Warning: Contains
spoilers from the first book.
Why does the model on the cover have black hair when your MC
has blonde??? Ugh, anyway…
Well, we’re slowly getting better. Part 2 of the Connections series picks up right where
the first left off, River and Dahlia are about to head to Vegas to get married
when Dahlia gets a phone call that changes everything: Ben’s alive. So of
course the wedding’s put on hold, emotions are thrown out of whack, everything
is drama drama drama, but unlike the first book, there’s at least a reason for
the drama.
The book is told from mostly Dahlia’s POV’s, with entries from
Ben’s journals. It was an interesting way to introduce the character of Ben.
The ending of the first book was a journal entry of Ben’s explaining why he faked
his death and here we are told of his journey back into his life through his
diary. First off, he keeps a diary – wait sorry, journal? And also, what did
Dahlia ever see in him? He’s a grade A asshole. Everything that came out of his
mouth just made me want to cringe. His main goal is to get Dahlia back just to
get her back. I don’t honestly believe that he loves her, she’s just a possession
to him. It’s sick.
River and Dahlia’s relationship is also explored more here.
We finally move from just sex to angry sex, make up sex, sex instead of
talking, and of course sex for the sake of sex. Dahlia spends the whole time
running from any type of serious conversation with River about Ben because she’s
scared of what will happen. When she does try to talk to him, it turns into a
sex scene. Then when River tries to leave the conversation, she gets pissed
that he’s constantly running away. Umm, excuse me? What have you been doing
this entire time? Oh yeah, running.
The mystery of how Ben knows River’s family is finally
explained (called it in the first book). The music references still drown out
the actually scenes they’re in. Dahlia finally makes a decision between the two
and life goes on. Slightly better than the first and I’m glad to see the author
progressing, but still not one I would recommend.
I received a copy of this novel from the publisher in exchange for a honest review.
