4.5 stars.

I love this series! Granted I haven’t read all of the books, but this family are great.
I love December and Gareth. I love their connection, I love their relationship and I love Mitchell and Max.
I did think everything happens a bit quickly for my liking, but I know that’s the go with this family.
I also thought there’d be a little more drama. The issue at the school came a little late for me and was over a little too quickly and easily for me, but it wasn’t something massive.
This is a great series and I highly recommend it!

I read this for the ultimate reading challenge, July book - a book made into a movie.

I’ve heard such great things about this book, about this series, but I’m sorry to say that it didn’t really live up to the hype. For me it’s WAY too similar to an other famous grey trilogy. So many times something new would be revealed about Colton and all I could think of was Christian.
I also found the writing style to be a little stilted, the use of contractions was a big thing for me. Also, and this is odd I admit, but the excuse of exclamation marks bothered me as well.
I think I’ll get the second book, if only to skim through it so I get an idea with what happens, but I won’t be continuing with the series.

I voluntarily received an advanced review copy of this book and chose to review it.

I liked this book. I liked the chemistry between Vain and Lizzy, as well as with her brother. I did feel that I would've liked a little bit more, but I like how the story panned out. A great, quick read.

While I'm a fan of short and hot, I don't think Roommate went far enough. I think the heat could've be turned up so much further and would've resulted in something that would offer a direct comparison to Alexa Riley, which this isn't. Sorry!

Ugh. I really wanted to like this book, this series, but I just can’t. I wanted more, SO much more.
I wanted more sex. Being a RH, I thought it would be heavy on it, but it wasn’t. I’m fact, I’m not sure if it is a RH, except for the fact Marnye is dating several guys. I wanted to see group, or even pairs, but we only get one on one, and not more than once before fading to black.
I wanted more of a connection to the guys. I wanted an individual connection, something special which binds them, together. I wanted a reason for her to want to be with each of them. I wanted a reason why she chose Creed first.
I wanted more bullying, more sophisticated bullying. I’ve said before this series reads young, and the bullying is immature. I wanted it to be more horrible, more hard hitting, more violent even, but it’s kind of tame.
I said I’ve yet to read a good RH book and I’m not sure this one is it. I know people rave about this series, but for me, it’s just okay.

I’m a little frustrated with this book. It was SO slow! I think it was more concerned with the passage of time, rather than what was happening. Then, when things finally did happen, it was so incredibly rushed.
I wanted so much more with the boys, the original three. We barely see them, but what we do see, I loved. But it was by no means enough.
And what is with the constant mention of how they smell? It’s not entirely consistent either, but it’s more than a little annoying.
What’s also annoying is Windsor. If you’re going to involve British royalty, you need to at least have some basis in fact. Yes, he’s a fictional character but make him fictional, don’t bring in reality.
I really wanted to like this series, but this book is so slow! I’m also really wanting some action. A few kisses and a grinding session isn’t really doing it for me, sorry.

I want to like this book, this series, I really do, but I just can’t. I’m finding I don’t really like Maryne. She grates on me. How on earth can she just forgive the boys like that is beyond me. I don’t buy it. The constant stressing of how she’s so accepting is over the top.
I also don’t really like Zack or the way there’s always hints about Windsor. Again, the constant mention of each guy’s scent is mentioned, over and over and over and over. As is their posture and mannerisms. We’ve been reading these guys for 3 books, we get it!
And things just move so slowly here. Again, it seems more concerned with the passage of time, rather than events. Several are lumped together and it seems clumsy.
My last issue with these books as a whole is that they read young, which seems odd for a RH book, but they do.
I’m still yet to read a great RH book and I don’t think these are it. If you’re a fan of the trope you’d probably like it, I’m just reading to see what happens now.

In the end I quite liked this book. I will say it took me a little while to get into, getting used to all the characters and where they fit. I also felt like the first half was a bit slow. I think it took the boys a while to warm up to Maryne and for me, there was no definite turning point, which I felt like I needed to solidify their relationship.
I did really enjoy the three seperate and distinct personalities of the boys, Zayd is a definite favourite.
I was a bit annoyed by the constant secret keeping, especially in regards to the Infinity Club, but once it played out I felt it was worth it.
I’d definitely recommend this book, and will be starting book 2 immediately!

This was a solid book. I love this series, Unexpected Reality is one of my favourite books so I was excited to get back to this group.
I loved Reagan and Tyler. They’re a great couple, i just wish we could’ve seen more of the gooey, sappy couple-y stuff. I know that’s not not how their relationship evolved but it is something I wanted to see.
Also, because of the course of their relationship, you do tend to anticipate something bad happening. I’m not entirely sure what happened was as big as I thought it would be, but it was a shock anyway.
All in all I don’t think it quite lived up to Unexpected Reality, but it is a solid book and I do recommend it if you’re after an easy read.

3.5 stars.

This is a decent book. It’s nothing that’s going to blow you away, but if hot, steamy, and taboo is your thing, this is your book.
It follows the same formula that a lot of these short-ish books seem to follow. Not a whole lot of story, but a whole lot of steam. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but I did think the taboo aspect was a tad bit overplayed, more than necessary. We get it, it’s not a conventional relationship but I think the more it’s pointed out, the less it sat okay with me. I didn’t need to be constantly reminded.
Still, it’s a decent book, in the same vein of all these types of books. If short, hot, steamy, taboo is your thing, give it a go.
