I was fortunate enough to be offered an ARC of Gloria's Revenge and following the glitz, glamour, secrets and suspense of Gloria's Secret, I had high expectations.Having been left balancing on the cliff edge long enough, GR picks up exactly where GS ended. The passion, conflicting feelings, intimacy and secrecy continues, but this time there are some interesting and surprising twists. Gloria's world is seemingly crashing in around her professionally and personally, her trust is in tatters and her past is lurking in the shadows.  She's vulnerable and hurt yet not without her steely determination and strength. In GS we saw Jaime move from cocky dominant to tender lover, and whilst his dominance is ever present, we see the depth of his need for Gloria and his protective side truly surface. They both remain wonderful characters with an equally wonderful chemistry, in and out of the bedroom.I have to admit that I was expecting it to be a little longer, but it doesn't detract from a great conclusion to their journey.  As always with her books, Nelle makes everything so easy to visualise and with surprises and elements I didn't see coming at all, this was another of her books I couldn't put down. Gloria's Secret just had the edge for me, but both are books I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
