The stunning conclusion to the All In Duet…
In Vegas, there was one man who was off limits. One man… and I fell for him.
I knew there were risks. Still, I played the game. When Dario Capece called, I answered. When he beckoned, I came. When he broke all my rules, I looked the other way.
I knew there were risks. I just never realized they included death.
Note: This book should be read after Even Money (available now).

After the hair-raising cliffhanger in Even Money waiting for Double Down filled me with delicious anticipation. Yeah, I know I’m not the only armchair detective who enjoys working things out, even if I’m wrong. It’s the process that’s so fun, right? The author did an excellent job of building the excitement and suspense. She teased me with their intense and forbidden chemistry. Pulling me into their passionate encounters and keeping me on edge as I worried about the consequences. But that didn’t stop me from mentally encouraging them to go All In. Actually, they went even a step further, “Double down was a blackjack term. It’s when you had a risky hand that had the potential to be strong, or the potential to be disastrous. Instead of riding the hand out, you double your bet.” I did bet on them, but I confess there were times I wanted to cover my eyes, afraid to look at the cards…
Being the tale of suspense that it is, there’s no way I can give you any details without ruining it for you. So, all I can do is tell you that it’s told in multiple POV. The author puts you inside the heads of not only the H/h, but other characters as well. What a mindfuck it is to know the diabolical plotting going on and be unable to warn the victims. I wanted to sign up to be on their security detail so I could get one of those neat little ear pieces and listen to all the details going on behind the scenes. Also, I was a nervous wreck as I waited for shit to hit the fan and I wanted to be able to yell a warning when it did.
I really enjoyed the grand finale to this steamy and suspenseful duet. It kept my heart and my brain busy as I melted one minute and cringed the next. I kept turning those pages, anxious to know but afraid to find out. Well done.
There are some amazing support characters in this story as well, and I met a few more in this second book. I was highly entertained by their amusing banter and would love to see a few of them again in another book. I’ve even done a little mental matchmaking between my favorite two that haven’t even met each other, but they would make a great couple. Have you considered this Alessandra Torre? Think about it, I know you know who I’m talkin’ bout, cuz you’re not cooyon. The line forms here…
