Honestly, more like the stakes and tensions I expected of book 1 from the blurb.
Bots are still pretty 1D and interchangeable, but whatever.

Reading this was like pulling teeth. Where the first book was fast-paced and fun, this one dragged on. Nothing happens except for a bunch of filler until the last 15% of the book with ridiculous plot twists.
I don’t even want to get into the “love triangle” with the wet blanket brothers. Absolutely no chemistry between any of them. Again, like the first book, I felt no emotional connection towards these characters.
Since this book was so underwhelming, I don’t think I will continue on in the series.

Giving it 5 stars because it rly was better than the first book and I can look passed the way the story played out if only for the way love was described in the side romances.

Original Review: 4.5 Stars ~ I loved this book even more than the first one! It wasted no time in diving into another mystery, and this one was full of romance, backstory, action, and heart-wrenching moments. There were so many unexpected twists and turns--- I was left eagerly burning through pages. I don't generally finish books this fast and am not usually this motivated to finish. I LOVE this series. I LOVE the characters. I LOVE the story. Most of all, I'm glad I took "a very risky gamble" in trying something outside of my comfort genre. I can't wait to see how this series concludes in The Final Gambit.
The two love interests are both great. Jameson is quickly growing on me as a character and Grayson has been my favorite character in the series ever since his debut in book 1. I hope they both find love and happiness in their own way!
Hoping book three won't disappoint!
