Afrodyt's review posted at Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews 
 Jaime and Lennox were fortunate enough to grow up in a time and place where they knew who they were and where they came from. They've been best friends for over 20 years and preserved that friendship by not crossing the line into becoming lovers, until now. Jaime is stubborn, temperamental and idealistic. She has a strong presence in the community and is an all-around fierce female. Lennox is obstinate, protective and commanding. He's a true Alpha male and he earns his respect. As friends they were strong partners and allies, but as lovers I found their chemistry sorely lacking. 
 In this second installment of the Outlaws series, we learn more about the "town" of Foxworth and their leader, Reese. More characters in this dystopian world are introduced while we learn more about the political landscape. The environment is harsh and cut-throat and it's hard to know who to trust. The story is rife with tension. 
 I haven't read Elle Kennedy's entire back catalog, but I'm close, and this is the only book of hers I've read that I did not enjoy. There was something missing that I can't put my finger on. It's like all the ingredients were there for a great story but there was no flavor, nothing to savor. It's a good enough read to stay engaged with this series because it does further the overall story line. It pains me to give this such a low rating, but this story was just average.
