Product Description

When Dakota lost Mike he thought he was done for when it came to love. Heck, after losing a lifetime partner, he figures it’s even affecting his ability to do his job as a veterinarian. Which is why he lets his friends convince him to see a psychologist. Ben is understanding, sympathetic, and a good listener. He’s also the most attractive thing Dakota has seen in a long time. Before they know it, Dakota and Ben are moving from being in a doctor patient relationship to something a lot more interesting, and that presents a whole new set of problems. Can these two put aside the past and build a new life together, one that is uniquely theirs?

Ok read...
This was a good book. I wont deny it, however towards the end half of the book, it kinda falls into a 'sex void', where the characters are having sex in the pages so often it takes away from the initial storyline. also, it is very repetitive. 3 out of 5

Catching a second wind
Catching a second wind starts and ends well. In the beginning it is a very enjoyable read but as the story evolves its all about meaningless sex which isn't erotic but rather boring because its so loosely put together. At times it is difficult to follow the action and really put yourself in the character's position. Some of the sex scenes you would just gloss over.

Could have been awesome...but it wasn't.
I have read several books by this author, and I cannot help but see a very strong similarity amongst characters. Dakota and his deceased lover Mike are very much like the main characters in the Jarhead series. The young psychologist, Ben seems underdeveloped and just too saccharine. I could never get a feel for him. His only "flaws" seems to be that he is a little young for Dakota and sometimes he over analyzes.

The story sort of dragged on, as if there was no point to it. I kept waiting for something to happen. By the time I got half way through it, I began to realize nothing major WAS going to happen in this book. Chronicling the development of a relationship between these two men could have been an awesome story, but it just did not deliver.

Another thing I found quite annoying with this story is that the dialogue was elementary. Am I supposed to believe that two doctors would speak in such simplistic terms? I swear the word "good" appeared on EVERY page. "Oh, good!"..."That feels good."... "You feel good." Believe me; you will begin counting the number of times that word shows up while reading.

To be completely honest, I found this book to be boring. Even the sex was redundant, and Sean Michael can write some pretty steamy sex scenes. This one just seems to have fallen flat. I would recommend to readers to skip this title and opt for another of this author's works.
