Question P

[Jonetta]

If this is a reread for you, did reading the prequel first make a difference? If it’s your first time, did the prequel help them falling for each other so quickly more believable?

[Anita]

Reading the prequel first made a difference for me. I was a lot angrier about the missing eight years. Reading about that gap the first time didn't really register as strongly and having read the story in the prequel, I was really mad and sad for them.

[Charlene]

Yes, I had read this book several years ago and was not overly impressed by it, which was a disappointment. Having read the prequel made a lot more sense of this story.

[Jonetta]

The first time I read this (without the prequel), I had a tough time understanding this deep level of feelings that Nick and Sam “suddenly” had for each other. Reading the prequel definitely made this less “insta-love” and had me rooting for them very differently. The romance worked this time around.

And, it made me despise Peter early on and put him on my suspect list.

[Lauren]

Yes, reading the prequel made a difference. I had a better understanding of Nick and Sam's intense attraction and emotional connection after. The first time around, their almost insta-love relationship seemed very flimsy to me.

[Robin]

I think the prequel helped explain the sudden deep attraction between Nick and Sam.

[Sharon]

The prequel filled in some blanks, but not enough for me. I'm not a big fan of this story, but I see the potential.
