This is the second book in this series and Steele is a bully, yes, but not like Grayson. He was psychotic. Steele did some horrible things to Aspen but she tried to have a backbone.
The prologue was hot. And the sex was on fire. The two of them together were panty drenching ridiculousness. Lots of somno, lots of oral (missing from the first one), voyeurism, primal play, all sorts of great stuff. Loved it. And there was a plot too. Bully plot with a stalker subplot. Like the first book.
Aspen had a history of trauma so watch your triggers here.
There are some things that happen that got a little darker too, near the last part of the book. I'm sensing a theme with this series. Not that this is a bad thing. It's doable. I'm digging the series so far. First time reading this author and I like it so far.
The audio was bomb. I love Teddy Hamilton and Desiree Ketchum and they both did a fantastic job with this one.
