Happily ever after doesn’t come easy. But for love, it’s always worth the fight.

Olivia finds bliss unlike any she’s ever known in Cash’s arms. He sets her skin on fire and melts her heart right inside her chest. Unfortunately, their happily ever after is short-lived when a shadow from Cash’s past threatens to turn their world upside down.

Dangerous people from his father’s world have discovered that Cash holds information that could put them away for a very long time. And they’re willing to do anything—and hurt anybody—to get it back. Giving it up means Cash must choose between the life of his father and the life of Olivia.

Having nearly overcome her wariness of bad boys, Olivia’s trust is shaken when this new threat arises. Now she finds that Cash is not only a danger to her heart, but his family has associations that are a danger to her life as well. She soon discovers that there are some situations in life where trust is a girl’s only option. And this is one of them. If she’s to live, she must trust Cash with her life. But to Olivia, that’s much, much easier than letting go and trusting him with her heart.

 

 

I admit I didn't love this as much as the first one but it was still brilliant.

Cash is seriously one of my most favourite characters ever. He's a true alpha male, and you know how much I love those! He's just one sexy beast. (Lol. I can't believe I just typed that.) And Olivia..hmm.. She's an alright character, I guess. She did kinda annoy me with some of her decisions, but overall, she's a pretty strong heroine who can stand up on her own. I like that.

Nash really annoyed me in this. I know he's got his reasons and everything, but he's a bit of an asshole. And I think the next book will be about him so I'm hoping that I'll end up liking and falling for him too.
 

The steamy scenes were quite frankly..steamy. But they were all done exceptionally and well written. But oh boy were they HOT. This is definitely an adult book. Not that did stop me.

The action parts of this book were the ones that I unforetunately didn't enjoy. I don't know if it was because of the writing or whatever but I found myself bored reading all the action scenes and ended up scanning over them. I know that's bad, but still.

Cash and Olivia's story was wrapped up pretty nicely and I can't wait for the third book, which is about Nash to come out!
