OK, so I read all 8 instalments of this in less than a day and I genuinely enjoyed them.I found Ian endearing, despite his occasional obnoxious aloofness, and I found Francesca likeable despite her occasional childish sulkiness.All in all a good story with some steamy sex scenes and interesting supporting cast of characters.I can understand other peoples frustrations at the way this was released and the cost implications, but in the end (maybe because I didn't have to wait for the next instalment) I think it was worth it.I don't think I've read anything by Beth Kery before, but I think I may go hunting and see what else I can find by her as I enjoyed the style of these 'books' This is a disappointing and very flat ending to Ian and Francesca's story. If you haven' t read this story yet, only do so as a whole book not in parts. It ruins the flow of the story and only reason I can think if that the publishers and author did it this way was to get on the band wagon of the FSG craziness and rake in the money.Very disappointed and if I was Ms. Kery I would be considering rewriting this last part of the story to a more satisfactory conclusion.
