This is the 2nd book in this lesbian romance series about the lives of employees and members of a woman-owned, women-only gym with a strong sense of community.
Scott brings the well fleshed out characters to life, imbuing them with real-world situations and issues. This is a stand-alone read but I think it's more enjoyable if you've already read the 1st book. Amy StarrBloody Marvellous! This sapphic romance book was great, I couldn't put it down. Great storyline and characters, well written. Second in the series can't wait for the third. MandyThis series has been more than powerful! The MC works so well together, they are made for each other, just a perfect fit! This lesbian romance story has so many layers when you think the story is heading one way Ruby smoothly peels that layer and present you with another one.
There is a little bit of angst, I realized I was holding my breath for a moment, but it's a story full of love, empathy, friendship, and understanding it felt real, natural... Taking into consideration that it's a book with less than 200 pages it is well written and develops you don't feel the author is rushing things up and trying to wrap up the story. Even though is part of a series you can read it as a stand-alone.
I must confess that it took me by surprise getting to know the real Abs, it wasn't what I pictured in the first book I definitely underestimate the character. Last but not less important the story has the "Sexy Ruby Stamp"Pattz
