Lose yourself to the dark and glamorous underbelly of the Upper East Side in the second book in\u00a0<\/b>USA Today<\/i><\/b>\u00a0bestselling author K.A. Linde’s new billionaire romance Cruel Trilogy.<\/b> Find\u00a0Cruel Fortune<\/em> on\u00a0GOODREADS<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4 stars!<\/strong><\/p>\n Cruel Fortune<\/i> brings us back to the cruel world that broke Natalie, only she’s not as broken as when she left it a year earlier. Natalie\u2019s dream is finally in her grasp as her newly published debut book hits the best seller lists. She has no desire to go back to NYC where her heart was broken but that\u2019s exactly where she is sent to promote her book. Her plan is to pop in and out before anyone from her past can take notice but once she is there, Natalie realizes that NYC might just be what she needs to help her career.<\/p>\n I love the Cruel Trilogy<\/i><\/a> because we get so much intense, twisted, and angsty deliciousness with every book, and Cruel Fortune<\/i> has it all. It is fast paced, addictive, and consuming. I was surprised more than once and enthralled with every jaw-dropping turn, and I loved it all!<\/p>\n Every character brings so much to the story and I was totally invested in each of their lives. No matter if the character was \u201cgood\u201d or \u201cbad,\u201d I loved their impact on the plot. There are more games, secrets, and lies. More deception, manipulation, and betrayal. This story takes us on an emotional ride that is painful, heartbreaking, and frustrating at times. However, it\u2019s swoony, sexy, sweet, and so freaking good, and with the ups and downs and everything in between, I couldn\u2019t get enough of everything and everyone.<\/p>\n The ending brings another twist and I am so excited to see where the story goes because I want more. More Natalie. More Penn. More Upper East Siders.<\/p>\n Revenge is in the air and I. CAN\u2019T. WAIT!!

\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Only one problem: I lost my muse.<\/span>

\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Until he wasn’t. Until I lost everything.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>And I can’t lose it all again. I’ll do anything to keep it.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Even seeing him again…<\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Cruel-fortune-teaser4.jpg?resize=640%2C335&ssl=1\")
