Ruthless Knights by Eva Ashwood

I said I would push through, and so I have. I finally got around to reading the second book in the Dark Elite series. 

This story feels more like a long fan fiction rather than a book, in my opinion. It could have more details, it could give you more back story, it could be longer. I would have loved for the plot to be more in depth and I think I would have actually liked the story a lot more. In addition to the plot, and the length, there are other things that bother me, such as there never being any dialogue between the female character and the four guys that she keeps hooking up with about what exactly is going on. I know this is a fantasy, but there is no way that a woman living with four men is hooking up with all of them and no one is talking about it. It’s not like I can even imagine it happening in the background because the way the story is written makes everyone seem so one dimensional. The female character never has a single conversation with any of the guys regarding their intentions with her, and the men never talk about it among themselves either. And the worst thing is, everyone knows what is going on, but they are just completely ignoring both the situation and the conversation that really needs to happen. I am hoping for some confrontation and resolution in the final book in this trilogy. 

I think I am going to try to read the third and final book one day this week so that I can move on to better things. This might be my first Friday bonus review of the year, so keep a lookout.
