Darcy
and Ryan found something special in each other, something
they hoped would last a lifetime. Darcy learned to give up
some control to Ryan but not enough to show Ryan he’s really
committed to what they have. Each man is trying to figure
out their role in their relationship. Even though it was
defined from the beginning that Ryan held the dominant role
especially in the bedroom, a deeper look into what they
really need show that things will have to change in order
for their relationship to survive.
With the
visit of Darcy’s brother Martin and Ryan’s ex-boyfriend
resurfacing, Darcy and Ryan’s seemingly solid relationship
may face a test it just might not survive.
So
Much More Than Naked II is a lovely surprise sequel
to a story I very much adored. This is a very emotional
sequel as was the prequel, but this got to me more because
it was Ryan who fell apart. I felt Ryan and Darcy’s
situation flipped from the previous book, to where Ryan was
the emotionally needy one. Ryan became the one to lie to
himself and pretend things were okay when they weren’t. He
was the one hiding truths of what he needed and his desires
in and out of the bedroom. His lack of trust in Darcy
regarding his dark desires surprised me. I was very
disappointed in how he handled the return of his
ex-boyfriend and his keeping Darcy in the dark.
Ryan
gave so much to Darcy, getting him to admit his sexuality
and accepting of his need to give up control once in awhile,
he knew he could have trusted Darcy as he trusted him. As
the story progressed and even though I was upset with Ryan I
began to understand where his thinking was coming from and I
felt for him and the way he was hurting, and of course I
enjoyed So Much More Than Naked II just as
much as the first story. I was also pleasantly surprised
and happy about a second romance in the story that had me
rooting for a happy ending just as much as Darcy and Ryan’s
romance. So Much More Than Naked II is a
heavy, intense and erotic story that readers of the previous
book will not want to miss. |
