Heartaches 2: Bad Boy Vibes by H.M Irwing is an unconventional romance novel. It contains the usual passionate love relationship, and steamy sex scenes, to be expected of books in this genre. This however, is not all there is to this book.

We see the two of them struggling to come to terms with their past, battling the legal system, and finding love in each other. Heartaches 2: Bad Boy Vibes is the continuation of their story.
In this book, Eric Dayton (Rafe’s abuser) and the Prestions (Anna’s rapists) returns. The couple managed to ruin their reputations; will the abusers seek revenge? Will Anna and Rafe survive the attack? Can their relationship stand against all odds? …show more content…

Romance novels I have read before, but never has any dealt with such a dark theme. Rape, PTSD, and manipulation are a few of the heavy topics discussed in this novel. The author describes the vile acts against the victims vividly, so much so that I often had to stop reading and skip a few lines (or an entire page). You need a strong mind to read and finish this book.
There is not much about this book that enjoyed, save the main characters. I appreciated the fact that they are both portrayed as strong. This is not a case of man-save-woman, woman-falls-head-over-heels-in-love-with-man. Anna is not a damsel-in-distress, Rafe is not her saviour arriving on a white horse. They are both truly damaged characters with seriously traumatic back-stories. They help each other overcome the horrific events each had experienced before they

The author, Sarah B. Pomeroy, writes this book in a style that resembles a textbook with many examples. She structures it in a timeline chronologically telling the events and breaking up the subject matter. The book lacked personality, although she had strong opinions that came through when writing the book, the style of writing lacked personality and was hard to read at times. The subject matter I found very interesting, considering it correlated with my class currently. At times, while I read this book, I found myself angry with men because of their brutal and thoughtfulness of women.

I would recommend this novel because it is extremely detailed, painting vivid pictures in your mind that really help to magnify and

Another element in this novel is Melinda’s inner conflict, man vs. self. What Melinda has been through greatly affected her everyday life. She struggles with depression, dislikes her appearance, and feels ashamed of herself for something that isn 't her fault: “I want to confess everything, hand over the guilt and mistake and anger to someone else...even if I dump the memory, it will stay with me, staining me” (Anderson 51). Andy Evans, the senior who raped her, made her feel worthless. This situation is much like the one in the novel The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins.

Miss Emily Grierson’s father controls her and her love life, pushing away all people until he dies and Emily is left alone.

It has a realistic story line, humor, a touch of suspense, strong independent women, oh-so-sexy men, and of course steamy romance. What is not to love. I absolutely cannot wait to read to next books, so I can see what is going to happen with the other sisters. I would have loved a little more information about the sisters though. We are introduced to them, but information was withheld too.
