I am LOVING this Fueled by Lust series.  Drusus started off with a bang (quite literally), Severus has more of a gentle build up.  This is because Cassie and Severus have already met and spent some time together, thereby negating the need for a quick pesky 'get-to-know-you' session.  Cassie is already attracted to Severus although she's been trying to put him off as she thinks he is too good for her.  Severus already knows that Cassie is something special but refuses to think that it could be anything else and he's too damn stubborn to put his necklace on.  Yeesh, that man had me shouting at my kindle!Cassie has been through the mill and found a wonderful and true friend in Lina, the likes of which you look after and treasure, if you're smart which Cassie is.  Seeing Lina with Drusus makes Cassie yearn for the same thing but is convinced that with all the baggage she carries no one will be good enough - or too good.I won't give away any spoilers but I will say this - one thing I really loved about this story was Marcus.  He is Cassie's ex-boyfriend, the one she mentioned at the beginning of Drusus.  He could have been a real 'nasty' character but instead Celeste turned him into a likeable, heartfelt hero who, although I wanted Severus and Cassie to be together, I now want Marcus to get his HEA too.This book has everything you could wish for - amazing characters, wit and humour all the way through, a 'baddie' that you may or may not see coming but even if you do, you won't care as the story is that good, and steamy scenes that are "out of this world" (sorry, I couldn't resist!).Book 1 was brilliant and I really enjoyed it.  Book 2 stepped up to the bar, ordered a double and raised it.  I can't wait for Cato's story.
