I'm liking this series, the continuing saga of Mark and Pearce... Mark is still sweet, Pearce is still an ass. I have hopes that at some point Pearce will get a clue, but it's fun to watch their story!Pearce is grouchy, bored and grumpy in this story, frustrated with his boss holding him back from work. Mark tries to be patient, but it's hard when he thinks he's being stalked!Not a long story, but a good one! As adorable as the cover is, and as much as I liked the first one, this book fell flat. The thriller part fizzles. There is little excitement. Much of it felt contrived, like the publisher demanded a sequel and Edwards had to come up with something. I still love the characters. They're both so freakin' sweet it's ridiculous. Too sweet. Any time there was any tension between the two of them it was dealt with almost immediately. There was little conflict and all resolution. I wanted them to not be quite as mature for just five minutes. It's tiring reading about grown-ups who are always grown-ups in a romance. ;) I do like how something from the first book was pulled in that had nothing to do with the first plot. I didn't like how they kept talking about the first book's plot and nothing related really happened. I thought the end "battle" was boring and too quick without enough danger and fear and peril. But the romance between the men is so sweet as I said, and how the two handled their own personal issues was very nice. If I hadn't read the first book I would only give this two stars. Because I did, I'm giving it 2.5. I'm rounding up to three because I do think they're adorable and that's what I'm really looking for in a book. Mostly.
What do You think about Shacked Up (2012)?
Another good book. I love the relationship between them.

Sequels usually suck. This one did not. YAY!
