First of all I take back what I said about Emir's relationship in the review I wrote on the third book. I should have known better too, he was obviously not thrilled about his wife's vacation, only I thought he was simply missing her. That being said, Emir is still awesome and despite not being in the series that much, he's definitely one of my favourite characters.

Turning my attention to Sophie and Neil, I was a little anxious reading this book. The title made me wonder who the ex is, or better said which one of the exes. Like in The Bride where the bride was, well, all of the brides, here the ex was, well, all of the exes, only some of them more troublesome than the other.

At first, when I started reading the series, I saw Neil as a regular 45+ year old guy, nothing special about him, but after reading more than a half of the series he's much more attractive to me. Getting to know what he's been through and how he dealt with the issues in his life does something to me and I am even more proud of him than the last time. And what a weird thing, this shift on how I view Neil throughout the books.

I'm completely taken with this series, I am enjoying it so much.

Luckily for me the next title is not as anxiety inducing as the others or as it was before I read this one, so I am looking forward to whatever else happens in Sophie and Neil's lives. And, as usual, I'm keeping an eye open for Emir.
