Crimes of Passion Going from the first two Crimes of Passion books to CoP3 literally feels like this
After reading again the excellent work CoP and CoP2 are, I'm currently in the middle of CoP3 and this book is such a CHORE to go through omg you can tell that this is when the writing went downhill and that this is when they started to heavily rely on A.I because the general plot is so weak and uninteresting compared to the first two books. Neither did MC nor Trystan feel like the same characters I grew to love so much. I think it was kinda interesting that they made them fight over the wedding prep because it would have been a good idea to suggest that they were maybe rushing into marriage after dating only a few months lol (the book where Trystan proposes to MC was really cute, btut still lol) but their fights' sole purpose in this is to make them have make-up sex after (and don't even get me started on that scene where they hookup in those cops' office) while in the process completely destroying the character development they both had in the previous books. Also, I hate how mean MC is with Trystan in this, like sometimes you don't even have a choice but to give him a cold answer when it's totally unwarranted and I hate to hurt him lol and I also hate the CoP3 cover so much, like who is this man???? Not MY Trystan Thorne!
