Pride

Hmmm...this book (like book one) was a little bit of a mixed bag. I felt the romance in this one was a bit more developed but still took a backseat to Mason's background and the whole “Elite Seven” storyline. Which for me is the highlight of these books. I did like the fact that we didn't get too much OW stuff. The hero wasn't a manwhore. I didn't much care for the fact that this was an older woman/younger man story and the first sex scene was a little much. Mainly because it seemed SO over the top for two people that had JUST meet in a bar...but OK I went with it. (lol)



I think going forward I need to lower my expectations a bit regarding the “romances” and just sit back and enjoy the comradery between all the guys and the twists and turns that come from the whole “secret society” angle. That is definitely the best part of these books (so far).
