Deadly Reckoning: Central Florida Stories by Victoria Saccenti
Blurb:
Is she a snake in the grass, or an innocent
victim?
Pete Brummer excels at his Club Nexus security job, where he’s worked since his
friends Kurt and Ethan opened its dungeons. But his personal life is taking a
dive. His sometime-sub has moved on. His nights are disrupted by intense
nightmares of his best friend’s suicide ten years ago.
Neck-deep in logistics for accommodating a VIP guest—an import/export
“businessman” with a suspiciously scrubbed history—he’s shocked to recognize
two faces: Gio Accardi, rising crime lord, and the hot number in his entourage,
Darcy effing Thomas. Back in high school, when he’d assumed
his Dominance was too much for her sweet innocence, she answered his rejection
with a string of poor choices that cost more than one life—then she vanished.
Darcy’s hiding a cache of proof against Accardi and needs Pete’s help. Despite
the danger, he can’t resist the perfect opportunity to avenge his friend’s
death. As he takes her on an extreme sensory journey, he suspects she’s trying
too hard to pretend she isn’t enjoying his demands and humiliations. And that
maybe she’s not the conniving snake he thought she was, but a woman who’s paid
far more than she deserved for the past.
Adults only: Deadly Reckoning is a standalone dark romance,
the final book in the Central Florida Stories/Club Nexus universe. TW Visit the
author's website for full details.
My review:
Deadly Reckoning is a steamy second chance romp that will have
you screaming at the walls and turning on the fan. Trust issues and
miscommunication, and history are only the surface problems with Pete and Darcy
but the chemistry between the two is incendiary and forces them to slow down
and find the truth.
