Vincent: Forgetting about Eve was the plan. Finding her at a party on my college campus was the last thing I expected.

But letting her go again isn’t an option—not this time. Juggling the life I want with the one I was born into may be near impossible, but for her, it's a risk I'm willing to take.

My world has turned into a house of cards, where one wrong move can send it all crashing down…and us with it.

Eve: Finally at a prestigious university—and on the path to living my dreams—I’ve left the darkness of the Blue Houses behind. Still, a whole new host of problems await me.

Vincent is here.

He's king of the school, complete with a society princess by his side. I thought I wanted to know what he was hiding, but unlocking his biggest secret leads me into entirely new territory laced with danger
and lust...one I’m not sure I’ll survive.

My Review: 

I just finished this book and I don’t even know how to process what I just read! I enjoyed the first book but this book blew me away! There is so much chemistry, tension and angst between Vincent and Eve and I wasn’t sure how much my heart could take at times! It still blows my mind that this is Jessica Ruben’s second book!

This book picks up right where we left off and things are so tense and confusing! I felt deeply for both characters and I felt their emotions while reading and honestly I was torn. I understand Vincent’s issue but Eve was stuck in an hard place as well. I have to say I loved how Eve evolved throughout this story. It was nice seeing her becoming more confident and standing her ground even when she was scared.

What can I say about Vincent? I loved him and he was such a dominant, possessive and protective man. He has the weight of the world of his shoulders over the life that was chosen for him and the life that he wants to live. What is a man to do in his position?    

I can’t stress how much I loved this book!! The writing, the story telling,  was OFF THE CHARTS!!!! The pacing was perfect and the last few chapters had me glued to my kindle and left me filled with question as my heart was being ripped apart. I honestly don’t like to read trilogies  because the future books in my opinion lack depth but this is NOT the case in this trilogy. I can’t wait to read “Redemption” and see how Vincent and Eve conclude! Well done, Jessica Ruben!!
