And the Layla, Jared, and Ollie saga continues. And this book stayed pretty consistent. Layla is still torn. When she's with one, she's thinking about the other. She loves them both for different reasons. Jared is a challenge and fullfills all of her sexual desires. BUT, he's too secretive and way too possessive. It's always a double standard with him. She just can't trust him. But, she cannot deny the intensity they share with one another. Then, there's Ollie. Ollie understands her. They were initially attracted to one another. They became friends first. Then, became lovers. The problem with Ollie is simple. He's not a challenge for Layla. He'll always put her first and compromise to keep her with him. He's Layla's security blanket. So where's the challenge in that? So after book one, we learn she chooses Jared(which I thought was the right choice). They start their relationship on a, "let's get to know each other again" bases. And they seem to be ok. But guess what? Layla continues to think about Ollie. And, Jared continues to act too possessive and controlling. Layla is beginning to question whether this is the kind of man and life she really wants. She misses her freedom. And if she stays with Jared she knows she won't have any of it any more. Is their sexual intensity really worth all of this? HMMMM. Then there's Ollie. I love Ollie in this book. He actually gets a backbone! He finally puts Layla in her place. He's not taking any more of her crap. Screw that! He's hurt and bitter and I love it. She can't just run back to him and everything will be ok. No, he's not going to let her take advantage of him anymore. YOU GO BOY!  :-)  But, towards the end, the storyline became a little too repetitive and rushed. I felt the actions of one of the guys was not cutting it. The author used that as an excuse to put the nail in the coffin to finally make Layla choose. And to me, I wasn't buying it. If he loved her THAT much (like we were lead to believe), he would never of done that. I'm not buying it. And finally, the ending and the cliffhanger? Didn't like it. But, I will definitely buy the next book. I'd like to know how this story ends. Will Layla finally find happiness in only one ? HMMMMMM????
