| A de Vincent Novel Book 2 |
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: 5/5 Stars
Book 2 and it was crazy!! We return to he de Vincent home to read the story of Gabe and Nikki. Their romance began way earlier than expected but didn't turn out the way either wanted. Nikki grew up in the de Vincent home since her parents have worked for the family for a very long time. When she left for college, she left with her heart broken by the second eldest de Vincent Gabe. Now she returns home to help out her parents and she tries her best to avoid Gabe, but like all plans then never go according to plan. Gabe now sees that Nikki is grown up and not the teenager who left them. Their last encounter may have not been great and though they try to avoid one another, it becomes impossible for either one to truly stay away. While they try to navigate their feelings, trouble is following them. Could it be the ghosts that are supposed to haunt their home? Or is it something much worse?
The story between Gabe and Nikki was really great to read. It answers the questions of how two people could still find a way to one another despite their messy start and complicated history. And even if you let go of the past, the present and future still has its challenges. For Gabe, it's preparing to be the father to a son he never knew he had. And for Nikki, it's risking an already bleeding heart for someone who has the potential to destroy it for good.
Secrets revealed and some still remain, it's another fantastic thriller, mystery, romance, and paranormal from Armentrout. And I couldn't put the book down! And when all is said and done, I am more than ready to see what is in store for the last de Vincent brother. Lucian and Gabe found their happy ending, but what about Dev?
I received an ARC for an honest review.
