I think there is a point where going back and forth between past and present and different POVs stops being pragmatic and starts being just annoying. I think there is a point where going back and forth between past and present and different POVs stops being pragmatic and starts being just annoying.
For me, this books went so much back and forth that I just lost interest altogether. I mean, I would just start to feel something for a character and then whoosh! we go back to the other character's past and then when I would feel something for that one, it would transfer me to the other lead's present or something.
It got to a point when I decided that I wouldn't finish this series even if the plot had a lot of potential of being good. And maybe it was but sadly, the editing turned me off.
Not interested in the second installment. Even though I crossed the 75% mark on my ebook....more
It wasn't what I expected, to summarize in one sentence.

When it started, I was treated to a scenario completely different to what I had in mind. I had imagined it to start off with a wedding and then there would be honeymoon and you know, how normally the third book in a romance trilogy works. But the way it started completely blew my mind. I loved it.
But then around 30-40% I was ready to dnf it because it was just too much. They had overcome their issues and they almost took 3-4 chapters on one scene. I ended up skimming and skipping through it. I had every mind to just abandon this book if it continued like this.
But then it changed. Boy, did it change. It turned from sweet (whatever they call sweet) to horrible in one minute flat. It captured my interest back full force and didn't let me go until nearly the very end. I really enjoyed it.
Out of all three books, I'd say 2nd one was my the most favorite, then this one and the least favorite was the 1st one (I still liked that book though). This book was sooooo long! I couldn't finish it in one sitting and I had to take breaks. But still, I finished it in less time than I expected. All in all, it was a good conclusion to the series. :)...more
I didn't particularly 'like' the first book in this series (Tears of Tess) and I wasn't going to read the sequel, to be honest but when I saw so many I didn't particularly 'like' the first book in this series (Tears of Tess) and I wasn't going to read the sequel, to be honest but when I saw so many 5 stars in the reviews, my curiosity got the best of me.
All I can say is... This book made me feel something so deep that I cried from pain and shuddered in terror of what was happening. My heart was truly and utterly wrecked while reading about Q's turmoil without Tess, Tess's horror of what she was going through and after that, both Q's and Tess's helplessness, especially Q's.
This book was really something else entirely. And I'm not saying this lightly. I've read some particularly dark books like Debt Inheritance (also by Pepper Winters), Dirty Angels and Captive in the Dark, so believe me when I say that Quintessentially Q was the extreme for me. Even though I cringed repeatedly throughout this book, I couldn't tear my eyes away....more
