Thank you to the author for the eARC opportunity. This review is voluntary & honest. 

 

So, overall I enjoyed this book. I had fun reading it & enjoyed seeing these characters again. I truly missed Verena & Dacre and this book picks up right where we left off in the end of book 1. We see the aftermath of the decisions made once some big secrets are revealed in the last book. Did this book have action? Yes. Spicy scenes, yes, some. Dirty mouthed Dacre moments mixed with some yummy groveling on top? Absolutely! 

 

This book was definitely a quick read & fast paced. And it was a true second book in the series, in the sense that it served as an in-between for the events in book 1 & everything that will come to a head in book 3. 

 

I enjoyed seeing the progression of Verena & Dacre’s relationship and the events that occurred in this book to help it develop further. With that said, I was left wanting more development as individual characters, as well as both of them as a couple. I also wished some of their moments together, that to me seemed pivotal, lasted a bit longer. But with that said, I ATE THIS UP. 

 

The ending left me feeling like I was in fight or flight mode. I was READY to jump into this book and throw HANDS. It definitely left me looking forward to book 3 & I am sure I will be devouring that one as well.
