For those who follow me for a while, you know how much I loved the first volume, but especially Travis, who was my heart stroke! So when I learned that a second volume of his views was going out, I was like crazy! I thank Charlene had offered it to me for Christmas, because ... I wanted to, but REALLY! If in Volume 1 Travis was posing as the real bastard service, I knew he was hiding in fact a true heart. That's why I knew beforehand that I would like this point of view, much more than Abby! And I am not mistaken! If it is not a heart for the book, it is irretrievably a heart for Travis!
The novel begins with the prologue where we discover little Travis, who lost his mother to illness (I do spoile nothing is in Volume 1 ^^). We already feel that with these few pages, that boy really has something special, and it attaches straight to him. It is then reconsider later, in his first meeting with Abby, during a fight. Although in this volume we see the same two scenes in Volume 1, the author has managed to get it through, so they do not become the redundant and they all offer us a new version of history through the eyes and thoughts of Travis.
If as I said, in Volume 1 for more happening asshole men, here we are in the depths of him and vibrates for what he feels. It is really very endearing, but also touched by the past he has experienced. The youngest in a family of five brothers, he was hardened by the latter, which did not leave him a single chance to rest, which ultimately helped him a lot to become what it is now . Hot rabbit and with a reputation that precedes him, for him love is something he has not experienced. He never thought of falling in love, but when he meets Abby, his convictions become different and undermined.
Now his only goal is to get to know her, but especially to change. On contact, it assagira and, following a bet, will try not to jump on anything that wears a skirt. Even if it is motivated to show that a good man, Abby will not stop questioning it, and at the same time, lower it to the least thing without necessarily realizing it. If I liked Abby in the first game here in Travis's head, it really upset me. Indeed, being in the spirit of it completely changes what has been thought before him, even if I loved him a lot.
It is so touching, that on several occasions I had the tears that flowed with a heavy heart and butterflies in the stomach. Besides his strong side and sometimes violent in nature when something displeases him, he is also a real charmer and flirty. While with other boys it might look heavy, here I completely melted for his character. He managed to move me as ever, his past is really something that changed, forged but also suffer. In constant contact (or so) Abby, it will review its priorities and will realize that love can hit us unexpectedly and cause some more damage than we imagine. Several times he will do stupid things, and so he will want to do everything to make up for his mistakes. It is also that which is beautiful in this novel: it is desperate to succeed to charm the woman he loves, even spending an astronomical amount in foods is particularly fond of Abby (I must admit, this passage really made me melt, even more than the others).
The characters that gravitate around them are as interesting as in the first volume. We do not necessarily learn more about them, but we see them through the eyes of Travis. When he loves someone, he does everything to make that person happy. I really loved the relationship between Travis and his cousin Shep. America is always so full of life, but oddly, in this opus she a little nervous, because she pissed Travis (me, love? Yes, completely!)
And the big, big, big plus of this second volume is the epilogue, a few years later. It made me go through so many feelings woh. If this novel was a heart shot, it would have been only through this epilogue, which, it must be said, really, really dreaming! View Abby Travis and several years later it's like ... as if the story did not end there, that was something else afterwards, as if these characters, though fictional, were in fact real indeed and we saw them live their lives in front of us.
In summary, this second volume was so passed by different feelings, I'm not at all objective about my opinion. But I do not care, because you're going to buy (two volumes, of course), to discover them, devour them, enjoy the characters, especially Travis (but not fall in love, because it's mine, so if !), and tell me that I was right to make you crack (it's nice to make plans on the comet ^^). Anyway, you'll understand that this sequel is really a very nice discovery, and although it is not a heart shot, Travis was able to steal mine heart. Is there such a French man? If so, I would be interested!
