I waited patiently for the first one, absolutely loved it..... couldn't hardly wait for the second one. I was really excited when I realized it was the 31st and I could read this book.I have to say, there are some aspects of the book that I thought were better than the first, and some that were not so much. I think I kind of liked Daniel a little more than David, there is something to be said about a " HUGE, muscular, rough, tattooed" looking man. The story picked up a little before the end of the last book (before the epilogue), based on Melia and David's wedding. Melia's BFF Claire comes for the wedding and is instantly attracted to Daniel, David's brother and vise versa. Daniel denies her cause he thinks he is too rough, mean for her... she in turn, acts bratty towards him. Drug dealers, and other stuff, decent action that I will not spoiler alert.Overall, I did love the book! I did have issues with the book thoughFirst, Claire: She was bratty and immature. I just couldn't see a harden guy like Daniel getting down with someone like her. In the end, I was OK with it. But, I did struggle with it...a lot!!!!!Secondly: the last 20% of the book was a lot like the first, and it felt a little repetitive.Lastly: Pele and Kanaloa, their dialogue was horrible. They are gods, and their conversations were elementary, and really quick. I really don't want that aspect of books to be drawn out. BUT, the conclusion that involves them is so brief and not really interesting, I found myself skimming that part. It could have something to do with it being a lot like the first book.I gave the first book 5 stars, and this one 4-4.5!! I really wanted to give it a 5 but couldn't!!!! Please do not let this review stop you from reading this book. I really did enjoy it, and can see myself reading it again (while waiting patiently for book 3)!!!!!!! Please let there be a book 3!!!!
