Nico \u201cJunior\u201d 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\u2019t get to have women like her. It\u2019s why he pushed her away back in high school and 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\u2019s innocent curiosity quickly turns into a dark obsession. Watching Lauren from a distance isn\u2019t enough; he needs to\u00a0make her his.<\/p>\n

This is the second book to follow up Lights Out<\/em>. I was very excited for this one, but sadly it was all over the place for me. So\u2026 this was supposed to be second chance romance, right? A reunion filled with years of buried history, aching regret, slow-burning fury, and tender what-ifs? Instead, I got Second Chance: Who Are You Again? featuring two characters who acted like trauma bonding was foreplay and five minutes of reuniting erased five years of silence. The execution fumbled. Instead of burning, it boiled over.
No slow sizzle. Just\u2026 insta-rage + insta-sex + insta-love = wait, what just happened? But Ohk! I get it, but it could have been better!<\/p>\n

This book? A vendetta wrapped in velvet. It\u2019s dark. It\u2019s devotional. It\u2019s deadly. It\u2019s one of those books that\u2019s easy to admire but hard to fully enjoy. Solid three and a half stars. It\u2019s the kind of book that feels profound while you\u2019re reading it, but exhausting in some. Expect chaos. Expect ache. Expect obsession dressed in violence and velvet. Basically, I just read it for the smut.<\/p>\n
