This is book2 in the Bonded by Love series, and you really do need to read book 1, Caressa's Homecoming to get the full enjoyment of this one. You need to know how they all came together to be at Cole's. I enjoyed that book.
I enjoyed this book too, but I have feelings about this book (they are pesky, those darn book feelings!) and I'm not sure I can get them all out.
I was expecting some more of a certain sort of smexy time, given Caressa's discovery at the end of the last book, and we don't get any, none at all! Mind you, Cole's is laid up for most of the book, given his leg injury in the last book and what happens here, but still. So, I'm a bit miffed about that!
Also, I felt the epilogue was a little flat. Given what happened to Caressa that caused her to run away for 5 years, then the revelation of that fact, I thought she'd be a little more angsty about it!
Again, though, I'm not feeling the EMOTIONAL connection very much with these three, and I do feel (I told you, pesky book feelings!) there should be another book, to ties some things up in a nice fat bow.
But I get to read Donovan next, and I look forward to getting into his *certain sort of smexy time* head.

*insert big sigh*
I ....struggled with this book, for a couple of reasons, and it was very touch and go as to whether I would finish it.
First person, single point of view is not one of my favourite ways for a book to be written and only Alix has a here. Matt really should have been given a voice, I think, even if he had been given a first person voice, I would have enjoyed it more.
It could do with a thorough edit. Not enough minor things to put you off reading, but enough of them for me to note they were there and they needed commenting on.
Somewhat predictable plot. I saw it all coming at me. Every twist and turn. Maybe I read too much, but there were no surprises in this book for me.
BUT!!!
Even though only Alix gets a voice, I did like her. Because only she speaks we get up front and personal with her every step of the way. I really felt for her in places. She is very witty and there are a couple of laugh out loud moments.
And BECAUSE I saw it all coming at me like a freight train, I liked watching it all unfold.
I just. . . . . I dunno!
I'm sorry I can't word better what I think about this book, you know it pains me so when I can't say what I need to!
Will I read book 2? Possibly. The blurb will have to really REALLY grab me.
