Easton Royal is simply use to getting what he wants. He is a Royal after all. He has his eyes on Hartley but she is not budging on giving him any play. She actually friend zones him but it doesn’t stop him from trying to get into her panties. Hartley just is not the kind who you jump into bed with. She is different than the other girls at the school.
I have to admit that I wasn’t necessarily keen on reading Easton’s story. Not that he wasn’t entertaining in the series so far, but readers already know he has a lot of issues going on and I just wasn’t up for it. Easton came on very mean in this book. He is always drunk and saying mean things to the women in the book, especially Ella. He then apologizes but does it all over again. I didn’t really warm up to his character like I did with Reed.
Hartley seems like an interesting character but I can’t say much about her. The book is mostly in Easton’s POV and his personality takes over the story. The mess that he keeps getting himself into is out of control as he tries to get the girl. He just pushes her away more and more.
The drama in this book is just over the top. I say that each and every book but I do mean it this time. These teens do whatever they want and the adults are just there for the ride. I thought we wrapped up a potential problem in the series but for some reason the problem is back. I am shocked. I wonder how is this even possible. Some of these characters keep making a comeback. What does this mean for all the main characters? At this point everybody in the story is a main character. Without giving away the cliffhanger, I will say that even I was like, what is going on?
I’m invested in this saga. I will read the next book to see where the drama leads us. I highly recommend this for fans who tend to love over-the-top stories with a lot sexual tension.
