The plot definitely thickens in this second installment of The Secret Life of Amy Bensen. Ms. Jones delivered several twists and turns to the story making the mystery of Amyβs past even more intriguing. Amy now is not running from her past but running towards it. She is sick of her lonely life and she wants to find out the whyβs of it all. Ms. Jones does not hold back. She gives Amy everything she wants to know no holds bar.
Liam and Amy play more of a couple from a New Adult genre in this installment. There was a bit more angst compared to the last book. I thought the romance was not that strong in this book. It could be because I was just too focused on the twists of the story that I didnβt pay attention. But overall, Liam and Amy are hot together. Liam being super sweet and always strives to keep her safe. He really just wants to take care of her. Of course, everything he does is done in his own controlling way and Amy didnβt always agree with his tactics. But then, I didnβt always agree with Amy in her thoughts and decisions in this book either. She has a hard time trusting Liam but clearly too blind to see what is I front of her. *sigh* I guess all her doubts and βparanoiaβ are understandable given her past. Donβt get me wrong she wasnβt a βTSTLβ kind of heroine. The things she did of course played right along with the plot of the story and it worked well in the story line.
This book does answer some but not all of the readersβ questions from book one. New ones arise and will make you want the next installment ASAP. Of course, coming in to this series and knowing Ms. Jones, Iβve come to expect it. Though this series is not as good as her Inside Out series it still is a very good read.

Infinite possibilitiesβ¦.
Infinite passionβ¦..
Infinite dangerβ¦.His touch spirals through me, warm and sweet, wicked and hot. I shouldnβt trust him. I shouldnβt tell him my secrets. But how do I not when he is the reason I breathe? He is what I need.
At the young age of eighteen, tragedy and a dark secret force Lara to flee all she has known and loves to start a new life. Now years later, with a new identity as Amy, sheβs finally dared to believe she is forgottenβeven if she cannot forget. But just when she lets down her guard, the ghosts of her past are quick to punish her, forcing her back on the run.
On a plane, struggling to face the devastation of losing everything again and starting over, Amy meets Liam Stone, a darkly entrancing recluse billionaire, who is also a brilliant, and famous, prodigy architect. A man who knows what he wants and goes after it. And what he wants is Amy. Refusing to take βnoβ as an answer, he sweeps her into a passionate affair, pushing her to her erotic limits. He wants to possess her. He makes her want to be possessed. Liam demands everything from her, accepting nothing less.
