After reading the first book in this series the urge to rush out and get the second was undeniable, and after devouring it in a day I am impatiently waiting for the third to arrive…quite simply this series rocks!

The wit and action I loved so much in the first installment of this series returns with perfect balance in this installment. Wicked humor, steamy sensuality and a fast paced plot blend perfectly together amazing leaving just enough room to expand the world and get a better look at some character’s pasts and history. My only complaint about this installment it the ending; I don’t particularly like cliffhanger endings, of which this was not. This was more of a drive off the cliff entirely, have the moment of oops and then ending. To say it left me both eager to read the next book and frustrated that I couldn’t have it in my hot little hands NOW would be an understatement.

I give this book four happy stars ★★★★

I liked 2nd book better than the first one. Charley got some backbone and her panties actually stayed on and she said No to Reyes for once... 😅 She was a lot more focused on her actual job as a PI - finding missing people and solving murders and getting her ass kicked a lot! 😂
The book was funny, Charley is otherwise one witty woman, except her obsession with Reyes. And I just adore the snarky bumper sticker and t-shirt slogans at thr beginning of each chapter! 😆

Yep, just going to keep ripping through these. They're fun, and there are fewer repetitions of "sensual" in this sequel. Thank goodness.

I absolutely love this series. Charlie is very reckless though and a trouble magnet. It was cool seeing her evolve more into who she is.
