Rezension zu "HeartOn (Full Hearts Book 2)" von Amy Jo Cousins
NFL player Deion goes to visit his friends Josh and Benji in Miami, after being injured with a probably career-ending shoulder injury, where he meets Benji's friend Carlos, a set designer. Both of the guys are bi, which is something neither ever explored, and attracted to each other, so they decide to use the vacation for some no-strings attached experimentation. But things are rarely that easy, and Deion has to wonder if he even wants to go back to playing, when he could just stay in Miami near Carlos.
I did enjoy this one more than the first book, though the end pulled it down a star.
I really liked that the relationship did not happened as lightning-fast as in the first part. Technically it still happens in a rather short time frame, but it's more than just a few days, and it also takes up a all of the book. I felt the pacing was a lot better, though I thought the separate scenes where sometimes a bit choppy, and it wasn't always quite clear where and when a new scene was happening.
I really liked the MCs, the characterization was great. The author is always really good at that. Josh & Benji from the first part had plenty screen time too.
And the sex was a lot hotter this time around. It still felt realistic, just not quite so awkwardly unsexy.
But I really hated the ending. It felt like the book ran out of pages and they had to squeeze a mandatory separation and a happy end in half a chapter. I felt that really took a lot away from my enjoyment. I want to have at least a little bit of time to savor their making up, the love declarations, not just half a page at the end. I'm still pissed at that.
