I had such high hopes & expectations going into this book because I loved Book 1, "Broken Hart" with Dante & Sabrina. Not that I disliked book #2 but there were just so many things stopping this for me from being a 5-star read. I'll just list the things that I could've done without.* Very sticky and cheesy at times lol Don't get me wrong I love Damien & I loved Brooke as well. But I thought he was a bit too cheesy sometimes. I'm a total romantic and I love romance. But sometimes it can be laid on a bit too thick. I think it was in here at some points.* Recapping the same scenes from Dual POV's. I always enjoy reading books where its Dual POV's from the man & woman's perspective. But I think its a must to keep the story moving. I felt like here it always recapped the same thing you just read. Like for example sometimes like, "Damien showed up to my hotel room in vegas.." and then the next chapter is his POV saying, "I showed up to Brooke's hotel room in vegas" I felt like well duh! we knew that already lol!!* It also repeated entire conversations that we already said in Book 1. And I felt like if your following this series you'd already be aware. Seemed like a waste of space.* And then there was no sex until almost the last few chapters. Around 85% I think they finally did. That's another thing that frustrated me is Damien constantly kept running away from Brooke. Seems a bit unrealistic to me. I kept thinking what guy is going to turn sex down with an attractive woman? lol! There were moments they could both be completely naked & making out and he jumps up refusing again thinking he's not good enough for her. And the reason he thinks he's not good enough, seems a bit far fetched. ::SPOILER ALERT:: It all has to do with Dante & Damien's parents who were sex addicts and their mother left a suicide note telling them that their addicts and should kill themselves, etc.. before falling in love with any woman. Therefore they never commit to any relationship. To know that's the whole reason behind his resistance just fell short for me.Other than those few points. I enjoyed this story. And I will continue reading this series because I liked this characters all and the dynamic between them. Solid 3 stars.
