Holy hell, my stomach was in knots for this read!! I’m going to warn you, if you haven’t read the first session there WILL BE SPOILERS in this review, so stop reading!!Okay, so Willow is fully immersed in her life as Sage now, living the lie and drowning in it on a daily basis.  I was stressed FOR her as she tried to juggle living as Sage to be with Ebon and still having to maintain her normal ‘Willow life’ both with him and for her own basic routine.  Willow was stressed and stretched to the max as she tried to hold onto this bliss that she has with the man she’s falling so hard for, but it’s like she’s trying to hold onto a broken glass that keeps losing it’s pieces.  She’s losing her heart to Ebon, and she’s desperately trying to keep the lie going just because the idea of not having him, whether it’s as Sage or herself, is unbearable.  As easy as it would be to judge her and say what she’s doing is completely wrong, at the same time, it’s clear that Ebon is falling for Willow, not Sage.  Even as she pretends to be her sister, Willow comes to the surface whenever they are together, and that’s what Ebon is starting to open up his heart to.Ebon opens up to Willow’s Sage on deeper levels this time around, and the moments they shared went from entirely sweet and tender to smoking hot steamy…and I loved it!! They feed off of each other’s needs perfectly, so the chemistry was once again off the charts, but they also shared parts of themselves that made their connection so much more than a superficial attraction. I can only hope that when the s*** hits the fan, Ebon remembers all of this!!Willow as herself had a much less pronounced role in this second session, what with Sage out of the picture and Ebon spending so much time with Willow’s version of her.  As Ebon’s feelings are growing deeper for this new Sage, who he thinks he’s just underestimated, Willow finds herself feeling less and less connected to him unless she’s playing her sister, and it was tearing her to pieces.  Honestly, I think I’m going to have an ulcer by the time this series is finished, because I’m so nervous and unsettled for this woman it’s maddening!!  And with a jaw-dropping cliffhanger that had me pulling my hair out, I’m now bracing myself for some heart-wrenching moments ahead!Quotes:Somewhere deep in the bottom of my soul, it bothers me that lies seem to be coming to me more quickly now. ~Loc 116But God help me, I can’t stop.  I can’t give him up. Not yet. I need my Ebon fix for as long as I can have it.  I’m addicted.  Shamelessly, irrevocably addicted. ~Loc 428When he finally lowers his lips to mine, the kiss is different.  It’s soft and tender, reverent and pure.  It feels like the tears that are spilling down my cheeks.  It feels warm yet cool, bitter yet sweet. It feels like the beginning, but also the end. ~Loc 818
