Review: I liked the cuteness of the first book a bit more but this book stepped up into a fun, adult, erotic read!

Now and Again is the second book in the Now series. We first met Layla in book one, Now and Then as Emma’s beautiful older sister. She has had everything she has wanted because of her looks and popularity but at the age of 26 she lost the boy to her “Plain Jane” sister Emma. Now trying to recover from the feeling of betrayal and be happy for her sister she is moving on.Layla is trying to better herself and has decided to give up on the random sex with random guys to focus on herself. She has stepped up in work and has made a name for herself in the lawyer world. Things are finally starting to look up again and that is when she meets him. She meets Ben. Ben is a Chicago cop. He is 6’5 of pure muscle and Layla <b>Wants. Him. Now.</b>Ben isn’t the type of guy that does the girlfriend thing. He and Layla have a fun type of relationship that clearly Layla makes it clear she wants sex…. It’s almost a little too instant for me as I wanted more of a build up before these two start having sex with each other but I enjoyed both characters. I love that the author was able to turn my opinion of Layla around and now had me liking her. In Now and Then, I couldn’t stand what a awful, jealous sister she was to her sister and others around her but Layla has really changed.The main issue in the book is both characters are afraid to feel more then they want to admit. They are falling hard for each other and that scares them. I could totally see these characters together and enjoyed their romance. I did miss the bits of Now and Then that was missing, like the flash backs of the past with Cole growing up with Emma & Layla. I thought that made the book adorable, while Now and Again was more adult/erotic feel to it.I give Now and Again (Now #2) 4 Stars.
