I also felt the author spent so much time with first half of the love triangle that the second half was rushed through and the development felt very forced. I'm just relieved I didn't spend money on but the first two of the series. I'd say book 3 was my favorite.

Funny, that is about how mostly I felt also. The first 3 are what I inhaled in like one after the other. I still loved #4, but the writing was on the wall and the 5th, although still good as it completed the series was a bit of a mess. I think I said at that point I was glad it was over. Would have been better to have maybe total 4 books and do 4-5 in one and less of the hot mess stuff.
I read the buys point of views books after I finished the series and they read quite nicely. Added some different view point to it and I do not ever like or read the same books from other viewpoint. But since it includes different stuff from the initial books, it worked for me. Probably because of being 1st person.
I am also one of those that hates, totally hates triangles. I still don't read them or like them, this was the only series and it worked for me somehow.
Of course I started her other 2 series with other pubishers and it does seem to be a "thing" with this writer. At least one of the other series. The Ivy one I don't know yet.
