This sequel to never Let Go was even better than I imagined it would be. It takes place about a month after Ethan and Will’s reunion, and their love for each other is only growing. When someone from Ethan’s past arrives to terrorize them, the two lovers prove just how much they truly mean to each other.Okay, maybe I’m just a sappy girl, but I cried while reading this—more than once. Rhodes has done a magnificent job building Ethan and Will’s relationship as well as adding a tension that heightens the suspense of the story. At first, I was afraid that the author was going to cross a line that I wouldn’t be able to handle. I like reading BDSM and D/s stories, but I draw the line at anything non-consensual. Rhodes has delivered an engaging, sexy story that, like its predecessor, is filled with angst, pain, and a redeeming love. ( )

From best friend to lover the passage is not always easy, but Will and Ethan, the same couple of Never Let Go seem to have chosen the right path.

Ethan, ex secret agent and very commanding man, turns in a man to be nurse by Will. He is not weak, but he needs his man to be strong and protective, to shut out all the bad memories haunting him. And he needs also to accomadate himself to a live made of 9.00 to 5.00 work and domestic peace.

Will is tender and patient, he lets Ethan adjust himself to the new life, and he looks at him like a dream come true: the love of all his life is in the end near him, and it seems not true... And in fact the past is not so willing to be forgotten.

A good sequel to Never Let Go, actually the real story: Never Let Go introduces to us Will and Ethan, but only in Hearts & Bones you can see how their relationship evolves. In Hearts & Bones Ethan is the main character and we have the chance to understand him better: Will is the reason of all his life and his salvation. The story is a good mix of romance and thriller, with some unexpected twists. The plot is well planned and as realistic as can be a romantic novel.
