This is book two in the New York series by Lainey Reese and it's every bit as good as the first!  There's plenty of steamy scenes that are scorching and contain plenty of kink.  Brice is after all a Dom and Terryn a new sub.The characters have great chemistry and strong development with fun interactions among the secondary characters.  We get to revisit the trio from A Table for Three and we meet Gage who is slated to star in book 3.The plot was more involved than the first and is all about a murder mystery.  It's fairly predictable, but it adds depth to the romance and helps draw you in and keep you glued to the page.  It also brings out a secondary romance that's endearing.Now I will say that there are a couple things that weren't awesome.  The balance between the romance and the mystery could've been a little better and the ending felt a little bit rushed.  I also don't know how I felt about Brice sharing Terryn, as it just felt a little off despite the fact that that's a pretty natural part of BDSM life.  Finally, Gage's speech bothered me a bit because it was a little overdone in the southern accent department.Overall though, it was a really great read and I can't wait for the third installment!**I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.**
