3.5 Stars. I liked the ending to this one even if it was a bit disturbing. Just like the last book, there is a lot of sex in this book - so much that I skimmed some of it. Where it was a bit more fresh in the first book before they had PIV sex, this book got pretty repetitious and I couldn't take reading the word "gushy" one more time. Gabriel has an unrecognized kink for car sex, I think.
The extremely long backstory info dump we get while Marcus is hanging upside down in the Jeep was ridiculous. Like the last book, this book is seriously in need of a competent editor and a diligent proofreader.
I'm on the fence hard about Marcus and I feel so bad for Gabriel and his mom.
I appreciated the side trip POV of Willow's Uncle Luke and her boy BFF's start of their affair. I hope they get a book. I don't know if the author intended for the internalized homophobia or if she harbors her own, but some of her BBF's thoughts were sad and disturbing. If they do get a book, I hope this changes.
I'm interested in Lochlan and Ragan. Moving onto their books.
