review 1: 3.5 stars. Man, was this book a struggle. It was just so incredibly different than the first book. The characters didn't feel right. Even considering the accident and how trauma impacts people, they (Roman especially) still felt like completely different characters. And, of course, where the first book had more BDSM elements, this book seemed to be more about the emotional side of things. Although I enjoyed the introspection and emotion, I would've liked more of a balance between the two. For the majority of the book, I felt like the BDSM was left behind.I'm disappointed with the way Dare was handled. After the first book, what happened with Dare didn't make sense to me. And I'm not sure exactly what to say about the Vanessa storyline. Although after finishing the... more book, I am curious to see how that story plays out.It wasn't until I was 86% of the way through the book that I finally glimpsed the Roman from book one. He was finally a Dom again. I missed him greatly. I thoroughly enjoyed the story from that point forward. I found myself being interested in how Jason will fit into the picture. Looking forward to book three.
review 2: I enjoyed the first book of this series, and this second one hasn't disappointed me! I stayed up way to late to finish it.The story again focuses on the relationship between Roman, Jeff and Dare though this is really the story of Roman's rocky road! We take up about 3 months after the end of the first book, and all is not well. Jeff is unhappy with the change in dynamics after Dare has joined him and Roman. And whilst a central character, we don't hear much from him due to his accident.Dare is unhappy too, coming to terms with what he is and is not comfortable with after a sustained experience of the 24/7 life Jeff and Roman lead. He is also growing into himself after being repressed for most of his life and we see a more assured version, especially in crisis.Roman is a bit oblivious, taking their 'ok's' at face value though his more human side does come out after Jeff's accident and his carefully constructed world is crumbling around him.I enjoyed the journey that these characters went on in this book even though it wasn't all plain sailing. Have just seen that there is likely to be a third very soon - yay! less
