This time around we get Jace's story. If I'm bring honest, I liked Jace better than I did Jaxon, even in the first book. We also get a better understanding of Audrey, the misunderstood vixen in Jaxon and Emerson's story.
Audrey has had a rough life: enduring an abusive father, abandoned by her mother, and getting pregnant and married while in high school. Now she is attending the same school as Jace and trying to find a way into his life. Jace is haunted by fleeting memories of his brief time with Audrey. He wants her, has wanted her for four years. He faces some other melodrama in his life that also puts a hitch in his wagon. Somehow, circumstance presents roadblocks in their journey to be together and these two have to figure out a way to get past all of the nonsense. All of the characters from the first book are back and they either make trouble or just join in in the fun.
Plus we get to meet Audrey's new companion Lane, a rather large and sexy man whore.
Once again Kimberly Lauren presents the hooker with a heart of gold heroine for readers to judge and the holier-than-thou Riley brothers to redeem her. Audrey is back but we find out that she made mistakes and doesn't want to apologize as much as she just wants to get her story out there so they'll stop judging her. Jace is still the sexy, intelligent twin but makes the same mistakes his brother did by not trusting the people around him for guidance. He does reveal a dominant side that I am all for hearing more about. I love that he knows how much Audrey wants him to take control and does so with a smile. When we're not dealing with the theatrical guilty feelings, we get to enjoy some pretty hot rendezvous between these two. The story dragged at times and I put my reader down more times than I care to admit. Another bright spot in the story is Emerson is still around and she is funnier than ever. She has a few more one-liners in this story than she did in her own. She is still slutty in a fun-loving way but her comedic relief takes away from the drama of so much history between Jace and Audrey. Admittedly, I was not as enamored with this book as I was the first but it is still enjoyable and I'm looking forward to Lane's story and discovering what secrets he's been keeping.
