Wow, this book is intense. It is book two of Max and Sean's story. We know from book 1 the demons that have shaped Max and this story brings them all out of him. He is wrecked, trapped and in so much pain. This story shows how Max is utterly in love but too broken to allow his heart to accept it. It is heartbreaking watching him hurt Sean time after time. Sean is steller, he loves Max and doesn't know about his past. Everytime he thinks he will break Max's barrier down, Max builds it higher.  This is some kinky book,  with the Dom/sub dynamic, we watch Max take Sean to euphoria and it is hot on a high level. We also get the POV of Scott and Tad amongst Max and Sean which really adds a lot to the narrative. It is a painful story with high angst and disappointment but Sean knows Max is worth every second. I can't wait to read Kai's story, his role in this book was nothing short of brilliant and needs a medal for his performance. This ending has a sweetness and is the start of their happy ever after.
