This was a good ending to their story. It starts off with Niklas and Caroline spending the summer together. Of course once the summer is over they have to decide on what comes next. They both have different things going on in their lives. However, by the end they both realize that their lives aren't anything without each other. ...more

I actually preferred the first book but was keen to see how they managed to get their happy ever after. It's well written and the hero is just delicious!! I was not so keen on Caroline as a lot of the time, I just could not figure out why she behaved as she did. However, Rebecca's writing is so good that you keep reading !! ...more

The book picks up in Hawaii where Niklas and Caroline are at the end of their holiday. They face the same decisions plaguing them in the previous novel: will Niklas' career and Caroline's desire to fulfil her professional dreams and choose her own path stop them from having a long-term relationship. When Niklas is offered a possible chance to get a contract with his old Detroit team and be close to Caroline, can she fit her plans into a life with him and will his problems from the past be an issue?

I had a few issues with this book that stopped me from giving it 5 stars and most of them centred around Caroline's character. I found a lot of the problems she raised were repetitive, especially if you've only recently read Book 1, which I had. She was still bringing up her past relationship with her ex, Brad, her determination to be a starving artist that makes it on her own and highlighting every negative thing that wasn't going her way without offering solutions to her dilemmas. She was very woe is me. It almost felt as though she was constantly trying to convince herself not to be with Niklas and if the author hadn't done such a solid job of describing the characters, you'd almost think she was self-destructive.

Caroline continued with her negative inner monologue that went back and forth with the 'will I or won't I' in regards to a future with Niklas. I understand that she didn't want to give up her dreams for a man only to regret it later but she really took this to the nth degree to the point where she was coming across as selfish and Niklas seemed to be the only one invested in the success of their relationship. She'd constantly go over what she perceived to be her problems (Niklaus leaving and her going her own way without him) and was pessimistic and extremely insecure which became frustrating for me to read. Caroline would make passive-aggressive comments and was constantly jealous of any female that looked at Niklas while being a little judgmental and quick to incorrectly assume what his thoughts, feelings and motives were. As you might be getting from my description, I was almost over Caroline and if it wasn't for the great role Niklas played, I might have been well and truly done.

Niklas, on the other hand, made the book. He was borderline perfection in a partner: compassionate, understanding, self-sacrificing and constantly putting himself on an emotional platter for Caroline to make her happy and feel secure in their relationship. He was always reassuring her that she was the one and, thank goodness, was the mature one in the relationship who could rationally look at their options and commit to a future as he worshipped the ground she walked on. There were some great steamy scenes as well :)

Overall, it was still a decent read, but Caroline's character started to get to me. Luckily, Niklas was a perfect book boyfriend and we were able to get a really lovely ending. ...more

Characters you care about

The author takes the time and has the talent to develop the characters as real, complicated people. I enjoyed how the woman chose to stay with her dream and her promise to herself, but still resolved her relationship. I will definitely be reading more of her books.

This book is the second part of Caroline and Nicklas's story. We followed inmediately after the "almost happy final" of book 1, but soon realize that there is much more that the couple have to face to truly have a happy ending.

We encounter the couple in a "stolen time", in "vacation". Nicklas has free time due to no-hockey season, and launched to acompany Caroline in her traveling while she does her photography. They're away from all responsibilities and the issues that can jeopardize their relationship, so is obvious that are very reluctant to return to reality. Caroline more so, that she doesn't even want to discuss what will they do after.

First of all, I have to say that after all the agnst in the first book, and the more agnst I was sure was going to be in this one...I wanted to relish a little more in their happy time than just a few pages!! Seriously!! We suffer enough in book 1, we deserved more fluffy time!! xD I agree that more than a couple of chapters would have been pointless for the plot, but still...we deserved it!!! hahah at least a more lengthy chapter with gushyness!! but well, obviously the author wanted more sustance and that the plot stays on point, because it wouldn't have really add to the story the gushiness and could've lost it's value....but we can wish :P

From there we face the reality abruptly, and not in a way that changes too drastically to believe, but in how life really works. Every bought time ends with facing all the issues and problems at once, just how it is.

The couple have to face with Nicklas career. Caroline was set on returning to her home town and searching for work around there but still open and hoping for more travel. While Nicklas have to decided if searching for a job in her hometown, return to his previous team where he would face really difficult times because of the "troubles of his past", is the right choice to continue their relantionship. Or to try to sell the idea of coming together to Sweeden is the best.

Caroline, who ran away from her previous life in search of her independency and finding out who she is, and what she really wants, is afraid of her feelings for Nicklas, to leave everything for him, and to blindly follow him. Which is what she supposely left Brad for.
And all her issues are what every young girl goes from in this age, the ones who want independency and had fears of this kind of relationships because of what they represent. Especially with that background. So well done Rebecca!!Again we identify with this amazing character!!

Also I love the other issues that the author present. Caroline's catholic background; her racial issues, to be considered the stranger in Sweeden because of her mexican legacy; the worries of her parents that are conservative and would frown upon her status (living together but no prospects of marriage) with Nicklas; her doubts and feeling conserning sex and questioning is right to feel that. Maybe now it is no so much an issue now as a few decades before, now that there is more talk about women's sexuality. But in her background, in latinamerican families, in catholic families is still an issue to have certain doubts. And I loved that the author talk about this, and in such a respecting manner, to not hurt anyone with certain views. :)

When you want independency, it's truly a fear to lose it for someone, to leave everything for the unknown, specially when you have only met the other person for a few months, is really a huge risk despite the certainty of loving him. The author really achieved their compromise in this point, so neither would resent the other for their career choices, and could make a strong foundation for their relationship.

Of course you can't forget Nicklas!! The truyly hot, sensitive hockey player who already knows Caroline is who she wants and won't doubt to do whatever necessary. I really felt for him when Caroline had her concerns and he thought that he wasn't a priority. But he truly understand her problems, which made me love him more *.* He respect her, and tried to come to a solution for them, to continue as a couple. He really was the best in every way. And a truyly romantic! haha

Again, I truly loved this book!! :D you really loved this couple because they face real issues, adult problems, and come through stronger and more in love.

totally recomend it for everyone!! :D

Now we catch up with Caroline and Niklas at the tail end of their travels and real life is looming before them. For Caroline, it means finally deciding if she'll go back to Stockholm with Niklas or stay in Detroit for a while and try to make a name for herself as a travel photographer. For Niklas, it's about either staying in Detroit to play for the Red Wings (even though he's not really so keen on the idea of returning to the team after allegation that he'd abused a woman when in reality it was one of his teammates who was the culprit, but it would mean he and Caroline could be together) or returning to Sweden to play for Djurgården, his former hockey team who've offered him a one-year contract.

Throughout the book, we see the struggle both Caroline and Niklas are having with trying to have a life together in Detroit. Her ex- is there and he's a nasty piece of work. And being back in Detroit suddenly has Caroline feeling like she cannot be the person she wants to be. But she is afraid to take the plunge and leave the security of what she knows. Niklas, on the other hand, is willing to do whatever it takes for them to be together, but he wants to know that Caroline is all-in. And sometimes it feels like she isn't, which plays into his insecurities.

I really like how this series shows the pitfalls of being in a multicultural relationship as well as what's so wonderful about it. I also like how Rebecca has created an alpha male in Niklas without turning him into an asshole. I *really* hate this alpha male as jerk trend. I don't care how good they are in bed, a jerk is a jerk. And Niklas is NOT a jerk. I also found Caroline's fear of giving herself to Niklas completely to be believable. She has had such a sheltered life--with her parents trying to make decisions for her, then Brad taking over her life and making her set aside her dreams, so it's understandable that she is afraid of the same thing happening with Niklas.

I missed more of Stockholm in this story, but I knew it would mostly take place in Michigan. Really enjoyed this story and it was wonderful to see Caroline and Niklas come full circle. Now I wonder if they'll go to Mexico together, to meet her family there. :) ...more

This is the continuation of Niklas and Caroline's whirlwind romance that we read about in book 1. Book 1 didn't end as a cliffhanger, but the author decided to continue with their story and what happens next. This can be read as a stand-alone book but to completely understand everything that is going on you should read book 1 first.

Stockholm Diaries, Caroline, wasn't meant to be a series. But not long after the book was published, some readers asked, "What happens next?" I decided it would be fun to follow the readers' question: what happens after Niklas and Caroline's (first) happily ever after?

I began by writing a short story about the next step in their relationship, and that led to lots of ideas about different possible places to pick up on their adventure. Eventually, I decided to set a lot of the second novel in Detr ...more

The story was interesting but I was irritated with Caroline.
She just couldn't see the bigger picture.
You have to love the patience of Niklas.
I feel he is too good for her.
I do enjoy Rebecca Hunter's writing style even though I wasn't fussed on Caroline.
This series will appeal to those that have the travel bug.
