*I received this book free from Drue's Random Chatter in exchange for an honest review*I absolutely cannot believe this book was slightly longer than the first...it went by so quickly! Then again, this one doesn't have the same slow beginning as it predecessor. There was nothing like reading the details of Vic's `second job' to hook me right into the story. Holy cow...wow! If anyone ever mentions a sjambok around me my mind will automatically go to the images my brain has associated with Vic.Vic is tender, sweet, caring, and over the top sexy. He's definitely an alpha character if ever I read one. He knows what he wants and he's not afraid to pursue it. Even if the objection of his desire acts like she hates him."You know, you're even more beautiful when you're laughing and smiling!"Laura lives 24/7 with her guard up and her ice queen exterior in place, but knowing her past, it's perfectly understandable. However, Vic sees more than what she projects. He sees the wounded woman below the mask and he wants nothing more than to kiss away her pain, but at the same time he doesn't want to risk the pain of getting hurt. And in that lies the double edge sword of love and heartbreak."I promised you I'd keep you safe, and I failed. Epic Failure. And I'm so incredibly sorry. I wouldn't blame you if you never trusted me again."This book has it all. There are psycho people hell bent on taking Laura out, each for their own reasons. A somewhat love triangle that ultimately just irritates me to no end. Hate to say it but I seriously do not like Nikki all that much. A tender love story filled with patience. And if you like hot and steamy sex scenes, this definitely has many, and they do not disappoint.My Favorite Moment: I loved the thank you flowers."To one of the best teachers in the world from a grateful recipient of the benefits of your teaching."**This review has been edited to comply with Amazon standards.
