Not to mention the fact that though he describes James as his friend, but still hates him underneath it all and blames him for all that happened before Brooklyn died instead of realizing it was the way Matt himself dealt with everything that caused everything. Now for Matt to be hanging out with James’ wife when James isn’t home and wanting her, just makes me want to punch him in the face. I mean really? Totally ironic that in high school he did so much to conceal the fact that James’ girlfriend kissed him so that James wouldn’t do something to hurt himself when at the time he was the one that did nothing wrong. So when this book starts out with him as a high school football coach (because he has nothing better to do), and wanting to sleep with his best friend’s wife, I hated it all. Sure he was being blackmailed, but the best way out of blackmail is to tell the truth and I thought he should have done that early on.


Matthew had what I thought were stupid reasons for hiding his relationship with Brooklyn and treating her like she was his dirty secret. It didn’t help that Brooklyn always seemed to get the short side of the stick in just about everything in her life. I thought he was weak, stupid and not worthy of Brooklyn (his girlfriend in high school) I have read all the previous books in the series and must confess that I never liked Matthew Caldwell.

I have to say, I really hated this at the start, though since I signed up to read this as an ARC, I was determined to stick with it.
