Description: Just because you're large, doesn't mean you want to be in charge.

As a shy, often awkward young man with Aspergers, can he adjust to now being the biggest, strongest man alive? Perhaps ever? Fortunately, Alex has a hot new boyfriend to stand by him as he tries to navigate quickly changing relationships with his friends. What Alex and Ryan don't know is that their lives are about to take an ominous turn. Will Alex be able to take the bull by the horns?

My Thoughts: When I started reading this book I didn't realize it was book 2 in a series. It wasn't hard to figure out what was going on though. The author did a good job at briefly touching on what happened in book 1. The characters were a little plain, but they all seemed to fit together well. Ryan is such a nice boyfriend, and I think the relationship between him and Alex is perfect. I like that I wasn't able to predict what was going to happen next. I didn't like that every time something major happened it was resolved quickly and without many problems. It would have made it that much more interesting if Alex would have had to put some thought into problem solving instead of just using his height or strength. All in all it wasn't a bad read.
