This picks up where the first one left off. You get so much more of Jase and Bethany. And what a ride you are taken on. I could not put this one down. I absolutely loved the twists and turns between these two. It was enjoyable, mind blowing, suspenseful and page turning. These two are magical together and take you on a journey as they continue to find answers regarding more then they know. Again this ends in a major cliffhanger but what a story.

Series: Irresistible Attraction #2
Synopsis:
The second book in the Irresistible Attraction Trilogy continues with the story of the youngest Cross brother. It starts with a prologue where Jase Cross remembers his earliest encounter with Marcus - the enemy - and all that his brother, Carter, had warned about. And now that Marcus has strong leverage against Jase, he will go after Marcus to protect what's his. Since this story continues from the first book, you'll have to read A Single Glance first.
Review:
The author creates such an atmosphere of suspense. You can taste the fear. And the cliff-hanger that the first book ended on, it's still there. A question of - "Is she alive? Is she dead?" There is no surety, no sense of calm. The emotions of Jase and Bethany are depicted beautifully. It's so heart-breaking to read Bethany's indecisiveness. Having lost her sister, she wants to trust someone, to fall back on someone, that someone being Jase. And yet she can't, she cannot fully trust him yet. She defies him, fights him every which way.
Jase is too intuitive for his own good. Also, the self-recrimination is something I believe makes me love his character more, in spite of the dark layers. The writing, oh, the writing! I wonder from where does the author bring about such richness in the language.
Also, I am warming up to Seth too. I don't know why I didn't notice him in the first book that much but, he has a calm presence in the storm that is Jase-Bethany's relationship. I wonder if he gets his own story?
What!?! Halfway through the book, new characters are finally introduced, characters whom we have been only hearing about since the first book. I so want to share but that will give away the surprise. And did I say how much I love the book within a book concept? The Coverless Book is just it! It's still a mystery but I surely want to have a copy of that book!
I want a friend like Laura too, how sweet is she to Beth! Jase and Bethany's relationship is a slow and sweet build-up, throughout Book One and now Book two. The uncertainties, the sweetness, the hotness. The author does justice to their melancholic state with her stellar writing. You just feel it in your bones. Fourth of June come fast, I can't wait to read the conclusion to this trilogy. Oh Jase and Bethany, I heart you!
Trigger Warning: The book has violence and erotic scenes, some of which can be disturbing. If you're not comfortable with either, it's better to avoid this Trilogy.
P.S. Is Jase the youngest Cross Brother? I am a little confused. There are four Cross brothers, Carter, Jase, Daniel, and Declan. And there's a fifth honorary brother Sebastian. I think I have to read the following books first to determine the exact familial relations and connections. Hehe! The books along with their publication date are as follows:

Her hazel eyes swirl with a mix of emotions. Complicated and in broken disarray, the amber colours bleeding into one another, but each still visible and adding to the beauty of her gaze.

Augh why!!!! I want to know the conclusion but I’m dreading the ending of Jase and Bethany’s story! In true Cross fashion, Jase has his twisted sense of love that he shows Bethany, to which she secretly loves it, and he would do anything to protect and love her. Bethany just has to come to terms with her feelings she has for Jase and if it’s something she’ll be able to live with. Can’t wait for the final book!
