Okay so to be honest, I really dislike Nathan. Yup. DO. NOT . LIKE . HIM. He is such a jack ass, way too emotional, and immensely obnoxious with his behavior. TEAM ZEFF!! Zeff is caring, funny, bad ass, and respects Alex. Seriously, as Alex would say- Piss off Nathan!

I love Nathan so the beginning of the book was hard without him! Huge cliff hanger! But GREAT book!! Too bad we will never get to read the third book.
This is honestly one of my very favorite series. I keep trying to come up with an ending in my head. I NEED to know how Alex and Nathan’s story goes. I can read these two books over and over. It’s too bad the author doesn’t care about these characters or the fans of these books anymore.

I don't know why I get the feeling that this could've been shorter. But it couldn't have because we needed to see this new relationship build. I didn't trust Zeff at all, obviously because of the dream in the beginning. But it was great to see the original couple together after they settled their problems.

Spoiler

I'm a sucker for a triangle so I'm disappointed the book ended right as the territorialness began!

I love this series. Such a wonderful story. The characters are amazing, the story has such depth and you don't want to stop reading until you finish. You feel the passion Ms. Towle puts into her writing. I can't wait for book three.

MY REVIEW
I bought this book from Amazon.co.uk as soon as it became available as after reading BK1 I couldn't wait to get my hands on BK2 to read more about Alex and Nathan.
First of all I think the cover really fits the book well, because there's the image of Alex, and the wolf in the background.
I have to admit I couldn't resist reading this one as soon as I could as I had been somewhat impatiently waiting for it.
In this book Alex has run away from the gorgeous shifter Nathan and she is using a false name, Sarah and has been moving around a lot to avoid being found by the Originals. I think part of her does wish that Nathan would find her though, as she can't get him out of her mind. Then a mysterious man appears on the scene and Alex sort of knows that there is something the man is hiding but can't quite put her finger on what. The man tells Alex his name is Zeff. I don't want to go into the plot and give too much away but will say that Zeff, who when you find out who he really is seems the most unlikely source to help Alex.
Alex is faced with a choice, thinking it's now safe because of a conversation had with Zeff for her to return to Nathan. So is it a totally happy no questions asked reunion? Come on you must have read book now, we are talking about Alex and Nathan here, stubbornness, hurt feelings and jumping to the wrong conclusions all rear their ugly heads. So do they sort it out? Read the book!
I love the way the book chapters are split, from Alex's point of view and her journey and then from Nathan's rather frustrated point of view of his never ending search for Alex. It adds to the book that we are in on the fact that Nathan is still searching for Alex even though Alex thinks he may have now given up.
I love, really love the characters of Nathan, and Alex as well as liking Jack, Craig and Scarlett. Nathan is definitely the gorgeous but doesn't really know it, guy with a bike riding bad boy edge. I am reserving judgement on Zeff at the moment, I think he has lots of secrets yet to be divulged. There's also so much more for Nathan and Alex and their extended family. Also we don't hear so much about Cal, Erin and their new baby Rose, so it would be nice to have them in BK3 too. Of course the loss of the also gorgeous good guy younger brother to Nathan, Sol is still dearly missed by the characters (and us readers!) and so is mentioned quite a lot in BK2.
So did I enjoy the book? Loved it! only disappointment I had was I wanted even more lol!
Would I recommend this book? Yes to mature teens and adults. Would I read more of the Alexandra Jones Series? Yes! Would I read more by Samantha Towle? Oh Yes!
What more can I say? I really do love this series and can't wait to read more.
