The fact that I have to wait for book 3 and the only information I have that there will be a book 3 is from a comment feed on the authors' Instagram last year has me dying!!!!

I am so in love with this plotline. It just kept getting more and more dramatic. We jump right back into our story as Van and Skye continue to navigate the new places they will hold in their futures, but will it be together? I was on the edge of my seat so much in this book! Every time I thought one dramatic bombshell was about to be dropped, something else would enter the chat that would take that situation to an even higher level! The amount of hanging in the balance with secrets and high tension situations in this book is what kept me binge reading the entire time.

The one thing you can be sure of is Van and Skye's love for each other, but as more players enter the chat, the more complicated things get and so much miscommunication happens in between life threatening situations at every turn. One choice will be made and before things can follow suit, something swoops in and complicates everything leaving people scrambling non stop and fighting for the power of the new lead in their families futures both as independent energies and as a whole. Blood related or not.

Emotions are brought into play, and old history between past lovers pulls in feelings that make your stomach sick, and Skye is pushed to the limit once again at the hands of so many. All while just simply wanting the love of her life. Who in turn only wants her back yet everything and everyone else seems to have other plans. Navigating through the high stress, action packed moments, kidnappings, fighting, gun battles, emotional battles, secrets, lies, history that carries more pains than have even been laid out, was just a phenomenally entertaining read.

The amount of drama and stress I walked out had me pacing, screaming, and talking to myself! I have never wanted to jump into a book like this one. I became addicted to the characters and felt so strongly in defending the love that Skye and Van had fought so hard to reach, yet everyone wants to try and take away. Rather, a distraction or a secret, their love is truly being put through it all, and even at the end of this book, it isn't finished.

There are still so many things unanswered by the close of this book. So many secrets are still left hidden. I was taken to the edge in every chapter, barreling through this plot that just never let up the entire time! But once we reached the end, it didn't have as big of an impact because the story isn't over... there is still so much more for Van and Skye to learn about each other and those around them. And I can not wait until we get those answers.

I will be heavily following any news of our next installment. I sure hope we get it!!!

If you like romance with a lot of plot, twists, turns, drama, secrets, family darkness and lies, heavy intermingled relationships, Irish mafia, action and a perfect amount of spice, I heavily suggest this series!!

Here's an expanded version of your text, adding more descriptive language and detail:

"As the highly anticipated second installment in this captivating series, this book immediately plunges the reader back into a world brimming with danger, intrigue, and undeniable passion. The author masterfully tightens their grip, pulling you even further into the labyrinthine depths of Skye and Van's tumultuous, often perilous, love story. Their relationship, a magnetic and volatile force, is even more intensely explored here. But it's not just about them; the complex web extends to the entire 'family' – a collection of characters whose loyalty and intentions are perpetually shrouded in ambiguity, making every interaction a potential minefield.

From the very first page, the narrative is a relentless rollercoaster of shocking revelations and unforeseen betrayals. The intricately woven plot guarantees you'll be constantly on edge, questioning every motive, every alliance, and desperately trying to predict the next earth-shattering event. Trust is a luxury few can afford, and the reader is left perpetually guessing who the true allies and enemies are.

Amidst the chaos and never-ending threats, the scorching chemistry between Skye and Van remains an undeniable constant. Even when moments of fragile calm descend, their raw, consuming passion is a force that cannot be contained, their physical connection serving as both a dangerous solace and a powerful testament to their bond.

More than just a thrilling ride, this book is a pivotal chapter in Skye's personal evolution. It's a compelling narrative of her shedding vulnerabilities and truly coming into her own, discovering and embracing a formidable inner strength that will undoubtedly prove crucial in the battles yet to come. Her transformation is both inspiring and deeply satisfying to witness.

The narrative reaches a satisfying, albeit tantalizing, conclusion, providing enough resolution to feel complete while simultaneously flinging open a massive, irresistible door to the next stage of their saga. The seeds for future conflict and deeper revelation are expertly sown, leaving readers desperately craving more. With whispers of a third book on the horizon, my anticipation is soaring, and I'm eagerly, impatiently awaiting any news regarding its release date."

2.5 ⭐️ After finishing the first book, I was excited to continue Skye’s and Vans story. However I was incredibly disappointed, honestly it was just too much of them being separated and everyone was out to abduct Skye to get to Van. For a book of less then 200 pages they spent like 20 of those pages together. And they’re now engaged and she’s abducted again. Also the grammar errors were way more persistent in this book. I will not be reading any future books in this series, even though the book end with the opening of another story.

Enjoyed this one as much as the first one. Skye is a badass and Van will burn the world for her. I wish we could see his reaction to the miscarriage she mentions to us. Also, I really wish Van and the other girl didn’t sleep together before he left. Anyway, enjoyed this one and also ends on a cliff hanger. Hopefully there is a book 3 and we get a HEA.

A good ending

The multiple abductions could have been less but it was a great finish to the duology I liked it,
Skye should have “got into the roll” sooner but that was hard with her being kidnapped multiple times

Novella Series

I enjoyed the character development through this book, but waiting another year for an ending will be complicated. Great writing style and easily digested though.

A little longer than the first book but it just felt like the same thing over and over again. I love the characters though that’s why it is getting 3 stars.
