Review: A Sweet, Long-awaited Sequel
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 05 27, 2013
4.5 stars.I'm a huge fan of the first book Beauty Touched Beast (it is in fact my favorite novella of all time), so I was thrilled that the author decided to continue the story of Erin and Blake. This novella picks up a few weeks after then end of BTB, and Blake has reluctantly accepted another teaching position at the university...and that leads to the introduction of an ex-girlfriend from Blake's past.Both characters have deep-set insecurities and Erin also has trust issues, but...especially considering how short these novellas are...it's nice to see that Skye Warren didn't keep the focus entirely on the angst, but more on the beautiful relationship between our two main characters. The ending of this, much like the ending of the first novella, was sweet and very touching. The only thing that prevented me from giving this a five star rating was the extremely over-used 'ex-girlfriend wants her man back' aspect. Otherwise this was a great first step in the continuation of Blake and Erin's story.
