My Book Review:

Book 2 in this series which picks up straight after Raiden, make sure you have read this one first!

We know Vivi had a traumatic past, we also know that she wants Trace, but he did everything he could to put her off in the first book. In this one we eventually see them get together as a couple. Trace and his attitude towards Vivi and having a relationship with her changes and he becomes an adoring and protective mate, even going so far as trying to claim her, but this goes wrong, twice!

Their journey is not easy, especially as Levi has been involved with Vivi whilst Trace was keeping his distance, but Levi is also her bodyguard and cares deeply for her. He has always been there to pick up the pieces when Trace went off with someone else. But as soon as the claiming takes place Levi has to take a step back.

Vivi also starts receiving threatening texts and emails referring back to her traumatic past, putting her and the whole crew in danger. Not an easy read at times, take note of the trigger warning.
