Personally I find J. L. Langley's writing beautiful and easy to read.  She has a wild imagination and a talent for portraying even the most fictitious ideas in a vivid and elegant manner. This book was, in my opinion, far superior to her first novel in this series: "Without Reservations". Though it is a continuing story, it branches off into a character that did not play a very large role in the first book nor was he highly thought of...  We discover this character--Remi--to be far deeper and more complex than we had imagined! The tragedies in the telling of the tale are compelling and the dynamic between the werewolf aspect as well as his dominate/submissive relationship with his mate Jake, are among my favorite qualities of this novel! Suffice it to say, that I have read this book more times than I care to say, craving not only the extremely erotic romance of it, but the trials and tribulations where the good eventually conquers over evil! LOVE this book! Highly recommend it!
