I will begin by saying that I love that Elizabeth may never cease to amaze us the readers with her dramatic use of words. It creates a vivid and dramatic visual to play out the scene in your mind. I truly enjoy reading her work.This book has picked up where we left off. The world of Johnny Gellis and Norman Dimond had collided in book one. Johnny is still recovering from leaving his old life and problems behind. Norman still feels the need to help him rebuild but his true agenda may still be for his own benefit. These men are continuing to grow and with each chapter a layer of their lives and indiscretions is revealed. I realized that Johnny was a tortured soul but I had no idea that his family had such deep rooted secrets to be revealed. This has now put so many questions to rest but unfortunately has unearthed too many new ones. To say I was surprised is truly an understatement. It was as though each new door opened revealed an answer but made you ask so many more questions!Johnny's parents have now come into play and have begun searching for him. Mr. Gellis appears on Norman's doorstep and attempts to sway Johnny's decisions. His visit does nothing of the sort except to infuriate Johnny and push his physical and emotional boundaries. The recovery process for Johnny has been tedious but over the past several weeks he has grown stronger. Norman still wants to make the rules and have everyone play by them but the game is slowly changing. Johnny is now beginning to show you the reader who the true alpha male is. He has now begun to slowly digest everything that has happen over the past several weeks and has made quite the self discovery! The tables have turned and it surprises no one more than Norman!I do not want to spoil it for you the avid reader but holy hell this is still quite a ride that Elizabeth is taking us on! I am intrigued to see where the third book will take us!
