Nachdem mir die ersten beiden Teile der "Compromise me" Reihe sehr gut gefallen hatten, war ich sehr gespannt auf den letzten Teil der Reihe. Leider muss ich aber sagen, dass das Buch mit meinen Erwartungen nicht mithalten konnte und für mich der schwächste Teile der Reihe ist.

Die Ausgangssituation zwischen Arden und Nick fand ich sehr interessant und habe mir ein paar amüsante Momente erhofft. Aber dann konzentriert sich das Buch eigentlich komplett auf den Sex zwischen den beiden und alles andere wird so nebenbei erledigt und am Ende sind sie natürlich verliebt. Ich habe absolut kein Problem mit diversen Sexszenen, aber hier war es im Vergleich zum Rest der Geschichte einfach zu viel.
Die beiden passten so zwar gut zusammen und es ging wirklich heiß her, aber als Charaktere sind sie mir zu blass und uninteressant geblieben.

Das Setting auf Maui war wirklich traumhaft und kam sehr gut rüber. Schade, dass der Rest da eher enttäuscht hat.

Usually I don‘t like to write reviews containing one or two stars, but here I have to be honest and give one star. But why? Actually the whole story is just about him trying to make her.. you know... Each freaking day. It is lame and also a bit shabby. The whole story is just concentrated and reduce on to that ONE thing and that‘s it. Therefore the characters are just flat and I couldn‘t really get their real nature besides the whole wham-bam story. And what annoyed me the most? To get to read the epilogue you HAVE TO sign in the newsletter. Otherwise you won‘t have the opportunity to read the end-end. HELLO? You must be kidding! Really CAN‘T recommend it.

As I‘ve read volume one of the series, I was just curious what happend to the other characters and thought, well ok, let‘s give it a try. I really really liked the beginning. The prologue was cute and I thought the story would continue like that. Though I should have known it from the first novel, I was a bit surprisd about the sudden change within the story. Where as the beginning was so cute and the charcters so charming and adorable, I couldn‘t quite understand their moves within the story. Ok, sure, I knew what genre this book belongs to, no problem, but it was a bit disconcerting that he just gets to that party and wham. You know what I mean? He waits for years and than he just crushes on her as if he was living in some kind of abstinence and suddenly he just decides to change that? A bit weird... Nevertheless I liked the main charcters better than in some of the other books in this series and because of the lovely prologue I make it a review with two stars. I‘ve read better but also worse books.
