This book is the sequel toBound by Deception, a book I loved very much. We meet Vincent and Oliver six months after the end of the previous book.Oliver has been loving Vincent for years and he finally has him, but he's not satisfied with their relationship. He wants something more than sex, he wants his love to be acknowledged by Vincent, he wants Vincent to reciprocate his feelings. He therefore stands up against Vincent and voices his emotion. It's something I would have never expected from Oliver or at least not from the Oliver of the previous book.Vincent is clearly surprised by Oliver and he has to face his own feelings. In this book, Vincent is not as cold as he was before, we get a better insight of his soul. There's an interesting parallel between Oliver's desire to please Vincent and Vincent's desire to please his father. Vincent's aloofness pushes Oliver away, Oliver that would do anything to please him. Vincent would do anything to please his father and he's constantly refused, his father intends to use him and discard him, with no recognition of his feelings.The strain in their relationship is an incentive for both to take their fate in their hands and face their responsibilities, but while the emotional but poor Oliver has to abandon his lazyness to make a more decent living, the rich but cold Vincent has to embrace his passion to become a better man.It's a great book, maybe it's just too short. I really liked the ending, it seemed very honest.
