One of my more favorite in this series. Story moved quickly and was interesting .

I like this story. The primary characters were interesting and the relationship seemed real. The Covid stuff didn’t add anything.

I just reread most of the series prior to reading this book. I liked the main characters but I have noticed a pattern in recent books including this one. Probably half the book is the characters (both primary and peripheral) talking about their feelings. The books have become very introspective and there is lots of self analysis, much more so than earlier books. They are almost condescending in how the residents of Lusty are so wise and people outside are not. All this has come at the expense of any plot or story. The plot is somewhat thin in this book. I kept waiting for it to start moving. As I look back on my favorite books in the series, they all have more a much more involved plot or story and less talk or self analysis. The characters in this book were likable but the story never reaches its potential.

It was okay. Still not near as good as the earlier books in the series. Too much introspection and self-analysis and not enough story action in my opinion.

This may be my least favorite book in this entire series. First, the reader doesn’t really know the primary characters from previous books. The men, Peter and Charlie, were only mentioned in passing and Jennifer was entirely new. So one would think there would be some introductory story on how they came to be in Lusty, how the men became so close, and some type of encounter of attraction but this was entirely glossed over. I had trouble caring about the characters in the first third of the book because I didn’t know them. I also couldn’t understand what the dream thing meant until almost the end of the book. It was not well explained early on. The initial trespassing scene seemed implausible as well. In most of the Lusty books, the reader understands and cares about the characters from the beginning. This story felt disjointed. I ended up liking the characters but it took way too long to get there. Lastly, please leave out the COVID minutiae like telling us when they are masked and they had to remove them to eat. It doesn’t add to the story at all and after a while, it just seems preachy.

Let me preface by saying I own every Cara Covington/Morgan Ashbury book and reread the entire Lusty Texas series in anticipation of this book. I would give most of them 5 stars. However I was disappointed in this one. I liked the main characters and their love story but the pandemic back story seemed contrived and awkward; almost like after the main story was drafted, the pandemic part was pieced in. In places, the pandemic part of the story had a doom and gloom feel ( in contrast to the primary love story), and in others, it was somewhat preachy. I felt that having the pandemic as a major part of the book didn’t add to it. Maybe I wouldn’t have felt this way if it as a smaller part of the story. In general, however, I didn’t think this book met the expectations I had for it.

I like this author and have all the books in this series. The characters are likable and the details of the sci fi alien world interesting. My only negative comment is that it felt like I was reading parts of the previous book in the series verbatim. Many of the descriptions of the Noglion world were the same in both books. I would have liked a little more variation in the descriptions of the accommodations and activities.

I really thought this book and this series were going to be great because it started off strong. I liked the premise for the story; it is unique and interesting. I liked the main characters, who were both strong individuals. About halfway through however, the story became just so-so. Nothing new or particularly engaging. I wasn't real motivated to finish it ( although I eventually did) because it seemed to be the same old thing.

The longer this series goes on, the harder it is to keep track of all the characters. This book does not particularly distinguish itself as bad or good. It advances the overall storyline of the series, but thereis nothing memorable about the book's story. I also dislike the phoney Irish accent the characters affect, but that's been true since the first O'Hagan book. I think it detracts from the story.

Really enjoyed this one.

This book is not up to Stormy's usual standard. I generally really like her stories and this one was just okay. Like the first one in this series, it feels incomplete because more attention is paid to the series story arc than the individual book's characters and story line. I believe a good book should be able to stand on its own merits and this one struggles a bit.

This Divine book has a few more holes in the plot than previous ones but it still a gem. This author writes compelling stories about people we come to care about and root for their HEA. Her dialogue and descriptive story-telling engage the reader in the lives of the characters. I highly recommend this book and if you haven't read the earlier Divine series books, I recommend starting at the beginning so you know the entire cast of characters.

When you read Cara Covington, you realize what a good erotic novel should be. You come to love the characters and care about their happiness and well-being. Like the prevous books in the Lusty series, this was a great book with well-drawn likeable characters. The thing I like about Cara's books is that her primary characters behave like rational people might, given their experiences and history. I dislike books with whiny characters who do irrational, stupid things to get themselves into predicaments. Cara's books are not like that snd I always like and admire the people she portrays. Read this one.

While I love most of this author's books, this one felt too unfinished. It was more like a couple chapters in a story that I have to wait for the next installment. This is a chronic problem with series books. Too often they are either too much alike in character and plot OR like this one, the series storyline becomes the dominant focus, leaving the book plot feeling loose and unfinished. I can't rate it higher for his reason.

In general, i have loved this series and given the books good reviews but this one just didn't measure up. I did like the characters, but found the plot far fetched and Harley's actions at times illogical. I hate it when a good story idea is ruined by unbelievable coincidences and character actions that don't make sense in the context of what we know aboiut him.

I really like this series and the unqueness of the stories. Stormy usually does a good job of developing an interesting plot that sets the backdrop for the relationship to develop.

This book was better than the previous one. There are still too many characters to remember and keeep track of. However, the main characters are much more likeable and the overall story is much better.

Okay but not as good as the first two in the series.

An excellent addition to this series. Cara Covington's books always have well-developed stories, interesting characters, and hot love scenes. Her dialogue is polished, her characters realistic and i look forward each new book's release.

This story was much more unique than previous ones in the series and that was a big plus for me. I liked that the issues surrounding the triad were different ( not the usual villain trying to kill someone). The only thing disappointing about the story was the relationship was not well developed. Two dates, sex, and we're in love. I liked the characters themselves, but they deserved a more fleshed out relationship and story.

I really liked this book. The characters were likeable and the erotic scenes well written ( which has always been this author's strength).

I like this series. The first book was excellent and this one was good. I really like the characters and look forward to the next one.

This wasn't a bad story but there was very little about the development of there relationship. One day they have sex and the next day, they are in love. The evolution of them as a couple seems a bit lacking in the overall story.

This was a good story with likeable characters and well written sex scenes. The plot was plausible and had good flow.
