This sequel to Legally Bound picks up right where the first book left off, with lawyer Daniel learning the ropes - if you’ll pardon the expression - of submission from his Dom, and former client, Rafael. However, it’s Daniel’s law partner Jesse and Rafael’s boss, club owner George, who take center stage in this installment of the story. Jesse finally decides to risk his father-in-law’s wrath and leave his shrewish socialite wife. George takes him in, and as Jesse gets to know George, he becomes eager to explore his bi-curiosity.
George is equally fascinated by the brash young lawyer, but the two exist in such different worlds, it’s hard to see how they can get together. To further complicate matters, several members of George’s club are being blackmailed, with pictures taken during scenes at the club.
In many ways, “Breach of Contract” is a bit more ambitious than the first book. It attempts to weave several story lines together, involving a large number of characters. Unfortunately, it’s not entirely successful. There’s almost too much going on to give every plot the attention it deserves. Early on, Daniel and Rafael develop serious trust issues, but these are soon swept aside and hardly mentioned. The blackmail plot seems designed mainly to distract Jesse and George from getting to know one another. It never really takes center stage and is wrapped up in the most perfunctory fashion just a few pages before the end. Some other seemingly significant characters are introduced, and their stories are just left dangling. It’s all well and good to set up potential plot lines for further installments in the series, but there are so many here that it seems like it would be difficult for readers to be able to keep track of them all.
Despite the (nit-picky to some, I’m sure) plot issues, the book is still quite readable, with plenty of hot scenes. In fact, the overall production of the ebook is quite an improvement over the first volume. It could still use tighter editing, as there are times when it’s hard to tell who is speaking in a conversation, but at least there are signs of progress.
