review 1: After finishing the first book in the series, I bought this one right away because I was eager to see where the characters would go next.Sadly, I found this book very disappointing. All of the tension of the story vanished around the midpoint. And up until the midpoint, there was little more than what was mentioned in the blurb. I skimmed from about 60%-80%, when it finally looked like something interesting was about to happen, but no, that resolved very quickly and anti-climatically as well. Skimmed some more to the end, and finally something interesting -- the books ends on a cliffhanger. Which, at this point, just annoyed me.There weren't worthy consequences to the characters' actions, and so much of the book just felt like it was a single character giving a monologue t... moreo explain things that happened in the past. Having just read a long scene of that at the end of book 1, multiple of those scenes in book 2 was monotonous. The entire book seemed like filler just to get to the cliffhanger at the end, and because there's really no climatic scene at the end, it just feels like the author reached a certain page count and said, "Okay, ending on the cliffhanger here!"At the end of book 1, I was invested in the characters and wanted to see what happened next to them and how they were going to eventually reach their HEA. But after book 2, I don't think I'm going to finish the series. :-(
review 2: Note: i received this book for free in exchange for a review. I like the fact that the characters of Morgan and Kayla are build further. They were a bit 'flat' in book 1. Now i felt more connected to all characters. The storyline is fluent and consistent. The story reads fast. I like the way Amy Martin writes. This book has less suspense as book one, but now i was more into the story because of the more lively and understandable characters. I didn't find any spelling/grammar mistakes. I'm wondering if there's going to be a third book. It ends quite abrubt with a cliffhanger, but the story is still complete. So no frustrating holes left! less
