I didn't like this book quite as much as I did the first one. Derek and Ruth were more settled together, even though it was clear that there were still some trust and communication issues between them. The feelings didn't seem quite as intense in this one. I'm not worried that they won't make it, but there is definitely a sense of the honeymoon being over before the marriage even takes place.

One comment. I don't mind strong language, and lots of it is okay. But I was uncomfortable with the word clit being used. It kind of jolted me. That was literally the only thing that concerned me at all.

Poppy gave me a review copy, but I bought the book as soon as it came out. ( )
