If you haven't read books one and two stop reading this review now and go get started.
At the end of book two I was in I need to know mode. One thing I knew for sure was that Nikki and Damien's love was solid and that was good because what was to come they would need that support system from each other. This story continues with Damien on trial in Germany and Nikki is right there by his side. I'm not going to lie by the end of book 2 I was so ready to find out everything that was causing me WTH moments. Like who was leaking info to the press and the real story behind the old tennis coach. Oh and let's not forget Nikki's stalker, who the heck is it? There is a lot going on In this series that kept me on a roller coaster ride all the way to the end. Let me just say to all of those wondering if the deep dark secrets of Damien's past are finally revealed and in the words my co resident Ashley "GURL" (in that deep southern drawl) get ready to be rocked to the core.
Mrs. Kenner did a good job on this series. After each book I was left with a need to know ASAP what the heck is really going on feeling. I loved Damien and Nikki's characters. Damien's character drove me crazy at times because he was a closed book. However when everything came to light...my goodness. Lets just say I was an emotional wreck at some points throughout this one.
Great job mrs Kenner on a good series. This has definitely made my what to read after fifty shades list.
Cheers,
Dr. Books
