He begins to wonder how he will be able to reconcile his physical relationship with his work - until Toya is unexpectedly assigned to work with a new author
3.5 stars Finally finished the second book. Well, I still didn't like both Toya and Hodaka. Both of their character development are really slow build and most of the sex scene makes me mad :( Full review after fourth book finished. I take a break to read other book before read third and last book.
3.5 stars Slow character development. But Katsura Izumi are quiet good to draw Toya's feeling and his work situation in editorial department. Full review in the fourth book. I will take a break and read another book before third and last series.
The series gets more interesting with the addition of a new character - of the third angle of this love triangle. Not that this character spends much time on the foreground, but his presence makes Toya's inner turmoil more complex and Hodaka's possessiveness more prominent, his feelings more tangled but at the same time clearer.
Further and more emotionally charged development of the story.
Still do not like the sex scenes, and the dirty talk really got in my nerves, and as always everything else was just perfect, this books was a roller coaster of emotions and I enjoyed everything.
