Review: Not as good as the first, weary the series may become a soap opera.

I did not enjoy this book as well as I did the first in the series. When I purchased "Assets" I fell hard for both characters. The relationship between them was steamy and believable. In this book Bailey leaves Kalen and goes back home where she runs into her past, hot hunky Turner who still loves her. Torn between the first love she left behind and the man she desires who sent her away Bailey must not only come to terms with her feelings but deal with the changes that have happened in her absence. While I liked Turner I didn't feel the hot chemistry between them like I did with her and Kalen. The relationship felt forced as if the writer wanted us to hope Bailey would chose the safe and steady Turner over Kalen. When Kalen turns up Bailey is forced to make a choice and while the writer tries to keep you guessing the choice is obvious and a let down.While I enjoy series and Ms. Dermott ends both books in the series with a cliff hanger I wonder how many more books she will write in this series. I have seen a recent trend where writers create these novella's and continue to string the readers along in endless sequels. Hopefully Ms. Dermott does not fall prey to this type of writing because I do believe she is a talented writer and thoroughly enjoyed the first book of this series. This book just seemed like a bridge to the next and the depth was lacking.
