I'm not sure why I even began to read this book after my extreme disappointment with the first in the series. The writing is poor, the story line is almost as dismal as the first in the series, and the ending...well obviously the author did not originally intend to produce a trilogy.

Readers surely are not purchasing the books in this series for their literary or artistic value. If you are considering this book to satisfy a craving for erotic fiction, you will be well served to look elsewhere. The sex scenes are so redundant that you will likely find yourself skimming or skipping your way through.

Finally, I must comment on the poor, awkward use of language. I hope to avoid exposure to "smirk" for quite some time after the overuse and repetition found in this woefully inadequate tale.
