Review: Good but not what I expected

3.5 starsI wanted to love this book so much. Sadly, although I liked the story and the characters, it didn't hold up to my expectations.Most of my disappointment stems from the fact that after I read One Ride I had become curious about the connection Sass and Tank shared. In the brief interactions they shared, their chemistry jumped off the page and although their connection was subtle it still felt real and intense. For this installment I was looking forward to see that connection deepen and grow.Now I'm not saying that Chelsea Camaron didn't bring their connection to the page. She did. But she didn't 'show' me a lot of it. Most of the time she 'told' me about it which took some of the joy out of the experience. Then add to the fact that Tank and Sass didn't interact much in this story and you can understand why I was disappointed. For me, it's imperative that I get to experience that initial connection, its growth and how it was deepened (which happens mostly through character interaction).However, having said that, I admit that the story was a good one. It delved into the situation Sass found herself after she decided to 'quit' the MC lifestyle--her struggles, her conflicted emotions. I liked that I got to see that side of the story. It added to Sass' growth as an individual which in turn helped her to grow as a couple with Tank.Tank's side of the story was interesting too. We got to know his story from the very beginning--what shaped him, what drove him. I'm glad I got to see him in another light which appeased my curiosity about him.As I said, their chemistry was very good and I'm disappointed that I didn't get to see much of it. Thankfully, the little bit I saw was paired with Sass and Tank's emotions which made it a treat to read.Keep in mind that although this is the second book in the series it can be read as a stand alone. Talon and Doll make a couple of appearances that added to the progression of the story but overall is was all about Sass and Tank's journey to finding their way back to each other.All in all, a good addition to the series.
