I read the first book in this series earlier this year and for the most part I enjoyed it. It was the first book I had read by this author so I thought I’d give the second one a shot. I did enjoy this one quite a bit more than the first one and that was mainly due to Ryder. I loved that she is so much different from many of the other female characters that are found in contemporary romances. Ryder doesn’t need a man to save her or take care of her she can do that for herself and that’s just not something we see often in this genre and is one of the biggest reasons that I loved her.I really only had one problem with this book and that was with how fast Ryder and Devin fell in love. They hooked up once before the start of this book, the time frame from the hook up to the start of the book isn’t known (if it is I missed it). But from the start of the book to the time they say ‘I love you’ to each other is less than a week and most of those feelings developed over a two day period. To me it’s completely unrealistic and unbelievable for someone to fall in love that quickly. You can fall in lust that fast, but in my opinion, love takes a lot longer to happen. The only other issue I had with this book was that I felt it was too short and that things happened too fast, not just the love part. There was a big lack of build up to them finding Sarah as well as them falling in love. I could have used another 50 pages or so, so that things could play out a little slower. Overall I enjoyed reading this book.**An ARC of this book was received from Entangled Publishing for an honest review.
