OK so wow I thought the first one was great, this one is even better, I know my review maybe a few days late But I wanted to give the author more credit then what my review would have been like then. so yes it's late and I'm truly sorry for that. 

Anyways back to talking about how great this story is!!! The characters especially all the Alpha maleness is just down right HOTT. I'm actually really happy that most of all the characters I remember from book 1. In a way it kinda picks up from where 1 left off at only in different characters romance story.  This story is a 2 person POV. The characters this time around seemed more laid back and at the same time keeps things hidden all to well. *ok not going to spoil it anymore sorry**

The story really knows how to make me blush that's for sure that and keep me on my toes with every page turn.  The story line was really great over all plus I'm happy that in a way it ties into book 1!! I'm really happy to know not much really changed to make a hole difference just the romance and love part is different in the fact that it's 2 different people, hard to say if I liked book 1 or book 2 better I guess the author will just have to write another one to see then *hint hint*. More Please.

Excerpt

1


As soon as we crossed into the tent, the burn of strong incense made my eyes water. Madame Miranda was sitting at a small table complete with Tarot cards and a crystal ball. She was old and craggy, and when she spoke, her coarse voice made a chill run up my spine.

“I’ve been expecting you boys. I have something to tell you.”

Since it was Myles’ idea to enter the tent, we made him go first. My brain was too foggy from cheap beer to process what she was saying to him, but he went as white as a ghost and shot out of his chair.

“Marcus, come sit down and give me your hand,” she said, and my heart picked up. How does she know my name? “Do as you are told, beast!”

Shit. She knows my nickname too, I thought.

I sat across from her, and she grasped my hand in hers, running her dry, bony fingers along my palm.

“Yes, Marcus, you are quite a beast. But you will find your soul mate in due time. Roses will lead you to her.” She looked up at me and as her eyes bored into mine she gripped my hand tighter. “But be careful, beast. If you keep secrets from your belle rose, your love will fall like petals in winter and you will risk losing her forever.”

He surprised me when he finally said, “Would you like another shot?” The way he said the words made my alcohol-swimming brain believe that he might have meant something else.

“I’d love for you to give me a Tequila-O.” My eyes went wide when I realized what I had said. “I mean, I’d love another shot.”

Seeing that the bartender was on the other end of the bar, Marcus reached across the bar and snagged a bottle of Jose, pouring me a perfect shot. He slid it across to me and I slammed the shot back, keeping my eyes closed while Jose did his work, burning a line down my center.

The sound of Marcus’s deep voice brought me back to reality “Tessa tells me that you designed the themes for the different rooms here. Do you have a favorite?”

I felt heat rush into my cheeks from more than just the Tequila-O, and I sent a silent prayer that the flashing lights of the club had covered it up for me. “Lust is my favorite.”

Marcus slowly moved closer to me. With one hand resting on my bare thigh just above my knee and the other behind my neck, he pulled me toward him as he bent down and whispered in my ear, “Lust is my favorite too.” Then he released me and walked away, leaving my skin cold and empty where his hands had been.
