Review: Disappointed and confused

Having read Vol 1, I immediately bought Vol 2 hoping that it would follow much as the first. I was somewhat disappointed.I read "series" books all the time, but never before have I read one that "forces" you to buy another book in order to solve the "cliffhanger" left to you at the end of the just finished book. You expect these kind of "cliffhangers" in television series, but not in a book. If others are like me, waiting for another book after an ending leaving you hanging does not endear an author to their audience. They might buy the next to satisfy their curosity, but may hesitate to buy again from the same author.The central characters were the same: Alex, Mr. Billionaire and Jennifer, escaping to New York from Maine and her abusive or neglient parents. They were personal, but the "secrets" got a bit old to me.That said there's something intriguing about the two characters that kept me coming back, but, in my opinion, this book could do with a lot more story and a lot less sex and secrets. It leaves me with a ?? . . . did I like it, or did I not?? I much prefer a story with less sex and more character. Sex spices it up, but handled with a gentle hand makes it more palatable.I have pre-ordered Vol 3 due to be released next month and I'll read it hoping that it will answer all the questions this one presented. Unless it's pretty stellar, it will be the last I purchase from this author. I, for one, have now been forewarned about this author's penchant for "cliffhangers".
