Book 2 of 3: Chain Reaction

See all formats and editions

When the chemistry between the five men explodes, the stakes get even higher.

Jericho Rowlands has spent most of his life living under different names, doing the dirty work required to keep Sydney safe. His time as Warren Boiler had put him on a collision course with Sebastian Devlin—the lawyer who kept him out of jail when it all went to hell in a handbasket—and also brings him into contact with the three men who are such an important part of Sebastian’s life. Jericho is only supposed to be keeping Sebastian alive; that’s easier said than done when chemistry like he’s never felt before flares between him and all four men—four men that he definitely shouldn’t want to touch so much.

Quinn, Peyton, Will, and Sebastian have the weight of history and mistakes and missed opportunities between all of them, making an already-complicated situation harder. None of them can deny the magnetic pull holding them together as they try to muddle through what their new normal will look like. Jericho isn’t supposed to be part of it, but they can’t ignore their instant connection with him when he falls into their orbit.

The past has led them to where they are, but the threats of the present could end any chance at a future they might have. Sebastian and “Warren’s” names are on a list, and everyone else on it is dying one by one. Quinn is racing against the clock, and unless he can figure out who’s gunning for them from the shadows, the future they're fighting for could be out of reach. Quinn and Will are standing on one side of the law, Peyton and Jericho hold the other, but even that might not be enough to keep Sebastian out of the crosshairs.

Reactant is an MMMMM romance that ends in a HFN. It is Book 2 in an ongoing series that follows the same five men and their relationship. It is nota standalone whatsoever and begins directly after the end of Catalyst (Chain Reaction Book 1).

It contains adult situations, gun use, references to murder, suspense themes, and a character with PTSD. Readers’ discretion is advised.

This book exceeded my expectations. When I learned that the four were going to get a fifth I was super excited. I wasn't sure how the author would incorporate him, but I never had any doubts that he would fit right in. This author KNOWS, how to write a poly romance, and damn if she isn't good at it.

I loved watching Quinn, Will, Peyton, and Sebastian find their footing. All four of them are vastly different but they complement each other in amazing ways. And this author just... she gets it. As a polyamorous person, it's very hard to find real and true ways of how to be poly in fiction, but this series... it shows how lovely those relationships can be. It's real and so well done. They don't just work as a foursome but as individuals. Crane managed to show how each relationship, each person, is important to the overall relationship. This includes the insecurity and anxiety that comes with trying to navigate such a complicated relationship.

When Jericho enters the picture... holy hotness. The man is pure sin and sex. He sets the pages on fire and his chemistry with the four is off the charts. While he expects nothing but some one-time fun with the four, he gets far more than he bargains for. These men see through him, and though he has a lot of doubts and even more secrets, he finds himself incapable of denying these men anything.

On top of the romance is the mystery. And what a mystery it is. It's complex and involved and takes a lot of time and skill to pull off, especially as it builds off the plot that was introduced in the first book. I cannot wait to see what happens in the next book, though I am a wee bit scared as the author had my heart in my throat a few times while reading this book.

All in all, this book not only did what it was supposed to as a sequel, but it exceeded every expectation I could have had. It's truly a wonderful book. That was truly everything I wanted and more. The five of them are hot together, but also swoony and vulnerable, and SO sweet. It doesn't get any better than that, honestly.

A Beautiful Intricate Love Story with Action and Suspense

Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2023

I fell in love with this group of guys in Catalyst, which is the first book and must be read prior since this book picks up right where the first book ends. Also you won't be disappointed cause Catalyst is really good! So of course I was very excited to read Reactant. And let me tell you, not only did it exceeded my expectations but also made me fall more in love with the characters. But I do want to say that sweet Will must be protected at all costs.
Sebastian, Peyton, Quinn, and Will continue to navigate their complex but strong and loving relationship. But now they realize that flirty sexy Jericho might also be an integral part of their lives. You would think that adding a fifth would mess up the dynamics of an already complex relationship but the author does an awesome job of smoothly interweaving all of the delicate strings, in every way possible, to create a beautiful story. Loved that we got to see them interact individually and as a group, showing the different aspects of the relationship. And there was communication between the MCs, with no unnecessary drama. The author also continues to equally represent and make each MC important, giving each their own voice and personality (no cut and paste). And while all 5 are so different, they balance each other perfectly. It also had me laughing cause their banter was hilarious, my heart melting over the tender and loving scenes, and fanning myself cause all 5 men are sexy together practically melted my kindle. And while it is steamy hot 🔥🔥, it isn't all about the "fun times". There's a fully developed and intriguing plot, full of action and suspense. The mystery of who is trying to hurt Sebastian kept me on my toes and glued to the book.
It does end in a HFN, but it does not feel like a slow/dragged read. Quite the opposite in fact, the pacing is perfect for this beautiful intricate story which cannot be rushed to be fully appreciated and told. Now I'm anxiously waiting for the next book 😍😍

Adding a 5th player and more action/suspense to the story makes for a heck of a time! Time for the 3rd book to see what these men get up to.

Book 2 picks up where 2 begins. I thought the first book was so good. However, 2 is increasable. As the first, this onw has just as much action/suspense. The chemistry is off the charts. I need book 3 now! You must read book 1 before starting book 2.

Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2023

I enjoyed the continuing arc of the story from the first book, however, I would have preferred more story then sex. I know, I know…who says that!! However, I felt that the sex overshadowed the plot line a bit. I understand that the original four - Quinn, Peyton, Will, & Sebastian - were still figuring things out between themselves so why complicate it with a fifth. I admired Jericho and I did like him and his group of guys, I just didn’t see how adding him was essential to the overall arc of the story.

I absolutely adore Will! He is the comedian of the group and keeps them all laughing and smiling. He’s my favorite. We still are left hanging at the end about the man or men out to get Sebastian and so I will read on so I can see these men get their HEA.

Perfect Continuation - Can't Wait For More

Make sure you read book 1 first! This book does NOT standalone and requires book 1.

Loved every second. I can't believe this book is around 100,000 words. I devoured it in less than 2 days and I didn't want it to end.

It continues the story from the first book SO well and gives us more of the mystery from the first book.

I loved that there were relationship building scenes between individual couples within the polycule. And not just scenes with all of them together.

The only criticism I had is that the mystery got a little muddled and confused me a little in the middle. But it was worked out and explained in the end.j

LOVE this series. I can't get enough.
