I was unprepared for how this book was going to impact me. I went into the series blind. And as much as this one broke my heart it also restored it.

The second part of this series has left me beyond distraught. I'm beginning to think I'm as much of a masochist as the main characters.

The amount of back and forth pull Kate Stewart is able to believably place between these relationships kept me reeling, frantically turning pages. 

At no point did I anticipate what would happen next. I have never enjoyed suspense nor the roller coaster of emotions I experienced before this journey. 

I have laughed, glared, and cried. I have been frustrated, thankful, and heartbroken.

Now onto the third!

I'm still not sure I like this series, it was pretty emotional and made me stressed. I did prefer this book to the first, still didn't really like Sean, he's protections. 

It seems like most of the problems could have been solved with *communication*
