I think I liked this one better than the first, if for nothing else because I already had a good handle on the "world" these guys live in. Oh yeah, and because of the smut. Mother of pearl, this is some of the dirtiest I've ever read. That in itself makes it enjoyable, but the characters add to that. I loved Lex, and Dallas... he had me swooning and panting and yeah, I loved him. But Ace, Ace is still my favorite.
