DNF at 52% BECAUSE

I enjoyed the first book well enough; it was an enjoyable read and the story was a good mystery. I liked Ian in that book, and I liked Ian in this book, although, again, a lot of angst could be avoided if people would just say things instead of being vague, but then, where's the story? I liked Ian until all of a sudden, he turned into Christian Grey about 45% of the way into the book, becoming possessive to the point of semi-abusiveness, paranoid about any other man in Lexi's life, controlling, and generally a man that I'd run like hell from. One moment he's full of love and imagining Lexi pregnant with their child, unable to imagine his life without her, and the next he's aggressively "claiming" her as his. That was it for me. I also skipped over the section where Lexi reads from the selection by her favorite author. I should have seen where it was headed. I know Ian had a darker side, but that was just too sudden a switch, and not to a pleasant place. Oh well. Everyone else loves it, so I guess I'm in the minority. ( )
