Yes, Mistress.

I call to order another meeting for those who have been victimized by Jenn Bullard!! #JBVA

Seduce is book 2 of the Cinderella fractured retelling: A Forbach Villain's Duet. It is a dark contemporary, why choose, with MM, and FF that will have you breaking out your tissues and vibrators.

The angst and heartbreak is devastating and freaking tears at you.

"Seven months into our incarceration, the screams went silent. The void of noise was as loud as a gunshot, as the Fckd up Trio, Isaac, and my eyes turned in the gloomy darkness in the directions of where our girl is."

The characters have that Jenn's trademark way of splintering under your skin with a plot heavy journey that takes you on so many twists and turns. Even the new characters that are introduced feel like home.

"Taking a deep breath, I remind myself that I can do hard things for thirty seconds at a time and then I can start the timer over and do it again. Time is relative."

Check those TWs, my friends and enjoy the ride.

MEETING ADJOURNED.

I think this duet is my absolute favorite Jenn Bullard story ever. Besides the really amazing unique take on a Cinderella story, the depth and complexity in the characters and storyline and plot was enough to break and heal my heart and soul. I met one of my absolute favorite characters I've ever read about. The smut is top tier as always with her books, but this plot line and story is just something else. I really can't say as much as I want without spoilers but please please please take the time to read this duet!

5⭐️ 4 🌶️

I was so nervous but excited to jump back into this duet. This one will hit you in the feels for sure. I’m not even going to lie, at about 1/4-1/2 way through, I had to put this book down and run to Facebook because I couldn’t remember if this was a duet or a trilogy and I had to prepare myself just incase this ended in a cliffhanger… thankfully, it does not and we do get our HEA even if we had to shed some tears along the way.

I love the guys and Andrya even more in this book and absolutely love how strong and resilient Silla is. I know I wouldn’t be able to go through half of what she does. There is so much character growth and growth within the group outside of Silla and I’m so happy that everyone has their reason to be in the group.

This book! This entire duet. Absolutely captivating from start to finish. I knew a HEA was in store for Silla and her group of effed up people. I just didn’t think I was gonna be put through the wringer for entire time. Silla does her very best to appease and placate her crazy step-sister, all the while trying to maintain dignity, strength and integrity so that she can get back to Grayson, Issac, Andrea, Ayden and Sidney. She tirelessly works to silently overthrow Queen Cinder, dodge the leering brother-in-law. I’m absolutely floored by everything Silla has gone through and now I’m sitting here, just wondering if Jenn Bullard will reimburse me for the ice cream I’m about to eat.

This is the second book in the Cinderella retelling of the Forbach duet, and this one is even darker than the first.  If you have triggers, please read the TW list before reading this book.  

“The Queen of Forbach rules with fear and terror within the castle, and there’s a river of blood to prove it.”

Silla has been taken by Cinder and no one knows if she is even alive....until one day months later she shows up at the Reform Camp, and she has changed.  They all have changed and experienced horrific trauma. Queen Cinder wants them to infiltrate The Underground, an organization that is trying to remove her from the throne. They agree, but really plan to find the traitors and join them.  Will they succeed or will Cinder discover their true intentions?

"Promise to stay with us.  Fight for what's important to you. Never let your light extinguish."

First off, I love dark fairytale retellings and this duet was excellent. I thought this was a really unique take on the traditional fairytale.  I want to do this review justice but also don't want to give any spoilers. You are going to go through the ringer with this one! The heartbreak and angst but also super sweet and spicy. Your heart is going to get ripped out at one point but I promise by the end you will be smiling. Silla really has a lot of growth in this book, and I loved seeing her get her confidence back.

I enjoy reading morally grey characters that I start out hating, but by the end have fallen in love with. Sidney, Ayden and Andrya more than redeemed themselves from the first book. Grayson and Issac...sigh, I love them. Sidney in particular really takes care of Silla when she first comes back, but they all really care for one another and are kind to each other.

The characters in this book deal with the aftermath of some horrible trauma. The way they approach each other afterwards with such compassion and acceptance and patience was excellent.

“Let’s get a move on, Kitten. We have a boyfriend to stalk.”

This book has some dark topics, but also has some great spicy scenes!! There is a scene in the woods that will live rent free in my mind for quite awhile. The banter is great, and I especially loved some of the little nickanmes they had for Cinder....Cinderc*nt is my personal favorite. Could this crew of 6 get another member?

“Now, now, Cinder don’t be dramatic. You’re the villain in this story”

“If you manage to pin me to the ground, I’ll let you fuck out that nervous energy. If I pin you to the ground, I’m in control.”

Seduce
concludes the dark Cinderella’s stepsister retelling begun in Desire. I am not exaggerating when I say this book is dark. Silla goes through some shit to reach her HEA. Her lovers are not spared either, though they trauma bond through their shared experiences and end up even closer as a result.

There is great character and relationship development between all the lovers, with a significant focus on healing. Silla wasn’t the only one victimized by her sister’s obsession. No one was spared, and it took some time to return to normal.

I did find that the relationships make a definite turn to poly vice a why-choose where they centered around Silla. By the end, everyone was in a relationship of some variety with the others, primarily a byproduct of their healing processes. (This is not a hit on the story, just a heads up to those who want the FMC to be the central love interest.)

My one negative: this book could have been easily shortened by a couple hundred pages (it’s a beast at over 400). I felt some parts dragged down the plot flow, with a bit too much self-reflection and a ton of background mission planning. I kept wanting to skip ahead to the good parts – the smut and action.

Seduce is fast-burn and filled with loads of kinky action. Special shoutout to several primal chase scenes that ended in explosive sex! This book has MF, MM, FF, and various group configurations.

Silla and her lovers earned their HEA. It was a satisfying conclusion to all the hell they’d been through. Overall, this was a fantastic, unique take on the Cinderella story.

⚠️ Please view TW/CW before reading. This book is significantly darker than the first book in the duet. ⚠️

Seduce is book 2 in the Forbach Villain’s Duet by Jenn Bullard. It picks back up at the end of the first book Desire so it must be read in order.

“𝑴𝒚 𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝑺𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒂 𝑻𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒆, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑰 𝒂𝒎 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒂 𝒘𝒆𝒂𝒌, 𝒔𝒑𝒐𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒅 𝒘𝒐𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒏 𝒂 𝒈𝒊𝒍𝒅𝒆𝒅 𝒄𝒂𝒈𝒆. 𝑻𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒂 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝒊𝒔 𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒂 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒐𝒏, 𝒏𝒐 𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒚 𝒊𝒕 𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆.”



Silla, Grayson, & Isaac, along with the fcked up trio have been through hell and back since Cinder found them back at the reform camp. Now they are more different then before and forever trauma bonded and have to work through this throughout the whole book. I really enjoyed how Silla became confident in knowing and voicing what she wanted in her s*xual desires!

New characters are brought in and new relationships are formed between the group but I think they all work good together.

This book is way darker and has more triggers than the first book Desire had so make sure to check out the warnings. I enjoyed the book but I felt it could have been shorter with a few less details. Either way I think it would have been good! It had plenty of spicy scenes so if you like smut you won’t be disappointed.

I really enjoyed this duet & I’m so glad that everyone got their happily ever after in the end! I will recommend these books to anyone who likes spicy dark romance with suspense and many twists and turns.

The question is will Cinder remain the Queen or will the group be able to take her down?!

”𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒄𝒕, 𝒌𝒊𝒍𝒍, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒅𝒂𝒎𝒏 𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒊𝒍𝒚 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒂𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒓. 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒏𝒔.”

This book is exactly why I love Jenn's writing. You know fine well going in to any book by her that you are going to be introduced to some amazingly great, and some amazingly bad, characters and be swept away on their traumatic journey to finding their HEA. My reaction to the end of the first book, Desire, made clear how unhappy I was to be left on the cliff. Without spoiling too much, it is safe to say that Jenn continues to dangle you from that cliff for a good portion of the book, sometimes fake dropping you so she can laugh at your emotional turmoil before pulling you up and making everything ok again.

We left our merry gang with the evil Cinder having imprisoned them with no positive outcome in sight. To say they go through hell in the dungeons is an understatement. The men and Andrya are back at the reform camp worried about Silla who they fear is dead, only for her to show up looking very eerily not like herself. With a mission from Cinder to infiltrate the underground and take them out Silla and her lovers decide to take matters in to their own hands for the good of all the people, but will they be sucessful?

I cannot recommend this duet enough. The beauty of Jenn's writing is that she writes dark romance that is dark for a reason and the triggering subjects are no haphazardly dealt with for shock value. Instead, a lot of the tragic events that befall Silla, Andrya and her men are implied or referred to off page. To me, this only deepens the emotional impact and made me root for them even more.

But on to the good stuff, the scenes! When I say have a spare set of panties handy ladies I mean it, talk about hot stuff. This group of 6....or is it 6? I would gladly join if they would have me!

I could NOT wait to read this. Book 1 leaves you at such a cliff hanger that literally threatens to rip your heart out of your chest.
Time has now passed since Cinder made her unannounced arrival and she's just been unleashing Hades on everyone Silla cares about. My heart wept for them. And Cinder is just getting even more twisted! Not only has this queen broken down her beloveds until they're essentially a shell of themselves, but she's also been hard at work with changing the one person who put up the most fight against her: Silla.
When everyone collides again, she is a puppet on strings trying to keep a mad woman appeased to avoid further punishment. Silla is sent to the facility with a request that will literally decide the fates of everyone involved.
I was literally on the edge of my seat as they fight to move forward TOGETHER despite Cinder's overwhelming need to control her sister. While the mad queen wants the danger against her taken out, fate has its own agenda. The next twist to this tale? A mysterious underground movement that seeks to remove the mad woman from the throne.
This book is intense. It is steamy. And I was rooting for Silla and her beloveds the entire way. Especially a surprise one ;)
SUCH an amazing book and I very much recommend!! I hope to see future projects from this world one day!

Whew! This seres/duet has quickly rose to be one of my favorites!
The plot and storyline of this unique Cinderella retelling is simply untouchable- jenn has a way with her words an story telling , it’s like you get transported right into the book alongside the characters! Though out this duet I have fell in love, had my heart broken a shattered, and then came to heal and repair it once again.
This final part of the duet gets eerily dark, a very gritty- Silla is put through the wringer, and fights with every fiber of her being to appease while overcoming her evil sister, Cinder. At times I didn’t know how this was going to go, if we would even see a HEA, and Silla getting back to her loves- Grayson , Issac, Andrea , Ayden & Sid. Through tears an heart break I held out faith, kept pushing through, until we finally see the light at the end of the tunnel- that is Silla and her harem back together and happy 💜
My therapist will be working overtime with me after this one, thank you Jenn!
Do yourself a favor and if you haven’t already read book 1, dive into this very dark, why choose(w MM & FF) top tier smut duet that will have you on a roller coaster of emotions, but at the end - will all have been more than worth it! 💜✌🏼🫶🏼

Epicastic Cinderella’s step-sister retellings duet

Seduce by Jenn Bullard Book 2 in Forbach Villain's Duet

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌶🌶🌶🌶☠️☠️☠️☠️

A definite new favourite. Exceptionally intense read with the spice right on point, bringing light to the dark.
Silla finds herself in a gilded cage, surrounded by madness and cruelty. The year of t0rtur3 might give Cinder the impression that Silla is brought to heel, but she absolutely underestimate Silla's love for her chosen family.
Grayson 'daddy' of the group, gathers Andrya, Ayden, Isaac and Sidney together, mourning the loss of Silla.
A beautiful family is built on the love of one. They band together on Cinder's new mission to eliminate the rebellion against her. Kenzo brings a very different dynamic to the polyamours relationship and they are determined to keep him.
Mass poisoning, revenge k!lings and collateral damage turns Seduce into a pageturning seduction of your senses and destroyer of panties.
Yet, again Jenn Bullard brought an unputdownable series. A big favourite of mine.
Large harem with FF and MM. Poly relationship. Primal kink. Breeding. Found family. Forced Proximity. HEA. Light dom/Sub. Growly alpha men with big 🍆 energy. Strong FMC characters. Trigger warnings ⚠️

This. Book.

Minor spoilers ahead.

Jenn is definitely not afraid to “go there” in a book.
AIt’s sometimes makes you want to throw your book but there is always redemption and it is always oh so sweet. I also always know with her it’s going to be an original and epic ride to the very end…..Silla. I can’t even begin to describe the things she went through and how devastated I was for her and for her found family. Them having to listen to every torture would case me nightmares for life. Cinder and Lana. The only way to describe them would be f word up. They are both crazy. And I don’t mind a little crazy. But they take the cake. Not sorry to see them go but the getting there is… wow. What I love about Jenn’s reverse harem books is you really get to know each character. Some books you feel like one in the harem takes precedence over another or you just really don’t get to know some. Jenn fully rounds out each character where you know a great deal about each to love them all. I especially loved seeing a different side of andrya in this book. I also loved that throwing in another player didn’t feel last minute or unnecessary. He fit and we got to know him as an individual and as part of the group. I need more Jenn! On to the next one!

Seduce is book 2 in the Forbach Villain's duet by Jenn Bullard. This is a fairytale retelling like none I have ever read! I couldn't wait to dive into this book after the way Desire (book 1) ended. I was not prepared for the emotional rollercoaster that Bullard put me through. I felt like she ripped my heart out and then slowly put it back together. I honestly couldn't put this book down because there were so many twists and surprises that I just needed to know how everything was going to work out.

I loved the characters in this book and weeks after finishing it, they are still in my head. I loved their struggles and relationship development. The way their stories were told made it so I could really understand everything they were going through. I honestly would love more of these characters! Typically, I always have a favorite but I just couldn't even begin to pick a favorite.

If you enjoy books packed with emotions, twists, and steamy scenes then you need to read this book right away. This book, really this duet, have been one of my favorites of this year! I can't wait to go back and reread this duet because it was just phenomenal. There are potential triggers so be sure to check the warnings.

Seduce was everything I had hoped for in the conclusion to this duet.

I couldn't help but fall even more for the characters. The character growth is fantastic. I loved seeing *certain* characters become better versions of themselves, even if only around select people. It goes to show just what having love and support can do for a person. The development of the different relationships within the group was written beautifully, and I couldn't help but root for every single one.

I don't want to give too much away, but our sneaky Jenn threw in quite the surprise for us in this one. My favorite part of the whole book was the introduction of a couple new characters. All I will say is that one of them became my favorite character in the duet.

We all know it wouldn't be a true Jenn Bullard book without the rollercoaster of emotions that she loves to put us through. This one had them all.. I laughed, I got angry, I got hot AF, and I cried. Boy did I cry. As we know, this is a book written by Jenn Bullard, so you know you better check the trigger warnings!!

Another epic ride by Jenn, and as usual I can't wait to see what she comes up with (or puts us through) next!

I absolutely adore dark fairytale retellings and this duet was excellent. Jenn is hands down one of my favorite authors and this was a really unique take on the traditional fairytale. Your emotions are going to go through the wringer with this one! I cried, a raged, I couldn’t breathe sometimes. There is heartbreak and angst but also super sweet moments and the spice…. Whew 🥵 You’re heart is going to get ripped out at one point but I promise by the end you will be smiling and wondering when you got so blöodthirsty. All of them really have a lot of growth in this book, and I loved seeing Drya and Silla get their confidence back.

This book has some dark topics, but also has some fantastically amazing spicy scenes!! The scene in the woods lives rent free in my mind. 🥵🥵 The witty banter is great, and I especially loved the nicknames they had for each other. Even dog boy 😂

When Jenn tells you that the second book is WORSE than the first, believe her. I was coddled into thinking that her second book wouldn't be as horrible, I was wrong.

Moving on, I absolutely LOVED this second book, even with everything that Silla had to go through, she transformed into such an amazing character. I loved the new relationships that are formed between the group, they all work so well together. Jenn does a great job of making sure the characters stay separate but not too far off where if she puts them together, it's awkward.

The fight at the end was so worth it, Silla was back together with the amazing group that loves her, as well as each other. It got super dark for a while but fighting through the heartache with Silla, Grayson, Issac, Andrea, Ayden & Sid. It's all worth it. Just when you want to quit, don't the light at the end of the tunnel will give you an amazing HEA.

Just double check tw/cw because this dark is darker than book 1. Still amazing, steamy, and everything we come to know and love in a Jenn Bullard book.

IM CRYING SO HARD RN 😭 😭😭

I don't even know where to start. I'm so happy with that ending it couldn't have ended more perfectly. They all deserve a happy ending and more and thats what they got.

There was a lot of stuff happening. A lot of ups and downs, a lot of emotions and traumas. Each and every one of the characters have a special place in my heart. They all went through so much and loved how they stuck together and helped each other heal. I feel like the healing was one of the main focus on this book and I loved the way it was written. Everyone dealt with their traumas differently but always had someone there for them. Everyone was so patient and full of love 🥺🥺🫶🏼

We got introduced to a new man and I absolutely love him. He fit right in with everyone and like everyone else he treats Silla like a Queen.

Definitely recommend this one but have tissues handy cause ur gonna need them.1

And They All Lived Happily Ever After....Or Did They? 🤔

A Forbach Villain's Duet is a retelling of sorts. In this duet we get Drizella Tremaine's POV. It is most definitely a different take on a classic. This book has some extremely dark topics and is super spicy. Buckle Up Buttercup cause the Cliffhanger Pixie (Jenn Bullard) is going to take you on a wild ride. I don't want to give anything away so I will say this, I loved the duet. Some characters had some real trauma and you truly felt their pain. This book was longer than the first but there was so much trauma to heal from, I think it worked out well and wasn't rushed. We do get to meet a new member of the harem in book 2 that I wish we met sooner and enjoyed more time with him. Overall, I enjoyed this duet and will probably be purchasing the paperbacks so I can re-read them. Those covers 😍😍😍😍😍😍

Holy Shit that was a great book! 😳

First off Grayson is my absolute favorite 🥰

In this book we get more in depth of Silla’s life after she was taken but the evil Cinder. All the others as well have been tortured I liked how it’s multiple POVS in each chapter you get more then on POV it’s such a nice touch to see everyone’s point of view.

Adyen and Andrya (I think I spelt them right) they’re the twins and both very protective of each other and the ones they love.

Sydney is also protective of them all and would do anything for each of them regardless of the consequences.

Isaac he’s another favorite character he’s such a protective bear when it comes to anyone in the bunch. He’s also very helpful 😏

Grayson ugh I love his character such a big bear but also a bit of a Dom in ways. He’s so good to Silla from the first time he meets her in book one. His relationship will Drya changes in this book an I’m all for it.

Kenzo he had his heart broken but it’s made him stronger and more protective of the ones he loves. You’re gonna love him he will also make tear come to your eyes so have those tissues handy.

Oh an I suggest to not drink liquids while reading Jenn is known for her hilarious one liners an we wouldn’t want you to choke.

An if you like pierced peens then you’ll definitely like these guys 😏

All in all remember this is a Cinderella retelling BUT it’s about the stepsister NOT Cinderella. It’s also a very dark reverse harem. So please check the trigger warnings before you read of any of them are yours that’s fine we all have to read books that are not bad for your mental health BUT if you use trigger warnings as a shopping list as I do jump right in you’re gonna love this duet 😉

✨ARC Book Review✨

“Life is short, enjoy the kinky side of life.”

I absolutely loved the first book Desire and I knew that this book would be just as good! And it was! I couldn’t put it down!

Lots of stuff happened in this book but everything worked out by the end. Lots of twists and turns that I didn’t expect but made the book that much better!

Also while reading this I has a major freak out because I shared a name a nickname with a new character that I absolutely loved! (Kenzo is my new fav!) I have never seen a character with this name before so when I saw it I was so excited!

This book tells us how our group handles being held by Cinder. We get way more Cinder in this book so we can see all of her crazy. We even get to see Prince Charming in this one.

Since they were held by the guards, it is to be expected that it gets pretty dark so make sure to check your triggers, please.

The storyline wasn’t what I expected. I had hoped for more intrigue and espionage considering the situation, but it was rather light on that aspect. The sexy times were a bit drawn out and frequent considering they didn’t have a lot of time. I liked the new characters, but one of them seemed to change personalities which was a bit off putting.

All in all, I think I liked the first book better. This does wrap up the story, and we get to see a happily ever after for our group.

Blurb: I thought I had outsmarted my sister, but she has spies everywhere. Now I'm deep in the pits of despair, with no way to escape. Cinder knows just how to strip away the sunlight and happiness until there's nothing left. Seduce is book 2 in A Forbach Villain duet, and is a dark Cinderella's stepsister retelling with FF and MM. If you don't like this, then this isn't the duet for you.

I must say Jenn you knocked this series right out of the park and if I could u would give you 10 stars. I loved the plot, I loved he characters I loved everything about this series, I never knew I could fall in love with a character so much but I have. 5is book kept me hooked from start to finish and I can’t wait to read more!!!!!!

Jenn did it again this was booked two that took off full throttle from where Book one ended. The trauma that these characters, inflict crazy cinder, and the dysfunctional charming lead to very dark situation. Please read the triggers. I’d love the relationship building that this polyamorous group goes through to heal from their torture, physical abuse and sexual abuse as they learn to love and move forward the compassion And acceptance to ensure the group has what it needs is fantastic the spice and group situations… Keep you turning the pages for more true author style. She sizzles the pages and leaves you going “did that just happen I have to reread that “. Get through there venture without some scars and loss, but there are some great deep emotional journeys in the second book.

Sometimes you read a book, in this case, a duet that just leaves you speechless in many ways. A Fobach Villian's Duet was one for me. This duet is dark, read the trigger warnings, please, mental health isn't a joke, so protect yours always.

HEA's are worked for, they don't come easy, and are they worth it if you didn't fight to almost your last breath for them? I am sitting here, tissues nearby because this one hurt at times. There is loss, there is joy, but most of all, there is HEART in this book.

I loved Silla and her family, yes, they are a family. From the craziest of them to the ones that get adopted. Revelations for days in this one. These characters ran through the fire, they were burned, but they WILL heal. Nearly 500 pages, Jenn's soul is on these pages.

Seduce is the second book in the Forbach Villains duet by Jenn Bullard.

💜 strong FMC
💜 why choose
💜 mysteries
💜 HEA
💜 🌶🌶🌶🌶 spicy spice

We pick up in this book months in the future from where the first book left off. Cinder not only ambushed and drug Silla to the castle, but the rest of the crew too. Will Silla be able to escape? Will she be able to live a normal life? Will she see the group that adores?

This was a wonderful conclusion to the duet, but one heck of a rollercoaster ride. There’s so much drama, healing, twist, turns, oh and spice. Lots and lots of spicy time. You think you know how this story will end? Nope. No you don’t. But enjoy the ride and keep your legs and arms in at all times because it will be a bumpy and dangerous ride. But oh so worth it.

Well, this book starts by ripping your heart out from the get-go. I was barely into the story and had tears in my eyes. Be mindful of triggers because this book was dark.

Silla and her loved ones have been through hell. It's not over, though, not with her psycho sister as queen. Now, they have to work to outsmart her without getting more hurt in the process.

Jenn Bullard has firmly established herself as one of my favorite authors. How could she not? I go through a rollercoaster of emotions with every single one of her books. The endings, though, are always my favorite. After the hell the characters go through, there is HEA. This duet was absolutely one of my favorites of the year.

Oh, the first book ripped my heart out with that last cliffhanger, any I could not wait to see what happened to Silla and her harem. I knew it was going to hurt but damm watching how they all dealt with their trauma and hurt. Also adding a new member to the group oh it was just perfect balance to the dark and rough edges of the original twisted trio. I will say it was a very satisfying HEA but oh did we have to go through some dark times.
Make sure to check tour triggers as this is alot darker than the first!
Jenn you are a master of ripping us apart and then bring us back together! I can't wait forbthe next book from you!
