Interesting...
Reminds me of Jessica Hawkins' White Monarch series: Forced marriage. Mafiosos. Enemies to lovers. Betrayals. Human trafficking.
All in all, it was an entertaining read. I do recommend it, but Book 1 in this duology is a must-read before this one.

This book had quite a lot of potential but the female main character kept getting hurt. In the end it was most definitely Stockholm Syndrom and not a great book.

I could not wait to listen to this. After Collateral, I was ready to see what was going to happen to Gabriella and Stefan, and Natasha Knight does not disappoint. She takes that slow burn first book into an fans the flames into an inferno! But as Gabby finds out, no one can be trusted and despite her craving Stefan, she needs to protect herself and her brother. Has she put her faith in the wrong man? Can any be trusted? This conclusion of the Collateral Damage Duet does not only give us a yearning for a happy ending, but the suspense, and the characters surrounding the mafia are intense and incredibly captivating. Gabby's father, Rafa, and others that gather create that feeling of power and dread. Add in Gabe, who every time a scene with him is read, a smile is on your face, you will find this book gathers all the emotions and leaves you completely satisfied.
Wen Ross and Mackenzie Cartwright continue their narration, bringing this story to life. It has highs and lows, lots of emotional push and pull along with steamy passion and even some sad scenes. This duo has it all. I loved Wen, his voices for the most part were full of alpha male, and then would bring out Gabe in a child like fashion. Mackenzie adds to the story with her afraid yet strong portrayal of Gabby, and together gave us an incredible listen.

Ahhh!! Yes! Damage was perfectly delivered! It starts us off right in the cold water where collateral left us! This book was full of action, desire and secrets! Gah! I wanted to shake these characters! One minute I was internally screaming at them and the next I was biting my lip! The desire and attraction between these two is so intense! There is no denying or escaping what they have. Gabi doesn’t know how precious she is and Stef doesn’t realize the full extent his enemies will go. Knight has once again written and exciting and heart pounding read! The queen of mafia has given us two characters you will become obsessed over! I devoured damage in a few hours! I was shocked by events and my heart hurt for everything Gabi has been through. Definitely a Must Read duet! I can’t wait to see what Knight has in store for us next. I received an arc in exchange for an honest review.

crying and cousin fcking does not make for a good book
This duet had SO much potential, but ultimately fell flat.
1) I'm just gonna start off with the cousin fucking. I meannnnnnn they literally talk about being blood cousins, and they have sex. I'm all for taboo, but idk it definitely rubbed me the wrong way and it wasn't even discussed like anything was wrong with that scenario
2) why weren't we told what gabis dad said to her as he died?
3) I have no idea how gabi and Stefan fell in love. There was no deep convos, nothing really to actually see them getting closer. It was all lust.
4) still a little confused on which one ultimately killed Alex and which one poisoned the birds
5) gabi cries in almost every single scene. I mean I knows she's only 18 but for fucks sake SUCK IT UP girl
Idk. Like I said, it had a lot of potential but the execution wasn't great.

After that epic cliffhanger ending of book one, let's just say,I was dying to get my hands on this book. I wasn't disappointed. It was everything I wanted and more.
The story continued where it left off, and emotions are running pretty high. I felt the slow burn of their romance and yes, I was pretty much dying for it to happen. Along with this, the story is wrought with intense, nail biting, edge-of-your-seat, suspense as they differentiate friends from foes.
Absolutely loved the hell out of this and I cannot wait for more of this author's work!

I loved this one! I was a little disappointed by the first and had low-ish expectations for this one. Turns out, this one focused more on the relationship between Stefan&Gabriela (which I found a little lacking before) and made me like them together a lot more. Even if they’re more explosive here, I think it suited what each situation called for instead of casually throwing around cheesy retorts to cause conflict. There was tangible tension and you could feel the push and pull between the two. Stefan’s character improved a lot as well. I know I like assholes, as long as they have a softer side. At first, I thought Stefan was just a jerk This book peeled back some layers on his character so overall I’m really satisfied with the conclusion!
