After the first book ended, I wanted to jump into the next one because I liked their relationship when they were younger. I wanted to see if we ever get back together or if she ends up with just one of them. But, of course, they were supposed to make up at some point since it was the whole premise. Plus, I've never read a reverse harem book, so I was curious how all of this would work out. I think this is one and the next one is my favorite in the series because we got to see the drama unfold between Pen and all four of the Breakers; we got more insight into David and Pen's deal, and then still got some of the dancing elements since at the root of the story was their love for dance. But the closer she got to the Breakers, I think we kind of lost her spunk. I like that she started mending her relationships with them, but I felt like she began to rely on them more and more, causing her to lose that fight a little bit. But they group still had a lot going on in this book, and it was interesting to see it play out. By the end of this one, I was determined to see the story play out because I really loved this book and the whole reverse harem thing. This was the first series I read with a reverse harem, and this one has a lot more spice than the first book.

Some questions have been answered, but still nothing too intriguing.
I do like this book more than the first one. I don’t know about the plot though. I’m having mixed emotions about it. As of right now, the series for me is a little below average; especially for a reverse harem.
