As much as James has protected Rob, Rob has also been there for James in some pretty major ways himself. That dismissal has turned me off from the rest of the books.Īnother outstanding book by the delectable Ivy! I absolutely love the Hunted series, and while this is a side story to James and Penny's epic tale, we learn so much more about Rob and James's family dynamics, the relationship between the two, and just how much they have been through together. Who allows a “buddy” a pass after drugging their friend, who’s a KNOWN recovering addict!?!?!? I felt this was dismissed in extremely poor taste (and I am not even associated with anyone in my life who’s a recovering addict, it was just a common sense feeling). Matt isn’t the character you love to hate.

Had it resolved the first day at the pool when James was clearly uncomfortable and it was becoming concerning, then it could be laughed off. I think it’s meant to be funny but after several characters in the book tell her to back off, including James, it’s just gone too far and no longer quirky cute. Kristen is annoying and completely out of line with her stalker flirtations with James. His bad boy, player ways and her reserved, rule follower ways. The characters actual characteristics, in no way, matched up, especially given the timeline, it wasn’t even believable to have “made a change”, in one day! If the scenario had taken place over a longer period of time then I feel, in a romance book sort of way, you could see Rob and Daphne taking a turn.
