Review: Good personal growth for Sydney...

I enjoyed this installment but not as much as the first one. The overall storyline was Sydney’s personal growth and while I enjoyed that and thought it was necessary, I needed more. More plot, more chemistry, more questions answered. (i.e. why does Drew hate Adam so much? -- Drew had a hatred for him before Sydney, so it can’t be solely because of her).I can’t put my finger on why exactly but I didn’t feel chemistry between Drew and Sydney. I don’t dislike Drew but at the same time I don’t feel it with him. I was actually intrigued to see where the Oliver storyline was going to go and sort of hoping it would go somewhere (which is not like me). To me, Drew comes across as a little controlling (getting angry whenever Sydney talks to a male, making her stay in the hotel room). It's rationalized away that he likes to be in control and is scared of something happening to her, but there's a difference between normal, proactive behavior (hiring bodyguards) than being over the top (freaking out anytime a guy looks at her).I was happily anticipating the reunion between Sydney and her father, but that isn’t included in this book which bummed me out.I’m looking forward to the third book, but I hope it does have more answers and a more level-headed Drew.
