This is the second book in the Abbs Valley series, and my oh my did the smut got prolific in this one.  There is some plot after the cliffhanger ending of book 1.  And although there was the mafia storyline, it seemed to come second to ALL the sex. Every combination imaginable and even some that I did not believe was physically possible.  By the last 15 percent I actually tuned out the sex. But as the sex took over so much the mafia plot line was rounded up far quicker and easier when the end came. It was almost a "blink and you'll miss it" moment.  I liked that the relationship became a true polygamous relationship, as most of these books are one female with a number of guys, but this one there is a lot of exploration of crossed swords too. I would have enjoyed more if the balance between plot and sex was reversed. Still I would continue with the series.
