Disclosure: Some spoilers ahead - read this review at your own risk. (Sorry guys, not sure how to put my feelings about this one into a review without explaining things that happened along the way)

Whoa. What a roller coaster. I don't even know where to start. I love the Maddox brothers and I have really enjoyed this whole series.

I didn't really like Ellie when she appeared in the other books in the series (I love how they all intertwine and overlap by the way) and I didn't particularly like her in this one either.

At first I thought oh wow she's a massive bitch and then she started to get her act together. I'm thinking yeah good here we go, we'll see the real Ellie and the good side of her will learn to come out. Wrong. I hated how she made no attempt to help herself. She was going so well at the start and then gave up caring.

I hated how she treated Tyler, always with the excuse "I warned you!" - dude grow up, you can't use that as an excuse for your behaviour. You don't treat people that way constantly. Part of it was because she needed to learn to love herself, and to get out of the situation her life had fallen into, but still I wasn't impressed. I also thought Tyler put up with too much shit from Ellie, not something a lot of people would do. Shows another side of loving the bad with the good, but I think this was a bit too far. But typical of the Maddox brothers it shows his love for his girl and how he's willing to hang around and fight for her or whatever the case may be.

I particularly didn't like how people helped enable Ellie. Especially JoJo and Paige- taking her to the bar? Seriously? Even Tyler should've seen what was going on but he didn't. I guess you can hide these things really well when you're an addict, but I still feel that all these people who were close to her should've seen what was going on and made an effort to help her out.

Tyler realised this by the end, which was good, but the others didn't seem to care. I loved Tyler's character and his trademark Maddox cockiness and love for the girl he fell for, but he's not my favourite Maddox. Trav and Trent will always be my favourites.

I did really enjoy how Ellie fit in with the hotshots crew and how they all worked like a family. That's a great side to see in the book. And how she found a passion for photography. As an amateur/hobby photographer myself that's something I can relate to. I also liked how she is by the end of the book in terms of being a trust fund baby and the fact that she doesn't really care about that much anymore. You can see it throughout the book, but when she finally stands up to her Mum at the end it's the most obvious point and the best point.

I really loved having the overlap with the other books way back to Abby and Trav, which has been consistent throughout the series. It gives it that little bit extra I think and shows other sides of the timeline we haven't seen before.

All in all a great instalment in the series and a must read for Maddox Brothers fans.

(I was pleased to read after the end that Jamie McGuire is doing a novel about a couple of the secondary characters in this book. Bound to be interesting as always)

And when a Maddox boy falls in love, he loves forever.

It's still Trav and Trent for me, sorry guys <3
