OMG! OMG! I must have the next one, NOW! Things are so going to implode! This was wonderful!The whole Songbird gang is back in this epic love triangle. Riley is deployed and off fighting for his counrty. Cole and Tara are still vollying back and forth, fighting thier feelings for each other.Tara is caught in a crap storm. Cole is her soulmate in every way. They are so compatible. She vowed to Riley that she would wait for him to return and agreed to marry him. I understand why she did this, as I understand why she will not break it off with him while he is fighting for his country. BUT she knew she had feelings for Cole and agreeing to marry Riley was always her second choice. Almost as if saying that since Cole is a manwhore, she will settle for Riley cause he will be faithful and true. You always have to fight for what you want! ALWAYS!Cole is a changed man, in some ways, he is in love with Tara and has changed his manwhore ways. He is a great friend, strong, reliable, and honest. He also has never been in an actual relationship and when his heart is broken he reacts very poorly. Cole's reaction is part of this book will anger many people and make the hate his character. We must remember that Cole is like a kid learning how to ride a bike. He will falter and fall but he will learn and change. His family has some serious secrets and he needs to grow a spine but I am curous what the future will hold.Riley is not a physical presence in this book, but he is a great presence. I do not like how he is kind of controlling. He doesn't want any part of Tara's money, nor does he want Tara to use it. He wants them to work as partners as they should, but does not treat her as his equal. Not as bad as her previous relationship but still not great. He should be supportive and understanding, not overbearing.This is a great second installment and I can't wait for the next book. There are twists and turns and the happy ending is far away. Sometimes when we follow our heart others hearts get stomped on in the process. All is fair in love and war. There is the love but I feel the war is about to start!
