This is book #2 in the Choices trilogy and you must really read book #1 as this follows on from there and as such, this review may contain some spoilers, although I will do my best to keep them to a minimum.
Ooh! I loved this book! There are more ups and downs than a twisting roller coaster.
Bethany has been swept off her feet and although things haven't always been smooth sailing, things are looking up...if only she can get the dominant man in her life to relax his iron fist slightly.
Although I liked Daniel in book #1, he really comes into his own in book #2. He's sometimes a little too forceful but in his heart, he does all he does because he cares.
Bethany has her own ghosts and issues to overcome but just when things seem to be going so well, she gets thrown another curve ball. Her self-sabotage threatens to end things for good but she under estimates Daniel's tenacity.
With outside forces interfering, her own issues become less all encompassing and it looks like they may have reached an impasse.
There are some editing issues in this book but as this is an ARC, I'm sure they'll be ironed out before the book is published.
With the way things have been left - with a heart-stopping conflict - I can't wait to start book #3 (The Only Choice) which is ready and waiting for me to read.

Reading on
Pretty good the real drama doesn't really start until the end. At least it gives a real cliffhanger at the end of this book.

** Provided on behalf of the author for an honest review **
The second book in the Choices Trilogy left us spellbound.
We are once again drawn into Bethany and Daniel’s lives.
Bethany has survived the sinister antics of her deranged sister, saved by Daniel. Things run smoothly for them both for a while until Daniels ex reappears and asks for his assistance.
When Daniel offers his help to Angel, he can’t understand why Bethany sees this as a total deal breaker.
Are we all destined to live our lives as our pasts see fit?
Should we let our pasts define our future?
Is there always a chance to correct past wrong doings?
Fortunately, there’s the final instalment to this trilogy to hopefully answer these questions.
We loved being smack bang in the middle of Daniels and Bethany’s story. We think you would be hard up to find anyone who couldn't relate to some part of their story.
An absolute definite read for anyone who has had to fight for anything in their lives.
A very powerful read and we wish we could rate it higher than a 5 star read.
A definite MUST read.
A HUGE 5 star read.

My comments apply to all three parts in the series.
This trilogy by Dee Palmer started out great as in fulfilling all of my guilty pleasure tropes in one delicious romance. Dirty, kinky billionaire meets virginal, sexually corruptable damsel in distress. Unfortunately, in part two and three the mini-series forfeited its new favourite status and what remained was me wanting to slap the hero silly. He's full of mistrust and prefers to believe the heroine's evil sister. And not enough, in part three he wants to give his sperm to his ex girlfriend as he ridiculously blames himself for the child she lost during pregnancy. And for all that the hero was supposed to be a kinky bastard, the BDSM scenes in these books are at best tame or were replaced by vanilla scenes. B+ for part one, C for part two, D- for part three.

Oh my what an emotion, sexy and a bit twist of a book this was to read! I couldn't get enough of the sexy alpha man Daniel, but at times I wanted to smack him stupid! But Bethany is one lucky girl, although I think my claws would have come out a lot sooner then hers! This book is more of the balance that they figure out together and then of course there's the crazy twist that makes you want to jump right into the book! I can't wait to get reading the next book!

Well we continue on with Daniel and Bethany they are doing well. I'm so happy this is hot! Secrets from the past are revealed I want to punch someone! Omg really! AHHH We are introduced to some great me characters oh I'm liking this Ethan yes please. Not going to lie I'm feeling like switching teams! I think Bethany needs a wake up call!
July 10, 2016
this book didn't seem to have too much drama till the end still an excellent book just a little less drama than the first or third one. Daniel has pissed me off till no end and still doing so in the 3rd book. ugh! this is a must read trilogy!
December 17, 2015
These 2 ...I'm not sure if I want to squeeze them right OR shake them ..DANIEL...Daniel ....Daniel....I definitely want to shake him ...after this one ....
We learn a lot more about Daniel's past in this second installment of this series...and like most people's past it can come back to bite you in the butt and NOT in a good way ...
I'm guessing this author must not be American cause some of the terms and things were lost on me ...but I just looked them up and kept reading ...can't let something like that stop a GREAT book ...cause that's what these are ...GREAT reads...well told story ...well thought out plots and DEEP in depth characters ..LOVED IT...can't wait to dig in to BOOK 3...Recommended Read!!!

I know it only came out yesterday but I have been really looking forward to this and I read none stop. I have the bags under my eyes to prove it. Was is worth it? Hell yeah!!! Couldn't put it down, none of the middle book flatness that can come with trying to stretch a story over three books when it could be done in two. I could read this all over again right now. I just hope the next one is really out in May because man that ending. Loved it in case you are not getting that go buy it now!!
April 26, 2015
This book was amazing!! It pulled at my heartstrings and left me gasping more than once but the hot alpha male that is Daniel Stone will make you fall in love with him he is a man who always gets what he wants in life but he meets his match in Bethany but he totally consumes her as he will you if you read this book so please don't hesitate to buy this book a fantastic read!! Well done Dee Palmer❤️

I'm not a fast reader but luckily we've had a bank holiday so I was able to non stop read this little number. Dee didn't disappoint, this book is so good, smart and sexy. I fell more in love with the characters as they try to move their relationship on, Daniel is super hot and more than enough Alpha for me thank you very much. Perhaps a little dirtier than the first but i'm not complaining! Really great series can't wait to see where Dee takes us..seriously after that ending I CANT WAIT!!

I loved how this book showcased Daniel and Bethany's relationship. The banter between the two is hot, the sex between them is hot and the drama around them is always entertaining. Of course I was waiting for the other shoe to drop and who would have thought being "selfless" would be misunderstood as being selfish in a twisted way. I do hope things work out between Daniel and Bets. I'm sure the third book promises answers to all my questions and suspicions.
April 29, 2015
Oh my!!! Could not put this down! Loved the pace and the passion. The characters I just fell more in love with and I didn't want it to end I certainly didn't want it to end like that!!! Damn you Dee my heart hurts and literally can not wait for May. I don't get to read a great deal but if you had to pick one trilogy this year or the next pick up The Choices Trilogy-you won't be disappointed.

OMG this book got getting deeper and deeper by the page! Absolutely loving the characters although extremely frustrating at times! Daniel is soooo hot! I have to say i wanted to scream when this finished ! Dee Palmer how dare you leave me hanging on such a fine thread! Am now desperate for book 3! Get it out !
August 10, 2015
Again I loved this trilogy so much I finished all three full length books in a weekend!! Dee Palmer not only gives you two main characters to love but also many secondary ones to love and hate! There are so many layers to this story that once you start it's almost impossible to stop reading until you finish the series!
Thanks again Dee❤️
Thanks again Dee❤️

Urggghhh this book!!! I absolutely loved this book, the romance, the chemistry, the story was all perfect. I loved Daniel from the start of the first book and continued to do so until this book. I have never been so tempted to throw my kindle at the wall. Full of ups and downs, misunderstandings and Daniel been Daniel, this book sucked me in and spat me out. Absolutely love this series.
April 25, 2015
I was privileged enough to get an ARC of this book. Dee does it again with this one. There is no disappoint in this book. Daniel is just as hot and dominat in this one. Don't hesitate to buy this book.
May 7, 2015
Was wishing the days away for this book to download on my kindle.i lost hours and wasn't very family friendly for 4 days.wow,how can you leave poor Bethany hanging and distraught like that,mean.i really need third book now!!
September 6, 2015
Omg! This booked upped the anti a bit from book 1 and had me hooked. I feel so invested in the characters that I constantly need more. Not liking Daniel as much as I want to and seriously detesting angel.

Always A Choice (The Choices Trilogy Book #2) by Dee Palmer
• Trust
WOW! This series has a real gripping storyline, it'll get its hooks into you and won't let you loose until the end... Well honestly, not then because you'll want to know what happens with the next part of the series! This is an emotional love story. Bethany and Daniel's chemistry is off the charts, but is it enough? Can overprotective, dominant, stalker type alpha male Daniel and easy going broken girl rebuilding her life Bethany happily build their lives together and have their happily ever after or is it just for now? Every relationship has issues with ups and downs. But which side of the heart will they fall on on the end that matters. You'll have to read ALWAYS A CHOICE to find out where they end up. I laughed, smiled a lot, cried, got extremely upset... Ok fighting mad... Emotions felt like the waves of the ocean--- calm and relaxing to a raging storm! She makes you feel as though you're right there beside them throughout the book.
Although this is a trilogy, it's not a cliffhanger, so you could stop with book one. But I wanted to keep reading all the way through without stopping. That includes to eat, do laundry or honestly sleep... Yep it has me hooked. Be prepared, Bethany & Daniel's chemistry doesn't just sizzle, as it throws bolts at you it'll burn you through your kindle. It is very well written and flows nicely, it's mysterious, but promises more in the future, time to read THE ONLY CHOICE (Book 3 the conclusion of this topology).
This book uses British/UK spellings and references.This book scrapes the surface of BDSM and showing domination and submission, Due to explicit sexual content and adult language this novel is recommended for readers 18 and older. I

I enjoyed book one and I have to say that the story stepped up a bit in this second instalment. I found this book to be truly captivating and had trouble putting it down. I have given it 4 stars as to be honest any book has to be outstanding to get a 5 from me. These books are well written and to be honest as a Brit it made a refreshing change to not be in some American state, not that I don't enjoy a number of US authors it was just a nice change to understand all the vernacular.
There were times when I truly wanted to bash Daniel and Bets heads together but I guess that is the true talent of an author. I really connected with both our hero and heroine and found myself reading into the small hours (eyes hanging out of my head after only 4 hours sleep!).
I would say if you are looking for a BDSM romance this is not it, there are the occasional bondage/whipping/spanking scenes, however the majority of the sex scenes are technically vanilla. Having said that, they are hot and you do feel the chemistry and also the heartache with these two. I swung from belly laughs to tears streaming down my face.a
Good job Dee, now onto the next book!

I think im done reading the series after this book. Personally it was a pain to get through and left me very disappointed with the main couple. Daniel is a total asshole and is manipulative and straight up selfish. He's so controlling he feels the need to track Bethany's every movement and control her life and he's been like this since the first book. This upsets me because Bethany seems like a strong herorine and for her to continue getting upset with him for his lies but then taking him back it just makes her look so damn stupid. Also daniel offering to be a sperm donor is so stupid and SELFISH he didnt even bother asking Bethany beforehand...I honestly hate their relationship and I feel like the many plot lines through out the book seem random and just added for drama purposes. This book had potential but i just can't with Daniel and Bethany's relationship its so unhealthy and any women who happens to meet a guy like Daniel should run far away.

So good and yet SO frustrating.
It was great all the way up til the end which was a cliffhanger and a WTF moment for sure!
As soon as I finished, I had to start reading book 3 because I must know what happens right now!! Although I had put book 3 down because I found myself skip reading because I was infuriated with Daniel's choice and Bethany's responses. So this is a warning for those that read this book, read it early in the day so you can grab book 3 and read it SLOWLY so you don't devour it for information.

Talk about emotional. I am crying just writing this.
The challenges that Daniel and Bethany face are heartbreaking and not fair.
A definite must read.

Slow to start but gripping the rest of the way.
Daniel is a grade A dick and really is dense sometimes. I wanted to reach in and kick him in a balls ALOT.
I swear to Christ he better pull his finger out in book 3.
Bethany deserves it....

Wow this story took a turn.. It just blew me away. I'll admit this story is very engaging and it will grab you and won't let go. I'll be honest here though.. It's not terribly bad but some editing is needed. That said, on to the next book.
