"Noticeably catching her breath, her chest rises and falls and I’m given a moment to admire her. A vampire. My mate is paranormal, not human. There will be so much less to explain."

I would say this was a bit better than the first one.
It had more plotline I guess.
However, I feel like there's no balance with the plotline.

I know there's a few characters/couples, but with the different POV, there's no focus on which on we trying to tell their story and if their plotline is finished or in the progress. 

“Mmm, I liked that.” “I don’t think I can hit you.” His sad eyes tell me he thinks he’s failing me. That he won’t be able to sate me. “I don’t want you to. I just want you to love me.”

This was a struggle and honestly I think a lot of it has to do with the amount of perspectives we get. I think from trying to focus on three couples at once, a lot of detail gets lost. I know there’s an overarching plot and they’re going to be dealing with some bad guys but honestly I can barely keep track of it. Plus I’m getting frustrated when everyone is ignoring and confused by Grace wanted to understand more about this world and what her role in it is other than just blindly following the alpha like everyone else. She’s a human in a paranormal world where she was lied to for most of her life about what actually goes on with werewolves and vampires and everything else. Of course she’ll have questions and them refusing to answer them or acknowledge them is starting to really frustrate me. On the other hand though, I’m really enjoying Lizzie’s story and how her mates are working to help her heal from her past. Honestly, if we could have just had one book following her and then another following Grace, I think it might let up on my confusion with details. Not sure what I think about Veronica. I loved when she was first introduced but the whole ending threw me off and makes me confused about some details about this world.

Read the second one immediately following the first one and have pretty much the same complaints about it. It takes plotless smut to a whole new level and I feel like things STILL weren’t explained well. I liked the addition of Veronica and Vince but they could’ve been there in book 1 and it probably wouldn’t have hurt it. And I didn’t hate them, I just feel like these didn’t live up to their potential
