Sapphire make’s her return in book two but she is not alone. Who in book 2 will have to deal with the news that Sapphire has? Smoke is back and seeing his revenge with help from someone that also has it out for Z. Best friends, crooked cops, love, sex, betrayal is all found between the covers of this book. Get ready for the ride of a lifetime.

 

 

These two books right here!!! SMH!!! They are dozy to read. One minute I am pissed off. Next moment I am hot and bothered, ready to jump someone’s bones and with the very next breath I reach a jaw dropping moment.  It kept me at the edge of my seat. When you think about why this character is here or what is the purpose of this character, the next sentence or page answers that question. It's crazy how the characters are intertwined with each other and no one knows until you get to the end of the novel and things start to fall apart. The author leaves you with a cliffhanger that makes you go and read the second novel. This is the work of a skilled author.

Anika Conners is a woman born from hurt and pain. Her conception was that of rape from a whiteman in a small town in South Carolina where racism still looms. She is determined to get even with the man that took her mother’s life, but the question is will she get back at the right man. Along this journey of her revenge, she also plans on making a pit stop to get back at her half sister; Lisa. She is doing this to her sister to make sure that she does not receive her part of the inheritance left by their father. So Anika makes it a point to let everyone know her sister’s true secret.


Akina also has a strong sexual craving. While falling in love with Tatyana Simmons she was unknowingly sleeping with Tatyana’s husband, David Walters who is in in love with her. But she wants none of them after a chance meeting with an old friend from high school, Eric. The passion between Eric and Anika starts off as just that passion but the passion is turning into love. But Anika is not ready for true love or is she?


So many sub stories that are linked to one story is what I can sum up the concept of this book to be and Dawn Jasper could have not done this better. There was at no point where I was confused about any of the plot lines. The Author gave this character the hurt and pain that any person in this situation would feel. The book has such a smooth flow that it was finished in one day. I cannot wait until the sequel comes out.
