I'm really enjoying the Off The Subject series and the story lines are really good and very enjoyable.This centres on Caroline and Reed. Caroline is friends with Scarlett, from book 1. She's a fashion design student at Southern University and her background was a very poor when she lived with her parents but she decided she could make something of herself. She has this thought process that she believes she has to have a high society husband who can provide for her and the family she wants to eventually have. She never thought she would have a strong attraction to a maths nerd like Reed. Reed asks her out at a party but she turns him down because he's not from a rich society and she even tells him that!! They seem to have a love, hate relationship and at time i never believed they were going to be together. This book is packed full of drama from the start and there are alot of secrets revealed throughout the book that's kept me gripped. Characters were both fantastic even though Caroline seemed so stuck up at times and i just wanted to strangle her for some of things she said to Reed. Great read and looking forward to reading Business As Usual book 3 which centres on Reed's sister, Lexi. It has been awhile since I read book 1 in this series, and in reading my review from After Math, I specifically stated I had not liked Caroline much and was not too thrilled to read her story, yet I don't recall why I disliked her so much from that book. I must say that I really enjoyed this book, and mostly enjoyed Caroline. While Caroline could be annoying and I didn't like that she was looking for old money, she certainly had a good reason to want to find financial security in her life. Reed enters the story very quickly. The first encounter between Caroline and Reed was really quite amusing and awkward. Their next few meetings were even more amusing, awkward and the stage was set to show how combustable they were when around each other. I love characters who bring out the best and most passionate sides of their personalities. I really enjoyed the witty and smart banter as well. Lexi was also quite a little spitfire, but a bit confusing. One minute she seemed immature, but definitely had a refined or sophisticated edge about her. I really thought the story was well thought out, it progressed at a really good pace and I was interested and engaged even if I figured out the secrets ahead of time. I enjoy this author's writing style and look forward to reading more books written by her.The reason I didn't give this 5-stars was because while I really enjoyed it, I wasn't completely blown away. I felt there was a bit of repetition in Caroline lamenting on her past and I wasn't really digging the 'let's date till you find a better boyfriend' schtick. I have been in a book rut as of late, too many just ok reads, I am happy I found this on Kindle Unlimited program. Loved this book and loving Kindle Unlimitedt!
