When the shy and reserved Midwesterner Olivia Rowland met Max Dalton, one of the brightest and most successful writer/producer/director Hollywood had seen in years, the two set off on a wild ride of extremes—passion, lust, fear, doubt.

The two have been tested by each other and by outside forces.

Olivia and Max seem to be on a path to having everything they both desire—an unbreakable union above all. But in this conclusion to the FADE series, they will face some of the toughest challenges neither of them could have imagined.

My Opinion

Pendapat saya masih sama seperti untuk ebook 1 dan 2 nya. Ceritanya terlalu simpel dan mudah di tebak. Banyak adegan yg membuat saya berasa 'DejaVu' dg buku2 lainnya. Karakter Max memang manis sih, tapi gak cukup nendang bagi saya. Masih kalah sweet sama yang lain. :p

Konfliknya umum....kurang menggigit ! Narasi dan deskripsi biasa aja. Kesan cerita seperti 'terburu-buru'....dan fokus hanya pada adegan uhuk2nya aja (namanya jg erotika booo !!!!)

Olivia Rowland leaves her Midwestern life behind after graduating from college and heads off to Los Angeles to work for a Hollywood talent agent. Life in L.A. is a culture shock, but nothing compared to the jolt she gets when Max enters her life.

Max Dalton is Hollywood's youngest and brightest movie producer/director/writer. He's wealthy, successful, hot, and there's never a shortage of women throwing themselves at him, but there’s only one woman he wants, and he intends to make it happen.

As Max pursues Olivia, he finds that she presents a whole new challenge for him. When Olivia finally gives in the stage is set for a perilous, yet passionate relationship. Together they discover each other’s deepest desires, and darkest secrets.

My Opinion

Aku merasa cerita ini memiliki potensi besar tetapi itu tidak dimanfaatkan penulisnya. Karakter sekunder dua dimensi dan stereotip dan Chris, mantan kasar, tampak seperti dia datang begitu saja. Tidak ada kedalaman nyata untuk dia dan saya tidak punya pemahaman tentang apa yang memotivasi dia untuk berperilaku dengan cara yang dia lakukan dan mengapa ia begitu terobsesi dengan Olivia.

Terlalu banyak pertanyaan tak terjawab. Karena memang alur yang benar-benar cepat. Detail yang benar-benar kurang terasa. Aku tahu, tidak semua harus didetailkan, namun tetap harus ada bukan? Walau secara tersirat.

Tidak ada percakapan berarti. Tidak ada konflik yang terasa. Hanya fokus pada adegan seks saja.
