Let me just start off by saying that I'm a huge Sylvia Day fan. I love her erotic novels. Her characters are so relatable and I love reading about them falling in love. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case with this book. I was just so bored with the whole thing. The characters didn't feel real to me and the romance between them felt forced and controlling.
The writing was good. I didn't have a problem with the story arc or the drama that was sure to ensue with a romance novel. But since the two love interests were so flat to me, I just felt annoyed with each new problem presented to them. Jackson and Gianna totally deserve each other though. They have a way with dramatics and it suits them perfectly. But all I wanted was for them to move on and get away from each other. I liked the first story, Afterburn, better than I did the second on. Aftershock became a bit too melodramatic and completely took me out the story. The book then ends abruptly with all the issues barely resolved and Jax and Gianna becoming engaged.
I'm sorry that I didn't like this book more. I really thought I was getting Grade A romance but it failed to impress me. I'll be keeping an eye out for more books by Day. I'm sure I'll love the next book I'll read by her.
