I really loved the first book, Fighting Destiny, so I was excited to read the follow-up Taunting Destiny.  I got it and devoured it cause who needs sleep, right?I liked Taunting Destiny.  It had great sex scenes a la the first book.  Ryder, I mean, so alpha he sets your various body parts on fire!  I think he actually takes over this book.  While the series starts out as Synthia's story, we get more and more background on Ryder and the Fae and what is really happening behind closed doors.  Everyone is so devious and sneaky and oh the backstabbing!Taunting Destiny seemed to be missing something for me though.  I am not sure what it is, I will think on it and add to this review later.  I noted a lot of repeating words and phrases such as "growl or growling" and that became a little distracting. There was a lot of back and forth fighting and then sex. Fighting, sex. Repeat. Not much character growth until near the end, when the sh1t hits the fan and things are going south.  We then start to see different sides of the main characters that probably could have been shown much earlier in the book, IMO.With the cliffhanger ending, I definitely want to get the 3rd book (I HATE cliffhangers). If the momentum can be kept up, the next book is going to be great.
