I rate books according to my enjoyment, and I enjoyed this, I couldn't turn the pages fast enough, but I have to say that all the things I wished for after reading the first book in the series didn't really happen.I wanted to see more of Jory-Stefan when he was not dismissing his fears of losing Rand and what they have. Stefan got the reassurance he craved for from Rand, friends and the ranch workers, but I didn't have the impression he really dealt with them. He seemed to be swept away by the whirlwind that Rand is, but the issue wasn't solved in my opinion.This takes me to Rand. Alpha male, ok, very much ok, but Rand has laid out a sort of road map of his relationship with Stefan, complete with dogs and kids, and is not going to discuss it. I'm sure he did everything in good faith, he's hopelessly in love with Stefan, but it's an attitude I can't stand, not even in alpha males. And also this level of crowding your lover wasn't so sexy after a while. I cherish my personal space very much and everyone should respect another person's personal space.I wanted to see how Rand's coming out affected his place in the community. I was told about it, about how Rand is settling in his new community, but it all seemed too sketched and the scene in the beginning with the deputies and the sheriff sort of lost its meaning.The whole family drama came out of left field, very much so, and I wasn't satisfied not one bit with "you only met my mother's side of the family". (view spoiler) What I liked very very much was that (view spoiler).It's entertaining and it works if you like your alphas to lose any resemblance of rational behavior when it comes to their lovers.
