Inland Empire - James Buchanan I definitely liked this one better than the first one, Cheating Chance. For one, Brandon doesn't do any hanky panky with chicks like he did in the last one. I mean, he's still kind of an asshole but at least he kept his paws to himself. Nicky is still the same, goth and lovable. I want to marry him. *sigh* If only he was real. :-/ I still don't think Brandon deserves Nicky but by the end of the book, Brandon showed that he does love Nicky enough to prove it.

This one was definitely filled with suspense and I was left hanging on the edge of my seat a few times wondering what was going to happen next. I was captivated throughout the whole book even when I wanted to kill Brandon for hurting Nicky.

However, while the sex was hot there was just a bit too much of it for my liking. But oh, baby, was it HAWT! Nicky and Brandon's fondness for ropes and knots had me panting for more of those scenes... while I kind of just skipped the others. Lol.

Besides that, I really loved this one. I wished we saw Brandon go through experiencing what his co-workers thought of him being gay after finding out when Brandon just wouldn't let go of Nicky and almost squeezed him to death because he was so relieved. I will forever remember that moment, it was probably one of the sweetest I've read. But it was a totally aww moment when he finally just gave up and outed himself when he thought Nicky was hurt.

Overall, Brandon and Nicky, while frustrating at times, are definitely one of my favorite couples. I absolutely recommend reading this series.
