First Off this is not just a re-telling of the story this is a different point of view a different voice, and what a voice it is.(I imagine it to be like Vin Diesel However I imagine every guy sounding like Vin Diesel).After reading both A Terrible Love and A Brutal Tenderness I really think they both needed to be written, as they are playing hidden identity roles, essentially there are 4 main characters Jewell/Jess and Devin Castile/Blaine (Cas) Steel. And who doesnt love doing a re-read on a great story this way you get to read it again but with some inciteful differences.This is Cas' point of view. I loved this view, Cas is definitely painted in a different light and so much  is added to his character. I loved finding out more about him, and how he falls for Jewell.I really enjoyed Cas again this time around dont get me wrong I fricken Loved the alphary Cas that was portrayed in A Terrible Love but I also loved the softer side we get to see in this story. I preferred that he referenced Jess with her real name Jewell whenever he spoke or thought about her,  made it more believable for me. Seeing the relationship through Cas' eyes is interesting and you can see how he falls for Jewell and all the obstacles put in his way with reasons for the disappearances in A Terrible Love.I liked how we got to know the “FBI team” as well, and who was playing whom.I found this sequel was a little more humours probably more to do with the ribbing Cas gets from his FBI buddies.The sexy scenes are still just as hot as A Terrible Love, but I did like Jewells reactions and her tension filled build ups in the first story, slightly more. And still that one word line “Respond” is still panty dropping hot.I have to mention I completely love love loved that the Book Titles were used in both novels and as important lines at that, very very clever.We also get more information on Thad and Ben which deepens the story to another level, their connection and their mutual admiration of being sickos.The epilogue is excellent in this story I was so glad to see there was a bit more to the story.This is definitely a series I need to get in paperback  to sit on my shelf for re-reading and general admiration.All up I fricken love Marata Eros she has a way with words that make you think and some lines that stay with you forever, Her sexy scenes are always hot and the connections between her characters are admirable and simple perfection. On my Automatic Buy list I cant wait to see what she comes up with next.
