Rating: 5 out of 5

"Being Barron 2" is a well written novel, but I have to admit that it started off a little slow for me. I almost lost interest, until I realized that my brain was still operating at the high octane pace of the "Sin City Heat Series", and all the other high velocity books that I have read recently. Once, I decelerated my brain neurons, I was able to "feel" the rhythm of this book and understand that the slow start was to lay the foundation for the events to come.Around chapter 12, the pace of this novel really picked up, and I started to see the scenarios that I normally expect from the author SK. The novel started to come alive. I loved that Reed was observant enough to see through the false bravado of Skye and see her pain. His patience with her was admirable. However, for a small moment on the trip to Mexico, Skye started to become annoying, but eventually she redeemed herself, by standing with her man.Although I loved Miranda in "Being Baron", I have to admit, she got on my nerves in this novel; I thought she over-reached into the affairs of Skype and Reed. When Miranda, told her own husband Lane not to come home that night, I knew that Lane was too urbane to give the response that I would have loved to hear. At that point, I wished Lane could have turned into Darrell from the "Sin City Heat Series" and unleashed a barrage of verbal diatribe against Miranda.SK has done a nice job with Robbie's character making me wish I had a friend like him. The build-up tension between Taylor Anne and Max should scorch the next novel in "Being Baron 3". I have a suspicion that their story is going to be the most explosive in the series.I must congratulate SK for delivering justice - Barron's style to Kevin. In my opinion, when an author broaches a subject such as abuse, they have a moral obligation to make the perpetrator pay, and dearly too. Of course, this does not always happen in real life, but authors should not open this door and gloss over it. After all, the pen is mightier than the sword. SK, you really delivered here, thank you!
