Our Review:
Reviewed by Donna ~ 3.5 stars
“Maybe it’s because I don’t want
to give up on you.”
“Everyone else does.”
Damn, Monica Murphy, what a tangled web we are weaving. For
a second book this was fast-paced, action-packed and full of drama, of the best
kind. We always thought that Jensen was the only one with secrets, yet it seems
that Rhett’s family are just as bad and the more this progressed, the more
secrets are exposed. Monica Murphy ends this book on a doozy, leaving the
reader salivating for more.
“You think the world is normal?
You’re wrong. It’s not. We’re all out there fucking around, doing forbidden
things, excited that we might get caught. Even more excited when we don’t. The thrill
of doing something you’re not supposed to is intoxicating stuff…”
With book two of a trilogy, you find the author eithers
nails it or fails miserably, and I am pleased to say that Monica Murphy
definitely hit the former. This book is packed with back story, giving me the
character connection that I craved in the first book. I loved that this book
was told from Rhett’s point of view and this really gives the reader that extra
narrative and answers a lot of questions. Was Jensen a game to him? Are his
feelings genuine? I was worried that perhaps this was just a bit of fun for Rhett,
but alas, no, Rhett is in this for the long haul.
“I don’t go for skanks who work
at strip clubs,” I sneer. The moment the words leave me, I feel like shit.
Because I actually do go for skanks who work at strip clubs. I just didn’t realize
it until tonight.”
Rhett’s family is one of the most dysfunctional, and it only
gets worse in this book. With an older brother and younger sister, Rhett is the
doomed middle child, but out of all of them, seems the most put together. Yes,
he is jaded, but he doesn’t let it define him. He knows he has been lucky when
it comes to financial support, but the support he has been lacking the most is
emotional and that is why he and Jensen are just so good together.
“One minute all I want is to feel
your skin pressed against mine and the next I want to punch you in your perfect
face.”
I hate to think what Monica Murphy has in store for us with
Damaged Hearts, but with this soap opera style trilogy I am seriously worried.
It seems nothing is off-limits. I am worried for the longevity of Rhett and
Jensen, they are chalk and cheese and when Jensen’s secret finally comes out
are we talking atomic bomb kinda consequences? However, I am hoping that these
two can find a way to stay together, because they really do bring out the best
in one and other and each deserve a slice of happiness for once in their, so
far, miserable lives.
I do feel that these books could have been released as one
lengthy one, I am unsure of the page count but I read this in a little over an
hour, like the first. When you have a story this fast paced, I personally feel
it would create more of an impact, if you read it hit after hit after hit. Anyhow,
bring on book 3.
