What a crazy ride!! Loved this couple. The action was crazy but in the end I felt like I was kept with more questions than answers and feeling like it was left open. Nothing feel concluded.

Well, we were "All In" with Even Money but Double Down sounds like a chance that could make or break...and it does.
The intense ending of All In leaves you wondering what's in store for this couple. Double Down will answer almost all of them. But it's not a smooth road, there are plenty of obstacles, lots of danger, and insecurities.
You will be on edge while you try to catch up with the action. It's definitely a suspenseful ride. Questions will arise. Doubts will fog your thoughts. In the end, you have to believe...

Good read
Not a cliffhanger but she definitely left it open to continue the series if she wanted. These books are pretty easy fun reads.

OH. MY. GOD! Double Down is equally as gripping and engrossing as Even Money; I could NOT put it down!! The story picks up right where the first book left off with Bell and Dario dealing with Gwen's death. Because Even Money left us with one hell of a cliffhanger, the second Double Down landed on my kindle I was on it so dang fast. I was borderline obsessive with it. After reading it, I can rightfully say that I am so in love with this book. Double Down brings the suspense, the drama, the heat and the passion. It’s so good. Alessandra Torre is a master of romantic suspense. She has a way of giving you just enough information so the story is not boring or predictable and has you craving and devouring more and more.
The only reason I could not give this book the full 5 stars is because I did not feel as emotionally connected to Dario and Bell's relationship as I was in the first book. Individually, I loved them both. I liked Bell’s independence and her relationships with her friends. As for Dario, I liked him in Even Money but I absolutely loved him and his fierce protective nature in this book. There were so many times that I wanted to reach in and take away all his grief. My feelings for him only grew. Although, I loved both main characters, when they were together, I wasn't fully sold on their love. Yes, they were fire when they were intimate. Outside their intimacy, I thought there was just something off.
Both Even Money and Double Down are perfect example of why Alessandra Torre is one of my favorite writers ever. She can write anything!

Double Down is the epic conclusion for Even Money. This book is hands down a page turner!!!! Double Down picked up exactly where Even Money left off. Alessandra has a way with words and making you feel like you are right there with the characters. In Double Down you get to see into Dario’s previous life, which helps you to understand him more. Bell is still a head strong woman going after what she wants. There are many twists and turns and things you’re not expecting. The suspense in this book literally kept me on the edge of my seat!! It was truly an epic read!!

Even Money, book one in this duet left me twisted up in knots and jonesing for book two. Double Down definitely did not disappoint. Holy smokes, what a twisty, topsy turvy rollercoaster ride!
Alessandra Torre is a master of her craft. This story had me biting my nails and squirming in my seat. Not only is this masterfully written with killer suspense, but the love scenes are off the freaking charts! Thank God I had my air conditioner on full blast because I was starting to sweat. They were that good!
No spoilers from this gal, but if you're looking for something that will keep you guessing and engaged I highly recommend this duet. Wow! This author surprises me time and time again.

I like Double Down. It was a fast paced romance with suspense and action but there was no magic in there. That Alessandra Torre twist I've been waiting for. I also think that she could've crammed the duolgy in one book and chopped a hundred pages off and it would still be fine.
I love Alessandra Torre, no doubt about that but I think her books are becoming a little bland for me these past few releases. I haven't had a mindblowing Torre read since The Ghostwriter, Black Lies and The Girl in 6E and that's how I fell inlove with her books. I NEED THAT SIGNATURE ALESSANDRA TORRE MINDBLOWING TWIST AGAIN!! I have all but read my fair share of those sexy romance from other authors. Let's bring out more of those psycho plot twists back again!!! I NEED IT!!!

Double Down was an incredibly well crafted story. There were ups and downs and crazy turns that kept me turning pages because I just HAD to find out what was going to happen. The suspense was wild, but this book was also full of swoon worthy friendships. The type where you dive first into helping the person you love and think about the consequences later.

OMG!! Double Down is the second book in the All In Duet by Alessandra Torre. This book had me on the edge of my seat and I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough! A well written conclusion to a wonderful story.

Double Down takes up right where Even Money ended. The stakes are much higher in this one as danger continues to lurk.
I loved the way the story unfolded and the fact that it was told from multiple points of view. Those point of views helped to take the tension and suspense to another level making the story that much more engaging.
I enjoyed the conclusion to Dario and Bell's story, it was a fitting end. I definitely recommend this duet and hope that a certain side character has his story told.
