This is the continuation of Nic and Celia’s story and it’s filled with Nics still strong obsession and love of Celia along with massive twists and turns that kept me intrigued。 Celia learned a lot of things she never realized and it shed a lot of light on her and Nic

Nic in Book 1 was bordering on completely unlikeable。 He was an absolute AHOLE; aggressive, cruel, sadistic, and utterly unforgiving。 While in this book he is still an anger filled and arrogant AHOLE, he and his treatment of Celia was softer and likeable, I wished we had maybe seen a slower transformation in his character。 While a little Yin and Yang I don't feel it really detracted from the story。 The connection between these two started a little dark and twisted, but damn the chemistry between them is Kindle melting hot and the HEA they finally got was typically them and heartwarming。 A dark romance duet I would highly recommend。(Possible Triggers) 。。。more

Nic fears Celia will hate him, but when she runs to his arms, he finally sees that this woman is his forever。 After all of the death and destruction is over, Nic will finally take his place in the hierarchy within the five families, with his Queen by his side as they both will finally achieve what was denied them, love and family! With all of the darkness, violence and passion that surrounded this truly matched couple, it was sad to see their journey come to an end or is it? J。L。 Beck/C。 Hallman has done an outstanding job weaving this story about the Diavolo Crime Family as we become fully engaged into this dark sensual romance story。 I highly recommend you read book 1 to get a better understanding about the dark violent world of this crime family and the roles this dynamic couple plays in their quest towards an undying love! 。。。more
