* * * * * 5 Star Review
Nora Young and Cole Ryan had a great relationship and their sex is amazing. Yet Nora feels that something is bothering Cole and he is not wanting to share with her. He keeps pushing her away from his problems but she has made it a mission to find out and help him.
Cole Ryan knew Nora or Young like he calls her, was the woman of his dreams but he knew that he couldn't give her 100% of himself. Especially since those urges were keeping him from being honest with her. Ryan knew that once he confessed to her he would lose her forever and he couldn't imagine his life without her.
After Nora's ex comes back to her life and Ryan's distant actions towards her, Young is having a hard time dealing with everything and her mind starts to wonder and her insecurities start showing up.
Can Ryan and Young revive their love to how they used to be or will this be the end of their love affair?
I was left in aw, for me this is the hottest story by far. Between the hot sex scenes and the hint of suspense this is a book you don't want to miss.

This sequel was very much like the first book. A nice continuation of the story and a perfect ending. But I couldn't rate it higher than 3 stars. The sex scenes became boring and borderline boring.Same words, same scene. I would have enjoyed more story and more drama. The angst was forced and too obvious.

I loved the book well both books actually, but I want more. I want to know how everything turned out and her adventures in law school and his in his new field. is there any way you can write another book that includes more fantasies and a beautiful romantic engagement then an epilogue at the end that describes their wedding. that would really finish this story off.

Terrible sequel
I was so excited after reading the first book, but I gotta say that this one was a true let down. There was no fire and excitement like the 1st one and the ending completely sucked! Please don't waste your money.
