Dauphine is a lot like Cassie was before S.E.C.R.E.T. Quiet, unsure of herself, not dating, and letting her self confidence waste away. Cassie sees Dauphine at a restaurant, and uses Matilda to help recruit her into the organization to have her own fantasies fulfilled. Dauphine agrees, and starts the process. Unlike Cassie, she gives the organization free reign over her fantasies in an effort to let go and enjoy herself. Meanwhile, Cassie is trying to get over her boss Will (we found out at the end of book 1 he is having a baby with his girlfriend). Now that Tracina is pregnant, Will and Cassie ended their new relationship so he can focus on his duties as a father. It obviously doesn't mean they don't still have feelings for each other, so work is becoming awkward and difficult for both of them.
This book was better than the first in my opinion. The story line was better, and since Cassie went through the program last year her portion of the story was much more realistic and much less physical (Dauphine's was of course very physical). We learned a lot more about her past and saw her come into her own after gaining the confidence she needed from the program. Jesse, one of her fantasies that she never really got over, also comes back into the story. He and Cassie start a relationship that's mostly just fun, but has the potential to become serious. Jesse is also my favorite because he's obviously attractive, but has a kid and a good sense of humor. He seems like one of those guys that would just be a catch.
The ending of the book was great, and I can't say much without giving things away. But essentially Cassie is stuck between Will and Jesse, and the future of S.E.C.R.E.T. could be in trouble. I hope the author doesn't wait too long to release the third installment in the series!
