The de Vincent brothers are back—and so is the intrigue that surrounds them—in New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout’s sizzling new novel...
Nicolette Bresson never thought she’d return to the de Vincents’ bayou compound. It’s where her parents work, where Nikki grew up... and where she got her heart broken by Gabriel de Vincent himself. Yet here she is, filling in for her sick mother. Avoiding Gabe should be easy, especially when so much of Nikki’s time is spent trying not to be stabbed in the back by the malicious hangers-on who frequent the mansion. But escaping memories of Gabe, much less his smoking-hot presence, is harder than expected—especially since he seems determined to be in Nikki’s space as much as possible.
Gabriel spent years beating himself up over his last encounter with Nikki. He’d wanted her then, but for reasons that were bad for both of them. Things have now changed. Gabe sees more than a girl he’s known forever; he sees a smart, talented, and heartbreakingly beautiful woman... one who’s being stalked from the shadows. Now, Gabe will do anything to keep Nikki safe—and to stop the de Vincent curse from striking again.
My Review 4 STARS
This book was marginally better than the previous book, however it certainly cannot be read as a stand alone. The underlying plot carries on from book one where more secrets around the De Vincents are revealed and we also get more questions. This leads me to REALLY want to read Devlin's book!
Gabe and Nikki were friendly when they were younger. Nikki is the daughter of Livi and Richard and had a massive crush on Gabe that was noticed by everyone. No back to help out the De Vincents while her mother is ill, Gabe takes much more notice of the woman that she has become.
Gave does act a bit entitled in this book, but all the De Vincents do, however he does genuinely seem to have a soft spot for Nikki and has to apologise for his behaviour, Nikki falls back into old habits, but does seem to have the more adult thinking at times.
Glad that Gabe managed to step up to the mark and that she has such a good friend in Rosie.
