Ready or Not
by Jillian West
“Ready or Not” is the second part of the Assurance Security duet.
I will admit, the cliffhanger in book one left me so curious as to how this book would start! Needless to say, the opening of the book was a good indicator of how the book in its entirety would flow: fast.
Vale does spend the majority of this book pregnant, and I was very surprised to see how quickly her pack grew. What I thought was established as a pack of convenience, quickly (and quite suddenly) turned into a legitimate pack. I felt like I blinked and the other men, save Bishop, were calling her their wife and ensuring they were in a position to bond her ASAP. Compared to book one, where you have certain characters (read: Mercer) stressing that the pack is simply formality, this sudden change in tone left me feeling like I suffered whiplash.
In this book, we’re able to get more of Cooper and Vale’s backstory, while simultaneously getting to know the remaining members of the pack.
It was an overall enjoyable book, but not my favorite from this author. It was slightly too fast paced for me, and in the end I would have enjoyed seeing more of Vale and her pack post baby. Unfortunately, that was saved for the final quarter of the book and the epilogues.
