I know it's been a while but unfortunately real life occasionally gets in the way of our fiction here. Today we are going to be taking a look at Hunger, the second book in The Seductors Series. As always with a series, if you aren't caught up, come back later. While I try to avoid spoilers in the current book being discussed, I make no promises about the books that came before. That being said, let's take a look at Hunger.When Jade walked out on Oliver six months ago, she left her heart behind. Little did she know her mission was far from over. Given a new mission—to secure a secret nuclear power core—she’s thrown back into his world and has to earn his trust once more. The only problem is that she’s competing directly with another Seductor that she despises, who has already been on the mission for two months. Oliver was devastated when he discovered Jade had left him, so he closed himself off to the world, focusing solely on his job. Everything is thrown into chaos when she resurfaces, working for an old friend of his. Will Jade be able to win Oliver back while fighting her jealously that another Seductor might steal the mission from her? Consumed with love, controlled by a hunger she has never known, can she protect her heart a second time around if Oliver takes her back?We catch up with Jade after she has completed her mission and left Oliver. We get to see what the protocol after a mission is, three months lockdown.... As we would expect Oliver doesn't go quietly in to that good night, and I for one wouldn't want him to. As I have come to look forward to in B.L.'s book, things are not that cut and dry. Jade ends up in lockdown closer to six months and boy is she climbing the walls by the time she's called up again. This time not only does she have to target the man she loves again, but she has to work "with" Alicia, who really needs to be hit with something heavy. I love the characters, even her, and it really was great to see some growth not only in Jade but Oliver as well. I would have liked to see a little bit more development before just falling back into bed with each other but I get it, they have a history. B.L. really steps up the drama with the plot this round and I have to say that it fits perfectly!You really have to pay attention this time around. The pace is super fast but it really works with the story. I loved the growth in not only the individuals, but their relationship as well. I loved getting to see a little bit more of Jade's past but also Oliver thinking about the future. The sex was seriously steamy and fun. There were such awesome moments in this book, but I don't want to spoil anything for you guys so I'll wrap it up. My only struggle with this book is the premise of "The Seductors". I think I just wish there was a little bit more backstory to explain how this could possibly be a functioning company. Yes, I know it's fiction and I should just roll with it, but the questions took me out of the story a few times. Why can't with all his money, they just leave? Other then that, you should pick up this book if you are a fan of good characters, a good story and a steamy read.
