This book pretty much rounds out the back stories of the two main characters and delves just a little bit into their "happily ever after". The 1st book had me blushing but this book had me saying 'AIt didn't give anything away from book two and only referenced events from it 2 or 3 times overall in the book and it went over my head since it didn't go into any detail. I expected this book to be along the same lines as the first however it was much more tame in the sex department than I expected after reading the 1st book. 29,809 Ratings 2,252 Reviews published 2015 19 editions I've got a big.ego and an even bigger bank accou Want to Read Rate it: Book 2 Dirty Pleasures by Meghan March 4.
