Review: Better than the first

The first installment was flirty and fun. This one is totally steamy and peeks into Ceci's and especially Bentley's inner psyche more. Getting to know Bentley in further depth made this an even better read than the previous volume. He has several sides to him - dominant, cocky, caring, flirtatious, intelligent and vulnerable. Even though Ceci keeps up with her outer role playing, her feelings aren't fake. Bentley feels similarly. The trust between them is both brittle and solid at the same time. Ceci has a goal and her determination could also lead her on a road to ruin, taking Bentley down with her. Bentley tries to maintain some emotional distance because he's been burned before and knows Ceci isn't being entirely honest with him. Unfortunately for Ceci, one lie leads to another especially when she can spin the deceit so flawlessly. Still, I like Ceci because her intent is to find out the truth...ironic, most definitely. She at least has enough awareness to want to avoid hurting Bentley. For all the frustrations that Ceci provides, I admire Bentley for taking the leap of chance when he knows he shouldn't. I can't wait to see how the conclusion unfolds.
