This book is hot. The men are sexy and needy (in that special August way). I like the way the author revealed a little bit more, in this 2nd book, about what drives the guys needs.

OK, Men of August isn't as good as the Breeds books, but it's still pretty hot. Those who like Lora Leigh's other erotica will probably like this as well.

It's true that there is a lot of stupidity in the plotting of this book (and the other August books). Yeah, it's dumb that the brothers have threesomes to "heal" and I didn't really care for all the psychobabble explanations.

But that didn't make it any less erotic that they did like to have threesomes. And that's the point of the book - Brock and Sarah are in love, but Sarah is having a lot of difficulty coming to terms with the fact that if she is going to be with Brock, she will also have to be with the other brothers.

And that, not the whole sexual healing bit, was probably the most annoying thing - how many women would have a hard time with the idea of being loved by three incredibly hot guys? The August men have the unique ability to find the most prudish, unaccepting women out there. So that was stupid, sure. And Sarah was annoying.

And I still couldn't put the book down. The eroticism was done so well that it was easy to ignore all that, most of which was just background anyway.

The writing itself is not bad at all. In fact, it's one of Lora Leigh's better written books. The lines about souls shattering are unfortunate, but they don't characterize the majority of the book.

I would recommend the August books to fans of LL's other books, although I'd point out that the Breeds books are still the best of all of them. It's hard to find writing as erotic as Lora Leigh's, and the erotic scenes are done well in this book, as in all her books. For those for whom perfect plotting and totally plausible dialog are more important, this may not be a great choice.

I think this book is one of the best I have read. Having read all three of the August men story, this one was by far my favorite. Brock just seemed to be more caring and tender of the three men. Even though it was very hard to do, he actually told Sarah details of the abuse, so she could understand where he was coming from. It seemed like he put her first. He persued her endlessly, and didn't play games with her, like the other brothers did with their women. He was straightforward about his life and what he wanted from her, and didn't try to hide things. He knew what he wanted and went for it: Sarah. I loved the things he said to her, the words he used. He was so sexy and strong, so alpha male. Sarah was a strong character as well, and I enjoyed reading her struggle to come to terms with loving Brock completely. As with the first book, someone in this book is still trying to harm the August men and their women, danger lurking at every turn. This book came to life for me. The characters seemed so real to me. I loved the emotional depth in this book. It is a must read
