My Review: (has swearing in it)

My Rating: -5/5 Goodreads Rating: 3.80/5

This book pissed me off at least 75% of the time. The characters were nothing like what I prefer. Kelly was very weak and Ryan was just an asshole. Neither of the main characters I liked in any remote way. The female protagonist was so stupid and naive I wanted to slap her so bad. The hero was an ignorant dick. If he was my boyfriend I would have punched him till he had a broken jaw, bloodied lip and a black eye! In spite of it being in the 21st century Kelly had no common sense. Who leaves school to be a good girlfriend??? Then the hero throws her out of his life and makes her feel like a whore.

Jarrod was just another annoying complication. Add that to a bitch of a mother, friends that seem quite shitty, a brother who should just die and the next bitch wife prospect trying to get together with Ryan. (I can't even call him a hero as he wasn't that for me.) The whole Jarrod, Kelly, Ryan situation pissed me off. Especially since if Ryan had actually loved Kelly in the first places he would have believed her over his brother, or at least bloody listened to her and thought about what she was feeling. Rather then just being an insensitive bastard like he was. And anyway I don't mind if there is a meddling bitch of a mother but this book just didn't fit it and honestly wasn't that good.

Most of the characters were jerks. The conflict was just too big for me and unforgivable. I wouldn't have ever talked to the hero again if I was the heroine. I would have taken every penny I could squeeze out of him and said later sucker.

****SPOILER**** And the surprise marriage proposal 75% ish way through the book was unnecessary. Ryan didn't trust her or even listen to her. Kelly was the damsel in distress just going along with whatever Ryan said. They hadn't rehashed the past which was the main obstacle in their relationship. It just disgusted me. If some dick did that to me I would have said no, hellll no. You have a voice he can't force you to do shit. God! The proposal probably wasn't even said out of love but because of the baby. Most of this story probably wouldn't have happened if she hadn't gotten pregnant.

**End Of Spoiler**

The entire book annoyed me, the book wasn't paced properly there was no character development, half of the things that happened were pointless and a waste of time. I have read so many books and I can honestly say that this is one of the worst I have ever had the displeasure to read. I only kept reading as I thought a book couldn't be this bad all the way through. The whole story was a waste of my time.

I liked none of the characters absolutely zero. Kelly would be better off without ever meeting Ryan. Ryan was one of the worst male leads I have had the horror of reading about. I have no idea how some people could rate this a four, let alone a five. And honestly I don't know how this has an average rating of 3.80/5, for me it would have been lucky to get 1.

I have actually liked other books by this author but this one just wasn't for me honey. Hated it. Fucking HATED it.

(This was completely my opinion you may end up loving this book and question if you read the same book I did. Or you could hate it as much as me. Sorry about all the swearing in this review it just pissed me off so much.)
