Jonas' "Finding Bathsheba" is one of the finest stories of its genre at SOL, filled with great characters, a great plot and great sex.
"Finding Bathsheba: Book 2" just might be even better.
The author picks up where the first book left off, with Jack Williams having brokered an opportunity to relocate to the Pacific Northwest from his home town in Tennessee with his wife Abigail and her sister -- and their lover -- Allison in tow. But they can't escape threats to their polyamorous relationship, both from inside and outside their little group.
The story essentially splits along two fronts, with another budding love triangle forming between Allison's best friend Briana, her secret girlfriend Merrigan and Allison's brother Ben. All that is set against a pair of dangerous games being played, one to dig up proof against a clique of teen rapists, the other to find evidence against the illegal and racist business practices of Abigail and Allison's father.
In other words, there's a LOT of plot to go around.
But what sets the "Finding Bathsheba" series apart is that the action in the story doesn't get in the way of the erotic content, nor vice versa. Jonas handles the sexual portion of the prose quite well, and includes it in each chapter, without ever allowing it to feel forced.
Where the sequel actually outclasses the original is in that Jonas now has all his ducks in a row. The first book clearly started as a short-story idea that grew a lot bigger. But "FB2" hits the ground running, with all the characters and plot points in place. And it loses nothing as the second book in an apparent trilogy, ending as it does in a very satisfying way, on a significant and emotional event in the lives of the characters.
It goes without saying that reading the first book of "Finding Bathsheba" is a prerequisite to reading the second, but if you're the type that likes the longer form stories, this series is one you shouldn't miss.
