Fantastic continuation of this series.
The first part was finding out the true nature of businessman Estoban and whether he is the man who killed her late fiancé. To obtain an exclusive interview, Aurora sacrifices her virginity. A world full of passion opens up to her and her heart. Until she finds evidence that he has something to do with the murder. In this part....
An attempt to kill him failed. Estoban decides to show her all of who he is. Not knowing if she will survive, she tries to escape. But there are worse men than Estoban.

An intense story centering on the growth of love in this depraved world. For though Estoban is a criminal, he is also the man who holds her heart captive in his hands...and she has his heart.

Beautiful hot sex scenes abound in this story. I love it.

This book was quite the page turner for me and the chemistry between Aurora and Esteban igniting, then why didn't I give it 5 stars? Well from the very first book the h started out on a mission to unravel secrets to a tragic incident that affected her life and in sequence the life of loved ones. I often found that she strayed from that path and in conclusion she was too forgiving for my liking. I believe that the H should have grovelled more, he should have worked for that forgivness. In turn one would think that a hardened criminal and Alpha male would be a lot more ruthless when it comes to betrayal. But that's just me. This is really a good read and I would definitely recommend it.

Oh So Delicious

This 2nd part of the Duet was just as dark and delicious as the 1st part.  Esteban and Aurora's story is a deep and twisted tale full of deceit, treachery, confusion and love!  
Add to that a lot of Hot steaminess and you've got a magnificent book, with an ending that leads to more exciting stories to come.  Needful Surrender is another fantastic book by Aidee Jaimes!!! I loved it!!!

I adore this author's way of weaving a story. Just when i think the secrets are all out , she brings one out of left field that will leave you with your mouth hanging open in disbelief. Steamy hot scenes with just as hot web being unveiled will leave capitvated with this conclusion of the wicked duet. I highly recommend reading wicked obessession before you start this book .

My Gods, this book had me laughing at the end. Falcon' wits vs Santos' wits. This will be very interesting in future books with them bantering. I loved this book so much. Aurora and Esteban are the perfect match. Kindle melting scenes. This book is twisted, dark, beautiful, intense and very steamy. It's action packed and will have you glued to it from start to finish.

Great continuation to Aurora and Esteban's story. They come together as secrets unfold. The author does a great job pulling you in and kept me reading right to the end and still left me with wanting more. I can't wait for the next book.

A continuation of the Obsessed series it isn’t a standalone pick right up where book one left off so as usual buckle up this is a wild ride, dangerous men, alpha personified, possessive, oh, so gorgeous, brooding all the makings of a deliciously story 😊. There will be guilt, suspense, a little violence, lies, few more lies, betrayal, hope, and of course love.
By the time you’ve figured out who is who and what is what, you’re already hooked, and you may as well give up the fight and prepare yourself for an all-nighter!
Can’t say I didn’t warn you. Aurora isn’t any closer to finding out what she needs to be at peace with what happened to her family and finds herself in a precarious situation meaning what Esteban claimed her as his own well that kind of took away her freedom so to speak but she went into this transaction without all the playing cards just as he wanted so not only is her situation cramping her style but she still hasn’t learned all of the truth the price of her virginity was a just that but somehow, turned into something so much more (a bit much more). She finds out the truth about the man who has opened her world to so much he had something to do with the death which put a ripple in their relationship but when an attempt on his life happens he knows he has to reveal all of who he is in hopes to protect her but when she tries to run will he keep her safe, will she realize there are worser men out there than the devil she knows, will she understand they have to work together to stay a step ahead of those out to kill him, will he show how much she owns his heart just as he owns her heart, and will they get their very own HEA or is there more?.

Following the suprising ending of book 1, this book is actually Tamer than book 1, i'll say.
İts time for secrets to unravel.
İts time for both of them to except their feelings toward each other.
İts honeymoon time of their relationship.
Smegsi times are super hot.
I got bit conflictwd feelings when Esteban have to kneel in front of his enemy for Aurora. One side of me falls for how can my man defeated, another side bloom for love for how thls strong man give up something important for his woman.

At the end, clever move from Aurora. Sweet and steamy ending that got me all wet😘💃.

Se no primeiro livro me apaixonei pelo Esteban nesse segundo ele roubou todo o meu coração. Eu quis colocar ele no potinho enquanto via o que a tra!ção da Aurora fez com ela. Em relação ela não senti empatia nenhuma, teve momentos que cheguei a querer que aparecesse outra melhor pra ele.
Não gostei daa partes do Santos por que sou do time Esteban. Bem, bom que todos tiveram final felizes na medida do possível.

Aurora and Estabans concluding part, with secrets, twists and more, the betrayle may cut deep but their craving for one another is still as hot! Well written the story captivates you from the start, must be read after book 1.

I didn't know how those two lovers would find their way back together after that cliffhanger at the end of book 1 and I certainly didn't see that twist coming! I'm not going to spoil what happens but it was a riveting read. Super well done.

Such a good Book!

This to it was absolutely incredible! I was able to listen to it in a day. I can’t wait to read more by this author and to see what else she can do. I absolutely loved Aurora and Estevan! The banter, the laughter, the tears, all of it was worth it to see them in the end! Bravo!

[Charlene Gaskins · Rating 4 out of 5]

A great final book to Estevan and Aurora's story. This author does a great job of unveiling layer after layer of a story and then inserts something that completely flips the storyline with secrets and truths that finally come to the surface and were not predictable. I love a story with layers and I love a story that I can't foresee how it is going to end. The character's attraction for one another was very well written and swoon worthy for the criminal underground genre.

The only negative aspect about this duet was the character's lack of communication at times throughout both books. I would categorize this duet as slow moving in the "communication department". I don't mind some OTT drama to a book series, but too much can have me skimming. I didn't skim in either of these books because the rest of the series was powerful enough to overlook the character's lack of communication at times. By books' end the characters come full circle setting the stage for what I hope is a spin off of this series. Time will tell.

Epic story!

An awesome conclusion to Esteban and Aurora’s story. The chemistry between the two jumps out at you from the page. The character development and plot line are beautifully developed. And Aidèe leaves us with a taste of more to come! Can’t wait!!!

[Irene Marshall · Rating 4 out of 5]

Intriguing

A good finale to this duet although I believe it could have all been done in one book and it is just a way to force people to buy two books instead of one. The storyline is good the characters interesting and there are a few twists in the tale.

Short read but full of action and heart pounding moments!

[Brandy M · Rating 5 out of 5]

great story

A great end to a great story it is nice to see strong macho men brought down. Can’t wait to see what is next.

[Mawgan Dipple · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved book one of this duet and couldn't wait for this book to be released. Aurora found herself in a dilemma. Fight for the good of the man in her past or live for the devil in her bed. Estaban couldn't help but want her, enough though her betrayal was still fresh. Between the two they uncover the truth and deal with the threat to the falcon business empire. Cruz was an interesting character and I cant wait to read his book next.

[Happyscribe · Rating 5 out of 5]

There's something brilliant about a bad boy and a bad girl hooking up. And when you add in an age-gap and a dark-ass romantic triangle from the mafia, we're on a winner! Prepare for gut-wrenching passion and torment of the best kind!
