Review: eXclave 2
Rating: 4 out of 5

I was surprised by the depth of emotion in this second book of the eXclave series. Once again there is an under lying current of BDSM but it is not the focus. The broken relationship between Amy and Mac is tragic in that they both truly love one another. Amy has fallen into the trap of hiding her wants, desires and her true self from Mac out of fear of losing him and in doing so he is slipping away. I liked that they both were willing to reach out to someone else to try and fix what was wrong between them. Mac won my admiration from the beginning. He is determined to not be abusive like his father or to watch Amy turn into his mother who became a punching bag. He is terrified of hurting or frightening her despite his own darker desires. In the end they are both willing to change, willing to fight for their marriage, willing to place the other's needs as a priority. Inspiring.Adult read
