review 1: Part 2 left off where part 1 finished. I really love the two main characters Jack and Abby however I was a little disappointed in book 2. I was happy how they grew as a couple but felt the plot was way too similar to book 1. Not for nothing after everything that happened with Emily in the first book, I find it hard to believe that Jack, Abby, Gus and Katie would trust and not be cautious to anyone outside of their group. It's nice seeing a story with a couple fighting the world and outside disasters/issues but I am also disappointed that Abby never tells Jack that one of the main reasons she went to seminary was because of him. Book 1 is a must read however book 2 I recommend for closure to the storyline.
review 2: I was very lucky to receive a copy of Scandalo... moreus 2 from the author to review. I absolutely loved the first Scandalous. It was different and I found it to be very unputdownable. I was content with Jack and Abby’s happily ever after so I’ll admit that I was a bit wary of what H.M. Ward would put my heart through next with Scandalous 2. It ended up only being a cult following trying to kill Jack and Abby. No big deal. NOT. I am still on the fence for romance suspense, but this book did it for me. Maybe it was all the hotttt scenes. Or maybe the suspense is what makes it so intense and captivating. Either way, I was Team Abby and Jack from the beginning of the series, and it stayed that way all through the second book despite the world’s attempts to tear them apart a second time.The story starts right where the first one ended. Jack and Abby are on their honeymoon. It’s their last day in paradise. Jack has a sweet dinner planned where they take a trip down memory lane as they eat foods that were significant in their past. Oh, and then they have sex in the private dining room, Again, no big deal. Then, they are thrust back into reality. Only their reality is more like a nightmare. Jack is opening a huge new show that has a lot of Abby art in it, but someone is turning the society against Jack. And if it involves Jack, it involves his other half, Abby. The cult is not only against Jack’s work, but they seem to have a personal vendetta against Jack and they want to see him dead. Well, that’s not going to fly, obviously. Throughout the book, we see Abby putting everything on the line to protect Jack and vice versa. Each of them feels like they have broken the other. They are very dependent on each other and selfless when it comes to the other. Frankly, it gets a little too exasperating at times. I just wanted to shake them and say, “When are you gonna realize that you’re at your best when you are together? And you can face anything together?” At least they didn’t try to run from their problems. And no one ever left the other. Sure there were secrets in order to protect the other, however, there wasn’t any pushing away. Probably because they’re married now. And, I think Jack already nailed that part in the first Scandalous. Surprisingly, I never hated Abby. Usually, with all that stress, the heroine usually becomes whiny and pisses me off. Yet, Abby was strong, compassionate, and determined. Especially for Jack. Jack was kinda pathetic when it came to Abby, but I suppose that’s all the romantic part. It was nauseatingly cute. Oh god, I haven’t even talked about all their sex scenes! Can I just say, HOT? Like gah, I needed to stop and fan myself at times. There are plenty and they are panty-melting. I loved it. Okay, so all in all, I loved it. It was just what I needed when I was visiting the City of Love without a significant other. The ending was a bit too perfect, which is saying something because I am a huge sucker for a happy ending. But, I mean, after everything the pair had been through I guess why the hell not? The only thing that bothered the crap out of me and took a lot of time getting used to was the style of writing. Scandalous 2 was dual POVs unlike the first one. HOWEVER, Abby’s POV was written in first person, while Jack’s POV was in third person. Like wtf? It confused me for at least the first fourth of the book, but then I got over it because of those hot and heavy scenes. H.M. Ward is definitely going to be one of my go to’s for those sexy scenes. I enjoyed reading Scandalous 2, and I know you will too. It’s definitely different. The plot of both books are unique and you won’t be disappointed if you’re looking for a quick read. “You are sexy in a completely understated way, which is the best way. You’re beautiful, you’re confident, you know who you are. Add in that sense of humor and your bedroom brain and, oh my God, I couldn’t have dreamed up a sexier woman.” less

A dramatic ending to an amazing series!After going through so much guilt and heartache Abby and Jack take the leap and get married. Abby has a lot of adjusting to do in getting married...she never thought that she would so she had given up on that dream. Getting your dream fullfilled is kind of scary and she keeps thinking something bad will happen in between being so happy she walks on air. Jack is still struggling with his guilt over corrupting her away from her church vows. He is extremely happy having his soulmate but he notices that extra sparkle in her eyes is missing (what a sensitive guy!). Abby struggles with finding her new self amid her past and new happiness. If all that emotion drama was not enough for them; some crazy religious groups start a witch hunt for Jack that lead to death.Such an intense dramatic read......and so full of sweet romance!

I really like HM Ward over all as an author but I did not feel like this needed to be written. This book was too much like the first, the sex was not as hot but there was a little more mystery. Abby and Jack are just adjusting to life together but it's weird how it was written, it was from their POV but Jacks was written in second person POV...I had a hard time with this through out the book, Ward should've just kept through Abby's POV. Oh well...on to another book as this unfortunately might be a little unforgettable.
