The first book was amazing so I didn't hesitate to purchase this, the 2nd book. I'm not dissatisfied, but I just wished there was more there. In my opinion, this installment focuses more on their relationship as a couple.  You get to know more of their inner workings and how Drake and Katie are still figuring each other out. There is still something huge that happens here and it's definitely a part of the series as a whole.  I worried how things would progress after the shocking news, but it was good.  I wish the author would have dabbed a little more into Drake's feelings on the matter at hand, but I guess that's just part of his personality portrayed throughout. The second installment immediately focuses on Kate and Drake's new adventure of traveling to and living in Africa for 6 months.  The book just continues to drag on that same topic of how Katherine thinks their relationship will be once they are finally in Africa living together as a couple.  Something happens that causes the trip to Africa to be  postponed and it just kind of dead-pans from there. Katie is worried about Drake, everyone is warning Katie that Drake is unstable, and as a reader, I'm waiting for Drake to go all psycho on her and confirm their suspicions.  Not saying it happens, you'll have to read it. Only other major problem I had was repetition.  I thought, if Kate/author describes one more time about how Drake positions Kate into his lap 'just like he did on the first night she was with him in the apartment' or how his damn eyelashes clumped together after a shower, I was going to stop reading this. I didn't of course, but it was a major issue for me. In the end, I think the author did the readers justice to the slightly bland progression of the entire book. It made it worth it. Sort of. :) If you enjoyed the first and you get the 2nd book at a great price, I say go for reading it. I would have been pissed if I paid more for this book. I hate sounding all negative but I feel readers should know truth and not some of the over-the-top 5 star amazing reviews I read. I'm glad I read it. End of.
