I loved Desperation Of Love by Alice just as much as the first one.  I really have a special place in my heart for Victor.  Alex is different from Victor in the way that makes me want to get to know him.  Jordan on the other hand needs someone like Alex in her life.  She needs someone who is going to want to be with her unconditionally.  Alex definitely was proven to be patient, kind, and loving.  He was perfect in every way.  I didn't want to put this book down.  If I could of read it in one sitting I would have.Jordan is Ellie's best friend from the fist book Desperation of Love.  She is very skittish when it comes to long term relationships.  Alex is Victor's brother and he is an all around good guy.  He does what is asked of him and never complains.  His mother has treated him badly always putting Victor's career above him.  Jordan and Alex are friends.  When Alex moves to town because he is venturing into producing with Victor.  Victor has quit performing and is concentrating on his happiness with Ellie.  Jordan and Alex are thrown together.  They are both family to Ellie and Victor.  Their relationship shifts after he moves to town.  Jordan is scared to pursue anything with him,  Ellie has made it clear she doesn't want to see Alex hurt.  Alex makes his own decisions and he likes Jordan.  He wants a relationship with her.  Unfortunately they agree to keep it a secret.  They are both hiding from more then the people who care for them the most.  There are family secrets and past hurts that are truly standing in the way of their happiness.Patience is what Alex has a lot of.  Jordan has it in her head that she is going to do something to ruin the relationship.  Her parents divorce has scared her from giving all of herself.  Alex knows this but whatever Jordan is willing to give he will take.  The feelings they share are genuine and he wants to make sure he gives them a real chance.  Jordan is so hung up on not being good enough for Alex.  I wish I could tell her you are and so much more.I enjoyed seeing more of Ellie and Victor.  They were a big part of the relationship between Alex and Jordan.  Their love and support was what a family should be.  Now there were some ups and downs during the book.  Not just between Alex and Jordan, but also the other characters.  A lot happens during the book.  Some things that happened I wasn't expecting.  I absolutely would recommend this book to you.  This series has proven fantastic.  I look forward to reading the next book.  Yes, I believe there will be another book involving Brooke and Ellie's brother.  So be sure to keep an eye out as this series continues.
