This was intense. The serial killer guy, oh my god.
I adore Ian. MIRO is kinda annoying. I don’t know what else to say. This book series feels like a soap or a tv show. I didn’t really enjoy book 1, but this book was definitely more engaging.

2.5 stars.
I don't understand the high ratings these books have gotten. The story reads as one long - emotionality distanced - reciting retelling. It's just a sappy romance, and even though the characters supposedly should be tuff and gruff, have a angsty baggage, and deep personalities, I simply don't believe it. I simply don't feel it. I read book #2 because I don't understand why people like these books and thought I might have been in the wrong kind of mood to read them. But I've read 2 out of 3 now and I still don't like them. Again I must conclude I do not like Calmes writing.
I will however read/skim through the last book. Just to tie off the bow nice and nearly.

Se me hizo mejor el primero. No sé si fue problema de edición o la autora no supo cómo dar continuidad,pero 3/4 partes del libro se sentían como historias cortas de los personajes no como una misma, aparte que las resolvía sin más, hasta de manera caricaturesca. Se puso más interesante cuando llegamos a la parte del acosador de Miro, ojalá esa trama hubiera abarcado todo el libro y la hubiera desarrollado. Por esta parte le puse 3 sino hubiera sido un 2 estrellas.Sus historias siguen siendo muy inverosímiles.

I was positively surprised by this sequel since I worried it would get boring or repetitive. It didn’t. I really love Miro and Ian as a couple—they’re so in love, so romantic and hot in a way that definitely isn’t getting old. I actually liked their “growing pains” and that they have heated arguments and some angst in there, because the make-up is oh so sweet.
The book was mostly filled with good times as far as the marshal work went, with one big exception being the psychotic serial killer part of it. I hated that. I knew it was coming, and it turned out worse than I feared. I really, really despise kidnapping twists and particularly torture. I scrolled past all of it but hearing about it after was bad enough. Absolutely horrifying. Hence my dropping the rating. At least the scum is gone now.
