I didn't enjoy this quite as much as the first volume. I think that is mostly just because I love their relationship so much and while this does have discussions important for their growth I was missing more of the cute sweet moments. The topic of responsibility and understanding the danger of bondage and self bondage especially was not something I was expecting but was a great addition. It wasn't saying "this is a bad thing don't do it" it was saying be responsible and know what you are doing. Hearing Lisa talk about her history with self bondage in comparison to Marions really helps you understand that yes this is fun and great but is also not something to take lightly. There is a wrong and right way. It was extremely hard to read what happened to Marion. I could imagine her fear and panic and pain but it is an important aspect of BDSM to touch on. Excited to continue this series and see not only their relationship grow but more information around BDSM.

The second volume and this time less sexy times and more and more backstory. Which I loved, but still I wouldn’t mind even more sexy times.
After reading the first volume and falling head over heels with this couple, the art, and the story, I just had to continue reading to see if Ally and Lisa would stay together (given that we see them x years after I am going with a full YES) and if they would have the talk. As both of them seem to like each other more than the other is thinking. Plus, I hoped for more sexy times. I am still quite new to the BDSM stuff, so at times it was a bit too much (for me), but I also loved it.
In this one we see more Ally and Lisa, who find some new ways to have sexy times while not being able to do much (as Lisa is on her period, I so understood her bother when it came to visit). We see them grow much closer and getting more lovey-dovey.
We learn of various new things, a whole lot of backstory that features mostly Ally. We learn about her relationship with Alan, we see that two doms didn’t work out as the one always tried to overdo what the other did. I am so happy that despite their break-up in college, despite that it ended like this, that they are now best friends.
And we also learn of Marion, the ex of Alan. What happened to her and why Ally feels oh so guilty. Though she shouldn’t. No one blames her. No one. As Lisa said when Ally confided in her, some people don’t have common sense.

This series is one of my favorite things I'm reading right now. It's funny, it has heart, and, obviously, it's pretty darn sexy, too. I'm sad to see it will be coming to an end soon, but it's great to be able to read (almost) the entire series at once. I can't wait to dive into volume 3.
