RThis is the second book by Virna DePaul that I have read and yet again I am not disappointed. I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review. This newest installment in the Belladonna Agency series focuses on Barrett an ex-soldier and former lover of partner in arms Nick. Barrett and Nick once upon a time had a very passionate love affair. However, it cooled when Barrett walked away in order to save herself from potential heartbreak. Now Barrett is force to seek Nick's help when her best friend's daughter is kidnapped and taken into a sex ring. I liked the aspect of the kidnapped girls forced into a sex ring. It allowed each of the characters to get past their own bullshit and work toward achieving a common goal.
I found myself enjoying this second installment much more than the first book. The foundation and vampire lore had already been established and DePaul doesn't spend much time rehashing that. Which I loved!!! DePaul trusted that her readers had a smidgen of intelligence and could either re-read the previous book or um use Goodreads..HELLO! So the story isn't bogged down in an effort to remind readers what they should already know. That being said, you really need to read the first book before attempting this one. It will not make as much sense to you and you will have wasted your time and money attempting to read it.
I recommend this book to anyone that enjoys paranormal romance and I cannot wait until the next installment! Happy reading!!
