The Cassanos #2
Consumed
Consumed, the second book of The Cassano Series, is packed full of suspense and takes the heat to a whole new level. Victoria must sort out her feelings for Reggie and Adrian. How will Reggie handle working with her after he hears the truth? When Victoria’s impulsivity causes more trouble for her career, Adrian teaches her how to control that brazen behavior by encouraging her to trust him in unforeseen ways. Victoria soon discovers the sizzling acts that go on behind closed doors at Hotel Submission and Casino. More than one Cassano brother finds love, and consequential secrets are revealed. What will Adrian’s brother, Simon, do when he uncovers that Victoria is a cop? Will Victoria forgive once she realizes she has been deceived, as well? Concealment must be read prior. This novel is for a mature audience due to harsh language and descriptive sexual scenes.

Phenomenal!
Scarlet has continued to amaze me with her characters and strong storylines! Victoria and Adrian continue falling in love and can't keep their hands off each other. But Will the secret Adrian has been hiding from Victoria ruin their chances of ever having what both of them have needed all their lives? Consumed introduces us to Victoria's nerdy sister Sadie and gives us clues of the Cassano brothers. Which I must say are all hot in their own way. I'm so excited and patiently waiting for book 3. Consumed has everything, action, mystery, romance, and a little humor. MORE PLEASE!!!!!

WOW!!!! Scarlet has done it yet again. This is the second book in the series, and it definitely ramps up the tension and excitement. There are twists and turns, questions answered and questions that leave you wanting more. You see Adrian's softer side and fall more in love with him and Victoria. You also get more in-depth with Adrian's and Victoria's siblings. You will completely fall I love with Sadie (Victoria's sister) and Simon (Adrian's brother). Who does Victoria pick? Will she find out Adrian's secret's? You get some answers in this 2nd book. Scarlet did an amazing job of giving you information, but left you wanting more. You will not regret reading this series even though there is a major cliffy. Way to go Scarlet, can't wai for book 3.

AMAZING!!! Scarlet has once again left me speechless and in complete love with her book! Adrian and Victoria are a match and their story takes twists and turns every chapter! I love the way they love with no regrets and how they are so right for each other! Oh boy even better we get to see into the lives of the other brothers! These boys are hot and every woman's fantasy! I can not wait till book 3 and let me be the first to tell you if you haven't read all of Scarlet's books you are missing out!

Holy intense batman! This was a great way to continue the series. You think you know what's going on or what's going to happen, then BAM, Scarlet hits you with a surprise. Can't wait to read more about the Cassano brothers.

I'm very happy I started this series, and not only for the hot model on the cover ;-). Things are getting messy in the Cassano world. Hurray! How I like it when characters become entangled on all levels. Victoria is facing an ultimatum from her cop partner, who by the way has been harbouring not only strong feelings for her, but also a couple of secrets himself.
Another one with lots of secrets is my favourite hot casino owner, Adrian Cassano. He's running so many operations that's hard to keep up, but I adore his mixture of gentlemanly manners, good intentions, and sexy, quirky tastes behind doors.
Also, there is a good portion of the story dedicated to Simon one of the appealing Cassano brothers, and Sadie, Victoria's little sister. It becomes as playfully sexy and meaningful as the main story. This whole family is full of hot-blooded brothers I'm eager to meet!
The relationship between Adrian and Victoria deepens in a wonderful way, and I loved every minute of it. She's still wildly stubborn, he wants to give her the world, protect her from himself and his own dark endeavors while he shows her how to let go of her trust issues in the most delightfully naughty way. It's sweet and sexy as hell. The connection between them is sensual, but keenly romantic. I relished the feeling it gave off of two people who trust each other, love each other against their own incredulity, and feel at peace because they are loved.
Regarding the mysterious plot, it starts to leak and make both their lives miserable as they realize how utterly incompatible certain things are. When she's told about Adrian's dealings, she freaks out whi I thought was a bit too much as it's obvious she doesn't know half of it yet. This part is really interesting as family matters, shady business and deeply romantic gestures collide in a strong finale.
The author has a very fluid and easy style that makes the story just flow through your mind. I loved that parting sentence from Victoria. So determined and full of finality. Definitely looking forward to the next novel in the series!

This book starts off were Concealment left us. Victoria is in the hospital after her attack. Adrian is beside himself and wants to protect her. Victoria has only one thing on her mind is to be back in Adrian's arms. Victoria knows Adrian is still keeping something from her about the club's and hotel. He is ready to to come clean but will she be able to accept what the truth and nothing but the truth. We get to know the brothers more to and OMG I am so in love with Simon and let me tell you I didn't like him at first, but Sadie and Simon are the next it thing if Sadie has anything to say, but Simon being stubborn doesn't want to bring her into his world. These two couple have their problems one being coming from two totally different Worlds in life but put them together and sparks fly. Ready to see what will happen in book 3. I enjoy this book.

OMG Scarlet you have done it again! I loved Consumed it was awesome. I cried at times, my heart was racing I couldn't read fast enough. So glad I got to see and hear more about Adrian's family. And Victoria's sister Sadie. What a cliff hanger bring it on cause I can't wait for more!
March 22, 2015
One thing is for sure little did I realize until not even half way through this novel she should of had a disclaimer or warning stating that once you began the journey of this one it would do just like the title and consume you the reader also. Since I did read the first one of this series I was able to slide right in and reconnect quickly with the characters that have the ability to be like the deluxe washer and churn and wring a array of emotions from you while you are fused to their story. You are also given more of a glimpse of the writing ability of this author as she expands with Victoria's sister also being more prominent with her character being quirky, smart a spunky match to her. Sadie will also be head butting up against one of Adrian's brothers Simon who after first meeting will take a time or two to quit inserting that foot into whatever places he should place it but you will come to love him anyways. Her weave in this revealing more layers of what is really going on while you experience the relationships that are taking place gives the growth perfectly so not to suffocate while we are being consumed. The level of drama is the perfect pitch and do find myself liking this more than the first one not taking away from the fact that one is good too. I say this because of the revealments that occur in this and the interplay as you journey with these two couples is why I referred to that deluxe washer. Drama with the intensity level perfect with the lava melting heat of romance is the bone melting kind at its best. I say though that revelation that comes forth at the point right towards the end when you think things might gonna go ok will be something that will come out of left field so you better duck if you don't want to get hit in the head leaving you stunned because you are done and spent. Received a copy for a honest review.

Excellent!
OMG! Just finished my ARC of Consumed and Scarlet didn't let us done again with the great cliffhanger! What an amazing book/series. The story lines were so awesome. I cried and fell in love with new characters and deeper in love with Victoria and Adrian. The story line between Victoria's nerdy sister Sadie and Adrian's younger brother Simon (who I didn't like very much in Concealment) was breath taking to say the least. For the man whore Simon was to fall in love with the goody too shoes Sadie is was phenomenal. Who would of thought? With Adrian and Victoria their love has complicated both of their jobs but in the long run is their job or their love more important? I loved watching these two fight their love for one another off to falling madly, stupidly, happy in love with each other. I loved watching Victoria give a piece of herself to Adrian she never gave to anyone else and Adrian forgiving people he never thought he would. Then there is Reggie makes you wonder with a friend/partner like that who needs enemies. The ending still has me in tears thinking what will happen next that having to wait for coercion book 3 is going to kill me.

another brilliant read from scarlet Wolfe <3
consumed gives you curvebals, love, heartache, anguish and many more of those steamy scenes that we all love!!
consumed is written from Adrian,Victoria,Simon& Sadie's POV:
Adrian and Victoria have many hurdles to overcome, will the truth bring them together or tear them apart?? is there new love strong enough to conquer what is written in the past??
when Simon and Sadie meet, they don't exactly get off on the right foot, but Simon is a man who know's what he wants and is determined to get just that!
(I found myself falling hard for Simon in this book) i still love Adrian ;)
so scarlet threw many curve balls into this book things started to become clear! she has a wonderful way of conveying emotions, there are some pretty hard topics in this book, but they are done with great care #slowclap.
I cannot wait to see where this story will go next. #warning another of scarlet's signature endings
I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of consumed from the author. :)
if you haven't yet started this series I urge you to :*

WOW!! This was my first ARC book. I received it in exchange of an honest review. I love Scarlet's book and this one did not disappoint. I read the Concealment book when it came out and this one picks up beautifully! Absolutely love Adrian and Victoria! Cant wait for the next book. Would have loved to read more of Simon and Sadie's story. Looks like the story is going to be just as good. Adrian and Victoria's story has me laughing, crying and swooning the hole way. I just know they will find heir HEA!!
March 23, 2015
Follows the cliff hanger ending of Concealment which I loved. Victoria wakes up in the hospital, her secrets revealed to Adrian and Adrian finds out about Reggie. This is a crazy love triangle with a lot of questions still to be answered. Adrian has lots of family drama in this piece of the story as well. Interesting mix of POV from Victoria, Adrian, his brother Simon and her sister Sadie. Lots of twists, turns and excitement and a crazy cliff hanger Come on Scarlet when is the next book out??? Loved it
March 19, 2015
CONSUMED was burning hot and smoldering! My heart aches for Victoria & Adrian. I wish she would let him explain! Now I have to wait for the next book to come out left with Victoria rejecting Adrian!! After all they've been through, she chose to shut him out!!! I'm so glad for Simon & Sadie but I fear that Noah isn't going to let this go...I just want Juice Box & Ace together!

Love it
I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book. I love it!!!! I fell even more in love with Adrian, but Simon...he is something else. He started stealing the show and had me giggling. This book kept coming with tidbits of information about the Cassano family and the business. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on book 3 to find out more and to see what happens next.

~5 AMAZING STARS! REVIEW TO COME~
March 23, 2015
Consumed by Scarlet Wolfe
Complimentary copy received in exchange for an honest review.
This is the second novella in this series and should not be read before the first book in the series.
Adrian and Victoria are back! I am honestly shocked that I made it this long between books. After being injured on the job, Victoria is trying to recover and balance a relationship with Adrian, while also trying to juggle her partner, Reggie's protective and sometimes overbearing personality. Reggie wants a relationship with Victoria but it's more complicated than that, he is involved with Adrian, and Victoria is unaware. Adrian also has more secrets from Victoria that he has not let on about yet.
This is a steamy novella that only Scarlet could deliver. This is a quick escape from reality into a world of suspense, love, and deceit. This book wasn't just about Victoria and Adrian, it will introduce more of Adrian's brother Simon, and Victoria's sister, Sadie, just enough to make you want more of them as well! I will forewarn you, this ends with a severe cliffhanger, I had to flip back just to make sure I hadn't made a mistake!
Thank you to the author, Scarlet Wolfe, for the opportunity to read and review this book. This is a series of Novellas not to be missed!

New Characters Added to the Steaming Pot!!
This is Scarlet Wolfe's second book in the CASSANO SERIES. It picks up where Consumed left off,with Adrian and Victoria. This second book delves more into the secrets that are keeping Adrian from Victoria. Consumed also adds new characters into the mix! Welcome Sadie and Simon,Victoria's sister and Adrian's brother. They add some heat to the story,as well as another set of problems for Adrian and Victoria. Simon is fully aware of his brother's secrets,and his business dealings. How will this effect His relationship with Sadie? I Love how the author,Scarlet Wolfe, is adding new characters into the story! It makes the characters more believable,and adds another dimension to the story. I can't wait to see what's in store for us in the next book of this series!

ARC received in exchange for an honest review...
This is the second installment in the Cassano Series and I am super excited to read the next!
I absolutely love Adian and Victoria. While I didn't care too much for Simon in the first installment, I love him now! He and Sadie are the cutest I swear. I am seriously hoping he gives their relationship an honest shot.
Reggie is on my naughty list because his selfishness cause so much problems for Adrian and Vicky!
I seriously can't wait to see how this all ends.

This series is amazing
I read book one and couldn't wait to get to book 2. This is an amazing series. It is sexy, suspenseful and holds you through every word!

This is book 2 in the Cassano Series and you will need to read them in order so you know what's going on. I'm so glad I didn't have to wait to read this one after Concealment as I don't do well with cliffies...which this one has too. Just giving you a heads up! In Consumed, you will definitely want to consume the whole book in short order. This book really pulls you in and won't let you go. I love that feeling when I read.
Let's just say secrets are revealed and boy are there secrets...but can everyone deal with them? There is definitely no denying the chemistry between Victoria Hart and Adrian Cassano as you will see..but what I didn't see coming was Simon Cassano falling head over heals for Victoria's "nerdy" younger sister Sadie. I laughed so hard the way they met...it was perfect. Make sure you have a fire extinguisher near by since the sparks that fly between these people may start a fire! Really can't wait to read Book 3!

Boy, talk about some excitement and some tension! We learn more about the characters that surround Victoria and Adrian. We get to know the rest of the Cassano brothers and Victoria's partner, Reggie. Let's just say, none of them are too thrilled with Victoria and Adrian's relationship.
Reggie wants Victoria for himself and if he can't have her, he certainly doesn't want her to fall for a criminal. Victoria must sort her feelings for each man and decide who she wants to go forward with.
As we get to know the rest of the brothers, we learn about their lives and watch as they slowly fall in love, no matter how much they don't want to. Sometimes our feelings just aren't ours to control.
The suspense deepens and the mystery deepens. Can't wait to see where Scarlet takes us next.

This is the second book in the series and you DO need to read Concealment before you read this book.
This book did focus on Victoria and Simon's relationship and was told in both of there POV. It was great to see Adrian and Victoria grow in their love and relationship. They had their hot and steamy scenes. In this book it brought Sadie (Victoria's sister) and Simon (Adrian's brother) into the mix. Ms. Wolfe not only concentrates on the romance between the two couples but we also see into the backstory of why Adrian is doing for his family.
This book will bring you romance and angst. It was great to see all of the characters grow. And them wham she hits you with a cliffhanger that will leave you saying WTH. I can't wait to see where book 3 leads us.

Another really enjoyable read. Book two though not only deals with Adrian and Victoria's relationship but we get to see another Cassano brother fall in love. Simon and Sadie's relationship unfolds thru out this novel as well. Between these two couples the pages really heat up when it comes to their sex lives. Again we are left with a cliffhanger at the end so I'm really looking forward to the third book.

Wow! Another great book. You will have to read Concealment to know what is happening in Consumed. This series just keep getting better—I could not put it down. There is so much suspense, twists, and intrigue that you are not sure what is going to happen next. I love the characters of Adrian and Victoria and the love they have developed for each other. Cannot wait to read book 3 to find out what happens.
July 1, 2015
Another brilliant read :) I love how this book is from Adrian Victoria Simon and Sadies point of view this book leaves my wanting more and I can't help but fall in love with both men its the way they are bad boys but have hearts of gold what girl wouldn't want that. I'd recommend every one to read these series and I promise you won't be disappointed
June 15, 2015
I was excited about this one but it fell flat. Authors introduction of Simon and Sadie's story didn't help. I wanted a conclusion to MC story. It ended on a cliffhanger but with the way the author is spreading this out, I probably won't get next book.
April 26, 2016
Wow!! Another amazing read by Scarlet Wolfe. This book is very well written and the characters are very well developed. I found that this book was very hard to put down and I cant wait to read the next book in this series.
August 10, 2016
What a amazing book. Scarlet has once again made me fall in love with her books. Victoria and Adrian continue to fall in love but they can't keep their hands off each other. With the secret that Adrian is hiding cause problems.
Can't wait for book 3
