I loved the first book in this series, so I was disappointed that I didn't connect with either David or Noah as much as I did Charlie and Miles. (I also, unfortunately, read this at the same time as a stellar M/M romance by Cat Sebastian, so I was constantly comparing the two.)
The villain and threats in this book were also less developed than in its prequel, so I had less emotional stake in this book. Also, this is a small pet peeve, but Noah's Italian has errors (though maybe that's on purpose?).
Nevertheless, the romance is cute and steamy and done well. I also enjoyed reading about Noah's ambition and talent--I could've read a whole book about the drama at his workplace. Overall it's a solid entry in the series; I just wanted more from it.
