Serpentine Duet #2

Deliver the Devil

Rate this book
The Star. The Knight. The Ace. The Beast. The Devil.

I made a deal with the Knight and turned my back on the Devil. All for the sake of magic, a path to regaining my future.

Our Star, to have and to take.

But nothing is that simple.

You’re on your knees for us, and together…we’ll rise.

Not where desire is concerned.

We know what's inside you. We know your dreams. And we know that deep down, you'll stop at nothing to make them happen.

Not when the offer comes to rise again.
Together.
For a price.

Power beyond measure. We can give it to you.

Not when hearts twist and a serpent lurks in each of us, waiting to devour.

Deliver the Devil is the second book in the Serpentine Duet, a twisty NA romance with supernatural and reverse harem elements.

Deliver the Devil is a fabulous conclusion to the Serpentine duet. I got the answers I really needed in book 1 and more insight to Daisy and her four men. It was an intense and very steamy ride. There’s a little of everything. MF, MMMMF, MMF and these sex scenes are all very well written. Phew… Talk about combustible.

I was really intrigued by the consequences of magic and being drawn to it. Getting your desires and being powerful cause there’s always debts to pay. Daisy and her men learned that the hard way but the important lesson was that they took something away from that lesson.
There’s a lot of steam but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a love story cause there is. It was refreshing that it wasn’t the usual HEA. Daisy, Reeve, Nate, Blake and Evan form a connection that proves to be more powerful than any magic and it was everything from entertaining, suspenseful and hot as hell.

The ending was so weird and both made no sense and wasn’t like satisfying like idk the whole rh but not thing doesn’t rlly make sense to me. Overall just rlly reinforces my no TikTok recs.

Deliver the Devil by Miranda Silver was an explosive mix of so many intense things. Magic. Desire. Lust. Friendship. Power. Evil. Love. Loss. Hope. Redemption. It has a dark hedonistic vibe and a dreamy yet edgy feel. This new adult reverse harem fantasy romance was definitely unique.

We are back to Pacific West university for the finale of the duet. Reeve the mastermind and financial guru. Nate the rising NFL star. Evan the musical maestro. Blake the master chef.They are all bound together by the dark magic of the serpent who has given them their power. Daisy is their star and they need her pure power and beauty to perform a final ritula that will catapult them to an unparalleled glory. But at what cost?


This story is extremely steamy and dark. It has an erotic energy that is sometimes too hard to handle. Desire or passion is the driving force of the serpent. And so the worshippers have to feed him that. Daisy and his men have a scorching hot lusty connection. But in this story, their emotional connection was strengthened. Reeve gave in to his love for Daisy and let himself feel. Nate accepted his forbidden feelings for his sister's best friend aka Daisy. Evan gave in to his dark obsession and got consumes whole. And Blake is somewhere in middle of the darkest and the lightest part. Daisy accepted her potential as a musician and witch and let the men in her body and soul. I didn't see that twist coming after the powerful ritual. And it was a very interesting take. It is the age old battle of evil and good. The serpent possessed them and let their feelings get twisted. Greed and desperation can never be driving force of something great. And these people got almost destroyed. The ending was fitting and definitely surprising. Love is the most powerful magic in this world after all.

Deliver the Devil by Miranda Silver was sensual, suspenseful and full of filthy twists.

Creepy haunting wise I preferred the first book, as well as relationship balance. The second book is Reeve heavy, the other three are still there for Daisy fun times, but Blake is with Nathan and Evan is on his lonesome. Apart from Evan this one pretty much went the way I thought it would. I started to dislike Daisy when she became another one to pretty much skim a contract before signing and when she was under the serpent’s power.

Was gutted about Evan and still have mixed feelings about his choices. I liked that things with the friend were sorted and even after the guys lost everything, they still managed to succeed. I also liked that the scars and signs remained even after the serpent was gone, as well as Daisy’s final talk with it. An interesting duet involving dark magic and possession. Everything was wrapped up nicely.

3.5/5 rounding up to 4.

Thank you to Miranda and her team for the amazing opportunity for reading an advance copy of the conclusion to the Serpentine Duet.

I enjoyed this installment but I had some issues with it. Mainly with the pacing and development. But the ending really saved my reaction because it was written so well and sweet. It’s probably my favorite part from the whole duology.

All of my questions were answered in this book. There were many secrets kept in the dark in book 1, but the more I read the more light gets shed on the situation.

Miranda’s craft was creative and unique to this series. It’s unlike anything I’ve read before. I wouldn’t necessarily call it a reverse harem because it’s very different from the standard. It has the vibes of a reverse harem, and there are definitely scenes that live up to the trope.

I think this series would’ve worked better as one book, cutting a few scenes here and there. This duology might read better if you read book 1 then immediately go into book 2 since the story picks up where book 1 ended.

The smut was fantastic as always. But this time as I was reading it and really understanding the relationships at hand not all had the same levels of romance. I liked this since there’s a lot of relationship that can happen between five people. It added depth that it doesn’t always get address in reverse harems. Typically in reverse harems the love interests all have the same relationship with the fmc, but this duology gave a new perspective.

Overall I enjoyed reading Deliver the Devil. There were moments I loved and some I didn’t care for, but overall I loved reading a new genre Miranda hadn’t done before. I’m excited to see what she’ll do next!

4/5 ⭐️ I couldn’t stop reading this for the first 60%!! While the first book ended on a cliffhanger, this one started right where we left off and moved quickly for the first 60-70%. All the questions I had about the secret society/brotherhood were answered by the 50% mark when we get to The Joining (holy hotness 🥵🔥🌶🥵🔥🌶)
The spice in this book was insane, and overally I enjoyed the conclusion to this story! My only criticism is that I feel like the ending dragged on a bit longer than necessary and I became antsy to finish it.
If you’re looking for a duet with RH vibes, tons of kinky group activities, magic/witchcraft, a Switch fmc, secret societies, multi-pov, and a LOT of praise, this is def the duet for you!!

This could have been the perfect book but like... it didn’t really give anything. Until 40% it was good but after that it lost me and then I skipped it to last 15% and it is pretty much meh.

We learned about the magic plot too late in my opinion and the hints about the plot was there but they were to vague so you couldn’t be sure and then in one scene you learn everything bc daisy reads them from a book. Yeah... this was meh.

Once again, I love that feeling of happily stumbling through a story that is so immersive and hard to get back to reality.🖤 This starts off where Book 1 ended. I can’t say much to avoid ruining the book experience but what happens when anything you ever desire is now obtainable in a blink of an eye?

Daisy, Reeve, Blake, Evan and Nate are all trying to figure out life and the consequences to their actions. All of my questions were answers! Definitely go into this blind and you’re in for a wild ride!

Miranda Silver brought it all with this duet!

The second installation to the Serpentine Duet had an eerie, ritualistic, steamy and tense paranormal vibe and I was utterly loving it. 🖤

I will try to keep this brief and without many spoilers because I 100% feel like this book was written to be enjoyed by going in blind. The development of the main and side relationships in this book was adorable even though they grew in the overall spooky setting of this book. I was completely and utterly shocked by the big plot twist and the eventual resolution of the serpent business and I like when books surprise me like that.

The spice of this book was staggering and you are signing yourself up for a steamy ride with this book. I was hoping for one more scene in the end nevertheless there was enough of the smut in this book, very much so. One character has a dominant streak and you wouldn't expect them to be! 👀

I was overall very happy with the paranormal experience I got by reading this book. I have to mention two things though. I felt like one character's behaviour should have been described in more depth so I would be more ok with them being accepted back and the ending just didn't felt completely finished. This duet isn't your normal reverse harem or your normal MF and I feel like it's special in that way while it makes me a little bit confused if I was completely thrilled by the change or if I would prefer a little bit more brackets I could make around the characters. This might seem confusing but if you read it you might also feel like you need to categorize it but can't. 🙈

Funnily enough, this duet had a very comparable vibe to The Ritual, while being much better handled!

3.5 stars

Thank you, Miranda Silver, for the copy of this book. I received an ARC for free, and I'm leaving this review voluntarily.

Deliver the Devil is part 2 in the Serpentine Duet by Miranda Silver, so if you haven’t read Desire the Star pause here.

We were left with a LOT of questions at the end of Desire the Star, and I was really looking forward to getting those answers in Deliver the Devil. I definitely recommend reading the two books back to back because waiting a month in between was tough for me.

Overall, I thought the duet was okay. While we did end up getting explanations for everything that was happening in book one, I felt as though the writing was a little disjointed. I love a smutty book as much as the next person, but I felt like there was just… too much sex in this one. I know, that sounds crazy, but hear me out. This book has a really strong plot with a ton of potential, but I honestly think it could have been edited down and combined into one longer book. Any time it felt like we were going to get an answer (in both books) a sex scene derailed the whole thing. The answers came in the form of one single info dump chapter, rather than organically through dialogue which I found disappointing as well and took me out of the story.

I am definitely willing to read more Miranda Silver books, but may stick to her contemporary titles moving forward.

Deliver The Devil did not quite live up to my expectations as much as Desire The Star did but I still had a great time reading it! Desire The Star just blew me out of the water with how much I loved it so it was always gonna be hard for this one to match up but trust me, it’s worth the read!

I just felt like that spark that was so prominent throughout the first book was sort of dimmed in this sequel. I know that was part of the point of the plot and how things inevitably go in here so I’m not too upset by it but I did miss that element!

As always, Miranda did an excellent job with the intimate scenes between everyone. I love that she does it in a way where it’s easy to follow and not get lost because that can happen when there’s scenes with 5 people. The dark magic aspects were so good too, especially after the cliffhanger in Desire The Star! And I really loved the ending, the epilogue was my favourite!

Overall, I really enjoyed the duology as a whole and I truly think if you like dark romance with magic, mystery, cults and hot men with snake tattoos, you need to start Desire The Star immediately! I will forever be picking up anything Miranda writes in the future, no matter the genre!

Thank you so much to Miranda Silvers for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Deliver the Devil is the conclusion to the Serpentine duet and this one picks up right where the last one ends. This book has even more magic and spice. The characters continue to develop and grow and the plot was like nothing I’d read before. As always Miranda Silvers writes great smut and the spice in this was frequent and hot

It’s hard to review this book without giving anything away so I’ll just say that this was a great conclusion. All of the questions from the first book get answered and the plot keeps you guessing on what’s going to happen every step of the way… I seriously did not know how this story was going to play out. Although I I didn’t love a few things about the middle of this book the ending made everything worth it and I was very entertained the whole time.

I highly recommend you read this duet but you have to start with the first book, Desire the Star! It’s available on Kindle Unlimited so get reading :)

The absolute best way I can describe this book is a written fever dream. I have no other way to describe it. This duet is definitely an experience. This books answer all the questions I was looking for in book 1. Just like the first book, this one was packed full of smut and a very intriguing experience. Overall, this duet was definitely unique and a very interesting take on magic and mystery.

What a phenomenal dark and twisted conclusion this was. There was so much passion, lust, desire, and evilness throughout that it kept me gripping my kindle tightly not knowing what was going to happen next. It was an explosive mix of emotional turmoil and uncontrollable desire that was insanely erotic and entertaining from start to finish. I got swept up into the story and I never wanted it to end.

Really well written conclusion with a wonderful and satisfying ending that put a smile on my face.

While this book does develop the characters a bit more, it disappointed everywhere else. Once again the conflict was dragged to the very end, making it dreadfully slow to get through the story.

The smut was kind of underwhelming too; I think there was so much potential for group scenes but that only happened once(ish).

If you're looking for a kinky, reverse-harem romance after this, I'd definitely recommend Losers by Harley Laroux. The smut is great and the plot is well-developed.

This book was something. Again, like the movie, The Craft, it kept me on the edge of my seat. I knew that there is a line you don't cross with magic. Everything has to be balanced. That is how I knew that their power was going to come at a cost. I just didn't know how much of one.

This was a ride. It all came full circle. I liked that. I enjoyed the growth of the characters. Reeve is still my favorite but there was something about Evan that drew me in and didn't feel complete at the end of this. I almost want another story in this world. Maybe, with Sasha. Especially since Sasha was brought into this and just left in the air. Daisy was a lucky girl. The steam in this duet? Sweet holy titfire...

Looking forward to what this author writes next.

In all transparency, I was given an ARC of this book in exchange for a review but all of my thoughts and opinions are my own and unbiased.

Deliver The Devil by Miranda Silver is the second book and last book in the Serpentine Duet. The Serpentine Duet is a new adult college paranormal romance duology that has everything you can want including a strong female main character, not just one sexy main male but four… yep, you heard me FOUR, magic (and not just movie magic you see in movies but real witchcraft… you know like Practical Magic!), And of course very steamy scenes.

If you have been following me for a while you might know that I have read and loved every book that Miranda Silver has released so I was ecstatic to receive an ARC for both of the books in the Serpentine Duet.
I will be honest, I was a little hesitant because I am not the biggest paranormal fan. I prefer more light heart contemporary but I was willing to give this one a shot because Miranda Silver has yet to let me down.
I'm not gonna sit here and tell you that this is the best book I've read by her (let's be honest nothing's ever gonna beat Priceless) but I will tell you that it is one of the best paranormal books I have read.
I found the magic system to be incredibly intriguing and unlike any book I have read before. I loved how it showed the consequences of magic and how it can be really easy to lose yourself in it.
It also tells an important story about how fame, power, and riches don't equal happiness. You can have all those things and still not be happy, what will make you happy isn't things in your life but who’s in your life.
I enjoy the characters though I will say that I felt I didn't know a lot about Blake and Even. They felt a little flat and unidimensional compared to Reeve and Nate who we know a lot about. I also feel that Blake and Even didn't have a lot of chemistry with Daisy, that's not to say that they didn't have sexual chemistry because they did, my problem was the romantic chemistry. I honestly wasn't seeing this love she was supposed to feel with them, I definitely saw the love she had for Reeve and Nate but not Blake and Even.
Speaking of Daisy and her romance with the boys, throughout the whole of the first I struggled with who I wanted Daisy to end up with because I absolutely loved her with Reeve but another part of me really wanted her to end up with Nate. Miranda Silver has said that this book is more of a couple with sharing instead of a full-on polyamorous relationship and I was afraid that it was going to leave me unsatisfied with the conclusion of the romance but that was not the case at all. I absolutely loved the way she tied the romance up at the end, I think it worked really well and it made me feel very happy because all of the people I loved ended up together in some way.
This book was definitely more plot-focused than her past books which are definitely more romance-focused. I felt that she did a really good job blending those two things together, the majority of the spicy scenes really helped with the plot and progressed the story.
Continuing with the topic of smut, One of my favorite things about Miranda Silver books is how amazing the smut scenes are. She does a great job at describing and making a scene incredible which was no different in the book. I will say that I did feel like the smutty scenes were a little… for lack of a better word… dull compared to the ones in her other books.
My favorite part of this book has to be the ending! I have to say this is the best ending in a Miranda Silver book I have read so far. Every time I think about how it ended it just makes me smile because it was so well done. It worked so well and closed off the story amazingly. I also may or may not have been crying my eyes out at the end.
The last thing I have to say in this review is that I did find it a little slow in the beginning and it took me a bit to get back into the story.

Overall, it was so amazing to be reading a new Miranda Silver book and I very much enjoyed reading this duet. I highly recommend it to lovers of steamy paranormal romances!

Thank you to Miranda and her team for the opportunity to read this ARC. This honest review was based off my experience reading an ARC, which in no way biased me.

I have to praise Miranda I have never read an urban fantasy quite like this. The magic system is very interesting. It builds on Daisy’s modern witchcraft with her spells, tarot cards, crystals, manifestation, etc. and has the urban fantasy style of magic.

I’m going to be honest. I have finished both books in this duet there are some things that I enjoyed, and some things that needed some work in my opinion.

Things I liked:
- I mentioned it earlier, the magic system is very interesting and probably my favorite part of this duet.
- The Male main characters/love interests were so different and I loved seeing how they interacted with each other and Daisy.
- The smut we always know Miranda delivers.
- The last third of this book is the best part in both books.


Things that could have been better:
- there were some word choices that I tried very hard to ignore or get past but I couldn’t.
- I wasn’t a fan of the FMC character. Her POVs were very difficult to get past.
- Some other elements that I want avoid spoilers for.
- Things happen to the FMC and she accepts it no questions asked, which would be fine if she wasn’t questioning things prior to the events happening, but Daisy was questioning so much and then accepts things blindly.
-The pacing
- Development
-Yes all my questions from book 1 were answered but it was “told” to the reader not “shown” to the reader.
- The FMC would be mad (with reasoning) at the MMCs/MLIs on one page, and then they would have made up the next page. It felt like whiplash to read.

In the end this was a 3 star read as a book, and a 2.5 read as a duet. I had an ok time. I probably will not reread it.

What a delightful end to the series! Filled with an endearing heroine, a compelling story, plenty of sexual tension and actual friendship.

Between the charismatic main character, the tea brewing and the Tarot mythology; this story of slowly unravelling mystery turns to be one of the most well thought-out plots. It was a rollercoaster ride, that kept you on the edge of your seat begging for more! It was a little slow through the middle, but jam packed full of emotions towards the end.

Deliver the Devil is a passionate, steamy, dark college romance. Book 2 sets of right where book 1 ended. Finally giving you the answers to all the mystery and open-ended questions. It was a fun and different take on witchcraft and tarot cards which I found intriguing.

I was shook to the core, with the series of events throughout this one. It was nothing I expected and soo well executed. Watching Nate, Blake, Reeve and Evan come together and overcome their demons was delightful and heart warming. The relationship dynamic between our quintet, did feel a little rushed and unheeded at times, I wanted more of the quiet, shared and tender moments to build the relationship but without it felt like a slight rush to the HEA. If your unsure what your getting with this series it’s a MMMFM with Reverse Harem elements but ultimately MF at the very end (kind of).

To it’s core Deliver the Devil is an intense tail of desire, loss, lust and friendship in a world that is made to break you.

Miranda Silver never misses

Miranda got me hooked with Priceless, so I knew I had to read all of her other books too. The Serpentine Duet was just *chefs kiss* like everything was so perfect. I was so happy with who ended up with who and the stories ending was perfection.

I’ve been trying to work my way into the why choose world, and this series seemed like a perfect starting point. I was so happy with how it went, I loved all of the characters. I laughed, cried, yelled at them, felt all the feels while reading. As always with all of Miranda’s books, the spice was top tier, dirty talk was oh so hot. I could not ask for better. And I can’t wait to have all of her books on my bookshelf.

This story picks up literally right where the first ended. Like the second it ends, this one picks up and I loved that. I felt like we also got more of the other characters POVs in this one than in the first. I really don’t have any complaints at all about this book. Just know that if you read this book, there is A LOT of spice, a lot a lot. It also still fits in so much plot too. The plot is never really lost throughout all the spice, which can happen in books that have a lot, so I was very happy that didn’t happen in this one.

The world of Pacific Crest is definitely one I would love to see revisited in the future.

I was excited to get to book 2 in the serpentine duet because of the cliffhanger from book 1. It picks up right where it left off and didn’t take long for some answers to all the questions we had to start to reveal themselves. However, when we got the majority of the answers, it was in an info dumping chapter which wasn’t my favorite. It threw off the pacing of the book.

We got a lot more spice in this one but it felt like it was a distraction from the plot. Sure, some of it was necessary but something about it was off for me. The magic system was really interesting and I kind of wish we got more of it.

I loved the concept but I think the execution lacked a bit. It needed to be developed more and I think it would have been a really great book. I would have loved to gotten a bit more time to connect with all of the characters, not just Daisy and Reeve, who the story seems more focused on. Without giving too much away, I would have loved to see a bit more groveling from one of the characters instead of being like “oh but I did this and so you met us because of this, so it’s all good right?”

This might be someone else’s vibe but it wasn’t totally mine which makes me a little sad because I was really looking forward to the duet.

Oh my god, this was an addictive read!

The magic continues right where we left off, throwing you right in the centre of the action. That, paired with a fast pace, made this homecoming to these characters seamless. Yet, with the introduction of a new villain, this sequel is delightfully different and all the more consuming. The narrative unravels carefully with exciting twists and turns, raising the stakes of the romance and testing their relationship dynamic.

In this atmospheric unknown world of magic, things are not quite as they seem. No truer words than that as this book went in a completely different direction than I could’ve anticipated. Continually keeping you on your toes as to how the conflicts can be resolved, especially as darker sides of the men are revealed to Daisy.

Whilst still being very hot, the fluff moments stole the show. The scenes of healing and the epilogue, especially, are beautifully sweet. And a satisfying end to this duet.

I love these characters so much and want to spend more time with them but alas, all good things must come to an end. A well deserved 5/5 stars!!

tropes:
- reverse harem
- good girl/bad boys
- magical, atmospheric college setting
- plot twist
- bi rep
- caretaking scenes
- praise/degradation SPICY
- perfect HEA epilogue

thank you for the ARC!

DELIVER THE DEVIL ended exactly how I could have wanted these characters to end. I loved every second of the conclusion and while some parts were difficult to get through (trigger warnings provided by author and important to read) the book ended up being seductive, anxiety inducing, twisty, and truly quite exciting.

I loved the use of magic in the duet and how it was eventually explained in book two. I thought that Miranda did such an awesome job with details in this duet and did not leave me with lingering questions, concerns, etc. I felt satisfied at the close which is something I cannot always say, especially with fantasy! While reading the duet Reeve was my favorite. He remained my favorite, but it’s important to note that other characters started to show their true colors in book two which made the reading experience all the more interesting.

Daisy and the boys find themselves in more trouble in this book and can’t seem to keep their head above water. There is a lot of sex in this book, being that the theme in the series is giving into desires. But who asks for one to give into desire? Surely not a trustworthy source which leads to the main point of who can you trust when the devil is coursing through your veins?

THIS is what I was waiting for during the whole first book. Book 1 wasn’t much of a harem romance, but book 2 is full mmmf/mmf/mfm. The story is admittedly a bit convoluted, but honestly still really cute. I like the lesson the squad learns about not needing magic and I was VERY happy they ALL stayed together in the end :)

I do wish there had been more intimate scenes between the whole group. What we did get was SOOO good 🥵🥵 but it felt like daisy’s connection with reeve took center stage. Nate/blake’s connection was the closest any of the boys ever got emotionally, while book one was really just the daisy/reeve show with glimpses of the other boys (excluding Nathan altogether), which I don’t think is a good dynamic in a mmmf harem romance. I’d be happy to trade the meandering plot in book 1 for more of the boys getting along as a collective (we got waaaay too much of Tara and Sasha and other side characters). Poor Evan really was the odd one out, tho he did deserve it.

There’s definitely room for improvement, but I look forward to any more harem romances this author writes! Just less over complicated plot please.

4.5/5⭐️
4.5/5🌶

MC: Daisy, Nate, Blake, Evan, & Reeve

Multi POV, MM scenes, sex magic, praise, MMF scenes,

Daisy and Reeve have been growing closer and closer since they got back together. Though she can tell there are still things that he isn’t telling her. She’s starting to discover more about the serpent and the magic that the guys are involved in, the reason that she was drawn to the 4 of them. Her connection with Nathan grows as Reeve shows her that she doesn’t have to decide who she wants to be with physically/sexually. Her desire to play her flute again continues to grow and she wonders if she’ll be able to regain the ability to play without pain.
HOLY HOTNESS! I can not say enough about this book. I love Daisy and Reeve together. And I love how he lets her see that he cares deeply about her but still wants her to indulge in the lust she feels for the other guys. I was not expecting the second half of the book though! Holy plot twist! Such a good read for anyone that likes a little magic mixed with their spice.

Deliver the Devil is absolutely the epic conclusion to this immensely sexy and mysterious story that I wanted! The spice level in this book is next level scorching...one of the hottest books I've ever read! But more importantly, the story is completely bewitching. The relationship between Daisy and Reeve grows meaningfully in this book. Reeve's struggle with his very real feelings for Daisy is impassioned and heartfelt. Though her constant draw to the others is inevitable, and it was deeply satisfying when she and Nathan finally forgave and learned to understand each other better! Daisy as The Star explodes in this book. The entanglement of desire and mesmerizing power takes its hold on her in a dangerous, heady way. The build-up to the mysteries surrounding the power of the serpent in the men and learning just how Daisy fits in is action-packed!

The climax of this story is intense, sexy, dark, magical, traumatic, and emotional. This duet is its own exceptionally entertaining mood. Go in blind and trust that you will be left gaping in wonder at the fabulousness of this kinky magical ride!

4.5 rating rounded up to 5

This is book two of the duet! And wow was it everything I needed!!

Daisy emerges from her time in Greer Hill with wounds. The serpent called to her. Reeve takes care of her for a few days and abandons his friends. When he returns home, the guys are not happy. Not only has he not been home but he kept their “Star” away from them.

The forest on Greer Hill continues to call Daisy, and one day she stumbles upon a ritual that’s scares her and she flees.

Reeve and the guys eventually tell Daisy what lies ahead with her being their Star and she accepts her fate. But things are not what they seem.

This book was so steamy 🔥 💦 Like….. get ready for some one handed reading 😂 The connection Daisy has with her guys is exhilarating. There were things that happened that were unexpected. I can’t give anything away about the ending because it was so good! But I’m happy with the way this duet ended.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/ 5
