This one just took me forever to read. I'm unsure if it was where I was getting ready to go on vacation, struggled to get interested in the first book of the duology, or just this book in general. Still, it just took me forever to read it. I really wanted more from the story, especially after the build-up that the first book started. But I think it just fell flat for me. It was really steamy, and I believe the steam took over the book to the point where the ending revealed and wrapped up everything too fast. I wish we had focused more on what was happening than Aurora and Jonathon. Plus, this one also fell into the miscommunication trope, and that's just one that tends to drive me bananas rather than actually work for me lately.

Second half of Jonathan king and Aurora Harper’s story. 

Aurora’s father, the notorious serial killer Maxim Griffin, is now accusing her of being an accomplice while he’s trying to get parole. Once her new identity is released then she’s thrust back into the public’s eye and a target of the victim’s families. Thankfully she has Jonathan on her side, but she has to figure out if he’s trustworthy before she can fully accept his help and devotion. On top of all of that, Aurora begins to question her sanity. Is she becoming like Alicia, Jonathan’s late wife? Is mental instability a genetic condition passed through their mothers line? Things just aren’t adding up. Her job is to put all these puzzle pieces together before she becomes another victim. 

I couldn’t put this book down. It’s so interesting finally getting the full story of Alicia, her background/death/mental struggles, and Jonathan and Ethan’s history.
