Blurb:

I wanted this woman, and I was a man who always got what he wanted.

Nico 'Junior' Trocci knows Lauren Marchetti is off limits. She is sweetness and laughter, whereas Junior exists in a world of violence and depravity. Men like him don't get to have women like her. It's why he pushed her away back in high school and has kept his distance ever since.

But when Junior looks Lauren up online, he discovers the shy, bookish girl he remembers is gone. In her place is a strikingly beautiful woman whose social media is filled with scantily clad pictures of herself and a connection to a nearby play club. Junior's innocent curiosity quickly turns into a dark obsession. But watching Lauren from a distance isn't enough; he needs to make her his.

He's ruthless; a walking red flag. Good thing red is my favorite color.

Lauren is intrigued by the mystery man who keeps showing up at her club, who tempts her white-hot desires. But as their flirty online messages stir up a deeper form of connection, Lauren worries she's developing real feelings for this brooding stranger. As their combined desire ratchets up to a breaking point, who will seduce who? And will they survive the fall?

Explanation:

I was absolutely obsessed with the audio for the first book in this series. It was so funny despite being a dark romance, so when I discovered a second one is coming out soon, you just know I have to pick it up! 

I hope that the audio for this one lives up to the wonderful and funny vibes of the first. I've totally been in the mood for Allen's type of humor lately, so this book can't come out soon enough! Based on what she has revealed about it on socials, it should be a wonderful time just like Lights Out.

See you next week for another exciting upcoming release!
