A ~spicy~ second chance, forbidden romance with all the drama. Immediately it was obvious Jasper and Cole were next level soulmate connection, and I loved all the possessive jealousy. I wished there was a little more to their time before, but I enjoyed all the angst and drama of their reconnection.

Jasper left Cole 6 years ago and has been punishing himself ever since. When I first heard about this for some reason I thought Cole was the one who was married, so that was a fun surprise. I liked Jasper and he obviously needed to do a lot of work on himself, but his martyr-ness dragged on a bit. I thought Cole was going to be crazy alpha-like, but was nicely surprised again when he was so very caring, sweet, and supportive to Jasper (though in the bedroom I wouldn't exactly call it "sweet"). Their connection was very palpable, and if we had more of their beginnings I think it would've made it an easy 5 stars for me. 

There was lots of drama and angst and all the fun of having two people intensely in love with each other rekindle their relationship. I think Daniel's character was a bit of a caricature of a villainy husband, but it made it a lot easier to root for Jasper and Cole. I'm very curious in how Leland and Franklin will play out because I did not see anything like that coming.
