This is a great story, about two men who are trying to find their way through a relationship, and learn how to love each other. Catching a Pheonix caught my attention, and Keeping a Pheonix really kept it.

Wie hält man eine Phönix ist eine gelungene Fortsetzung zu Band 1. In der Rezension zum ersten Buch hatte ich um ein bisschen mehr Emotionen gebeten, mein Wunsch wurde “ein bisschen” erfüllt. Wie Band 1 lässt sich auch der 2. Teil flüssig lesen, hat sehr schöne und explizite Szenen und man lernt Jazz besser kennen. Ich habe Ryan des öfteren für seine Geduld bewundert und an einigen Stellen meinen imaginären Hut gezogen.
Die Szene bei Jazz’ Tante hat mich zum Schmunzeln gebracht und die beiden beim Einkaufen zu erleben, war ein echtes Highlight. Leider hatte ich zum Ende hin das Gefühl, dass der Autor einfach nur fertig werden wollte. Er schnitt das Thema Signierstunde und das spezielle Geschenk von Ryan an Jazz nur kurz an und dann kam… nichts mehr. Es ist, als würde ein Kapitel fehlen und er macht einfach mit der Hoteleinladung weiter. Nicht schlimm, nur schade.
Mir hat auch der 2. Teil der Phönix-Geschichte gut gefallen und wem Teil eins entsprochen hat, der wird auch hier nicht enttäuscht werden. Ich jedenfalls freue mich schon jetzt auf neue Geschichten von Sage Marlowe .

This is the follow up to Catching a Phoenix.
I loved this book. The characters were fantastic, complex and just a little flawed. The dialogue and narrative are witty, dry and captivating. It’s not an angst bomb, the issues Jazz and Ryan face are realistic, and the sexy stuff – is scorching hot! I read it in one sitting, it had me grumbling, laughing, concerned and seriously crushing on these guys. Highly recommended.

Great, Jazz has finally grown a back bone. Reading the sequel to Catching a Phoenix really helps me understand why he's such a pain in the butt at times and I feel reconciled. The wild card for a sexy night was an interesting idea and hell, the sex between these two gets damned hot in this book.
I'm still in love with Algy, more than ever!
