This second novel in the unconditional love series follows through on the gaps left in the first story. Some texts from the previous work is repeated and the sex scenes are over saturated. Rather not drag out a story withunnecessary sex scenes and let it flow gracefully. I find that LGBTQ romance novelists often uses this to extend the length of a novel. Quality is better than quantity...I find myself thinking "when is this novel going to end".The author uses and confuses the reader with heterosexist and perhaps heteronormative concepts of "choice" and "preference" whilst at the same time arguing that being QUEER is not a choice, and maintaining queers find themselves in a very hostile heterosexual world. These terms  smacks of internalised homophobia and are confusing to parents and young gay friendly people who are trying to understand the being-in- the world of LGBTQ loved ones when they try to inform themselves through stories. I found myself gritting my teeth reading passages with terms such as choice, sexual preference and gay life style choice. A person's homosexuality is an orientation as much as another person's heterosexuality is a sexual orientation. If authors are going to advocate for an understanding of queer equality, I recommend that they move away from mainstream heterosexist propaganda and expertise on homosexuality. True, queers find themselves in a very uninviting hostile world governed by heterosexuals. Writers ought to create narrative antidotes against the hostile world LGBT people find themselves a part of.
