Review: Hot tension

I really liked the first one in this series, where a war-torn and wounded veteran--now part of a secret group called the Underlight--has a passionate encounter with a beautiful burlesque dancer. Very hot.The second one in this series was not quite as hot but there's a large amount of sexual tension between Hauk and Jolie that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Nether is at the point where they're ready to fully admit their attraction for one another (or what they did to and for each other in the first book) so, instead, they kind of dance around each other.In the meantime, there's plenty going on with the bad guys (the Order) trying to get their hands on Hauk and the Underlight doing everything in their power to disrupt the Order's plans. While I like the premise, there just isn't enough worldbuilding to fully satisfy my curiosity. The books are short -- nearly novellas, actually -- and, between all the dancing around that Hauk and Jolie do, there just isn't enough time to fully develop the world. Still, Hauk and Jolie are a couple worth rooting for.
