**3.5 stars** finally done with this review yay
Honestly, this book started off pretty great, especially the chemistry between Georgia and Logan WHOA *fans self*
*There are possible spoilers ahead, proceed with caution*
I've wanted to read about Logan ever since reading all those little hints about him in the other two books, and this book definitely delivered on that promise. And after hearing so much about Georgia and reading the *very* interesting teaser at the end of Tease, I was quite excited to read this and get into Georgia's head.
Unfortunately this book did not hold up to Foreplay's outstandingness. While Sophie Jordan definitely knows how to write chemistry and sexual tension and everything physical, she did not match that in the emotional department of a relationship.
Georgia, who I'd been slightly curious about since the second book, was someone I could see myself empathizing with at first. She doesn't want to fail her family, especially her overbearing mother and her expectations. She's a good girl, but she's a bit tired of being that. Relationship-wise, she's a disaster because she can't seem to find anyone, and when she ends up at the kink club, well it's not much better.
Until Logan ends up confronting her there, invading her comfort zone, someone who she shouldn't be attracted to, because hello, he's still in high school and also Reece's younger brother. Awkward much?
I was honestly quite surprised by how mature Logan was written, because he's almost my age, and I don't see boys like that in school. But while he was mature, there was quite a logical backstory for him, and I liked that. I also appreciated the fact that, for once, he was the one who wasn't afraid to confront his feelings/attraction towards Georgia.
This is where Georgia fell flat for me. She was so afraid of becoming someone other than the mask of being the good girl, the one who didn't disappoint her parents, that she couldn't seem to accept Logan. After so many times when she denied the relationship between her and Logan, even to her best friends, I was thoroughly disappointed in her.
The ending did not redeem my disappointment in their relationship and I wish there had been more of an emotional moment where Georgia is the one to step up first, not Logan.
(Rounding down because despite how much I enjoyed Logan's character, my overall satisfaction is closer to three stars than four. So the extra .5 star is all for him :P)
