Book 1 ended in a cliffhanger, which I love. Book 2 started a month from where book 1 ended. I usually don't like books where the father does not know that he has a child. However, the heroine did not know the father's name. The writing flowed and it kept my attention, but I am not ready to spend money on each novella.

I bought this book (part 2) for $.99. It was about 58 pages. Book 3 is also about 58 pages and $.99. I noticed that book 4 (the final book) is $2.99 and only 150 pages. I liked book 1 and 2, but I don't think it is worth it for me to pay $.99 for each novella and then $2.99 for the final book that is only a little bit longer than a novella. This series is not on Kindle Unlimited, so I think I will quit at book 2. I know that the complete series is $4.49, but at this point, I don't want to spend more money on a series that I already own half of. I will wait for it to go on KU. If it never goes on KU then book 2 is the end for me.

As I mentioned, I liked book 1 and book 2, but it did not grab me enough where I was "I NEED THE REST NOW!!!" Let me know if this ever goes on KU.

WOW! Isaac tries to stay away from Simone but realizes he can't though his approach in getting her back into his life wasn't well thought out so confusion and chaos follow which I loved. We also get Isaac's POV in this installment so the mystery of his "master" life is revealed. This is a great balance to Simone's story and I think it was needed to really understand what he wants with Simone. I don't want to reveal to much of what happens because, as with of all of Violet Haze's stories, there are great twists that you don't see coming that reveal themselves in ways that captivate you as the reader. Is there a chance for a future with Isaac and Simone? That remains to be seen so I am eagerly awaiting part 3!

I like this story and I liked this book, but this book frustrated me a lot. A month goes by after Simone last seen Isaac. He knows that he should leave her alone, but he can't. In this book we learn that Isaac was her Master that she is in love with and the father of her son. We also learn that Isaac has feelings for her as well and that he knows that he is the boys father. The whole kidnapping fantasy was her ex-husbands idea and that she had know idea. The book frustrating because I wanted to know more about both of them. We know that Isaac was paid to do it and that he stopped after her and that he is rich and sexy. I wanted to learn more about Simone why she never said stop. I know that this is a series and I hope that in the next book everything will come out.

A new author for me

I was surprised by this book. It was a quick read. I didn't want to put it down. Well written. I'm really looking forward to the new installments

We start off part two with a pretty nasty Simone attitude full of f-bombs and slapping when Isaac surprises her outside the diner again. I thought it was interesting to see the difference in the Simone in this book compared to the Simone in the first book after just a month of time passing. Bitter maybe because of the ending of book 1 (which I will not go into detail about in case you haven't read it yet)? Isaac takes her for a ride so they can talk and she notices they are getting farther away from where she lives, she flips out and there is an accident. This part was done really quickly, you almost miss it, but don't worry you will get the full details on the accident later on. This accident leaves Simone needing to recuperate and unable to be moved so her, Malik and Helen are staying with Isaac. You might think that this would prove to be disastrous for Isaac and you would be right. He's unable to keep the secret for long and one innocent little blanket mistake has more Simone f-bombs dropping. Can Simone stop cussing and is Master going to be able to punish her properly? Or will his deception be too much for Simone?
Unlike in part one which was entirely in Simone's POV, part two has 2 chapters in Isaac's POV, so we get to see what's going on in his head during all this time and I have to say I absolutely love being in Isaac's mind. Can't wait for more!

A month goes by before Simone hears or sees Issac. But with him trying to distant himself from her he has found he is more drawn to her. And after finiding ut what her now ex husband had done and Issac giving him a seeing to that he wont forget in a hurry.

Just what is Issac hiding and how does he know so much about Simone and her past?
Will Simone figure out Issac before she gets in to deep or will she leave?

We still don't find much about Issac and why he lives the way he lives but we do get his POV and a small insight into his past and I do hope Violet goes into more of this over the next couple of books.

I was drawn in with Violet's writing I couldn't put the book down but I guessed one bit from the first book and with the answer revealed in this one I was right, but sorry not going to give spoiler away. Can't wait for more of this series and be warned the book does end on a cliffhanger and will leave you cursing {heck I curse when I finish every book}. Had a few lol moments when reading this and may I add don't read first few chapters in public as you tend to get stared at for laughing. Anyway enjoy this series

The second part of this serial starts out a month after the first ends. Issac has tried to stay away but once again he is drawn to Simone and feels the need to help take care of her. Simone is as always, resistant to his desire to insinuate himself in her life. When Issac decides it's time for him to take matters in his own hands, things don't exactly go as planned. I don't want to give away too much more of the plot so just make sure you pick this one up! Even though each "part" of this story is short, they really pack a punch! So much happens in Part Two and I cannot wait to find out what will transpire next!

WOW! I did not expect that!!! What an amazing book. In this book we learn who Isaac really is. This book keeps taking turns that you don't expect. YOU have to read them if you want something interesting and that will take you away!

Twists and sexy times

It just keeps getting better!!

Simone is getting a second chance of sorts. Isaac is trying to find a way to tell her his secrets but she figures it out. What will happen next!!

[Debra · Rating 3 out of 5]

The second in this very short story...you get the story on what happened, why it happened and who is the baby daddy...

[Michelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Only complaint too short!

[Cree Nations · Rating 5 out of 5]

I couldn't read fast enough. I felt Simone's sense of loss, and desire like it was my own.

Very good write.
