 This book was an unexpected surprise for me, as I found myself enjoying it even more than I did Alpha. The relationship between Kyrie and Valentine was just beautiful. The way the author described the feelings that each felt for one another was touching, sweet and sexy all at the same time. The depth of emotions was heartfelt and I fell in love with these two characters more so than I did in the first book. Unlike in some books I have read, I really could feel the passion between these two that extended way beyond the bedroom. Or the shower. Or the closet. Or the prow of the boat. 
 I was expecting this to simply be a continuation of the first book, but I was wrong. In Beta, we get to see another side of Valentine Roth, learning about his background and the woman who has never forgotten him and won't let go. This story was a whirlwind of a book, with action, sex, violence, love and revenge all rolled into one. It was deep with emotion, dark with twisted desires and just a thrilling ride. 
 I will say that there were a few issues I had with the book however. First, this is the first book I've read in a while where I actually had to look up some of the sexual practices that were referenced. This was not for the squeamish. 
 Second, without spoiling anything in the story itself, I thought that the cliffhanger was great. Until I read the author's note at the end, where she stated that she was not sure if she was going to continue the story or not. 
 WHAT?! 
 I invested my time and emotions into a story that left me hanging, with a lot of loose ends and a lot of people whose lives I wanted to continue to follow. A story I can't wait to finish. And then I read in the post script: "WILL there be a book three? The truth? I'm not sure." 
 Oh, hell no. 
 I would have rated this book much higher if not for this unsatisfying post script of an ending. Perhaps this is a marketing ploy, or perhaps this is a way to gauge interest. I certainly hope that's what is happening here. Because I'm dangling off the cliff on a great series and hope I'm not left to wonder what goes on in this thrilling and erotically charged world.
