Book 2 starts up right where book 1 ending creating a smooth transition for the listener. The narration was great just as in book one. The storyline progresses steadily with enough twists to keep the reader invested. More men joining the Harem organically helps lend a bit of reality to the story. While the relationships progress quickly there is some push back from the potential bond mates and it lends some much needed friction for Claire’s journey. I enjoyed this book immensely and can’t wait to listen to book 3.
