I've come to a conclusion that I can't read books that are set in the south because they seem unnecessarily overdramatic. Maybe these books are trying to be the next Dallas soap-opera but even that show isn't as senselessly overdramatic as these books.

It doesn't help when I don't enjoy the characters. Molly was just so wishy-washy in her convictions: she would be so independent in some situations and then not in others. Her whole reasoning for being with Brian was irritating and not completely logical. I get that Molly has some emotional issues based on her past, but she seemed to fully recognize the situation for what it truly is yet avoids the obvious outcome and chooses the blatantly wrong choice. I just felt like all the characters in the book were all on the same path but would just skip the last step and overshoot the conclusion.

As for Logan: he was just alright. I don't enjoy love at first sight stories and this is the case here. I can appreciate what their relationship does for each of them, I just wish it wasn't such an insta-connection at the start. My last comment on Logan is that I couldn't keep a straight face when he would call Molly "Cookie" -- gag :P I can appreciate the sentiment, it was just a tad overdone at times.

It didn't help that when I started the book I thought it was going in a different direction (curse you vague book synopsises!) so I really didn't know what to expect. The synopsis is true: it isn't a story about a naïve virgin; but it started in a place that even I wasn't expecting. Regardless, the book felt slow despite the dramatics and I just kept waiting for something to happen. I was going to stop reading but I really wanted to learn the "big bad secret" just to see if it was something petty or something serious and interesting. So I begrudgingly kept reading. I'm not overly upset that I did (it was an interesting secret) but I've read better.

Overall: I won't be reading the next book in the series unless the synopsis promises to be an interesting and captivating read (which based on this book seems unlikely).If you like overdramatic books with nauseatingly sick love stories, you will like this one!
