I really liked the first book of the series (Summer Affair) but this one seemed to drone on without really getting anywhere. I thought eventually I had reached the climax but it kind of fizzled out, and then the book was over. The only other feedback I feel like might be worth sharing is that there are essentially 8 main characters to follow. In the beginning it was so hard to track who was who and whose partner was whose. I got it by the time it ended but it took some time to get there. Fingers crossed #3 is more exciting.
