I started not to post since my post is mostly negative.  But as an avid reader, when I see a book with several stars I assume it is probably decent. In this instance, I wonder if the 5 star individuals were friends or just going through a romance drought.  This book was not good.  At best, it was ok!  After reading part one, (which was good), this book was a letdown.  It really didn't make sense!  I think the author was trying to ensure a sequel but made too many characters seem questionable and one-dimensional.  It had the making of a good story, but didn't reach its goal.  One reason was too much info causing it to drag and be boring at some points and not enough info at other points.  Information was also out of sequence. I had to skip an entire section which occurred after the climax of the story.  They went into great detail about what led them to her.  Who cares at this point?  This could have been condensed and maybe placed sequentially prior to climax.  I am also concerned about the degrading of this Black woman.  I don't know if the author is a black woman/white man or what.  I do know that I read these books for enjoyment and escape.  I don't want my fantasy having someone pee on me!  And don't say that you are trying to make it real.  This is not real!  When you (that's if you are black) get a chance to write your fantasy, why would you include your worst nightmare?  Nope!  Your fantasy typically includes you as beautiful and desirable.  Many want you, but your hero can't live without you.  You have obstacles in your romance, but in the end, love wins out.  That's the basic romance formula!  No racial degradation!  This book did not make me want to wait for book 3!
