One thing is for certain... Whitney Gracia Williams has NAILED it when it comes down to writing a perfect serial. How she packs so much goodness, so much story, so much hotness, so much meat into such a short story, I just don't know. But she does it, and she does it perfectly.The first installment in this series knocked me right on my ass. I loved everything about it. The web of deceit and the build, the unbelievably intriguing characters, the sexual tension, the angst and the epic cliffhanger... I just loved every single sexy second of it. I could not wait for this second installment.I'll admit, I was nervous. I was nervous that the first book was a fluke, that the second might not live up to my expectations. I've never been so glad to be wrong. To be fair, RD2 doesn't have the same feel to it as it's predecessor. It's part of a journey, so of course, this installment didn't hold the same type of excitement that the first book did. But it did deliver other things, equally as important, no less compelling, exciting in a different way. Where the first book drew me in with its steamy scenes, it's mystery and secrecy, it's smart, clever writing... RD2 delves deeper into those secrets. I found out so much more about Andrew's past, yet I'm still craving so much more. With ever answer comes new questions. And with every snarky word out of the sexy lawyer's mouth, I'm drawn in closer. Does Andrew have the capacity to ever give a woman more than one night? Will Aubrey ever be more than a notch on his office desk? With the bombs dropped, yet again, at the end of this book, I'm left (with my chin on the floor) wondering where this can possibly go next.This author's writing is on point. (No pun intended.) The panty melting sexy scenes... The snarky banter between characters... The way Andrew snaps at his colleagues, his dimwit secretary, even Aubrey... It's all just spectacular. Dialogue is a huge sticking point for me, I'm a reader that needs realistic, engaging dialogue in my books. Cheesy, over the top, unbelievable exchanges between characters will immediately turn me off to an entire story. This author nails it. She develops a story perfectly, she keeps it fresh and original. The pacing, the ebbs and flows, the giving a little and then snatching it away... it all speaks volumes about the writing and storytelling of this author. I can not wait to see what she serves up next! I need more Andrew right now!
