My heart soared when I discovered there was a sequel! I’ll be honest, sequels scare me a little because I’m so nervous the author will ruin the characters (and maintaining the perfection of Heated Rivalry is a tall order) BUT I had nothing to fear because I adored this book. I did of course cry a lot but I also laughed and swooned and rejoiced. Jumping back in with Shane and Ilya was like being reunited with my closest friends. Such a wonderful book.
