After the epic cliffhanger in book one I was really glad to be able to read this novel and get to see more of Alex and Libby.

Just like book one there is still a lot of angst and drama but Alex was trying to prove to Libby that he wanted her and her only. Of course Katherine and James really didn't help matters and you will see what all these two get up to to try to break these two apart.

Alex to me seemed to mature a lot more as did Libby in this book. Of course the ending left me wanting more.

Beautifully written it was hard for me to put this book down.

The love scenes were well written and each scene was written in such a way that they didn't repeat themselves thru out the book.

This story has left me intrigued and wanting to read more about this beautiful star crossed lovers who even though there has been an ocean and enemies dividing them managed to keep holding onto their special love.

We sit in silence for a few moments, Alex tracing my scar with his fingers. He moves slowly behind me. I feel his breath against my neck. It’s a warning to all my senses to be on my guard. My body yearns for his touch. I want him. The darkness and uncertainty of the last few minutes has lifted and has been replaced with desire.

He places small kisses on my neck and slowly but gently moves down my back until he reaches the scar, where he stops and lingers. Seriously? He can’t keep overthinking this, or it will be a painful weekend for both of us. I don’t want to waste the time we have together.

“Alex.” My voice is barely a whisper.

“Yes, baby.”

“I want you now, please.”

“You have me.” He moves from behind me and pushes me down flat on the bed. He pulls my bra straps off my shoulders and throws the bra on the floor. How did I not notice him undoing the clip? He stands at the side of the bed and removes his trousers and boxers in one go.

Oh, what a sight before me.

“Libby, see what you do to me?”

My eyes slowly run the length of his body, leaving the most important part, at this moment, to savour.

“Anything I can help you with, Miss Stewart? You seem to be rather taken with a certain part of my anatomy,” he says with a devilish grin.

“Of course you can help. It’s a part of your body I want to get reacquainted with, considering how long it’s been since we were last together like this.” I reach my arms out to him and pull him toward me.

His grin is infectious. His lips find mine with passion and force. His tongue invades my mouth almost violently. I forcefully run my hands through his hair. A slight moan leaves him. His hands are all over my body, not staying in one place long, which is just as well, because I need this as quickly as he does. There will be plenty of time for deep and meaningful later. There’s no doubt in my mind what we both want in this moment.

All the frustration of our weeks apart boils away between us. We both seem to be worked up. He seems to be right where he wants to be and looks straight into my eyes for approval, which I give. My hands leave his hair and travel down his back. I move my legs, wrapping them around his waist, giving him all the invitation he needs.
