I didn’t like this one as much as the first one, but it was still decent. I’m not a fan of insta-love, especially when the rest of the story is little over a week (including break-up time). Max was a good character and easy to connect with. Grady was a lot more difficult. We’re shown his family life is crazy and contributes to Grady’s attitude and anger ~ but the more he interacted with them the less compassion I had for his issues. He also has a LOT of issues and the author just “poof they’re fixed” with a few sentences and it left me feeling like Max deserves better or we should have had more story to show Grady’s growth.
The blurbs for the next two books don’t appeal to me, so I’m done.

I kind of wanted the fake engagement to hold out for a little longer because that was so entertaining and reminded me of one of my top fave films The Proposal.
The other issue I had was with Grady's father, I can kind of understand his frustrations with his son and the many ways he tried to combat it but the moment he threatened Max to not just break up with his son but to make it hurt and break his heart, what kind of a father does that? How can you threaten someone to break your own son's heart, that's just too cruel.
The worst part of it is that Grady is the one who feels he needs to make the first move in the right direction and the father doesn't even apologize in any form and just like that, they're relationship is repaired. The father who wanted his son's heart broken has no right being a father and should never have been redeemed like that.
