I will be honest and start out by saying I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I started out not really liking it. I got the feeling that is going to be just like the first book, which I did not like at all. It took me to about 45 percent in and things started to change around for me. The concept of the story became more interesting, a twist in the story made me take notice to the story. This time I did get some of the realism I was looking for in the story. I had a much better connection to these characters and was more emotionally invested.Declan is introduced to us in the first book Without Boundaries, I liked him in that book. Hot tattoo, pierced MMA fighter, what is not to like. He seemed to have Alpha tendencies which I always enjoy in my books, and it seemed to stay consistence throughout the story.Ava, she is a beautiful person but she annoyed me a lot in this story. I wanted her to pull her head out of her ass, wake up and see what was right in front of her. Stubborn is not a strong enough word for her. This story has a bit more sex in it although not descriptive; it was still either very hot or very sweet. I could feel myself falling for Declan. I do like how the author kept them on a level of maturity with the obstacles that were being placed in front of them, especially with how young Ava is.Overall I enjoyed the book, I still feel something is missing when I read this authors work though. If I had to pinpoint it, I would say emotion is what is lacking. Never do I sense an all consuming feeling with her characters; I can see it there but never quite able to reach it. The supporting characters are in and out of the story in such a way that I do not seem to connect too much with any of them. The authors writing style seems better than the first book as well, I felt the difference as I was reading. I did sense a stronger character development. One other thing I would have liked more was to see more of the family dynamic with Ava, Declan and their daughter. This one I think readers will enjoy.
