I liked this one better than the last. The plot wasn't as thin, and there was a better balance between action/character development and the sex scenes. I also noticed fewer typos, and fewer repeated phrases. What I did notice a lot more of, however, was that the author got on her “moral highground” soapbox too much. The story/plot would be running along smoothly and suddenly everything would stop so she could get on her soapbox (with Richard usually as the instigator). It was very jarring, and seemed like the author is working through something in her own life in this book. And speaking of Richard - enough is enough. He's never going to accept Anita for who she is, and she's never going to understand why he's so bothered by her lifestyle. That horse has been beaten, dead, and should've been buried wayyyyy down several couple books ago. Unfortunately, I bet we'll read all about it again in the next book. Yes, I'll keep going. For now. :) Due to the soapbox and Richard-dead-horse issues, I couldn't make this a 5 star read.
