Okay, so if you read my review to book one, Resist, you'll know it ended with a major cliffhanger, that we definitely get to start right back in the middle of. And of course, what happened was really what I figured happened, so in the end, my love for Ryker was saved. But things get even more intense in this sequel as we get more of Vaughn's background story, story that she may not even realize what happened exactly, as her young mind had blocked it out for her. There's only so much I can say in this review so as not to give away anything if you haven't read the first one. But I have to say that the author took this in a direction I totally did not see coming, and the way she did it made it so I didn't have to think anyone was being stubborn unreasonably. In fact, I think the way Vaughn ended up handling things was pretty much the right way. And it wasn't even just the big bad guy that we had to deal with at the end, there was that other side story that I had kind of wondered about along the way. But once again, Bromberg has written a story that is wonderfully deep and intense, sexy and romantic, with great characters and some unique situations. Another book for me to highly recommend!
