Review: Very Satisfying Epilogue
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 12 6, 2010
A super short summary of their backstory inSecond Chances: Jude and Rori dated briefly but she dumped him when he treated her badly.  She eventually went on to marry Zach, who introduced her to the D/s lifestyle but their blissful marriage was cut short when he was murdered.  Knowing what a treasure he'd thrown away, Jude took care of her afterwards, and after a long, long grieving process, Rori found love again with Jude (who was also majorly into the D/s scene).I was so happy when I heard there was going to be a little epilogue for these two, so much of their romantic story in Second Chances was spent apart from each other.  Rori's committed all the way to Jude now and has a new little tattoo to prove it (which he goes gonzo over), he just has a lingering issue that he doesn't know how to handle without hurting her; I try to use the word judiciously so it counts when I do, so..Jude is swoon-worthy.While the limited space of the story doesn't allow a lot of time for it, there's some really touching discussion between Rori and Jude about their D/s dynamic and some funny references back to people in Second Chances.  There aren't that many that I think it would be off-putting to people who hadn't read the first book, though obviously I recommend reading it - and reading it first.  There are plenty of laughs and tears to go along with the sex; as usual, a Kleenex warning.There's some sizzling, explicit D/s sex, and true to Second Chances, Rori is no sub outside of the bedroom.  Fans of the couple will be very, very happy with this.(This is also part of theNaughty and Niceholiday anthology, a collection of stories by Dane, Megan Hart, Shannon Stacey and Jaci Burton)
