I definitely enjoyed this one much more than the first one for sure!

I loved the forbidden aspect and I was definitely shipping these two characters.

Ich habe nach Band 1 viel von diesem Buch erwartet und nicht wenig bekommen! Diese Reihe entwickelt sich zu einer wunderbaren Geschichte um eine Familie und ihre Intrigen, die mich sehr gut unterhalten kann. Intrigen, Familiendrama, Royal-Lovestory. Eine Mischung, von der ich vorher nicht wusste, wie gerne ich sie lesen würde! War für mich zwar etwas schwächer als der erste band, ändert aber nichts daran, dass mir auch diese Geschichte sehr gut gefallen hat. Es gab ein paar mehr Längen, aber nichts hochtrabendes. Der Schreibstil war wieder sehr angenehm zu lesen, super locker und leicht. Seraphine‘s und Blaise‘s Geschichte hat mich sehr mitgerissen und auch berührt. Besonders Seraphine als Charakter hat mir unglaublich gut gefallen. Die Reihe ist und bleibt eine große Empfehlung von mir (z.B. auch wenn ihr Bücher wie die Paper-Reihe mochtet!) Erwartet nichts unfassbar tiefgründiges/ weltbewegendes, eher gute Unterhaltung (teilweise fragwürdige moralische Entscheidungen, aber wenn man davon absieht, und sich vieles nicht abschaut (:D) hat es echt gut unterhalten!)

The audio is even better!

Disarm is my favorite of the series so far. I'm not sure if it's the taboo aspect, the enemies to lovers, or all of the above. Just know that where the Dumonts are trouble isn't far behind.

Seraphine and Blaise are two Dumonts who feel the name is just a title. Neither has ever really felt like a Dumont. Both struggle with their perceived, whether real or not, alienation.

All it takes to bring them together...is a little murder. Sometimes a little good can come from a terrible thing.

I can't wait for the truth to come out!

Disarm is the second book in this interconnected series and what a suspenseful ride it was!

The story started with a bit of a background of Seraphine, when she was adopted to the Dumont family. It touched my heart how at a young age her need to belong in a family was finally answered. It makes me think that no wonder she is very loyal to her adopted family, they have never treated her badly and made her welcome. This loyalty extended until to the present time. She is now alone in a company that was founded by her father, now run by her villainous uncle and his sons, and it is up to her to fight to maintain the family’s legacy. Her two brothers were practically run out of the country by their uncle. She must keep her wits about her, as she suspects that her uncle had a hand on the demise of her father. Blaise, her cousin divulged his hatred for his father but can she trust him? Where does his loyalty lie?

OMG! What a ride! It was packed with more suspense as we get more embroiled with the Dumont family’s secrets, lies and betrayals. I loved the chemistry between Seraphine and Blaise. I was rooting for them so hard to finally be together! I didn’t think I’ll like Pascal, but I must be screwed in the head because I’m intrigued by him. Can’t wait for his book! Highly recommend this!

I really loved this one. Seraphine and Blaise are definitely my favorites so far although the open ended question of Pascal is making me clap my hands like a little kid! This book was intense, and in the best way! I love a good romantic thriller and this felt like that to me. Seraphine and Blaise were so well written, and I loved their backstory. It was so sweet, and awkward just like both of them. 5 out of 5 stars!

Seraphine and Blaise took my breathe away! The chemistry! Wow! I loved every minute of their actions pact, thrilling story and you could cut the tension between them with a knife! For two people that come from such different backgrounds, they have so much in common. It's not wonder there has always been something drawing them together! Seraphine, the orphan Indian girl who was adopted by two loving parents, rich, with two older sons to call brothers. Blaise, the youngest son of another wealthy couple, unloved and punished at every turn. Two brothers at odds. One kind and loving, adored by the world, successful in business and in life. The other jealous, coveting all the other has, who will seemingly stop at nothing to have it. Which is exactly what Seraphine suspects. Her father was murdered by her Uncle. But where will her quest for answers and justice lead her? Will she be next? Who can she trust when she has no one left? Blaise has always wanted his adopted cousin, but circumstances have always had him choosing to protect her by pushing her away. Now her life hangs in the balance and he wants nothing more than to prove to her that she can trust him, despite everything. Will they get their happily ever after? Or will the rot that is the Dumont family destroy them too?

Disarm is the second book in the Dumonts series. While this story focuses on two different characters from the first novel, it also picks up where the first novel left off. This is a series that definitely needs to be read in order.

I liked disarm and the look into the past of the Dumonts, however I wish I had enjoyed it as much as the first one and that's made it harder for me to write a review. I enjoy the authors writing and the story in disarm but i just found (insert) more intense and full of mystery. Disarm feels more like a sequel that's used to build to something more so I'm excited to see how the third book in the series follows. I feel like it will pull everything together and I will appreciate this story more.

I received an advanced copy through netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

So glad that this book was about Seraphine and Blaise. I'm always here for a forbidden romance and I wasn't disappointed. But do have to say most of the plot lackluster and predicable.
