Review: Challenge yourselves

*WARNING! SPOILERS! They are minor, but still!Ok so Tease was pretty light-hearted and now we have book 2, Promiscuous, and the tone is holy hell a lot darker. I'm warning y'all there's a rape scene and it is brutal to get through. Despite the dark direction this series is taking (and I'm totally betting on some menage action...or at least Roman watching) I weirdly like where this is going. It's really out of my realm, but I think Missy likes to challenge readers sexual perspectives by introducing us to characters that are unapologetically adventurous. That being said she handles these scenes without it coming off as crass...or at least I think so.When we first met Beth I knew there was more to her than meets the eye. I was intrigued by her and when she came on the page with Coop there was this desperate sadness and loneliness about her that made me empathize with her character. I was really excited when I found out book 2 was about her and then I was greedy to get my hands on it when the blurb came out. She was a woman burned by life and she was ready to scorch the Earth with her pain. But then she meets Roman and he just wants to be her rock. I don't know what everyone's opinion is about Roman considering he's keeping some major things from her, but damn I loved him. I mean sure, he has a bit of a hero complex and maybe she's drawn to him because she's got some daddy issues but who the hell cares?! He's such a caring man and his sex life is damn hot. I'm picking up what you're putting down, Mr. Hale!The book ends with a bit of a cliffhanger and I'm very excited to see where Missy will take us in book 3. Especially since Coop mentioned some interesting things about his feelings concerning Mia and Beth. And can I just say that I always felt a little lukewarm about Mia? I never felt she was that developed in book 1...and I'm starting to think maybe that was on purpose! Unless I'm waaaay off in which I'm sorry for all the conspiracy theories peeps! Been watching A LOT of Criminal Minds lately ;)If you loved book 1, I think you'll really enjoy this installment! Fully recommended for those with an open mind! *ARC provided in exchange for honest review!*
