Like the first book, Moreland is not subtle. It's obvious what the danger is going to be and who the "bad guy" is. And then the resulting drama was more or less predictable. And I realized that this book, as well as the first book, should have a content warning at the start because both deal with some heavy topics.

While I liked Aiden, Bentley is more my preference. Like Emmy from the first book, Aiden has some serious childhood trauma, including verbal and physical abuse. The pacing is a bit up and down, but some of that is Aiden's push-pull with Cami. The character development is 0 to 60. Aiden is all buttoned-up and suppressed, and then drama ensues and BAM! he's all in. The one thing I did appreciate is that in both books, the characters, including Aiden, acknowledge the need to discuss their trauma (both present and past) with a professional therapist/psychologist.

And like the first book, there are only a few sex scenes, and they really aren't memorable. John Lane's voice does nothing for me in somewhat mediocre spicy scenes.

Overall, it was an easy read despite some of the heavy topics. 

Both Maxine Mitchell and John Lane were good narrators with both the characterization and accents in this book. Maxine Mitchell was already one of my fave female narrators. I was impressed that John Lane narrated differently for Aiden than he did Bentley. And the narration was a bit more evenly split between the POVs.
