Finally going from fake boyfriends to the real thing, Spencer Cohen and Andrew Landon are trying to take things slow. They know what they have could be something special, and despite the flammable sexual tension, they don’t want to crash and burn.
Spencer is learning to open up and share the secrets of his past with Andrew. Afraid to put his heart on the line but unable to stop himself, Spencer knows he’s falling in love. Andrew is petrified of leaping in blindly, yet the slower they go, the faster they fall.
As they navigate their new relationship, Spencer worries Andrew will freak out when he takes on a new client. But it’s not a normal case, and Spencer soon realizes all is not what it seems. When the job takes a downward turn, Spencer and Andrew work together to help the client. They’ll need to decide if they’re ready for the next step.
REVIEW:
Spencer Cohen book 2 is not a standalone (which you might already have guessed from the title alone), it picks up moments after book 1 ended and it had all the sexy and steam the previous book didn’t. Book one focused one the getting to know you and falling in love, this one brings the steam and is mainly focused on the relationship between Spencer and Andrew. It deals with the insecurities that starting a new relationship brings.
N.R. Walker writes about real people, they have flaws and issues. They are relatable and that’s one of the reasons why I love her books so much and why I’m always picking up each and every one of her books.
I love these characters to death. They are just wonderful in so many ways. And reading (listening) to these books you become a part of the family. You laugh, hurt and hold on for dear life when you’re in the passenger seat of Cindy Crawford and Lola is driving. You are there experiencing it all with them, and to me that is the ultimate proof of a great writer.
My only niggle with this book was that it felt more like an interlude, there wasn’t much going on. Don’t get me wrong this was not by any means a bad book, I just wanted a bit more plot and less sexy times (don’t hate me), but hey you can’t have it all.
As for the narration; I’m starting to wonder i Joel Leslie can narrate a bad book, because he just nails every book I listen to that he has narrated. The voices, the emotion and the accents, they are all just spot on and pure perfection.
Spencer Cohen is a lot of fun to listen to. There is not much angst near them and are pretty much made of pure sugar, happy and smiles and just my kind of book. Book 3 here I come!
