I blacked out this weekend and read so much erotica. I really don't know what happened. I was supposed to do things oops.
As a general content warning, this does include some heavy topics including substance abuse. It's a brief mention a couple of times.
Compared to first book in the series, this one wasn't episodic and it really shows. It has a much more normal narrative structure. Of course that's not a bad thing.
It was interesting to see the events of the first book portrayed from the perspective of Mark. In the first book, he seemed abrasive and unsympathetic. He does ease up at the end because he's really just worried that Nate has gotten into drugs. We get to explore more of that in this book.
From the start, it's honestly very compelling. There's a lot of history and hurt there. Heck, the first chapter starts with a punch. When I read the synopsis as well, I was worried that is would be a little contrived. The progression events though felt very natural.
The book does tie up nicely with a HEA but not before a good amount of drama. It wasn't 100% what I was expecting from the previous book but I'm not disappointed. Surprisingly sweet!
