Stunning Conclusion to this Duet

“We’re just two broken people in love trying to heal each other, and despite everything, we don’t want to be with anybody else.”

This book absolutely made my romantic suspense loving heart so happy. Book one ended in a doozy of a cliffhanger, which if you know me, I LOVE cliffhanger duets, that suspense buildup and unexpected ending has me dying for the next book in the duet, getting my heart racing. With book two, the mystery of Blake’s family tragedy continues to unfold and new truths are discovered. I loved the anticipation that each moment built to what was behind her past and who was out to get her. When the secrets and lies are finally revealed I was definitely surprised at the outcome, a truly twisted plot of revenge.

“My soul belongs to you, Blake. I go where you go, I can’t live without you, I don’t want to live without you. If you die tomorrow, I die with you.”

With this book, we got chapters and narrative from Cole’s perspective, which really added depth to the story for me. And while book one was hot, this book was SCORCHING, Cole is definitely a man who knows how to please a woman. To see his true love and devotion for Blake and her happiness, it definitely had me falling even harder for him. Even with the stress and unknown factors trying to keep them apart, he never lost faith in the unbreakable bond they shared. Blake and Cole’s journey to their happily ever after is definitely a wild ride but with the love and the support of the family they chose to surround themselves with, they can handle anything life throws their way.

Meh

This is so hard, 20 hours. Felt like 15 of it was just fluff. I love the characters, although she was super immature. I won’t give up on this author because I know she has it in her, and I wouldn’t have listen to this if it hadn’t been on my audible romance package. Narrator’s were good, actually the female narrator was probably The only reason I came back to this and read the second part. The books seem to have a storyline but the storyline wasn’t the main part of the story. At least I finished, I have stars for me!

Amazingly Good!!!!!

Wow. This was as good as the first one. It’s really good from start to finish. The emotions OhMgee. The tension in needing to know who Blake really is. Cole wowzers, I need one of him. The ending is so beautiful, absofreaking good.

Audible Romance Rocks!!!
