Need by Sherri Hayes

(Finding Anna #2)

Goodreads - TWCS

SYNOPSIS:

As Brianna comes to terms with the realization that she is no longer a slave, she must figure out what she wants for her life. Forgetting her past isn’t an option. It is an integral part of who she is now, and it will forever shape her view of life. The one thing she knows is that she cannot imagine her life without the man who saved her, but can she be what he needs?


Stephan never imagined falling in love with the woman he rescued, but the thought of her no longer being part of his life is physically painful. The scars from her past continue to haunt her, and he is helpless to stop them. All he can do is try to help her work through the traumas of her past. Can he be everything she needs and help her move on?

My Review:

I loved this one just as much as the first one! But probably even more! And just like the first one, I wouldn't consider this erotica. Although it did have some sexy-times... I consider this more of a romance book with a little kinkyness.

Once again Stephan and Brianna were fabulous. Their connection/bond grew even stronger in this book. It was nice to see her growing as a character, coming out of her shell. In my first review I failed to mention my favorite side characters, Logan and Lily, and it was great to see them back. I love Lily, if she was a real person, I believe we'd be best friends.

So I was assuming this book would be all romance and good times, which it had, but what I didn't expect were the sudden "Holy shit! Did that just happen?" moments. And the little mystery throughout, and the suspense... What?! It rocked my world! I think it really added something special to the story. The author also stuck with the switching of the POV's, it was awesome, as was last time!

Also, I'm not quite sure what I was expecting for the ending, but I definitely was not expecting the ending I got. It was all cliff-hangery.. I did expect that to happen at some point in the book, but I thought it'd be a lot sooner, but I loved it. It made me want the third book even more! I absolutely can't wait for the third book.

This is gonna sound really weird, but the whole fact that she was a sex slave and was held captive for 10 months, and treated like complete shit. Like worse than a dog with a bad owner. And she made it through, even long enough for Stephan to find out about her and help her. It's just so unique. When do you ever read books about this?! Never! I haven't read one! It's just super interesting!

--I'm also on tour for this book, so be looking for that soon! I'll be having an interview with the author Sherri Hayes! Enjoy!

Just like Slave, I give it 5 stars! 

I'd definitely recommend this book, 

but be sure to read Slave first!

Have a great day!
