Review: Sadly a bit disappointing :0(

After reading the first book in this series and loving it, I immediately went out and bought the 2nd. Sadly, the second did not stand up as well, in my opinion, as did the first. Alex is a dream-come-true type of guy; sweet, tender, generous and very loving, His counterpart, Aubrey, wasn't a bad person, just one that didn't trust herself or others easily.My biggest complaint with this book is that it lost continuity for me when I had to continually skip numerous pages to get past the many, many explicit sexual encounters between Alex and Aubrey. I much prefer a little mystery, and unfortunately for me, there was no need for any mystery as it is spelled out for you in full color. A few scenes would be OK, but when you are having to skip multiple pages one or more times in many chapters, the story line gets lost. There were a few chapters that were strictly story and dialog oriented and at those times the story really "grabbed" me and the ending was truly what fairy tales are made of, but when you have to avoid so much of the book to avoid sections you are not interested in, the book looses it's enjoyment.Admittedly, there was an "18 or older - adult situations" warning that I should have heeded a bit more closely, but after such a wonderful story in the first and a lack of resolution at it's ending, I really wanted to know what happened to Alex and Aubrey.When there was story that was not repeatedly broken up by descriptive sex, it was very, very good. Unfortunately, because of that I cannot give it a higher rating. Without all the sex to break things up for me it would have been a solid 5 stars!
