ARC Review: Adore (On My Knees Duet #2) by Ella James

From the Blurb:

The heartrending conclusion to the On My Knees Duet, a forbidden MM romance by USA Today Bestseller Ella James... 

If you haven't read Worship, find out why readers are calling it the best forbidden romance of the year!

Ky's rating:

"Adore" is the second book in this duet and it concludes the story of Luke and Vance.

Here, there's a lot more contact between the characters, they see each other every day and they live as a couple for a few months. Everything is done in secrecy though and there's no way around it.

The back and forth of Luke's decisions continues and his uncertainty about how he should act with Vance is still present. Vance is more patient with this that I hoped anyone to be. He knows what he wants, he knows that he's hooked in Luke and so he does everything he can to give Luke the time he needs, the discretion he wants and to get as much out of the relationship as he can for as long as Luke will keep their arrangement going. He knows the score and is trying to make the best of it.


I liked the majority of the book and I liked the ending but I didn't appreciate the two events that took place near it. There was a lot of drama, blood and hospitals thrown in and I didn't like it.

As a whole, the story was interesting and different. I liked the characters (Vance more that Luke though) and I liked the way this author writes. I'd have prefered a more low-key ending, though considering what Luke did for a living maybe less drama wouldn't have worked, and I think it could have been a single book. Other than those two little things, I liked everything else. Even Luke's mood and behavioral swings grew on me and I came to expect them so I could see how Vance would handle them.
