I was given this as an ARC from Whitley. I voluntarily decided to leave a review. This is my honest review.
It feels like I've waited so long for this book when in reality it's not even a month. I couldn't wait to start it and it felt like coming home so comfortable and also the needing for closure to what had been started in the first book between Kendra and Justin.
It was different than the first book because you feel like you already know both Justin and Kendra yet seeing them together was great and what you really want.
I didn't know what to expect but I knew it would be great after the last book and I wasn't disappointed at all. I was hooked from the start, the way Whitley writes and portrays the characters is brilliant, she gives such detail you can picture what they look like without having to see them, she helps your imagination expand to take in everything she's telling you in such detail.
I loved the way it was so different to the last book although I did cry a few times in this book being drawn with such emotion I don't think anyone would be able to read it without showing some emotion.
Kendra has had such loss in her life yet Justin keeps her growing need for love and acceptance complete, he is everything she'll ever need but she can't help but second guess all the time. It's a rollercoaster of emotions again.
This book focuses more on Justin's life and family and both are very trying to Kendra who's never really known true love given to her freely by anyone except her sister and her final foster family.
Justin loves her and wants her so much, but he's driven by power and money, 2 things that have never played a part in Kendra's life, but she knew it as soon as she met him and walked into the relationship with her eyes wide open.
I loved the way Whitley made this book so different yet still so compelling and emotional making you want to turn every page, no read the chapter, no finish the book! I had read it all without realising how long I had been reading or what time it was!
I'd been so engrossed by what I was reading I'd tuned out to my surroundings or what was happening, I'd been pulled into the world of Kendra and Justin all over again because that is what Whitley does with her books! She makes them real, friends, family and everything that goes with them. They all have their flaws and faults just like everyone in the "real" world and you get to do it with Kendra and Justin.
This book is definitely for over 18 because of the sexual content, this only heightens your senses and imagination making it wow, so hot in parts, but it's needed because it's part of Kendra and Justin and how Kendra can function with life, it's part of who they are.
You also need time to read this book with no distractions because you need to take your time to read it and take in what's happening because it's not a book that you'll want to put down and pick up reading it over a few weeks. I tried and failed you just can't, once you open it their world takes priority to your other needs. You could read it in sections but it flows from one chapter to the next with no real place that you would want to stop, unless you're very strong and determined!
There is nothing about this book that I didn't love, but then I would expect nothing less after reading the last book.
Whitley has set a very high bar for herself with this book but I know she is able to keep it high because she has a rare talent, she writes from the heart and it shows through with every word on every page that she writes. She is a brilliant writer and I for one love her style of writing losing myself within her books!
It's a must read romance which I will enjoy reading again and again.
