Review: Be prepared for a sleepless night ... this is an emotional roller coaster.

The book was almost as good as the first, but no one can beat my Jax.  I love him always.  **SPOILERS**  First off, let me start by saying I HATE a story with a passion when one of the main characters have sex with someone else after meeting their mate.  I was going to take a star off for this.  That is a total turn off and it was very hard for me to continue because I couldn't shake the hurt that I felt.  Sawyer slept with the ho of the town after he and Grace had a disagreement.  Now keep in mind that they had not come to the point of a sexual relationship but I felt that their friendship had gone far enough that having sex with someone else was a no no.  This is a very HARD thing as a reader to get past and continue reading the story.  Grace heard the whole sex thing and she runs away crying.  (FYI, she cries all the time)  The next morning Sawyer explains to her that it didn't mean anything and she forgives him easily...WTF?  As a reader, you realize at some point you have to let that s*** go in order for you and the main characters to move forward with their relationship.  I hope the author does not make this mistake in the next installment (wink, wink).  I love the scene after they watch a horror movie together; it had me laughing out loud.  I also like the scene where Grace explains to Sawyer's father that he is a hero instead of a legend.  Another part I didn't care for Sawyer in was the bar scene in Colorado (this is why I prefer Jax, hands down).  He basically ignored her for 45 minutes and didn't push other women away.  But per him, he didn't flirt with them so that's okay (frown).  How can he be trusted?  Although it seems like I'm saying a lot of negative things, this really is a very good book.  Sawyer is very possessive and protective towards "Cupcake" and he takes care to keep her happy, once their relationship is solid.  There is a teaser at the end of the book on Cade's story and I can't wait to read it.  I hope it's coming very soon.  I hope there will be more stories in the Men of Honor series but I don't know who would be after Cade.  The three main seal men are Jax, Sawyer and Cade.  Maybe Max will get a story but he is portrayed as an older male.  This really doesn't mean anything, because the main characters are really all very young.
