Repetitive.
Super Slow Pace.
Think of a snail running.
Yep. That Slow.

The sex scenes were awesome. Super steamy. Best part of the whole thing.

This book picked up right where the last one ended. I am glad the wait wasn't long between the first book and the second book because it was definitely a pivotal moment. The suspense and mystery kept on going through the story.

I enjoyed getting to know Damian and Cristina more in this one. There were many facets to Damian and as this story unfolded I got to understand him much more. I felt bad for Cristina since she honestly had no idea who to trust in this den of vipers.

That being said, I wished for more of the story to be fleshed out. It felt almost anticlimactic until the final pivotal scene. I wanted to know more about what the plan was and more about the family rules. The father was a vile wretched man and I wanted to understand what was so magic about the 1-year mark. I wanted to understand the motivations behind the siblings. Even though the author gave one hell of a story, it still felt like something was missing for me.

That being said, I am still recommending this duet because it was filled with the suspense, chemistry, and characters that I have come to expect in regard to romantic suspense. There is a reason that I gravitate toward the anti-hero and the author gave me a great one in this story. ( )

I just couldn't connect with this.
