"I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own."
We return to the story of Jasper and Hailey. Jasper is in the hospital after being hit by the taxi. Hailey is frantically worried about him, yet still has time to work the PR angle in his favor. It starts out with true potential for a deeper connection. However, that lasts about as long as Jasper's painkillers. The two continue circling around each other. They are attracted to one another, but find reasons not to be together. Disappointing.
Once again I am frustrated by this series. My complaint in book one was answered. There is more depth in this book. We have gotten to know the characters much more. The phrase be careful what you wish for, springs to mind. Hailey is one of the most frustrating females I have ever encountered in a book. She's smart, good at her job, yet she has no sense. Matthew is sleazy, so obvious, and even though her mind wanders when they are kissing, she still hasn't figured him out. Plus the whole frumpy dressing aspect doesn't work for someone who wants to be taken as a professional. She's too smart for these behaviors. It's irritating. And Jasper. How can one man be so shallow? Even when he's trying to be a good guy and not risk Hailey's future career, he still can't keep his pants zipped. Why would I believe for a second that he really feels anything for Hailey beyond lust. And that he has no problem getting from any other female he crosses paths with. He didn't slow down for a minute after getting hit by a car. His man-whore ways make him super unattractive to me. I'm not sure how much more I can take of these two. The remainder of the cast are unpleasant as well. Jasper's bandmates share his man-whore ways. Hailey's boss Bill is chauvinistic and demeaning, Matthew is slimy (already mentioned, but can't be repeated enough). Jasper's new love interest is disgusting and won't even be mentioned since she just wants the publicity. I can say that if he does hook up with her, I hope he finds himself in an even worse situation than the one that landed him needing PR in book 1. He has been warned, but if his ego doesn't allow him to listen, then I can have no sympathy. The security guard Sam seems fine and once again Carl is a lovely man. Unfortunately, he has not rubbed off on Jasper.
I find myself torn. I want these characters out of my life. However, I need to know that they grow up, redeem themselves. I want to know how it all plays out. I will read the next book and hope that the payoff is worth it.
