I read both books back to back, not that you have to, but it just was helpful to do it that way. They're both standalones so totally not an issue to read them separately. I was totally surprised that the ball busting bitch, Dee, could be so emotional. She so strong and sassy in the books that I was pleasantly surprised to see her softer side. Now Griz. That wasn't a surprise. His character is written so well. He is so alpha but soft. Dominant but lovable. And with his daughter. Nothing is sexier than a man with his child. The way he loved her and just wanted to hold her. Who wouldn't want to watch that. The plan the man had to take care of Hell Mouth is nothing short of hilarious. And the first night Griz is there is nothing short of priceless. Well played for both of them.  I'm glad that Lila didn't take it where she could have and make Dee get pregnant super early in the story or as a surprise. One pregnancy for this MC club is enough, especially with how Kitten was. This book follows suit as Holding Out did, with being able to hold it's own with plenty of drama yet a pleasant mix of sex and sass and softness. And don't think I forgot about the humor. Maybe not as funny as book one, but it's still there and enjoyable. I think Lila did an amazing job with this sequel. She still stuck with the same type of storyline as the first and kept with the alpha-amazingness of the first one. I love that we get a continuation of all our characters stories, not just Griz and Dee. There's more of everyone; Julian, Mattie, Kitten's mom and dad, the MC boys, Vi, Warden, everyone is there. Lila's writing flows so seemlessly that it isn't choppy or oversharing. It's so well written. What a great series!*copy from author for an honest review*
