My summary: After marrying Jericho Forge in a whirlwind and the subsequent release of her sister from unknown kidnappers, India now faces her own abduction from Forge’s private island at the hands of Bastian DeVere. Bastian and Forge have had a long time feud and India is unsure of who to believe. After returning to Forge, despite all of her doubts about her new husband, the one thing India knows for certain is that she’s not giving up her poker, whether or not her marriage to Forge lasts. And Forge has decided that he’s not letting her go.
My thoughts: The continuation of the Forge trilogy picks up right where the first book left off. It is overall fine. It’s a bit hard to keep some of the side characters straight, and the reason for the involvement of some of them in the plot is murky at best. I’m still not enjoying the female narrator much, she has an odd inflection at the end of sentences that just isn’t jiving with me very well. This book ends on a cliffhanger, just like most of Meghan March’s trilogies, so I’ll be diving right into the third one next.
