“Oh Pretty Girl… I’ll be whatever you want me to be.” 

He’s undercover.  She’s the unknown target.  They are both twisted and broken.  Can these unlikely duo heal and mend each others wounds and find love?  Can they forgive lie after lie?  

I really enjoyed this installment from the Never After Series.  This book was probably a little more on the darker romance side as far as the triggers for the spicy scenes but I was here fore it.  I also appreciated the twist at the end.  I was not expecting that one at all.  I was so caught up in trying to figure out how Evaline was going to forgive Nick that I missed the red flags for the twist.  

The only thing I didn’t really like was in the first half of the book how it was hard to believe that Nick would keep making the same mistake.  Especially with his history.  He seemed to cave in way too easily.  

I think this has been the best book so far of the series, but again, check your trigger warnings.  I would recommend this book to anyone who liked Haunting Adeline for the spicy scenes and the other Never After Series.  I do wish there would have been just one more spice scene but I’m overall very pleased with the story and ending.
