If you haven’t read Yearning Devotion, then you really must. Not only to understand this book, but to also be introduced to a series that is unconventional and thoughtful, and truly different than other books out there right now.

This book continues the story of Gwen, McKayla and Cole. Theirs is a complicated relationship, and things start to shift when their lives start to take off and they each start to move in their own directions. Life is changing for all three of them; will it bring them closer together or tear them apart?

First, Gwen…oh Gwen! She is really such a tragic character. Just when things start looking up for her, it seems she gets one knock after another. I just really felt for her, and I think the emotional connection the reader feels for her is the cornerstone to this story. Her drive, ambition and just pure spunk make her one of the best characters I’ve read in a while. Also, the unconventional relationship between Gwen, Makayla and Cole is something you don’t get a lot of in romance, and I loved reading about their trials and tribulations in the scope of polyamory…which is what I think their relationship would be considered. And Cole! He’s the sweetest, hottest and most wonderful book boyfriend. LOVE that Cole.

I have found both of these books to be not only hot, but angsty and emotional as well. It’s dark and unpredictable, and simply different. I really enjoyed this book, even more than the first. The ending was amazingly perfect, too. Perfect. 4.5 stars!
