Valorous by Marie Force
4.0
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Book 2 in this series takes place right after the 1st book with Natalie a complete mess after the truth about her rape and true identity become public (resulting in her losing her job). Flynn takes it upon himself to try t rectify the situation as he feels he is the cause for this (bring Natalie out in the open with them dating).
Along the way, their relationship takes a new turn. Natalie starts to grow as a person with the fact she no longer has to keep this secret of her rape hidden from anyone while Flynn still tries to keep his BDSM secret from Natalie and convince himself he doesn't want to be apart of the lifestyle any longer due to Natalie and what she's been there.
The main con of the book for me are the fast past of the book. The span of the relationship half way through the book is 2 weeks which really annoys me with the main the events that happen in the character lives. Would have preferred if the relationship between the two was a bit longs before the events of this novel. Another con is just the sex scenes in general. I pretty much lost count of how many times these two get it on and find it astonishing that Natalie is about to still walk. We get it M.S Force, some people like a good sex scene, but seriously to write that many.
But the one thing that did save this book from getting a lower rating is the ending. The last chapter of the book was written with so much power and emotion that it has convinced to read the last book in the series.
Apart from some of the descriptive pointless sex scenes (which brought the novel down for me), the book is well written and did capture my attention. I love how Flynn takes charge in dealing with the break in Natalie's personal life and how he takes care of her through this entire thing. You can definitely tell he loves her but the way he is changing his life and habits. A good "swoon" worthy book to read when you want to read a New Adult book when in a trashy type of mood.
