This was interesting. I will definitely be going back to read the books before this one to get the other couples background stories. Already purchased them. What is fascinating is how much Kelly and Steve loved each other were good for each other and yet continually found ways to inadvertently hurt each other when doing things to protect each other or show their love. Take for example the contract, in order for steve not to hurt her he was a jackass. Full on complete douchebag jackass. Afterwards he began to thaw but she pulled back and that angered him he became a idiot and she withdrew. In his defense and I can't believe I am saying that, she didn't tell him things he needed to know. Than after all this pain and stupidity on both parts they begin again. Only this time the relationship was amazing and the sensual scenes smoked off the page.Now we're invested in these two and seeing them be energizer bunnies left and right in bed and having menage's alot. They fall for each other but are afraid to tell each other and trust one another. With their bodies they trust each other with other things meh not so much.They are happy things are going honky dory and again sizzling our pages when she does something that yes was because she cared but she had to know he would not be happy. He didn't talk to her about his past so her kicking the tumbleweed of his past behind his back. Yeah not good kimosabe not good. So she brings his past back to help him heal but guess what not happy camper is steve. Why? She first found things out about him without him telling her and than decided to confront him with it see very not good. He feels hurt and crushed by her lies and betrayal. Lies because he never told her where he was going or that he knew this part of his past and betrayal because when he said he didn't want to talk about it here we are having her bring that tumbleweed in. I see his point. Feel for him here until his rage turns him into a idiot but than again when your life sucked like his did in that past and those you thought respected you not wanting to talk about it go and dredge it up you will go bonkers. He just a little more than others. Overall he is a nice guy. I liked him more than Tony and Vic because he was more real. Flawed like the rest of us. Those two it was too perfect. To rosy.So now Kelly still can't let his past go and does a monumentally doofy thing and even Tony balked at it. This stirs up the wrong hornet's nest and puts her in danger. In comes the macho guys and have to make Steve see reality and now he is apologizing left and right. Poor guy. More revelations come about and we see these two again act silly.She doesn't tell him her feelings he holds back because of something she says and presto whammo we are back to the beginning folks. Finally Steve gets some sense and does what needed to be done so he can have his love back. That is the way the book ends though. we get a sad ending and are left hoping that Nikki comes out of this issue in tact. Tony will be devastated if she doesn't. That was one part of him I loved his love and devotion to her.A book on love and devotion. Support and friendship and never giving up. A smokin hot book of love scenes that will scorch your fingies at time with how hot they are. A good book that leaves you hanging and praying that nothing bad comes about.
