This is the second book in the series, which features our lovely couple Korum and Mia. It picks off right where book one leaves off. Korum has found out the truth about Mia, and Mia learns that Korum knew about her deception all along. But even though Korum feels betrayed by Mia’s actions, he also loves Mia and refuses to give up on what they have so he takes her with him to Costa Rica, where a village of the Krinar live so he can show her what his people are really like and not what she has been told by others (which are mostly lies). We see the trials and the justice system of the Krinar, we see other Krinar-Human pairings, we also get to meet Mia’s family and how Korum charms them and how much he is willing to do to make her happy. I really loved this book, because in book one was them getting to know each other mostly in a sexual way, and then we have the deception of them both. But in this book is where they start to really “learn” each other in other ways especially intellectually and emotionally.

There was still so much unresolved between them, but in this moment, she couldn’t bring herself to care about the way their relationship had started, about all the mutual lies and betrayals. In this moment, she knew only that she loved him, that every part of her longed to be with him.

There is so much emotion in this book, that I fell really hard for this one here. I mean the emotional intimacy between them is really so pivotal in their relationship. Its the true turning point where we go from hot sex to the real love and swoon moments you look forward to in a classic romance. It was wonderful to see Korum and Mia have such fun together, playing together in the ocean, Korum meeting Mia’s family and winning their hearts because they are important to Mia, so they are important to him as well. To meeting a couple of other couples including one couple (that is featured in a novella in the series that meet in Greece centuries earlier) We also see the true depth of their relationship as they learn to forgive the past actions of each other, and try to make a life together.
