Unleashed: Volume 2

Rate this book
Enjoy the heat as the bargain begins, and finally discover what went down between Declan and Kara during those long, hot summer nights six years ago on the ranch.

Declan
I finally had her, the woman I’d craved for years. Under my control, within my power for one week. She was a born sub, she just didn’t know it yet. She needed her dom to train her, teach her how much she needed to serve. I had one whole week to unleash the pleasure bound up within her, the passion only I could set free.
I was a dark, tortured beast. I knew she was too good for me, for this. But just because you knew better didn’t mean you’d change your ways. I’d had years to cultivate dark fantasies and I planned to execute them all. I’d bind this princess, blindfold her, torment her with wave after wave of shuddering ecstasy. And I’d make her beg for it.

Kara
I couldn’t believe I’d said yes. One week of no-holds-barred sex, agreeing to serve a wealthy, powerful, alpha, dominant man? That kind of thing only happened in books. I didn’t do things like that. I was a good girl, the ice princess famous for shutting men down.
Only I had said yes. Declan was about to begin my training. And I wanted it so badly.
Now I just had to make sure I didn’t lose my heart to him. Again. Because six years ago, that summer I was 18, I’d fallen for him so hard. I was still picking up the shattered bits of my heart from where he’d smashed it on the rocks. I had to be insane to agree to this. The stakes were too high. But I couldn’t say no.


NOTE: Unleashed is a four-volume story launching the Beg for It series about the hot, alpha males in Declan's family and the battles they wage with the strong, sexy women who make them finally meet their match.

Callie Harper unleashes a new sexy installment as she turns up the heat once again as two lives comes crashing back together. In UNLEASHED:Volume Two, Ms. Harper reunites readers to the continuation of Declan and Kara.

In this second volume, Ms. Harper continues to tell the story of Declan and Kara in the same format as before with intertwining the past and the present. Before Declan became a successful real estate entrepreneur, he was a young 21 year old ranch hand who was dirt poor trying to make a better life for himself. He knew he had to save enough money working on the ranch. But saving money was not the issue for Declan, it was staying away from the ranch owner's daughter, Kara.

So fast forward six years later and Kara needs financial help in order to keep her ranch afloat. And the only person she could ask for help was Declan, who has now become one of the wealthiest man of Montana. When she goes to see Declan, he offers her a proposition. One week she would belong to him. Can Kara fully submit to Declan... mind, body and soul? But how far will Declan take it once he realizes the magnitude of his feelings for Kara? Will Kara destroy and break down the walls that Declan has built? Will this one week be the game changer?

 photo aac01a9cef35de86016c0c4baabac2_zpslgpygqlv.gif There was no way I could let myself fall for him again. The first time around, the crash and burn had been so painful. This time around, I was pretty sure the damage would be irreparable."


While I enjoy the back and forth of present and past, I wished the author sticked more to the present time since I am already aware that Declan and Kara had this sexual chemistry from the past. I am more interested in the NOW moment so I really hope in the next two final installments that Ms. Harper focuses more of the present moment. I don't mind glimpses of the past every now and then but I don't want it to be the sole focus of the book.Overall, the second installment was just okay for me. It was nothing that really made me say wow but I definitely would like to see the outcome of how the author wraps up their story. I hope the author showcases more of Kara and Declan of the present time and the emotional and sexual connection that unites them.

Remember that this is a serial novel and MUST be read in order! There may be some spoilers in this review if you have NOT read part 1. I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.
At the end of book 1, Kara decided to accept Declan's offer in exchange for the money to keep her family's ranch afloat. We really get to know the history between these two in this one. It flashes back and forth between the present and the past.
I don't understand Declan's need to "prove" himself to Kara. She never looked down on him in any way, in fact, I believe she loved him. Yes, she was young. But her feelings were true, and she loved him just the way he was. There isn't any need for him to flaunt his financial success when that was never anything she cared about when she fell for him. After finding out why he left so abruptly like he did I completely understand why he did it, but since Kara doesn't know any of that I'm surprised she's willing to be anywhere near him, let alone be with him intimately. Regardless of the reasons, he hurt her deeply and she still hasn't fully recovered after all these years. Not to mention all the times he purposely made sure she was aware of all his sexual exploits. He's done nothing in the past OR the present but make her feel like she's nothing to him. Just another body that he wants. Admittedly, their sex here in the present is smoldering...but Kara's heart is in it 100%. I don't think it's the same for Declan.
He tells us that he hasn't ever been able to forget her...yet he's had countless sexual relationships with woman after woman without any difficulty. While Kara admits to not being able to have a relationship with anyone because the bottom line is her heart is still with Declan. That really bothers me. It puts her in a position to be hurt again; she's hurting already and their "deal" isn't even over yet. She's trying to make the best of it but she knows she feels more than he does.
As the book goes on it seems to be getting harder for him to put his feelings for her aside, but he's still adamant about using her the way he wants , giving her the money, then being done with her. I really hope that's not the way it goes down because I don't want to see him break her all over again.
I'm ready for book 3 so I can find out if Declan is going to allow his cold heart to thaw and let himself feel for her.

5 Spank Me. Dominate Me. Possess Me Stars!!

We left off at the end of Unleashed on a bit of teasing
climax <--- see what I did there? The end had me going...“Oh yes! Yes! Yes! Do it!” Declan had a proposition for Kara. He would loan her the money to help get her father’s ranch out of bankruptcy....on one condition. Seven days and seven nights of no-holds-barred submission to his dominance. In other words, he wants her to be his submissive. Hell to the YEAH! Thank Christ and all that is holy she said YES! Oh GOD. YES.

Now. Here’s the thing. She still LOVES him. After all this time, SIX FUCKING YEARS later, and she still loves him. Oh Kara, you sweet girl. But can you blame her? HELL NO! So, the question is, will she be able to keep it strictly business? Or will her heart betray her? And Declan? He won’t stop until he possesses all of her. Every inch. Inside and out. Damn she is one lucky girl. Bring on the kinky fuckery! Now the thing is, there’s nobody to forbid them now. Nope. So, this is a good thing right? OH. YES. IT. IS.

What I loved about this book is that, like book one, it went back and forth to THEN, six years ago where their love <--- yes, I said the L word, was forbidden by Kara’s father, and NOW. In both Declan and Kara’s point of view. I absolutely LOVED how we get inside Declan’s head. We witness his feelings for Kara, these were not voiced in book one. So this was a sinful treat. So delicious!!! Just when I think I couldn’t love him anymore? Dies. Dead. Whoa!!! Did you hear that? Yeah, that was my heart exploding! With love! It’s back there somewhere in that barn with Declan and Kara. He was holding back. BIG TIME. We get to see this tortured side of him. The feelings. The longing. The passion. The craving. Oh Jesus! And the LOVE. Ahhh!! I cannot EVEN with this man. He’s a good guy, holding back, trying to do the right thing by her. And that makes me love him even more. The sexual tension and attraction is BEYOND anything I’ve read in awhile. Off the freaking charts HOT! Bloody perfection!

And let’s talk about the NOW. Oh. My. God. THE NOW. I felt like I was experiencing their pent up cravings and need for one another. Just imagine. Wanting someone for SIX YEARS and then FINALLY one day. It happens. There’s nothing stopping you. Oh god it was worth the wait. The scenes between Declan and Kara had me so swoony and lusty. I was like WHOA. This one scene.....FINALLY. Holy wow! Damn. Just. Damn. These two turned my hot spot into liquid LUST! I needed a cold shower. Not gonna lie. Whew.

Unleashed Volume Two had me seriously turned the fuck on. My mind, body and soul were consumed within the pages of this beautifully torturous love journey. Callie Harper is so masterful and provocative with her writing, she pulls you in and keeps you lusting for more. I just CANNOT get enough of these two characters! I was completely overcome with hunger and passion for Declan and Kara. I’m cheering for them and cannot wait to start volume three! This story dominated every inch of me and I freaking loved every damn minute! Bring on book three RFN!!!

Let me start out by saying that you must read Volume 1 first. When I got this on my kindle, I was prepared for the emotional trauma I would suffer after I finished it. Don't get me wrong, I freakin LOVED LOVED LOVED this Volume even more than the first one, if possible, but I just don't have the patience to wait for the next one gracefully. Callie Harper is quickly moving up the list of author trying to kill me! Declan finally has the girl he has wanted since the day he first saw her, but he knows that how he accomplished it is wrong. He just doesn't care. Kara never got over Declan, and while she knows in her mind that she needs to run, her feelings won't let her leave. Will Kara be able to handle whatever Declan throws at her, or will she run before her heart's broken again?

Character development is fantastic in this Volume, as we get more glimpses from the past that the two characters had. The highly addicting, sexy, and well written story line flows perfectly. Callie Harper has managed to reel me in hook, line, and sinker, with her talented and easy writing style. Dual POV's really make it better, if that's possible. The chemistry is absolutely tangible, leading to SCORCHIN HOT sexy scene goodness that should NEVER EVER be read in public. I'm so addicted to this series that I found myself wanting to throw myself down on the floor, kicking and screaming after I finished. Volume 3 CANNOT come out quickly enough, so I happily HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Make sure you are reading this series in order because you do need to read the previous to understand what is going on here. Book 2 picks up directly where the first release ends.

These are really hard for me to write because I feel like Im writing spoilers and I don’t like to do that. In order to review though I have to say what has happened and where we are. Declan has offered Kara a deal in order to give her the money she needs to save her fathers ranch. We also continue to move from past to present which I will tell you got very overwhelming for me. We get the picture in the first book that both characters have feelings for each other and didn’t act on them due to Karas father. I have to tell you I am NOT a fan of Harlan at all. What a douche.

You do find out in this book that Declan felt love for Kara a long time ago. Events unfold and at points I was rolling my eyes at Kara and her antics. She giggles a lot. Im truly trying to hold out and continue this series. I hope we get some more depth to the characters and quit going back and forth so much.

Thank you for the ARC – Review to post to Ramblings From Beneath The Sheets.

Vol 2 continues directly from where vol 1 ends... And WOW its one hell of a hot read! I mean panty melting breathtaking hot!!!
Declan has been infatuated with Kara since they day he started work on her fathers ranch. Growing closer and more intimate, her father sent him away!
Kara is in love and has been falling deeper with time. Not understanding why Declan just disappeared with not a single word.
6 years passed and circumstances have brought them back together, with an agreement that he will clear all her debts if she gives herself, compleate and total submission for one week.
Feelings are begin to fog their agreement and lines are getting crossed, yet they are both determined to see it through!
Declan is introducing her to his world of BDSM and she is loving it!
This book is hot as hell and will leave you literally panting, i was! The sex is off the charts and you can feel the love slowly burning in the background with them both. I really can not wait to see what happens next. I admit i am addicted to this series and i know everyone that reads it is going to feel the same!!!

And so it begins....

Warning : This book is ridiculously hot! I'm talking scorching, melt your panties, head to the store to buy an industrial vibrator and Costco multipack batteries hot!

And not to mention, the story itself is pretty amazing too. I'm in love with this series so far.

More of the past between Declan and Kara comes to light in this book and we finally get to see just how deep their connection really is. It's no wonder why the two of them are inexplicably drawn together.

Emotions run high in this installment. Both Declan and Kara are having second thoughts and doing things way beyond their comfort zones. But which will they listen to? Their heads or their hearts? Only time will tell. But rest assured, it's going to be a very naughty journey...

These characters are absolutely amazing, this story is absolutely amazing, this author is absolutely amazing. Must read series! I can't wait for more!

I was gifted a copy of this book for an honest review.
Another sexy installment to Declan and Karas story. Things are definitely more than they appear. Feeling from the past and present and complicating the arrangement that they currently have. Kara had her own reasons but now they don't seem as important she just can't do it anymore.
Declan doesn't know what or how to deal with the thoughts and emotions that are plaguing him. He knows he has to face them and put space between himself and Kara.
This installment definitely has some ups and downs
I am anxious to see what happens with this couple. Sexy doesn't describe the chemistry in this book!

I was really starting to look forward to reading this series but now im at a stand still. I felt like the two first books were about the same thing but the first one was about Kara's reluctance to start this "relationship" and now this one is about Declan's reluctance to start this "relationship" but then in the preview for the next book, it was like all the thinking and internal debating was a figment of my imagination cause Declan was right on board again...cock down her throat and all. I dunno....I just want to really get to the root of everything and start into the real plot. I also wouldn't mind seeing some anger from Kara once she knows what her father did.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The second installment of this four part series is HOT HOT HOT. After Declan strikes a deal with Kara to pay off her debts in exchange for 1 week of Kara's complete surrender to him. Kara finds herself in Declan's penthouse suite wonder what the heck happened. She is not the type of girl to do this. She is a good girl. Except everytime she thinks she can't do this, her body takes over and lets her know she can.

I am hooked on this story and I cannot wait for the next installment. Callie Harper is fast becoming one of my favorite authors.

In this part of Declan and Kara's story we get a peek at their past on the ranch where it all began. Declan was a ranch hand for her father and tried his best to make money for his future while trying to stay away from Kara.

Years later she comes back into his life and Declan has a proposition for her in exchange for the money she needs to save the ranch. Kara has put up walls to guard her heart that he broke years ago, but the fact is that she is definitely still in love with him.

I love that in this part of their story we get to see more of Declan's heart. Plus there's the kink that's scorching. I so enjoyed it.

I give Unleashed Volume 2 4 hearts!

This is the second book in a four book series, most importantly you have to read in order to completely understand the story line. The second book starts off just as the first book ends, to the time of day, which is a nice bonus. Declan and Kara are now starting their sexual relationship. They are seeing each other for the first time since Kara agreed to their “contract,” and the heat has already enveloped the pages of the book. Declan is determined to bring out the submissive side of Kara he always knew was there since he first saw her 6 years ago, but he seems to be losing his dominant edge and power over this ranch girl beauty, and trying to mentally figure out why. Well we all know why, he loves her, but just has not figured it out yet. Book 2 is told in alternating POV between Declan and Kara, as well as alternating between past and present. In Book 1 I did not care for the past POV, but in Book 2 I enjoyed it so much more. I felt the past helped define the character's complexity and answered a bunch of questions about the lust between Declan and Kara. I do feel there is too much narrative and not enough dialogue. I would like more communication between Declan and Kara and less narrative of what's inside their head, it's almost repetitive. As for the heat of the story, it is pantymelting. Most of Declan and Kara’s time together involves some form of erotic lust and passion, that Kara is finding she enjoys and does not want to end. So Declan is right, she is a natural Submissive!!!

“When you come home, you're going to model it all for me. I want to like what I see. Don’t disappoint me, or I’ll have to discipline you.”

Book 2 ends with Declan’s words, he thinks he finally made up his mind about Kara. Does he still want her? Well we have to wait for Book 3 to find out.

4 "Not a total gentleman, but a Lone Wolf" Stars


Yes, this one was much better than Volume 1. This story still has some of the lighter BDSM play and the chemistry between Declan & Kara is unlike anything either has dealt with other people. I am really starting to pull for this couple. I love the way they both can't think when they other one is around. I love Kara's heart. I love how she sees the best in Declan and can make him want to be a better man. I love how he tries to put her first. I am hoping for a HEA between them by the time this series is over. I know this couple has some more hurdles to leap and need to be honest with each other about their feelings.

Kara's daddy, Harlan pisses me off. I know he just wants the best for his daughter. So many girls don't have that kinda Daddy, I know from personal experience. But I wanted him to open his eyes & see how hard Declan worked on land that wasn't his. I wanted Harlan to see how he always went above & beyond his duties, trying to save Harlan money, repairing equipment to keep the farm running. Wanted him to see how Declan helped older Bill, how he treated other people. Losers don't work hard & yes he could be an asshole even if he did choose his moments. I wanted Harlan to see Kara tease the shit outta Declan & him resist her. Then for him to put his daughter in her place. OK, enough of my soap box about Harlan.

I will definitely be continuing in this series & have already seen tons of growth in Ms. Harper.The story is still going back & forth in time & with dual POV's. There of 4 Volumes to this story. The first 2 volumes are available now. Volume 3 will be released February 1st and Volume 4 will be released February 12th. They are both available for preorder now.

This titillating second installment of the series is hotter because the taboos span the six years from when the main characters met until now. In "Unleashed Vol. 2", as in the first installment of the series, Callie Harper uses a "time jump" device to convey the importance of their history to their present relationship. To some this approach may be disruptive to the narrative but for me it actually works better than having the back story as a separate book or section. Having the past and present back-to-back allows me to see exactly what caused the couple to separate, and why they blame each other. The dual history in each chapter also underscores how much unbridled passion Declan and Kara had in their youth and gives emphasis to how much restraint they had and didn't have on their better judgment around each other. The character growth in this novel is surprising and takes an interesting, and some what amusing turn. Kara's reluctance begins to thaw into acceptance and a sense of power. Declan is finally getting to live out his fantasies and seeing the "true" Kara emerge.
Callie Harper also reintroduces the other threat to Kara's ranch - the repugnant Lymon Culpepper, the slimy man that wants to buy Kara's home for a rock bottom price. This small name drop may go unnoticed but ... it is mentioned so he may play a significant roll in subsequent installments in the Unleashed series. "Unleashed Vol. 2" as predicted has lots more provocative, and risqué sex scenes. And as I've said before I find the duality of the Chapters, having Then and Now sections, intriguing and enlightening to how the past and present intertwine.

I just keep going back. Irritating. Again, I love the story of a young Declan and Kara, it's the now Declan that has me pulling my hair out. Which sounds like something he would be into. This review may spoil book one for those who haven't read it.

Once again Callie Harper switches between past and present to elaborate more on Declan and Kara's long lost love story. I am totally hooked by the taboo feeling the young relationship has. He's not good enough for her, she sees the good in him, you know angsty stuff. Then when we shift gears to the present, I totally hate Declan. I want him to change for Kara and he isn't doing it fast enough for me.

"I wanted to confess it all, tell her everything, make her see I was all wrong. But deep inside, part of me wanted her to help make things right." ~ Declan

Book two felt a little more like filler rather than moving the story forward. I was hoping for more background to see what makes Declan act the way he does and I got it. However not enough for me to really like him just yet. The book is steamier than the first, but then Declan goes there, and I start to skim. Been there done that with book boyfriends and not a huge fan here. I am a fan of the change. I want him to see that Kara still loves the Declan she met at eighteen and he doesn't need all of this control and theatrics for her.

"I'd gone through the last 27 years a lone wolf. I's go through however many more stretched out in front of me the exact same way." ~ Declan

Drama queen. Frustrating, that's what this story is. Frustrating because I want Declan's character a certain way, frustrating that we aren't moving forward and frustrating that I can't wait for the next installment. Fingers crossed the change is coming.

Good story of young love. This is my review from book one because it applies and Ill add on.

So we have a lovely h in Kara. Shes a sweetheart, daddys girl and although our rough H Declan thinks shes a spoiled princess shes not. Can I tell you how nice it is to read about a blonde bombshell who actually isn't a porn star or the other woman? Its actually why I have a shelf for them because they are so rare, lol.

So win on the characters, I like them both. Mostly in this story is the sweet and steamy forbidden romance of how it starts. Hes working the ranch, a 21 yr old drifter with big ideas, and shes is hands off. But she doesn't want to be. He shows a lot of restraint. Ah, young love, written well.

It also leads up to her meeting him in present day, shes going to ask him for a loan after 6 years of not seeing him. Hes accomplished the impossible with a bit of help from another rancher and has made it. He can save her. She was quite brave to do this.

So book 2, she is loving being next to Declan again, he cant believe the one that got away is so close to being within his grasp of everything she ever wanted. I liked seeing Declan get shaken up here, and seeing their young love story really play out more. He really fell for her HARD. I knew it was sweet in book one, but you really get a feel for how much he fell 6 years ago in this book, so you know he's not going to let her walk away this time. He agrees to help her out if she spends the week with him in New York, serving him BDSM style. She's completely inexperienced, I wont tell you how much because I actually thought that was awesome! Anyway things progress and does she or doesn't she agree and if she does can he handle it? Handle her? Still going strong the story. Next up book 3

I am loving this series so much. It keeps getting better and better and I seriously can't wait to get my hands on the next book in this series. I love how Callie has the story go back and forth between the past and the present. You get to get their past as we go and we start understanding more on how their feeling and why they are where they are right now. I highly recommend this series, you will love it!

In the first book I was really starting to hate Declan. His attitude and his behavior was making me want to nut punch him so hard but now getting to know what happened in the past I can somewhat understand. I still don't think he needs to prove himself to Kara, she loved him when he was a ranch hand and had nothing, him having money isn't going to make him more appealing. Declan thinks that all anyone wants is his money and that since she is coming to him for help that's all she wants as well. His feelings start getting involved and he's not sure what to do now.

Kara isn't sure if she made the right choice by agreeing to this deal but every time she starts second guessing Declan does something to change her mind or distract her. She knows that she must keep her heart from getting involved but its getting harder each day.

Will Kara be able to protect her heart this time? Will she change her mind and back out? Will Declan be able to keep feelings out of this deal? Will he stick to the deal or will he change his mind?

5 Stars!

Absolute brilliance! This book was amazing. This is a brand new author for me but denitely someone will be sticking with in the future. I love serial romance series. I am usually a hater of cliffhangers but with the popularity of these new series it was hard not to jump on the train and I am so glad I did. The books release super soon from each other and give us amazing storylines.

And this author has nailed serial series with a perfection. I love the suspense... the intensity... the steam... the romance and this book brought all of that and more. This author gave us a perfect beginning to Kara and Declan's story and set us up for some amazing books to follow. This book kept me on my toes and once I started, I didn't stop until I ha devoured every single word.

This is the second installment in Kara and Declan's story. This book picks up the pace and the steam intensifies. Declan is gonna make you want to be a very bad girl. Kara is a girl you find yourself rooting for. These two steamed up my kindle and had me flipping pages fast. Once again, get ready for the past and present with one ending that will have you begging for more.

I highly recommend this hot new series!

Hot damn! I need me a Declan!

After reading Volume 1 I was very, VERY keen to start this volume and find out what happens next for Declan and Kara, especially after Kara agreeing to Declan's offer and my god did Callie deliver! Because we pick up right where we were left opened mouth, panting and begging for more, it's easy to dive back in and lose yourself completely in every thing that's going on.

This book isn't just hot (may be a small understatement!), it's consuming and playful. It also holds answerso to the questions you still had from Volume 1. One of the things I love about this book is not only is it dual POV, so you can get into both Declan and Kara's head, but it continues to flit between their past and present. So you are learning about then and now, learning all that happened in the past to get them where they are in the here and now. It truly is an amazing to read and experience. It's so well written that you almost forget you are reading a book as you picture it all unfolding in your mind and I love learning more and more about these two.

Well done Callie on such an amazing book and I eagerly await Volume 3. Just don't makeep me wait too long!

Finally having what he wants in his grasp, he figured he would be the one with the surprises, not the other way around.
This second installment of Declan ans Kara is hotter than the first as we get more of their past and of their passion and attraction in the present. Is it destiny or something more powerful...Fate.
Okay so Callie gives us another cliffer that will have you begging for Unleashed 3 to come out faster than her hands can write! Declan is more domineering in this installment and when he Unleashes on Kara his heart takes control giving hi one hell of a ride that he thought would tear hi apart. This is all about his controlling the situation not his heart, he never thought she would give him the biggest twist of them all!
Passion, Alpha dirty talk and so much more, Declan than you could ever want!!!

This picks up right where Volume I ended, and we get both alternating POVs for both the present time frame as well when Declan and Kara knew each six years prior. We got to see a shift in their previous relationship (if you can call it that), and what exactly happened to drive them apart all those years ago.

Both Declan and Kara are rethinking their decisions to follow through with the agreement, but for different reasons. I will say that after all of the build-up in the first volume, the sexuals finally happen between Declan and Kara, and dayum, it's pretty damn hot! An unexpected discovery for Declan, but it made him act even more caveman-ish (but only internally). For all of his bravado and big talk when it comes to Kara, will he follow through with his arrangement with her?

This series must be read in order!! Volume 2 starts off exactly where you are left hanging in Volume 1.

Kara decided at the end of Book 1 she was going to take Declan's offer of 1 week do anything and everything he asks in exchange for the money to keep her family's ranch afloat. But can she carry through with it? Will she call it off before it ever really begins? She still loves Declan even after 6 years. All the lust and sexual tension between them is still there and he still holds that place in her heart that no one else has come close to.

Without saying to much and giving anything away all I can tell you is this is a must read series. I immediately had to jump into book 3 after reading this one. Whats going to happen?? I need more.. Callie you left me hanging at the end but I know the answers are to come soon!!

Holy moly, I feel like a jumping jack right now! So much heat, so much angst, so much delicious tension! Seriously I'm on fire, a burning flame of intense, hot feels.
Unleashed volume two most definitely did unleash EVERYTHING!
As with volume one we flip back between past and present from both Kara and Declan's POV. Questions are answered and relationships are set ablaze.
With each volume I love Kara even more, she's funny and sexy and sure can give Declan a run for his money!
And Declan... OMG! Callie knows how to write some seriously HOT alphas! *fans self*
And that end, I think I was screaming at my kindle - at Declan! I'm so glad I have part 3 ready!

The story picks up with Kara entering Declan's penthouse. She has agreed to the terms of the loan ...she will serve him for one week. Declan is all set to use Kara for one thing...sex. At the end of their week he'll cut her a check and send her on her way....or will he? Declan is introducing Kara into his world of BDSM, but he seems to be losing himself along the way. Lots of emotions he's never had to deal with before come to the surface. His big bad Dom self isn't what he's been like with the other women. Can he be the callous man he believes he is and just use her for a week and destroy her or must he cut her off before they even head to New York?

this is the second book in the series and again this is a fantastic story, this book carries straight on from the last book with no gaps in the story. these books must be read as a series and can not be read as a stand alone. the story evolves through out this book and again you get insights into the characters pasts as well as what's occurring in the present. this book again has the same fantastic characters and the story is so good. I just couldn't put it down till id finished it then I was waiting for book 3. I cant wait for book 3 to be available the suspense is killing me.

highly recommended

To each its own I always say! But how does everyone give this book 5 stars I don't know! I mean like before I think this story has so much potential. But wow! The story has been dragged out so much it becomes boring. You have parts of this book that dragged for up to 5-6 pages with the same topic! I mean Kara talked about it for 5 pages then you get Declan talking about it for 5 pages. The repetition was insane. I skipped so much of this book it's so sad! I really want to like this series I do! Because I loved the Stepbrother book by this author but I guess this one isn't for me

I'm giving up on this series, sorry. So many unnecessary scenes that really did not contribute to the plot but only worked to lengthen the book. Also there's too much scenes where the Hero/heroine's inner monologue ran so long I almost fell asleep. There are ones that are as long as five pages! And what really ticked me off is the fact that they're thinking the same thing over and over again. Sorry. I'm only human. It's just too tedious.

Love this series more and more with each book. I love the then and now switching in the first 2 books. It shows you the perspective of how each character as the story unfolds. Declan is so dark but still redeems himself. There is a reason why he is the way he is. He has been burnt by people that should have loved him. Kara is the light that helps Declan breaks through. The book ends on a slight cliffhanger, but is so worth it.
