I'm always a little bit torn when reading the second book in a series, especially when you love it as much as I loved the first book in the Dark Secret Series. There is that feeling of excitement, but also there is a bit of trepidation as to whether it will live up to the lofty heights that you've set!! Well, there was absolutely no need for any of that worry with The Knight of the Rose!! It was all that and more!! I'm convinced that A.M. Hudson writes just for me!! She has a list of all the things that I love in a book and checks all of them off that list as she magically weaves them throughout her stories!!This book elicited a whole different set of emotions compared to Tears of the Broken. Pain, suffering, heartache, loss!! It gripped my heart and squeezed it, then let go and let me breathe, only to grip it even harder and squeeze again!! I had an internal monologue with the characters happening the whole way throughout the book as I begged them to make the choices that I wanted them to make! And that kept me turning the pages late into the night so that I could find out if they had gone in the direction that I wanted them to!We see a lot more of Mike in this book and get to know him fairly well. I love him for the support he gives to Ara throughout all the of the events that pull and tug at her as they threaten to pull her under. He is sweet, caring, loving, supportive, protective... Everything you really want in a man!! But I am 110% team DAVID!!!! He is everything that Mike is and more!! So much more!! He is the one who has my heart!!When I got to the end of this book, I sat there stunned!! NO!!! NO!! NO!!!! You can't end it there!! Not like that!! Ms Hudson, are you trying to kill me?? That's what the wait for book 3 is going to do!! I'm worried!! I am so damn worried about what's going to happen next!! Please tell me that the wait is not too long!!Gripping, intense and full of suspense and drama!! The Knight of the Rose is a must read!!
