I agree with so many of the other previous comments and I don't want to say ditto... but ditto!!

I really love this story and I was nearly orgasmic when I found this sequel. I felt almost as lost and broken as Xander was at the end of 'Beautiful Broken'... (But I've still read it over a dozen times.) I was heartbroken that we left had Xander in such a dark place. Hence my relief when I saw this sequel!

Abuse takes a lot of time to heal...and even then, your never quite the same. I appreciated that your not 'fixing' Xander overnight. I adore how protective Spike is of Xander. He really seems to know what Xan needs... and if he's falling in love too....that's even better!!

Thanks again for this sequel. It must be hard to write in this 'verse... so we applaud you even louder for writing this story!!
