This book was an exhilarating experience, filled with twists and turns that kept me captivated. The plot is brilliant—one of my favorites in a long time. The chemistry and tension and the way Hailey carried herself to get Carter to give in was delicious. But I appreciated how patient and caring Carter was in this second book. 

I anticipated some retaliation from Blaze after the rescue, but that storyline concluded quite quickly. I have the next book in the series ready to go. It appears the first two books form a duet, with the following books focusing on other characters. I’m excited to read more from I.A. Dice, who has crafted engaging characters, a compelling plot, and enjoyable spice this far.

A special mention to the narrators, particularly Shiloh James, who voices the female main character, Hailey. Her performance was outstanding, perfectly embodying the character. I highly recommend this series but advise readers to be mindful of the content and themes, as some scenes can be graphic.
