Beholden The Belonging Duet #2 Volume 2 Corinne Michaels Books

Way too much angst, misery and drama. In this approx. 700 page 2 book series, the Hero and Heroin is separated over 50% of the time. While during the course of the separation, they each describe to us their heart wrenching pain and anguish of being apart from their lover.
As an avid romance novel reader, I understand the author has to present the challenges and heart ache that the couples will endure. But in this case their issues seem to be more manufactured to create and heighten the drama. In other words, these incidents could have easily been avoided by simple communication and overcoming their fears and guilt.. Instead, minor issue that most couple would have easily resolved became major catastrophic long term break ups for Jackson and Catherine.

For example: Jackson failed to disclose important information about his past. In which was utterly stupid because 1) as his Publicist she would eventually find out and 2) this information would not have a negative impact on their relationship. If anything, it may have brought them closer together with a better understanding of each other.

Another example: Catherine refuse to allow Jackson to explain. Instead she automatically assumed the worse
causing her months of heart ache, pain and anguish, . Ofcourse, when she finally listen to Jackson, after being
forced, she realized it was not as bad she thought....., Aaaugh,, so annoying.

My suggestions to the author.

As oppose to you having Jackson and Catherine burning up the pages of being separated, allow them to work through their issues early on, endure other challenges together, ie the ex fiancé, allowing them to overcome any obstacles, and build a stronger unit as a couple. If you need an example of how it is done, I recommend you read :The Unscripted series by Tina Reber. While the couple had a minor breakup , as
the reader you got to witness a couple who fought for each other, build a stronger union, enabling them to endure any obstacles that came in their path.

Beholden The Belonging Duet #2 Volume 2 Corinne Michaels Books Reviews

This is part two of Catherine and Jackson's story, told in a dual, first person POV. Catherine is more emotionally stable now; she's got her emotional head screwed on straight...she's strong and respects herself. She's gained direction. This second part deals with Catherine and Jackson working through all the ups/downs of a young relationship and getting more personal with each other intimately. Not just the hot steamy moments, but learning one another. Their love play was so much fun...their teasing and humorous banter a delight. Their arguments and angsty controversy added fuel to their passionate fire. And the impending doom that was ever lurking in the shadows was perfectly conveyed. The drama and turmoil was raw and real. I loved Catherine's stronger character. She gained my respect (lacking in book #1) Beloved (The Salvation Series Book 1) and many of her doubts and questions got answered. Most importantly was the resounding loss and heartbreak I felt at our fallen heroes...our military who sacrifice life and family to serve their country for our freedom(s). I don't like to read books that make me cry or make me depressed, and while this book sometimes turned on the waterworks, the HEA gave me a brilliant smile and the endgame wasn't depressing. Ms. Michaels conveyed our Military's sacrifice with perfect clarity...and I sometimes bawled buckets. BUCKETS! This was a perfectly lovely conclusion, complete with a perfect HEA, of Catherine and Jacksons long tumultuous journey to find each other...and I loved it all. Brilliant writing.
After reading the first book, 'Beloved,' I was expecting something much different than this. I really don't understand the 5 star reviews. Catherine was one of the most annoying, selfish, and immature heroines that I have ever come across. I really expected this second book to show some growth in her character. Instead, it was just more of the same old angst and indecision on her part. Even her friends try to straighten out her thinking and get nowhere with the whiny brat. I loved all the secondary characters and Jackson is the perfect hero. Too perfect for her! And the ending....well, I have to say that I was upset with that, too. I wanted to see her make some sort of effort to make the romance work.

I do love Corinne Michaels writing style. Had she combined the two books into one, I think it would have made a better story. In this one, I just kept skipping the sex scenes and half of the "oh, another man is doing me wrong" dialogue to get to the ending.
