Romance

Although the romance reads similar to the previous two books in the series, it is worth noting that several times the main character sleeps in the same bed as one of the brothers. No graphic details are described, but there is the implication of a physical relationship. 

Violence

There are a few scenes with characters fist-fighting or getting lightly injured, but no truly violent scene in the book. Even the main antagonist is not necessarily violent despite his kidnapping a few characters. 

Language

There were not any harsh swear words on par with the previous two books. 

Drugs and Alcohol

Some of the brothers do get drunk throughout the book similar to the previous books. It is not tasteful and they usually make stupid decisions when they are not sober. Note that the main character knows that it is stupid of them. 

Diversity

The two gay side characters are still in this book like the previous two. Their relationship is stronger, but no details are written. The brothers and other characters are not very diverse. It is mostly a book about a lot of rich kids. 

Demographic

The book is for Young Adult readers, which are typically ages 13-18. I would say that would be the appropriate age for the book considering the lack of romance and strong language. 

Storyline

Surprisingly, this was probably my favorite book of the series. Sure, it did not make up for the other two books, but I was pleased with the finale. The two love interests were still annoying, especially the older brother who broke down for no reason except believing his billionaire grandfather would not be proud of him. However, the main character had chosen the brother in the previous book which I think helped the romance in this one. 

The character tree is extremely confusing and it still takes me awhile to think of it all. Nonetheless, this book has given me a lot to discuss, including talking with my husband about what we would do if we inherited a net worth of 30 billion. We both agreed that we would at least quit our current jobs.
