Rating: 4 out of 5

After the way Spark ended, I am not sure what to expect with this book.  I was not disappointed, well a little.  There were things I wanted to happen, which did, just not in the intensity I was hoping for.  I will not embellish on that because I will spoil it for you… Let’s just say, you will know what I am talking about when you read this.So, there wasn’t as much drama as the first book.  Now, that isn’t always a bad thing.  I will admit, I was looking for some, but not having it was okay.  This book is more about the struggle within Velaney to take what is hers and move on from her past… Only her past is haunting her more now than ever.  It is causing more heart ache than ever in areas of her life that she never thought could happen.  Secrets that she could never imagine come to light.  She is forced to make some really hard decisions.  Some I agreed with.  Some not so much.  Her past is controlling her future.  That’s always a no-no.  She is having a hard time coming to grips that not everything bad is all her fault.Eric, he is determined to help Velaney heal.  Only she won’t allow it.  She pushes him away and secludes herself.  He won’t give up.  Which we all applaud.  His heart and love is on the line.  He just needs Velaney to trust that he loves her unconditionally and that he will stop at nothing to protect her and love her.  He is struggling with the unknown.In this book, I was pretty disappointed with Velaney’s character in more than one part.  I will say, she vindicated herself.  She held her head high when it came to counting.  Her love for Eric is never ending, even if she decides to end their relationship.  Their hearts are one in this story.  It’s just the matter of them finally trusting one another and being willing to lean on the other in the times of need.
