I was interested in Deke's story when I read the first book in the series. Possession felt more like a contemporary romance, than an erotic romance. After reading book 1, Infatuation, which had some smoking hot sex scenes, I was expecting Possession to be sizzling! The sex scenes were okay but not as hot as I thought it would be. And something was missing from Deke's character that made me like him in the first book. I can't quite put my finger on it. I found myself more interested in the supporting characters than Deke and Sam's relationship. Either way, the book was okay but not as good as the first one. I'm definitely looking forward to reading Mal's book.
