Okay compared to book one this one was good but not as good as the stalker situation in book one.
I did enjoy Sean and Xander getting to know each other better and leaning on one anther to get through this tough time. I am hoping this last book has a little more action instead of the main conflict in this one.

Hmmmmm? Huh
Ok. There really wasn't any plot to this book, street the first book which was all plot, kind of. This book was xander and sean freaking with the damage they took im at the end of book one all while falling even more in love. We finally got some sex at about the 80% mark. So yeah this series has been a slow burn . We ended on a cliffhanger i really don't care all that much about so u won't be biting my nails to find out what happens but i will read the third book when it comes out.

Que le temps m'a semblé long à attendre ce 2ème tome ! J'ai beau savoir qu'Ella Frank est la championne des cliffhangers de la mort qui tue, j'ai beau m'y préparer, la fin du 1er tome a quand même été rude à encaisser, j'avais vraiment, vraiment hâte de lire la suite !!
La suite, la voici donc, on reprend quelques heures à peine là où on s'était arrêtés. Et le moins qu'on puisse dire c'est que Xander morfle tout autant que Sean dans cette histoire, et même bien plus. Tout au long de ce tome, on le voit lutter avec le stress post-traumatique lié à tous les évènements du tome 1, et surtout à ce qui est arrivé à Sean. Ajoutons aussi à cela l'intense culpabilité qu'il ressent ... Pauvre Xander, il m'a vraiment fait de la peine. Sean est d'une gentillesse qui m'a fait fondre, il continue à prendre soin de Xander, il lui apporte un soutien indéfectible, c'est vraiment un mec en or.
La romance prend de l'ampleur, j'ai été complètement charmée par ce couple, touchée par leur histoire. J'ai adoré leur complicité, cette façon qu'ils ont de se redécouvrir est émouvante et adorable. J'ai fondu aussi pour tous les petits gestes tendres qu'ils s'échangent (eh ouais, pour moi, un petit bisou sur la joue l'emporte sur une grosse pelle torride), c'est vraiment doux et en même temps, c'est très sexy aussi de les voir se découvrir plus intimement, d'autant que pour Sean, c'est une première d'avoir des relations intimes avec un homme. Et il s'en sort comme un champion !
Ce que j'ai aimé aussi, c'est qu'ils montrent à l'autre leur vulnérabilité, on est dans un registre moins ... "tapageur" que dans les derniers livres que Ella a co-écrit avec Brooke, c'est plus ... humain en fait, j'ai adoré ça.
J'ai vraiment tout aimé dans ce livre, j'ai vraiment adoré découvrir chacune des petites attentions de Sean, qui est à des kilomètres de l'attitude de "Detective Dick" qu'il avait dans les tomes consacrés à son frère, et c'est chouette de voir Xander abaisser sa garde et se dépouiller de son air de superstar du JT, de cet air d'arrogance et d'invulnérabilité à toute épreuve. Sean et lui forment vraiment un beau couple, j'ai savouré chacune des pages de ce tome, et forcément, je suis déjà très impatiente de lire le troisième et dernier tome.

This second installment starts where [b:Inside Affair|53341947|Inside Affair (Prime Time, #1)|Ella Frank|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1589207131l/53341947._SY75_.jpg|82012808] stops.
It’s all about hurt comfort, physical and psychological healing, and the burgeoning feelings between Sean and Xander.
Of course, it was quite lovely watching these two undergo various epiphanies, and the lust and emotions further deepen. Sean and Xander’s evolving relationship and smexy exploration is overall smooth sailing, but this ends on a light cliffie with a disappointing contrived conflict that won’t last and really, won’t test their bond.
Regardless, despite that one niggle, this was very sweet and yummy when it solely focused on their intimate development, and I’m looking forward to the conclusion!

After the main plot was carried out in the first book I was curious to see what this book would be about and ive come to the conclusion Im just not so in love or invested in these characters. I dont think ill continue with the last book bc I just dont care enough even though these are quick easy reads. Sean and Xander are cute but not enough to hold my attention and this is a bit of a spin off but as a reader im not even that interested in the familial relationship part either. Like do I care that Xander was with Seans little brother? not really?? But now that lil bro knows hes mad and that looks like the main driving factor for the last book and im like he will get over it since he already found love with another man. I just dont feel the need to read about it. I like the idea of Xander being an anchorman i think that was really cool and not something i read about often but still the plot and characters seemed to lack some depth when it came to some things and its personally not holding my attention.

I loved the continuation of Sean and Xander's story! It was beautiful and steamy, just the right combo for this budding relationship.
Breaking News picked up right where Inside Affair left off, as this is a continuation of a trilogy. This is a story of healing, both emotionally and physically and it's also a beautiful story of love.
This is Sean Bailey's first relationship with a man and even though he's known Xander his entire life it's just been recently and through this time together that he's even noticed this attraction to Xander. We left them in book one just admitting this attraction to one another before Xander's stalker attacked and stabbed Sean. Now as Sean is left to physically heal from his wounds, Xander has emotional wounds to clear from his mind.
Breaking News has steamy moments, but this story is even more about two men falling in love and really discovering one another emotionally, even though they've known each other their entire lives. I love how their blinders are slowly removed, little by little, as they open their hearts and really get to know one another.
Their next hurdle, now that there is no longer a stalker and that they realize their attraction is not just close proximity, but true want is letting their friends, family, and the public know about their relationship. This may test their new found love more than anything has yet.
I'm looking forward to see how their relationship is put to the test in the final book, Headlines.
