A story that does not stand out with bland emotions

With normal expectations that I started this second volume, after a first volume which had left me an aftertaste of disappointment.
The story itself does not have much plot except at the end, which suggests a third volume takes much, at least I hope.
We are not disappointed sexual side, with beautiful scenes of domination by Damien, who sometimes have a therapeutic aim, indeed our dear Nikki instead of consulting a Psy prefers to tie ... For my part I find it a little agreed, as if the author wanted the hero heal their wounds of the past by sex, unfortunately we do not believe at all. Indeed they are increasingly trust and love grows but they are still disrupted.
Some of the reactions Nikki lacked fire, it undergoes an affront and 2 hours later there it is it's good she do not want it to anyone. A little fury would not hurt her feelings ... Here we seem insipid.
Certainly if based on gender erotic romance, but both were in sight of such proliferating now, the trilogy for now unfortunately does not seem to stand out.
In summary an entertaining read but lacks punch, but with hot situations and feelings agreed unsurprisingly, see without emotion. A felt in line with what I had experienced at first volume ...
