It cannot be read as a standalone and contains spoilers for <i>Poison Kisses: Part One<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p><i>Part Two<\/i> picks up immediately after <i>Part One<\/i> ends.\u00a0We now know and understand why Amanda disappeared and are left with several questions. Even though Seth and Amanda still feel the betrayal from before, the lust and love that is still between them is heating up. But before they can deal with their past, they need to figure out how to focus on taking down Dr. Franklin Ross.<\/p>\n<p>When the book begins, the anger and hurt between Seth and Amanda is still very much alive and gaining each other\u2019s trust seems like an impossible feat.\u00a0However, as they open up to each other two different sides unfold and we slowly see the pieces of the past come together. The mystery and suspense is captivating, and I wanted desperately to know why things happened the way they did, who Seth and Amanda can trust, and who lurks in the background as new players seem to enter the game.<\/p>\n<p>Trying to stop Dr. Ross puts Amanda and Seth together in intimate quarters and feelings from the past are front and center as they try to work through their complicated relationship. The sexual tension is palpable and there is no way they can deny the pull they\u2019ve felt from the moment they met. The spark that once exploded between them years ago is now just as intense, passionate, and present as ever.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>\u201cYes,\u201d she whispers and then we\u2019re kissing, crazy-hot kissing, drinking each other in, like we\u2019re never going to get a drink again. And maybe we won\u2019t. Maybe one of us will die before this night is over. But that\u2019s how we always fucked and loved. Like there would be no tomorrow.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I loved the way Seth and Amanda open up and the commitment to making their relationship work; however, just like in <i>Part One,<\/i> there is a major cliffhanger at the end that screws up everything. Up until this point we have seen Seth\u2019s side of the story first-hand from his point-of-view. After the jaw-dropping bomb that is delivered, we are left questioning everything and Amanda needs answers. Finally, we will get to see Amanda\u2019s point-of-view in the conclusion to the Poison Kisses trilogy. <i>Part Three<\/i> here I come!<\/p>\n<p>Just a little side note: I love the way Lisa Renee Jones does a recap of the series so far as more books are released. It refreshes your memory so you can dive into the next book without forgetting what happened before.<\/p>\n<p><i>*ARC\u00a0generously provided by the author via
