Cliffhangers. Oh, how I am torn between loving them and hating them when the break in between books is 2 years. With that being said, this book was worth the wait and did not disappoint. CD picked the story back up and we finally see what comes next in the Drazen Family. This book has so much packed into it and I was so excited to see the 2^nd part of the duet released as it’s been one of my reads I’ve been dying for ever since the final word in Secret Sins.

Through twists and turns, and a few upside-down loops, this book will pull you back into the Drazen world in such a way you will just long for more. It’s always fun going back to refresh on a book you haven’t read in a while. In doing so, I got to go back to a time 2 years ago when Secret Sins blew me away. Fast forward to the 2^nd half, and I was just in awe of what Christine was able to accomplish with this duet. Margie’s story is finally finished, and it ends in such a way I didn’t see coming, or expect, but absolutely fell in love with the way it all played out over 2 books. She’s just as strong and determined as ever and the pull between Indy and her was once again scalding hot. There is just something about a Drazen book that has a way of engulfing you into the world so thoroughly you end up with a hangover pulling away at the end.
I can’t wait to see what’s next for the Drazen family.

Excerpt:

“Drew?” I said into the darkness. “Indiana Andrew McCaffrey, stop fucking with me. I’m in no mood.”

My eyes adjusted. I stepped farther in, letting my hand drift over the counter edge. They’d changed it to cheap flipper granite. The cabinets were presswood veneer. But still, I touched them as if they were original Douglas fir and my name was Cin.

“Margaret.”

His voice didn’t surprise me. I didn’t jump ten feet or stiffen with shock when I saw his silhouette against the doorframe. Hearing him was a relief. The binds keeping my shit together weren’t unknotted completely, but they loosened. I hadn’t felt tense in a long time because I was so used to being in a state of taut readiness.

“Indy.”

His stage name came from my lips without a thought.

“I’m glad you came.”

Sixteen years, and he was glad I came. Fuck him.

About CD Reiss

CD Reiss is a New York Times bestseller. She still has to chop wood and carry water, which was buried in the fine print. Her lawyer is working it out with God but in the meantime, if you call and she doesn’t pick up she’s at the well hauling buckets.

Born in New York City, she moved to Hollywood, California to get her master’s degree in screenwriting from USC. In case you want to know, that went nowhere but it did give her a big enough ego to write novels.

She’s frequently referred to as the Shakespeare of Smut which is flattering but hasn’t ever gotten her out of chopping that cord of wood.

If you meet her in person, you should call her Christine.
