Series has become repetitive and is just dragging on
I liked the series to book four, but it has become far far too repetitive, and has some other serious issues. First of all, I never thought I would say this but, there are far too many sex scenes and too little plot development outside of sex. Certain plot aspects have been dragged out until they're just frustrating and no longer enjoyable, and are no longer enhancing or working for the overall story any longer. I mean I love a steamy romance novel but this has turned into just soft porn with unexplored plot devices tossed in in an effort to glue the sex scenes together. There is little to no effort expended on exploring the mystery part of it, only a repetitive topical mention which turns whiny and which at this point has been just dragged out without any real development to the point of ridiculousness. Secondly there is plot and factual problems with how intelligent and effective the main characters are. The author has portrayed the female and male leads as intelligent, savvy, ruthless, cunning, and highly strategic and successful individuals, and yet they can't seem to figure out who framed Hunt. In fact almost none of this plot is spent with them even trying to solve the mystery. That in itself is not too damaging except that the author does not write them even thinking about how to address it, and obvious opportunities to quickly explore the issue and make them look more intelligent are consistently bypassed. One such example is how no thought is given to Hunt's father being a suspect in the betrayal of Titan's past by either hunt or Titan (past a very initial and brief dismissal of the possibility when it initially happened). That is something that could/should have been addressed each and every time Hunt's father threatened him in the storyline, or at least especially after the crucial blackmail scene. There were so many missed plot options/opportunities: Hunt's supposedly extremely effective and excellent PI couldn't figure this out; Thorn couldn't have been a stronger character by trying to sort this out? Even more frustrating is the fact that the characters never really discussed or strategized how to address this major threat, with the exception of directly confronting the main suspect, which is pretty lame. Surely more plot development could be spent on them working together, or even working separately, to solve the greater mystery which poses significant risk to both of their businesses. The author didn't even think to have either of the main characters have their businesses or homes swept for listening devices or some other actions outside of constantly having sex. The the hole left by the author not writing in action to address the main plot device outside of their sexual activities has made her characters look incredibly stupid, and has contradicted her characterization of them being intelligent, successful, task oriented, highly capable, problem solving, savvy, and successful people. She is telling us what her characters are and showing us something different with how she writes their actions/behavior. Real top executives would never fail to on sorting out such an important threat. In the end the mystery, and the tension around it ends up adding a significant amount of frustration for the reader and detracting from how the characters are viewed rather than being an enjoyable or diverting plot device. Thirdly, there are the issues regarding the love triangle. Some reviewers have said they felt that Thorn is extremely self-centered, but I find the opposite to be true. He isn't self-centered -- he is direct and unapologetically honest, telling her what truth she needs to hear, not what she wants to hear, never pulling any punches to save her feelings, being honest for the greater good. However Hunt is an extremely selfish man, for example when Hunt finds out his father knows about his secret affair with Titan, he refuses to tell Titan that their secret is out because he's afraid she'd stop sleeping with him; so basically he's lying to her and putting her at greater risk because she doesn't know someone has blackmail material on her. It seems fairly clear Hunt's father should be considered a possible source of the leak. Even if he's not, the blackmail scheme was unforgivable, which really grates on my nerves because I know in future books Diesel's father is reconciled during the tragedy with Titan. Due to the stupidity of the characters as evidenced by Titans repeated mistakes falling into bed with Hunt, as well as they're complete inability to sort out who their shared enemy is -- illustrating a decided contradiction in plot facts by the author or laziness on her part-- the repetitive nature of the plot, I'm really losing interest in the series. I would like more plot time spent on the mystery regarding who outed Titan's past; I would like more of the story spent on the mystery than on just repeated sexual encounters.
Poignant family issues
I have completed reading all nine books in this series and I am so happy that I stayed with it. There are some beautiful relationships that need repairing and even though these characters are successful and wealthy, their humanity becomes very prominent. I have loved the characters and I have loved the issues that they have dealt with. I feel they truly represent the saying:Blood is thicker than water but you need both to survive.
I hate Thorn this series is long less sex scenes and the series would be 3 books not 6
What is up with Thorn he can clearly see Titan is in love with Hunt why would he try to make her hold up the pack about getting married . Thorn doesn't seem like that great of a friend he holds everything he did for her over her head. I would like to read a story where Thorn falls in love and doesn't get the girl cause he is a jerk.There are lots of sex scenes in this book I'm bored with now and skip them .
Wow
Another WINNER in the series! I am thrilled that Titan and Diesel are working yhings out. I am keeping an eye on Thorn! It really bothers me that he continually throws up to Titan EVERY thing that he has done for her in the past. He is being a selfish jerk and I can’t help but wonder if he is up to something senister. I can’t wait for the next book!
I'm so happy to know that Tatum and Diesel are still my ...
I'm so happy to know that Tatum and Diesel are still my favorite couple! I read this book as quickly as I did the others. I can't wait to find out what else is in store for these characters. Thank you V. Quinn for writing such an amazing series. I can't stop reading! March 6th can't come quickly enough!
So frustrating
I liked this one, but there were things that kept me from loving it. 70% of the book was Deisel and Titan having sex and it got tiring. I wanted more drama, more closer, and I wanted them to do other things than have sex all day. Thorn was so annoying; he seemed selfish and money-hungry to me. He kept throwing things in Titans face and was more worried about his happiness than hers. Titan got on my nerves too; Deisel deserved better. This book was just frustrating for me. This series is a money drainer and it’s dragged out; it should have only been four books, not nine.
Bella
I was off work and took The entire day to reed the book...Don’t get me wrong I love it but I want it more ... I want Titan pregnant with like 5 kids and they both took over Manhattan lol Love it over all
My Heart Almost Stopped!
Just wow! This book really got to me! It’s a hot one. I could not put it down. I think I almost cried when Hunt walked away. She really did not think that was coming. I am glad she FINALLY woke up. If you have not started this series....you are missing out! Ms Quinn, another outstanding job!
Addicting
I can't stop reading this series. I'm reading each book, I'm on a bender. Great books and endearing characters, you will fall in love with.
