Caston and Sabrina have a long road ahead of them in the second book of the Black Hollywood Duology. It’s not going to be easy. Well on their way to finding their happily ever after in the first book and everything they knew was changed in a instant. Can they find the strength and courage to pick up the pieces and put their lives back together? Will they find their happily ever after or will Beverly get the last word in and prevent them from reaching their every dream?Sabrina is trying to recover from the terrible shooting that left her in the hospital clinging to life at the end of the first book but Caston is not going to give up on her. He knows what they have is a love for all of time, forever. But faced with the fate that she will never dance again, Sabrina’s dreams are slowly being pulled right from her. She is the same spirited person to everyone that sees her, but there is so much more going on. The scars left from the shooting are only visible on her leg, it’s the scars that we can’t see that have changed her. But she has the love and support of the most amazing man in the world and that keeps her pushing despite the odds.Caston on the other hand is about to learn that everything he thought about his life was a complete lie. His past was taken from him and he was robbed of his youth. But with his amazing security team, he is hoping that he can put the pieces together and come out the victor in the life he has been given.This book was intense. It was a hard emotional struggle for both of these characters, but there was so much more than their own turmoil wreaking havoc. Sabrina and Caston are destined to be together and they are the picture perfect couple, but the odds are not in their favor and every time they move, the story shifts, the plot thickens and we are left on the edge of our seats wondering what else could possibly happen.It is not a perfect world out there, but these two can’t seem to catch a break no matter how much they try and how much they love. Each twist and each turn just kept me flipping through the pages in this saga. It was gripping, heart breaking, touching and loving. The steam is still there and the passion is still there, but with everything going against them, I continuously sat back and wondered if they were ever going to make it to their happily ever after.This was a hot read as much as the first one, but there were so many unexpected twists and turns in this story my brain and my heart were in a constant struggle. You want the power of love to be the ultimate, but with the forces of revenge, it just makes you think it is hopeless for these two.I loved the characters in this series as much the second time around as I did in the first book, but I wasn’t sure if my heart was going to survive it. This book was well written and full of complete angst, drama and passion. It is a must read and I will definately be revisiting Cass and Bre’s story again.*I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review
