The stunning conclusion to the All In Duet…

In Vegas, there was one man who was off limits. One man… and I fell for him.

I knew there were risks. Still, I played the game. When Dario Capece called, I answered. When he beckoned, I came. When he broke all my rules, I looked the other way.

I knew there were risks. I just never realized they included death.

*Note, this book is the second and final book in the All In Duet. It should be read after Even Money.

Review

4 “Love me through the cracks” stars!

Double Down picks up immediately after the ending of Even Money. Bell is in hiding and Dario is trying to bring down the bad guys. It’s exciting, fast-paced, and entertaining, and a good mix of sexy, sweet, swoony, and suspenseful moments.

I was so glad to get more of Bell and Dario in Double Down. Bell is brave and strong throughout the story. She has a backbone and stands up for herself and what she wants. She is independent but also accepts support when she needs it and I loved that she doesn’t push Dario away or hide her feelings.

Dario has means to keep his girl safe and a strong determination to handle the situation. I loved the fact that Bell remained the most important thing in his life and he would do anything for her.

“Anything? That’s a strong word, Dario.
It wasn’t. Anything was a weak word where she was concerned. Anything didn’t begin to cover the enormity of what he would do to protect her…
Everything was a far better word. He’d do everything to protect her and burn down this town if that’s what it took.

Even though they are apart early in the story because of everything that went down, you can feel that their connection is strong as ever. Dario is so sweet when it comes to Bell and I couldn’t help but swoon. And when they come together, they are tender and loving but also super steamy, lighting the pages on fire.

Bell and Dario experience many emotions, all of which were realistic. Feelings of guilt, regret, and pain are almost too overpowering but it’s Bell and Dario’s love that heals their hearts. I loved that there is no question about how they feel and they mean it when they go all in.

I loved that this story is written in multiple POVs, providing insight into what each character is thinking. All of the different players in the game, watch with a specific role, are intriguing and I loved seeing their sides of the story. Then there are the twists that took me by surprise and left me guessing what would come next.

Now that the duet is complete, I can’t help but wonder if there is going to be more. I loved seeing Bell and Dario fight for their HEA but there is definitely unfinished business with other characters. Overall, I really enjoyed the All In Duet and I’d be curious to see how the future plays out and whether or not Bell and Dario will face new surprises as the years go by.
