Having settled together Tobias and Noah are now exploring their boundaries, Noah is working on his trust issues and Tobias is trying to adjust to being a full time Dom once again and the novel begins to focus more on Tobias this time around.
They pair move towards finalising their relationship and Tobias finally collars Tobias officially. I enjoy the pacing of the series which reads more like one long epic rather than a series of events, many other novels would have the main pairing rushing into confessions of love well before the epilogue but book 2 takes the time to develop this relationship between the pair.

I respect the meticulous approach to the BDSM lifestyle, but I felt this book too long and tedious; I ended up getting bored. I'm putting this series aside; maybe I'll pick it up later.

This second book in the series continues the story of Tobias and Noah. There is a strong focus on emotional growth with both men getting a better understanding of what drives their behavior. I like the way this story equally focuses on both the Dom and the sub, with Tobias (the Dom) acknowledging he is not perfect and striving to better himself. I may be a softie but I also like the balance between the discipline/punishment and making love.

Great second book and the audio is well done.
I love Noah. He really is a beautiful soul. He just fits so well into his submission, and when he stops trying so hard it just naturally flows.
I'm enjoying watching the progression of the relationship as in this one we dive really into the training and how it progresses to a natural partnership.
I do like Tobias as well, but there are times I really don't. There was one scene here where Noah used his safe word. Now I was really impressed with Noah here, as Tobias was extremely worried he hurt Noah and Noah made sure to let him know he hadn't but at the same time asked for time to work out his responses before they spoke about what went wrong in the scene. Noah acted here as the mature stable partner. Tobias obviously had his issues with what happened the night before and also with his relationship with Phan, but his reaction here was unacceptable. He didn't listen and basically shut down over Noah using his safe word. It was only Noah calmly reassuring him and talking it out that solved the issue.
In regards to Phan - I have a love/hate relationship with his character. I love him individually, his personality is actually infectious and fun, but I hate him in regards to his tie in with Tobias and Noah and this part of the storyline doesn't sit well with me. I feel sorry for Noah here as Tobias quite obviously has an emotional connection with Phan (which he doesn't fully comprehend the level of emotional attachment between the two of them) and Noah is kind of put in a position that he has to make a connection to Phan.
Onto the next one

A 4.5 star read. Unfortunately GR doesn't allow 1/2 stars but it didn't quite make the 5 so had to show it as a 4.
In this book the relationship grows between Tobias and Noah and Phantom is prominent towards the end. I enjoyed the New Year party and wonder if it is a sign of where things are heading now that Phantom has revealed his background and receiving help.
Have read the quick short [bc:Ratchet|8035713|Ratchet (Deviations, #2.5)|Chris Owen|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1271152992s/8035713.jpg|12649607] and will carry on with this series after a short break.

I honestly don't have the words to tell you how much I loved this book. This series is truly just getting better and better. Again it is firmly on my favourites shelf!
Again we get to spend time with Tobias and Noah. Their relationship is growing constantly, but not without some bumps along the way. Again Chris and Jodi make us a part of this relationship. We learn some of the motivations behind Tobias' actions and watch Noah grow in his role as well. We're also a part of their love story as it grows stronger daily.
The BDSM scenes are extremely hot, as is the sex! At times I felt I really needed a cold shower...

Great read. This series is perfect if you're looking for BDSM that has the feelings, but the MC's do nothing more than wobble - they're solid together, so there's little angst really. The hot sex is *definitely* there too! Noah is a sweetheart and Tobias is an adorable, yet hard, Dom who has a few issues himself, but nothing terrible and they clearly adore one another. The secondary characters are wonderful too, most notably Bradford and Phan, who provide some of the angstiness. Can't wait to read the third!
