I wanna start this review off with this book should come with trigger warnings as it deals with SA, assault, and mentions of suicide.

I loved this book and really resonated with the FMC Jill. The way the author was able to talk about how Jill dealt with the after math of the assault not just right after but even years later was what I loved the most. Jill spiraling and then need absolute control in her life is relatable and true, when your choices are taken from you in the worst way possible you crave the control. The author did a phenomenal job of portraying different forms of anxiety from Jill’s over active mind to the impending dread feeling like the weight of world is sitting in your chest and then to what most people think of when they think of anxiety attacks. It was a great representation of how anxiety and panic attacks come in all different forms.

Now about Damon! I loved him he is the ideal book boyfriend! He is caring, kind, and let’s not forget drop dead gorgeous but he has that bad boy side that lets be honest a little part of all us women crave. The way Damon saw past all Jills walls she tried to hide behind and he just knocked them down. Watching Jill start to heal was amazing I think Damon played a big part but I think it’s only because he was able to finally get her to see that she was worthy, that what happened to her was not her fault and did not taint her.

As someone who has been in Jill’s shoes before the author gives the reminder that your past doesn’t have to define you and that you are still worthy enough to find love.

This is a Super Steamy Romantic Mystery/Suspense, and this is the second book in the Wickedly series. I am going to start off by saying please check the triggers in this book if you get triggered by books because there are several things that could trigger you in this book. I will say I reread this book after reading the first book, and I think I loved this book more after I read the first book. I love the connection between the two main characters, and I think the connection between the two main characters is better understood after reading the first book in this series. I also really loved getting to hear from some of the characters in the first book in this book. The romance in this book is super fast moving, and the romance is mostly just one big steamy time. I do feel that the super steamy times were really well done in this book. The mystery in this book is what I really loved about this book, and I love the characters in it. The ending was just so great. I cannot wait to read the third book in this series. I think Emily may be my favorite character from this series because her character has slowly grown on me. I also cannot wait to see her romance unfold. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.

One night sixteen years ago deeply troubled Jill. Now, she must find a way to move beyond not only her past, but new trauma as well. This book was a quick, spicy read. The plot is easy to follow and the characters are relatable. However, the character development took a bit of a backseat, but not to the point to where the story isn't enjoyable. **Trigger Warning: SA

I loved this book! It was super easy to read and full of action! It had many twists and turns and some very unexpected twists! Absolutely worth reading!
