Following up where the first book left, we get to know more about Mackenzie and Lauren’s romance story. There are people who will cheer them on their relationship but there are some that go against it as well.
I enjoyed this story as much as the first one. Full of many steamy scenes and a few suspenseful twists, it’s becoming a favourite contemporary romance trilogy for me .
On to the next and last book now.
I knew it after reading The Facilitator part one, but now after devouring part two, I can officially say I’m in love with Mackenzie Miller. He is just the right amount of dominant, sexy, hot alpha but with a very caring, loyal, sweet and dare I say it vulnerable side when you get inside the steel plated armour protecting his heart and soul.
This story had ultra hot steamy passionate sexiness, but it wasn’t all about the sex, there was a great story intertwined with it. In this book Mackenzie and Lauren are a couple but they are still learning to trust completely and I loved how both of them healed each other enough to let go of past hurts, with the strength of their love. Lauren was such a kind, strong soul, if I’d been put through what she was, I’m not sure I’d be so understanding!!
There was tension, suspense, heartbreak, swoony romance and more insight into the past and some of the other characters, particularly Jerry, Addison and Gabriella.
I loved this, Tracie Podger has written an absolute winner for me, so much so I have to hope for more one day – 5 big “yes please Mr Miller” stars
What a great follow up to the first book of this story. Once more I was absolutely captivated by both the characters and the storyline.
I love the way Mackenzie helped Lauren explore her sexual fantasies as she became more confident in all areas of her life. I will Diffinately l read more books from this writer.
Our couple believes they have everything they want, so where do they go from here? Of course, they thought that in the past as well.
This is a romance story with several erotic elements thrown in and lots of steam. The story is very well written and easy to read, for the most part (there are occasional British terms which I love, but sometimes take a bit of time to parse). The plot is both straight forward and not, with our couple having to navigate several obstacles coming at them from different directions in order to strive for their HEA. The couple, though, is perhaps the best part of the entire story. They are well developed and fit together very well. I thoroughly enjoyed all of the interactions, both verbal and non-verbal if you will.
Overall, I found this to be a highly enjoyable book.
I received an ARC through Hidden Gems for review purposes.
Lauren and Mackenzie continue to make the pages sizzle with their off the charts chemistry and sexploration. So hot!!! They are both still busy with their careers and learning to navigate a committed relationship. Added to that, Mackenzie’s ex wife is still a thorn in his side. He and his dad also have a rocky relationship that could stand to be repaired. Secrets will be revealed and threats will need to be taken care of in order to move forward. I loved this book! I would love to see more from this couple.
This salacious tale was quite a sizzler.
I adored the two main characters and enjoyed the continuation of their mutually thoughtful and solicitous love affair.
They scorched the sheets and their lustful activities and repeated frictions appeared quite capable of setting the bed aflame!
The story is an intriguing tale with suspenseful storylines
A great read
I received a free copy of this book via Hidden Gems and am voluntarily leaving a review.
*****I was given a copy of this book by Hidden Gems and this is my honest review.*****
Why oh why didn’t I learn my lesson from book 1 and not read this in bed!! Again, lost sleep, but what a great continuation of Mackenzie and Lauren’s story!! This book has more…more steam, more drama, more twists, more turns, and more bad guys!! Tracie Podger gives us a great, fast paced read and I hope to read more.
I enjoyed this book a lot. I enjoyed the the alpha dominant male Mackenzie and Lauren’s quirky fun relationship. The suspenseful storyline and the sexy intimate moments kept me reading into the night. The supportive family and friends just added an extra touch to the story and the wonderful characters. Great read!
Powerfully and emotionally deep connections
The Facilitator Part 2 by Tracie Podger is a very well written book with a great deal of heart and intrigue. As the continuation of Part 1, it is not entirely necessary to read it, but I do highly recommend it. It’s a great read as well as background for Part 2.
While I typically prefer dual POV romances, I was absolutely just fine with this authors single POV style. The way it’s written, the reader can get a pretty good feel for the other characters through dialogue and descriptions of body language. I am hooked on these characters! Lauren is exploring self-discovery and Mackenzie is guiding Lauren through, Lauren becomes a much needed support while navigating emotional and business land mines. This book, to me, showcases their connections, emotional and physical, taking them to another level of discovery which feels very profound. Then there’s the plot. It is as intriguing and captivating as the characters.
Overall, a very well written book that the author hints might just have more coming. I really hope there is a part 3 as there are a few loose ends despite the HEA and my curious mind wants to know. And not just for the sake of the plot, but for the sake of Lauren and Mackenzie.
I read an ARC of this book from Hidden Gems and voluntarily share my review.
Will Mackenzie and Lauren have their happily ever after
This is my 2nd book by Tracie and I loved the continuing story of Mackenzie and Lauren. Lauren moves in with Mackenzie and the two continue to heat up the sheets and the rest of the house. But when Mackenzie gets bogged down with a threat to his business and his father’s health, will Lauren be able to help him through the worst? Lots of plot twists, you won’t expect that will have you turning the pages to see how it all ends!
Mystery, intrigue, excitement and much much more in this second part story, it is full of emotional highs and lows with happiness and sadness all mixed up with anger and frustration. It is a journey of sexual exploration, that breaks boundaries and pushes Lauren to her limits and beyond. The enemies start circling causing issue after issue, including someone who should think a bit more about what they are doing. For someone supposedly with business sense, who had built it up and then sold for profit, a bit of investigation and some of that common sense would have been better served. With budding friendships growing, relationships changing as well as careers it certainly keeps these characters moving forward. The plot is intense and multi directional, there are a lot of elements that sometimes seem to pull in opposite ways, forces conspiring for things not to be straight forward, some might find it to much but personally it added to the emotional aspect, kept me focussed on this couple and I am glad they were strong in their love against everything thrown at them. I do wonder if there might be a book 3? with the ending though not a cliff hanger it was left in a way as to allow options for that and it would please me to get more of them. Worth more than 5 stars n my opinion.
It was so nice catching up with these characters, I loved book one of The Facilitator, so it was with anticipation that I started reading book two. I wasn’t disappointed at all, this is a well written, fast paced and exciting read.
Lauren and Mackenzie are the two main characters and their life together is continuing to grow and evolve. Their story is full of emotion and a few troubled characters who cause their future to have a few bumps along the way. I loved that you got to find out more about Gabriella and Alex too. These characters are well written and very enjoyable to read about.
Tracie Podger is a very good author, she writes a good book and is one of my favourites, so it was a pleasure to read this book. My only criticism would be the amount of sex in it. Don’t get me wrong, sex is these two’s starting place and I am no prude, but I would have just liked a little less because this had such a good storyline, I think it took away from that a little. Having said that it is a definite must-read, but do read book one first.
Favorite Quotes:
“I believe a gentleman should reciprocate,” he said. “I like the reciprocation, but I don’t need a gentleman,” I said.
He’ll have a bit of how’s ya father with her and then come to his senses. Sometimes, Lauren, these men, they need to have the sex, get it all out of their system before their brain can work properly.
I feel so sorry for you. The acid from the bitterness that consumes you must need a shitload of medication.
My Review:
This salacious tale was quite a sizzler. This libidinous pair didn’t merely scorch the sheets, their lustful activities and repeated frictions appeared quite capable of setting the bed aflame! I adored Mackenzie and Lauren and enjoyed the continuation of their mutually thoughtful and solicitous love affair. I was also intrigued by the suspenseful storylines and delighted with the sweetly loving and deeply supportive and soul-deep connection the couple shared, although there were several cringe-worthy sensual scenes that took me quite a bit outside my comfort zone.
I would love to know what type of vitamins, magical elixirs, or health regime this licentious couple would have followed, as their stamina was otherworldly. I would certainly buy stock in whatever product could induce such vigor and endurance. I didn’t know whether to be impressed, jealous or horrified when one encounter became so intense Lauren passed out from the bliss. However, the most satisfyingly erotic scene for me was the tender care Mackenzie took in dressing Lauren for a special evening out with clothing that he had personally procured for her. Sigh. He was very attentive and considerate of her.
I picked up some new Brit lingo with how’s ya father – which apparently is a euphemism for sex in the UK. But I was rather aghast in the results of Googling pie and mash – which was defined as leftover scraps of meat and vegetables baked in a pastry crust and served with mash potatoes drenched in a green parsley sauce, and commonly accompanied with jellied eels and the liquor sauce made from the liquid used to boil the eels. Hmm, I’m not sure I’m adventurous enough for green and eely potatoes on the regular.
