AMAZING story, even better than the first in this duet.
I loved that Nic was instantly attracted to Merry, and saw her unique beauty, despite her not being what was “normally” considered pretty. He loved things she hated about herself, such as her hair. His constant building her up and getting on to her when she would tear down her looks endeared him to me and I really respected him for that.
The sexual tension was off the charts...these two have an immediate connection that only intensifies as their feelings for one another grow.
Emma Holly has a way with words, and when it came to the sex scenes she did not disappoint. Hot, erotic perfection.
Top it off with a feel good happy ending, and you have the perfect book, and a love story I'll remember with fondness.
*Note: Merry has a small role in Book 1, Beyond Innocence. While reading Book 1 first will give you a bit of insight on the character of Merry, it's not essential. Helpful, certainly, but not a MUST read in order to enjoy this story.
