  “This was a follow-up to Without Reservations which is one of my favorite m/m romances, but with all apologies to Ms. Langley this sequel wasn't as engaging for me. In the first book the protagonists were Equals who had to find where to fit their love for one another, and Remi, the main character in this book, was a side (and interesting) character that had a troubled past but had a strong personality.
  
  In this book Remi as the main character isn't the "same" person from the first book. The author has decided to bring in mild domination themes, making Remi the subservient one in the relationship. And the problem for me was that he ended up being the "bottom" not only in bed but in personality and relationship, and this didn't seem "true" to the character as I knew him.
  
  I appreciate that other readers like the master / servant dynamic in their m/m romance, but I always prefer a more equal dynamic, where the men involved are at least equals in the relationship (if not always in bed). I really wanted to like this book with at least a 3 stars, but in the end it only rates a 2.25, and so is rounded down to a 2.”

  “With Caution is the third installment in J. L. Langley’s With or Without series. Remington Lassiter, who was introduced in Without Reservations, is adjusting to his life as a werewolf and coming to terms with his attraction to Jake.
  
  Remi has endured severe abuse as a child at the hands of his father. Even though Remi is now living on his own, his life is still very much controlled by his father. When he discovers bruises on his younger brother, Sterling, Remi enlists Jake’s help in finding a way to protect him. During Jake’s investigation of Remi’s father, he discovers some very unsettling truths about Remi’s childhood.
  
  Overall, I enjoyed this story. It was well executed and there was a lot of suspense and mystery that made it difficult for me to stop reading. A strong cast of supporting characters rounded out the story nicely. Its weakness for me was the relationship between Jake and Remi. They were very hot and sexy, like Chay and Keaton in Without Reservations and Lainey and Devlin in With Love, but there was no heat, no passion. Remi’s sweet and submissive behavior got tiring very quickly and the love scenes were lacking in emotion.
  
  Overall, a good read but not the best in the series.
