3.5 starsIn this sequel toLove Without Borders, David and Jason are happy, in love and contemplating marriage. When Jason's act of heroism at work leads to tragedy, insecurities, pain and depression threaten to tear the couple apart.I really enjoyed this story. It was heart wrenching and powerful. I actually felt the emotions of the characters this time around, which is something I found difficult in the last book. Jason's shock and disbelief were portrayed realistically, and I truly feared that this couple wasn't going to make it. The biggest issue I had with this story was the Steven character. He seemed to be a good excuse for Jason to fall deeper into depression, but the storyline sort of fell flat in the end. One minute Steven was hitting on David, knowing full well that he loved Jason, but doesn't actually stop his predatory advances until David makes a grandiose declaration of commitment in Jason's presence. Why did he back off so quickly? Did seeing Jason in the flesh validate David's love in his mind?
