12 Kisses After Dark – Marie Force – 3*

12 Kisses After Dark – Marie Force – 3*

I've read all the books in the series and this one did not do it for me at all. Marie Force always goes back to all of the characters on the island which is great to see what they are all up to but this is the 13th book. There are more then 13 couples now so there didn't seem to be any time spent on the main couple. The time spent on Shane and Katie seemed very rushed and not all that believable.
*Spoiler*

My biggest issue with the book was when Shane's ex comes to town. Katie seems to take issue with the fact Shane wanted a minute with his ex. This is where I no longer cared for their relationship. Katie knew Shane had never gotten any closer from his ex yet she took issue with him wanting a minute to talk with her. When Shane does finally track Katie down she wants time to think because she doesn't believe he is over his ex. Doesn't matter that he said he was over her and he wants to be with Katie...nope Katie who had never been in a relationship prior KNOWS that Shane isn't over the ex. Shane had to go all out to prove to her he was over the ex. Not only does he have to prove to Katie but he has to defend his actions to his sister and her husband Katie's brother. I'm sorry I don't know anyone who wouldn't want to talk to their ex if they had been given no explanation for the divorce.

For me if it hadn't been for some of the other stories I would not have finished this book. But maybe if there had been less other stories the author could have done a better job with Shane and Katie.
