Reaper's Fall

I never liked Painter and I probably shouldn't read his book but I just couldn't miss any details in this series, so... it was definitely not the book for me. I really like Joanna's style, that's why I keep reading her books, but I just couldn't connect with Painter or Melanie.
Still, I'm looking forward to Gage's book!

This was probably more of a 2.5, maybe 3 star read for me. There wasn't anything wrong with it per se. In fact it was kind of nice not having to read about Painter's manwhore ways in details, like some of the other books (cough Picnic cough). BUT, I just couldn't connect with Painter and Mel, we basically spend the majority of the book with them apart!

The prologue is present day, then we go back 5 years and work our way back to present day, which takes 80% of the book. By the time they reconcile it's a bit anti climatic, and we get very little of their HEA. I wish we could have gotten more after they got back together.

The majority of the book Painter was an ass, and Mel came off as kind of a bitch, I dunno, I guess I just found it underwhelming as a whole...sigh.
