But betrayal and disappointment are not the only feelings coursing through Gia’s veins at this point, her discovery of Jax’s true feelings for her only further complicating things and questioning her resolve to stay away from him. “I am the big bad wolf, baby.”Īt the end of Afterburn, Jax and Gia’s already shaky relationship came to a standstill after Jax put Gia’s career in jeopardy by ruining her first major business deal. Unfortunately, that was not the case for me. But while some gaps in the storyline could be justified in the first part, implying bigger and better things would be on their way and leaving the reader only hungry for more, those gaps needed to be filled and built on in the second installment for it to give us a complete and satisfying story. The very format of this two-part serial allowed it to be told at a particular pace, for the overall story to peak twice in order to accommodate both installments. I have been waiting with bated breath for the conclusion of Jax and Gia’s passionate story ever since we first met them and fell in love with them in Afterburn, their intoxicating romance taking us on a whirlwind ride from the very first scene, and that is why my expectations of this second book were mammoth. A new Sylvia Day novel is like Christmas morning in my eyes, the same kind of anticipation, excitement, pure joy leading up to it, and that is why she is one of those rare authors whose books I devour the moment they are released.
