Rate this book
His error in judgment cost him everything…

Marcus Reider finally found the love of his life. He had everything he could ever want until it all came crashing down around him. When Marcus’s secrets destroy everything he had built with Gwen, he’ll do anything to get her back. Even if that means facing his own past and sacrificing everything for the woman he loves.

Her broken trust might be irreparable…

Gwendolyn Jacobs thought that she had found forever. That was until Marcus shattered everything she knew. The tender trust she built with him is nothing but a web of lies forcing the ghosts of her past to resurface. Once again, Gwen goes looking for peace in all of the wrong places. Anything to take the pain away.

His persistence could salvage their relationship or destroy their future…

Marcus’s truths have the power to bring Gwen back to him, but the risks of following his heart are high. The shadows that haunt them can take advantage. They’re stronger together, but is their love enough to keep the darkness at bay?

Their darkest truths have consequences…

I didn't think it could get spicier?! I thought wrong! Loved this just as much as the first book if not more, I feel like the characters are even more fleshed out and I love Gwen so much! I can't wait for the next book, I highly recommend if you love smutty romance with lots of twists!

I’m really invested in this story and that was a terrible ending 😫 I’m assuming she planned to keep writing and then didn’t? Or hasn’t? UGHHHHH.

I cannot fault this book, again I read this in one sitting because the story was so captivating and the will they won’t they aspect had me hanging on by a thread.
Dual pov is going to win every time for me, it’s a game changer and I just love that we’re able get inside Marcus head.
This book deals with real life issues, raw and honestly and you can’t help but sympathise with Gwen because none of her issues are downplayed and I love Adrienne for this.
Yes this book does have another cliffhanger but not one like the first book thank god for that!
This book answered some questions but not enough that I’m satisfied with this story I cannot wait until the third book comes out so I can binge all 3 books together. - highly recommend x
Oh and I’ve declared Adrienne the queen of spice because the spice in this book is PHENOMENAL 🔥

She did it again...🧎‍♀️🙌🏻
I can not tell you how much the title of this book explains the book itself. I feel like once you read it, you will understand what I mean.
It starts straight from the absolute shocker where the first book left us. I was dyinnnn to get my hands on book 2 btw and damn I'm more in love than ever.
THE SPICE! You ain't ready. You think you might be but damn it went from hotttt to absolutely scorching.
There is also a lot of emotion in this book but you will start to understand certain things and get answers to some of your questions while new questions arise. Obvs.
There is a lot happening, let me tell you that now. A lot to process but it is 10/10.
Can't wait for book 3! 🥳🥳

*ARC in exchange for an honest review*

We are picking up right where we left off. That cliffhanger in book 1 nearly killed me so rolling right back into the story was great.

This book was a perfect second book. It has everything I wanted and more.
I don’t know how often can you scream NO at a book, but I can tell you it’s a lot. I switched sides every single chapter and it felt like a rollercoaster ride. The characters are relatable, the story gets more debt and the spice is 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

One of my favorite quotes in this book was “I wish that I was capable of hating you”. It embodies the characters and my feelings about the book perfectly. I cannot wait for the third book.

EEEEEK!
That is not where I thought that was going. Poor girl can’t catch a break. 💔
ADRIENNE… I need to knowwwwww.

Marcus favorite:
“I won’t let you drown in it. The feeling.
And let me be clear, I don’t care that you kissed him the day that I found you drunk on your kitchen floor or that you didn’t tell me about it. I don’t care how many men you were with before I knew you. I don’t even care that you slept with him. All I care about is you. I care about being with you now and for as long as you’ll have me. You are worth it. You’re worth all of it and the love I feel for you is unparalleled. So no, I won’t bring the bottle.” 😩
