Unfortunately, that was not the case for me.

But while some gaps in the storyline could be justified in the first part, implying bigger and better things would be on their way and leaving the reader only hungry for more, those gaps needed to be filled and built on in the second installment for it to give us a complete and satisfying story. The very format of this two-part serial allowed it to be told at a particular pace, for the overall story to peak twice in order to accommodate both installments. I have been waiting with bated breath for the conclusion of Jax and Gia’s passionate story ever since we first met them and fell in love with them in Afterburn, their intoxicating romance taking us on a whirlwind ride from the very first scene, and that is why my expectations of this second book were mammoth.

It was entirely my pleasure to show him that I'd already dived in. He didn't think I could swim with the sharks. Jax loved me enough that giving up was the only end he'd consider. I wasn't going to let him get away at all.I loved Jax enough that it was impossible to give up. I wasn't going to let Jax get away with it. What he didn't know was that when I didn't like the rules, I threw them out and made my own. He pulled strings behind the closed doors of D.C.'s most powerful political players, and somehow still found time to nearly sideline my career. When it came to playing games, my lover Jax was a master strategist. Bad enough that I didn't mind how much it was going to cost me. In that moment I understood how badly I wanted to unravel the mystery of Jax.

He was a hard and jaded man, cut from a ruthless cloth. Had I really thought they were soft and warm? There was nothing soft about Jackson Rutledge. Thickly lashed, they were relentless in their intensity. His eyes were a brown so dark they were nearly black. Walking into a deal I'd worked hard to close. He'd only been part of my life for five short weeks two years ago. The realization that Jax still affected me so strongly was a jagged pill to swallow. #1 New York Times bestselling author Sylvia Day, America's premier author of provocative fiction, delivers two novels from Cosmo Red-Hot Reads from Mills & Boon.
