Review: Faithful possessive jealous male
Rating: 4 out of 5

For the most part I have really enjoyed reading Jordan Silver's books, this book included.  I can always count on an alpha possessive jealous male who is faithful to the h and eventually a HEA.  If there are books of hers that do not include those elements then I have not read them nor do I want to.What I liked:  The main characters, Matt, the H and brother to Josh from the first book and Kadyn, the h were likable. Matt was the alpha possessive jealous male who was faithful to Kadyn.  I loved that.  There was little cussing in this book, unlike the first Passion book, (which I loved despite the cussing.) .  There was no BSDM in this book unlike some of her others. The way he and Josh refer to their sister's boyfriend is funny even though it is mean.  It made me laugh.  I liked that there was an epilogue so we saw that the characters had a HEA as opposed to HFN. The author has reduced the number of grammar mistakes she made, which is nice.What I wished was different. Here is the thing.  While I really liked Passion 2, I loved Passion 1 with Josh, the H and Carrie, the h.  It should not be that way.  Unlike Passion 2, Passion 1 had excessive cussing and scenes of BSDM, one of which really went overboard IMO. I do not believe there was any more smexing in Passion 1 verses Passion 2 so they cannot be the reason either.  Why I liked Passion 1 better is there was more passion in the book.  Josh and Carrie from Passion 1 had a lot of chemistry.  You could feel it.  Josh was just more of everything than Matt, even though Matt was older.  Josh was more alpha, smarter, more strategic and analytical.  He was the leader of the group.  He was really over the top possessive, protective and jealous when it came to Carrie. Carrie was more too.  Unlike Kaydn, who is timid and passively accepts things, Carry was feisty. While Carrie was a hurt girl on the inside and eventually let Josh love her, she stood up to him.  While some chemistry existed for Matt and Kaydn, the relationship was more tame, had less fire.  Also Passion 1 had more suspense, more things happened that put the reader on the edge.  Also, even though it is not PC and totally unrealistic, I liked the ending better in Passion 1.  Josh and Carry get married while still teenagers.  In book 2 they make appearances and they are still crazy about each other including during the epilogue years later.  With that said, I will continue to read Jordan Silver's book and look forward to the next one.
