I am so going to have Jesse withdrawal symptoms! I can't wait for the third book - why do I have to wait?? Yes I know Jesse was much more possessive in this one, but I enjoyed seeing Darker Jesse. 85% or so in my blood was pumping so fast I could feel the thumping in my ears! I thought I couldn't forgive Jesse when I found out what he did for his four "missing" days, but damn it, what happened at the end had me melting again. He is forgiven!! I found Ava less annoying in this one, although she did still annoy me at times. I felt proud of her how she dealt with Sarah, although I wouldn't have been so kind!

If my birth control started disappearing once I met someone I would definitely get suspicious, this ridiculousness infuriated me beyond belief. And I would like to know how someone is a billionaire from owning a sex club? Millionaire, maybe but I find it ridiculous that that this guy was that rich from his lucrative profession. Just like the first this was extremely entertaining but not really much respect for these characters. Jesse continues to beg Ava to disregard her job without any concern for her education or drive that put her there in the first place. In turn, Ava always ends up putting Jesse first and I just can't help thinking that these people are so narcissistic and self involved, I truly wish that her boss would have fired her. She doesn't seem concerned with her clients and never has repercussions for neglecting them, as she does through most of the book. What work has she even done for The Manor? If the author had devoted even 2 of the abundant sex scenes to her process and effort she put into the interior design for the Manor I might be able to think she was somewhat capable at her career. Also, what was the author trying to prove regarding the incident at the bar? To prove to women that they aren't capable of going out on their own and most certainly need an escort? What century is this? And last but not least: why in the hell, if this is a British book, are the running distances in miles and why is the author not using British spelling? i.e. realise vs realize? This was so aggravating to catch the inconsistencies in these books. On to the third I guess, I am a glutton for punishment.

Absolutely loved the continuation of Jesse & Ava's story, he can be the absolute sweetest man in the world and you can't help but swoon everytime he does something, or gives his reasoning for acting like an overprotective madman.

I'm mixed on this review. On one hand, I love it, and on the other I want to shake the characters. There are times this relationship is really unhealthy but then its also sweet. Yet, even with my frustration, the author has done her job because I have drank the potion and fallen down the rabbit hole because I am compelled to keep flipping the pages.
I'll be reading the next book but am a little concerned that it will be more of this unhealthy and manipulation followed by swoony and sweet.

This series is like a bad accident, you shouldn't look but you just can't help yourself! Jesse and Eva drive me nuts; they are more frustrating than Kellan and Kiera could ever dream about. They have officially taken my top spot of "Most Dysfunctional Couple". Despite my wish to inflict bodily harm, I could NOT stop reading. I was enthralled with this story and finished it in just a little over a day.
There are parts I HATED and parts loved. While I don't ever seen myself re-reading this series or loving Jesse, I can honestly say I was consumed.

OMFG... thank god this book is over...
Gave me a headache towards the end and was soo happy to mark as finished.
I have yet to read the 3rd book and I'm mentally preparing myself for the mind games...
I have put it on hold as I've been told it's looonnnggg..... so I'm reading something more upbeat.
Wonder what book 3 is going to cover and if we are going to see laid back, happy Jesse.....
Only time will tell..........
