It really isn't a series, it's more like a soap opera that may never ever end! Mark. One simple word. The one we have been wanting more and more of this whole time. We have gotten just a smidgen of him here and there. Now we have an entire book of his brooding and mood swings. His emotional roller coaster. This man literally holds the entire world on his shoulders. Crystal. A woman. A woman who has a spell over Mark that he tries so hard to break for so many reasons. She is determined to be his rock. She feels she needs to help be his glue to help him hold everything together. In this book, you will get so many answers to questions you have had and some you didn't think of. However, as always with this series, you might be left with a few new questions. Don't worry, there is another book coming. We have one NEXT month and one in February. I am hoping these two will wrap up everything! This book will have you melting and on the edge of your seat! For those out there that have been like, will this ever end... Don't worry, you won't be disappointed, and this will eventually end. How it will end is yet to be seen! • OK, so why has it taken me 5 days to read a 256 page book from an author whose writing and books I’ve enjoyed? • What was I expecting from the story of Mark and Crystal? • Has this book meet my needs by tying up loose ends in the series? I find that I’m numb upon completing I Belong to You (Inside Out #5) by Lisa Renee Jones. The book just wasn't what I was expecting, and it didn't hold my attention. I edgy mystery woven throughout all of the books, just seems long,drawn out and tired in this book, and the love story just wasn't convincing. For me the romance between Mark and Crystal was like two magnets, put together one way they repel each other, turn one of them around and they attract each other. Both Mark and Crystal are strong characters, wounded and scared from earlier life issues, and use control of their surroundings and situations to protect their feelings. For them getting close or involved opens them up to their own vulnerabilities and to situations in which they might not be able to control the outcome. Was Mark drawn to Crystal out of loneliness, guilt, attraction or just lust? I felt that Mark was using sex to fill the void that Rebecca had left in his life, coming to terms with the fact that he did actually love her, he was in pain. I never felt an honest, emotional connection between Mark and Crystal. I found their declarations of love to be unbelievable, and way too soon with all that was going on around them. I saw Crystal as dutiful, wanting to keep Riptide running during Dana’s absence, and in that capacity becoming involved more with Mark. For me the relationship just wasn't what I expected. I wanted more tenderness, wanted to see Mark address his feelings towards Rebecca and his growing feelings towards Crystal. I wanted them to be together because they loved each other. I wanted to feel that love, desire and commitment. I couldn't get past seeing Crystal as a replacement for Rebecca (despite the words used in the story). I was also surprised that Crystal easily fell right into step with Mark’s sexual tastes, adopting the lighter side of bondage and impact play. I felt that there were issues that were glossed over and never really addressed. • Why was Rebecca really killed? Was it jealously, and if so what did Ava really want? • What was up with the kid, who was beaten – what info might he have had that was not made part of the story? • Why was Rebecca’s body never found? Ava could have really hurt Mark by telling him. • What was Ryan’s part in all of this? • What happened to Ava? • Why the hit man – what was it with Ricco, Jimenez, and Ava? • Why the rush to the traditional HEA for two people with so much emotional baggage (yes I saw they were in counseling) • What’s the status of Mark’s mother • What’s the status of both galleries – was Allure sold, and Mark and Crystal will continue to run Riptide? I’m glad that all ended well for Mark and Crystal, but for me this just wasn't a satisfying story. For me a 2.75 star read that I’ll round up to 3 stars I was provided with this advanced copy from NetGalley on behalf of Gallery, Threshold, Pocket BooksGallery Books.

Finally! We get Mark's story. I've been curious about him since the beginning. I liked seeing his vulnerable side. His relationship with his mother was beyond adorable and seeing him let his guard down again was worth the wait. Crystal is a good match for him. I was glad to see the loose ends tied up finally. I think that Chris and Sara should have had one less book and Crystal and Mark one more but that aside, a fulfilling end to a good series. ( )
