Wow!! This story is full of all kinds of twist and turns! I can totally see why it's called... Complicated. This story starts off right where Conflicted ended with Ethan and Mia still learning how to knock each others walls down. However, little by little they both start to open up to each other more and more. Ethan introduces Mia to important people from his past, which helps Mia understand Ethan's personality more. Mia also introduces Ethan to someone close and little by little Mia is able to actually think about her future.

In Complicated, Ethan and Mia's relationship was just starting and it was more of a push and pull relationship. I felt that this time around, we were able to see more of the loving relationship between them. I like how in love Ethan is with Mia and how he is always doing the sweetest things for her. I loved that he's finally opening up to her and letting her in. Don't get me wrong, they still had the bickering back and forth that I like to read about. They can be hot and heavy one minute and the next ice cold!! It's too funny. But when Ethan finally opened up, and let his true feelings out, it was so heartwarming as he wrote it out for her.....

"Like the ripples of the waves that glide along the water, I've searched ceaselessly to find the one that fills my heart like no other, I never knew what love meant until I finally got her.

Like the sands along the lake-shore, I'll ride along with each wave, always eager for more. Because I have your love there with me at my core.

Like the peacefulness in the air when I'm out there I'll spend every day showing you how much we share. I'll love only you for the rest of my life, this I solemnly swear.

Ethan made me fall in love with him in this story. I just loved watching him start to believe that he does deserve to be happy! However, Micah is slowly making his way into my heart! We finally as a reader know why Micah did the things he did and I can't help but want to root for him too!! I can tell that Micah still loves Mia, and I know deep down Mia still has a place for him in her heart. Besides, after she finds out the truth about Micah's reasoning's how can she not?? Ugh....I'm so confused, I don't who I want to come out on top!

I really did enjoy this book this time around. I was struggling with Conflicted when I was reading it. When I first started reading Complicated I was hesitant at first. However, I was presently surprised when I noticed that at some point I was looking forward to continue reading, so that was great! It totally switched my view on this series! So if you were like me at first, and you are debating about continuing on with this series, I suggest you do! I also liked that there was so much more action and suspense this time around. Towards the end, I was so nervous about what was going to happen! As for the ending, WOW!! The next book in line will definitely be interesting!

Once again, I loved Trey and Bri! I'm so happy that Trey finally knows the truth about Bri and I can not wait to see how everything falls into play in their future! I'm looking forward to seeing their relationship grow to the next level!!
