Pepper Winters did it again! With this conclusion, she took the duet and made it even better than it was with the first book. And that first book was pretty darn good!! 
 I absolutely love Penn, he may have made things really confusing and hard on himself, but he truly does have a heart of gold. Not to mention being sexy as all get out! And Elle made a pretty good girlfriend too! Usually with these books, the heroine turns out to be weak or stupid or something, but Elle was a strong, classy, loyal gal. 
 This book had everything! Love, lust, suspense, family, a little kidnapping, because what book is complete without that? The secondary characters in the book were really lovable too. I know this was a duet, but darn it, I'd really like to see more of them! Maybe we could get a book with Gio?? This is a book that will go on my list of books to reread, it was that good! 
 I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
