When Jensen wasn’t prepared to commit to his fated mate, he let Ciel walk away, thinking he’d get over the human soon enough. But a year apart has proven that what he felt for Ciel went far beyond lust. He wants a second chance, and he’ll do anything to convince Ciel to give it to him.
Ciel thought he’d moved on, but when Jensen comes back begging for another chance, he finds it hard to deny the vampire. His heart’s been broken once, yet Ciel can’t make himself walk away from Jensen again. Will they be able to make it work, or will the pain of the past prove too much in the end?

Original Review 20 February 2016 Given what we learned about Ciel and Jensen in book 1, I anticipated that this would be significantly more angsty. And it was. The light, fun, escapist things I love about this world, though, were still there, though. Still lovely.
A very nice next book in the series. I like the way the society works in this setting (set in the future, but reads like historical), and I also enjoyed the characters. I look forward to the next book, which I hope is about Dax and Quinn!
