I felt at a bit of a loss reading this book because I did not read Book One of this series. The characters are already established and friendships formed, love relationships in place.  This book seems to deal with the interpersonal issues between the main characters while the previous book dealt with getting them to meet and get out of a dangerous situation. The main plot deals with locating the missing parents of sisters Maya and Sandy. The men who are engaged in searching are Maya's boyfriend, Ryder, and his best friend, Nate.There are lots of relationship issues being dealt with between Ryder and Nate, between Maya and Nate, between Nate and his boyfriend, and also an old girlfriend of Ryder's who keeps trying to renew their relationship. Not everyone deals with their emotions in a healthy or positive way, but things get worked out eventually. Finding the parents of the the sisters brings surprises and reunions as well with many emotions and upheavals.The chapters are told from different characters perspectives, so it varies the viewpoint for the reader. The book covers about a year of time, so events aren't chronological , having the different narrators helps with the time gaps. Mostly the story is about the emotional growth of the core family unit that is the main characters of Maya, Ryder and Nate and how they made it through  thick and thin together. There is quite a lot of graphic sex, as implied by the title, some M/F, some M/M.I liked the characters, but probably would have cared more if I'd been through the whole saga with them. IMHO, I would suggest reading Book One first. Not that you can't figure things out, just that it will work better as a story.Heat factor hot.
