What an ending to this Duet!! We got everything from Darius and Toni. There was so much going on and I loved it! 

Toni finally shows us what she is capable of. What she remembers, her past and what she did. How she became who she was and is. I loved seeing her emerge as a BAD ASS Strong woman. Going after what she wants. 

“Don't be fucking nice to me. Do you think I’m going to willingly give you any part of me? You're going to have to fucking take it if you want it.”

Darius the ever calm man unless it comes to Toni. He will burn the world down for her. Everything he endures and does is because of his undying devotion and his unhinged love for Toni. 

It’s brutal and oh so sexy. 

“Not exactly. More like I was on the path as you walked by, and when I held my hand out for you, you chose to take it.”

The twists, turns, and WTF moments were so shocking and unhinged. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. This is the type of book that when you get spicy moments it’s an added bonus. The plot, characters, and writing are all so good.  

Can’t wait for Tony’s story! 

“We're gonna go over there, and we're gonna fuck around and find out.”

I did read this as an ARC for my honest review.
