Although the book is a Volume 2 it could be read as a stand-alone.Overall I liked the book but there was one glaring and annoying problem with it. The author rushed over important moments or just plain didn't address beats that could have made the book more interesting. The book is a little over 100 pages which is too long for a short story but not long enough for a standard novel. There were so many moments that should have been better explored for example:*** SPOILER ALERT (rest of the review) ***  The entire trip to England. Specifically, Bianca's relationship with her mother-in-law. After the scare at the hospital suddenly Sergei's mom liked her??? This is after the conversation with Ten, the buildup pre-trip about how worried she was and the argument between Sergei and his mom. Way too rushed. Other moments in England: Erin's brief run in with her ex. Viv's anger with Nicoli for showing up late. At the very least, the women needed to get together in England and have some girl talk about all of that. Bare minimum.I loved it when Bianca spoke with Ten at the car. I was just waiting for him to cause some problems in her relationship but nothing happened. Another missed opportunity. Also, I loved when Bianca got kidnapped, but then the men found them so quickly. She didn't even have one conversation with Erin! No convo about how scared they were, maybe a plan on how they're going to get out? Nothing??? Maybe premature labor scare??? The author kept on building tension but then rushed through the climax. The situation with Ten, the meeting with MIL and the kidnapping, basically the entire book.Roxie Rivera is a good writer but she needs to slow down and not skip or rush through all the important moments in the book. I'm not ready to give up on Roxie just yet, but I'm probably going to check the page count before purchasing next time.
