I enjoyed this book more than the first, even though some of the sex scene's were quite tough to read, it was hard to understand why a women would put herself in the situations summer found herself in in the book.
I found myself getting frustrated with her, it wasn't the BDSM it was the the way she felt the need to be used by any male.

I may come back and change my ratings for these books to five stars. There were some minor flaws in the writing, but this series has just been so good, exceeded my expectations by far.
I love the realism and I'm not sure I'll be able to find anything else that comes to close to this. This book ended on a cliff-hanger and now I'm on to the book I'm loving this series.

Summer and Dominik are together but in a non-exclusive relationship, a lot of this book is their struggle to figure out how to be together.
Dominik is still figuring out what he wants, his style of domination. He doesn't like clubs, or any of the hardcore BDSM stuff I liked it when he would internally cringe at the thought of using 'equipment' like handcuffs or being called names like 'sir. He always gave Summer her space maybe too much space I loved that about him. He's a nice guy but sometimes I wanted to shake him and tell him to stop being so distant and emotionally detached to Summer and just communicate and commit.
This really is not a typical emotionally charged romance. It's a really big deal if one of them manages to text 'I miss you' to the other, lol. This book was frustrating and heartbreaking. Still really good, I loved the ending and have to read the next book to find out what happens. Oct 04, Marleen rated it really liked it Shelves: erotica.
Until the day comes when you assume it fully, accept it, banish the personal doubts. Rarely do we grow into something new without some obstacles getting in the way as Dominik and Summer are about to find out in this, the second instalment in the Eighty Days trilogy.
Violinist Summer Zahova is happy in New York. She never tells him about her times with Victor, even though Dominik knows Victor and they had an agreement to share any encounters with third parties with each other.
When Dominik has to return to his life in London, Summer finds herself alone and unable to really connect with people. Dominik taking a sabbatical from his job in London to pursue a residency in New York appears to be the answer to the yearning they both feel for each other. When Summer at last returns to America it should mean a happy reunion but it appears that Victor still has some games to play with the young musician. And this time it might well result in the death of her relationship with Dominik.
As we get to know the two main characters better we also start to understand what it is that motivates them. That may not mean that they become anymore sympathetic than they were in the previous book, but, because they are consistent in their behaviour, they grow on the reader.
Maybe it is time to be honest and admit that my reluctance towards liking these books is a result of the level of realism in them. Most works of romantic fiction and erotica appear to be written as if they are fairy-tales.
Not so these books. No first meeting with sparks flying followed by romantic courtship, interrupted for a short while by some sort of issue or misunderstanding only for everything to come together in an easy happily-ever-after in this story.
These two main characters, though drawn together, have almost more downs than ups. It is their own behaviour as well as outside influences that throw obstacles in their way. In short, these characters are so real that you would like to slap them occasionally if only to wake them up to how careless they are being with each other and with their own feelings.
And that I guess is a credit to the authors. I do wonder though if this is a work of erotic fiction as in a tantalising story or a cautionary tale as in, be careful what you get yourself into because it can easily come back to bite you. Although this book, like its prequel, comes with a fair amount of graphic and quite kinky sex scenes, the story seems to be more about the emotions behind the physical needs this time.
To me it felt as if the feelings the characters had about their sexual needs, and the desperation those needs sometimes caused, was far more important than the actual acts of intimacy. We get an insight into the need, the confusion and also the shame the characters experience. This gives the book more depth than the average work of erotica usually has. Sep 12, A. Von rated it really liked it. This is the second book in the Eighty Days series and I enjoyed it even more than the first!
It has a bit more romance involved this time. More than the last. I found it to be calmer in the BDSM aspect but no less erotic and engrossing. Eighty Days Blue can be read as a stand alone if desired. It covered enough for the reader not to be lost even though it's part of a series.
Once again, I do not recommend this book to everyone. Those who like to venture into the BDSM scene are comfortable with s This is the second book in the Eighty Days series and I enjoyed it even more than the first! Those who like to venture into the BDSM scene are comfortable with scenes of multiple partners, anal play and a roller coaster of a relationship will enjoy Eighty Days Blue.
Summer has grown in both character and strength. Secrets, hidden desires and the inability to fully open up to him prevents further growth for them as a couple. I actually feel bad for the guy. He comes off to me to be a bit lost and confused with what he wants in his personal life.
Now all he needs is a strong handle on it and to venture on that path so he can be comfortable in his skin, completely. Summer and Dominik are so utterly perfect for each other in more ways than I could ever verbalize. I hope they both come to terms with what they really want and how they truly feel for one another in the next in the series. That would be a perfect HEA for me This is another part of a great book.
Although I got bored in a few parts, but I will not hesitate to buy the third part. I loved the ending so so much so that Im excited to know what will Summer do.
Aug 04, H rated it it was amazing Shelves: best-of , adult. If the first book was about awakening, this one was about growing pains and falling apart. For its complexity, it was better than its predecessor. Onto the next! Mar 16, Marika rated it really liked it.
