I liked this one better than the first. I felt like it had a bit more of a dark feel to it. Only because of Preston. I knew I didn't like that guy. She has learned that while she was living with the 3 guys she has become used to living the way they had her, no makup, dresses, no panties and ready at all times. She goes home and her mom instanly wants her to become who she was before hand. Getting her hair done, desiner clothes, mani & pedi's. She realizes that is not who she wants to be anymore.
I felt like this could have been better though, added in more things that could have happened. There were so many things that ran through my head that I was wondering....what if this happens, what if that happens. But in the end nothing that I had thought might or could happen did.
There are things that happen that did upset me and make me want to hurt Preston. I wanted some very bad things to happen to him at some points.
I did feel like the way it all ended wrapped up way too fast. I felt like it was a bit abrupt. I kind of wish we could have gotten a little more. I wonder if there will be another.

At the end of book one I thought we were heading towards a symbiotic relationship between the four main characters. With each meeting a certain need of Lydia's and everyone learning and growing together.
Ya, that's not how it all played out AT ALL. For most of the book Lydia was gone from La Nouvelle Vie and back living under hers parents guard. Kruin was pretty much MIA is this book. Preston crossed the line into batshit crazy, and Gabriel popped in a few times here and there to progress the romance angle between him and Lydia.
The humiliation and degradation wasn't quite so harsh in this one, so it made for a more enjoyable read for me. It was left open ended with There is is also a little surprise for Preston at the end, so I assume there is going to be a book three.
I really enjoyed this one. Like book one I ate it up and was excited to see how things were going to play out for all four of these characters. I'm definitely on board for book three.

Gabriel and Lydia getting away from Preston and her family to start a new life. So HFNI really enjoyed this one. Like book one I ate it up and was excited to see how things were going to play out for all four of these characters. I'm definitely on board for book three.

Not what I was hoping for but enjoyable all the same. This book was more about how Lydia handled her time on the plantation and learning what her life needed to be for herself.
