A Hurt So Sweet Volume 1 was my first experience with Betti Rosewood and I was hooked. Hooked so much I thought I would die if I didn’t get the second book ASAP. OMG! The twists and turns in this book are amazing and kept me turning the pages as fast as I could to see what was going to happen next. It was amazing, mind blowing and I absolutely loved it!
What a crazy ride we are taken on with this installment of this amazing series. Pandora and Dexter are insane with everything going on, my emotions were all over the place and my head was spinning out of control. Pandora is finally coming into her own and standing up for herself, well the best she can, because every time she turns around there’s someone there to take what they want whether she wants it or not. Dexter is torn between her and his feelings for Lily Anna, at one time she made him actually feel and now, he’s filled with revenge and will stop at nothing to get it. Enter Easton, another first born and makes an impression on Pandora, he makes her feel safe, but deep down he’s not who she thinks he is and I have a feeling that she’s going to find out the hard way that he’s no different from the other firstborns and worse than Dexter. Twists and turns will keep you turning the pages and I totally did not see the end coming the way it did, I was floored. This author has a way with spinning her web of darkness and leaves you guessing as to what’s coming next and I honestly can’t wait for the next book to see what happens.
I don’t even know what to say right now except I loved it and can’t wait for volume three!
A Hurt So Sweet Volume Two by Betti Rosewood is deliciously dark! I could not put this book down and I cannot wait for Volume Three! If you enjoy read Dark Romance then this is definitely a must read!
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This story picks up at the end of book one with Dexter and Pandora in the same position they were in. I was surprised that what I thought would happen didn’t go the way I thought. Dexter is still using his power over the firstborns. He has a plan of revenge and he plans on using Pandora to help play it out.
The missing firstborn Easton has showed up with his own plans. He gets friendly with Pandora and she finally feels like she has an friend. The fact that Easton and Dexter don’t get a long makes things even better and Pandora uses that to her advantage.
Right when Pandora feels like she has some power over people she realizes that’s not the case. This book continues on a path of twisted and crazy things the elite do. We find answers to some questions we had in the story up to this point but are also left with other questions. The ending leaves us with a cliffhanger that makes you once again want to yell at Betti saying WHY!!! But also makes you just want the next book more! I absolutely love Betti’s writing and the fact that her stories suck you in. I cant wait for more of her work…
Betti Rosewood will leave you saying WTF! AHSS volume 2 is just as twisted, dark and intense as volume 1 if not more. The suspense will have you devouring the pages of this book. The title is perfection for the storyline. You hurt but in the sweetest most twisted way. You think one thing but it’s all sorts of messed up but in a delicious way. Just when you think things couldn’t get anymore fudged up for Pandora it just does. It seems like there is no escaping the torment and darkness that follows her name. This is a must read so I suggest you start volume one now if you haven’t. You will be on the ride of your life with this one!
Raw, Wicked, and Riveting What an incredible ride.. This book just about ripped my heart out… Betti is hands down one of the Queens of dark and twisted.. I am speechless I can’t even just wow wow wow!!
An intensely dark mind fuck. This book had me shuddering with every delicious dark word.
6stars I can’t wait for The next bring it on!
Wow, wow, wow! Book two is even more twisted and suspenseful! With a jaw dropping cliffhanger, you will be hanging on by the edge of your finger tips! As some secrets come out, even more questions need answers! I am absolutely enthralled by this story and cannot wait to see what happens next!
In A Hurt So Sweet Volume 2 Dexter and Pandora’s story picks up where it ended in Volume 1.
Oh my …and how it continues. Again I was captivated from the very first page and kept on the edge of my seat throughout this dark, sexy and twisted story.
And once more I had to read as fast as possible to see where to and how far Ms. Rosewood would go with this story… full of drama and suspense…
Well, get ready for a fast-paced and devilish twisted read. And a cliffhanger that will make you love-hate Ms. Rosewood!
This book picks up right where the first one left off so we get the answer to the cliffhanger! This series is equal parts suspense, dark & bully. The verdict is still out on how I feel about Dexter but I adore Pandora now, she’s trying to grow into her skin, albeit not very successfully lol but she’s evolving.
I voluntarily reviewed a advanced readers copy of this book
5 OMG MOMENT STARS!! OMG, OMG, OMG….This story just keeps getting more intense. I was on the edge of my seat on every page and could not stop reading. Pandora and Dexter’s story has all the feels and keeps getting better with every word. I am so addicted to Betti Rosewood’s words…..I can’t get enough of them. I need the next book.
Just when I thought that Pandora would have an ally, someone to protect her, or at least to deflect some of the negativity… Man! Am I ever glad I went to school before all of the bullying really became so prevalent and the lack of official response became so sparse. It was nice to have my suspicions about the person that Dexter has hidden in the secret room. And the revelations about the past – Lilly Anna’s journey is a sure eye-opener. Book 2 ends in a cliffhanger so expect to be left with a whole lot of questions to be answered in the next story.
This is book two and it just keeps getting better and better! I was on the ed gf e if my seat. I did not want to stop reading. I am do caught up with these characters! They worked their way into my heart! A definite must have! I can not wait for book three! Check it out today. Job well done!!!!
The second part to this series ends in another cliffhanger but let me tell you things are heating up. In this second book we meet a new firstborn who makes a play for Pandora. Dex isn’t very happy about this at all because he feels Pandora is only his. Easton Brantley makes it known that he wants Pandora for himself and uses here as a pawn in his scheme much like Dex is using her to get back at her father. I can honestly say I can’t wait to read what’s in store for her in the next book. Betti has a way of dragging you in and holding you captive. The angst and darkness in this series makes me shiver and gasp all the way through. My emotions were on high alert with this one much like it was with the first one!!!!

I’m kind of annoyed at this cliff hanger. Pandora seems to have lost her fight. That makes the story less appealing. She was fighting them in the first book. This time she was hiding from them. I did guess the plot twist. The residents in this town are messed up. I’m not sure if I will continue this series.
OMFG!! What the heck did I just read. Wow!! You need to read vol. 1 before reading this.
If you thought book one took you on a twisted ride, you haven’t seen anything yet. The book picks up right where book one ended. Did he or didn’t he, that is the million dollar question?
During this one, a boy who has been gone returns. Easton has been abroad for the past year. When he see Pandora, he sets his sights on her. Pandora finally has someone who can protect her from the malicious torture the firstborns do to her. There are some questions answered, but there are more questions that come up. Pandora has become a pawn in this little game they’re playing. It’s a game of revenge, betrayal and lies. These firstborns are so twisted and sadistic. I really feel for Pandora. Will she get out of this with her sanity intact? There are so many twists, some I saw coming, and others came out of right field and smacked me right in the face, and left me gasping. This may be a dark and twisted story, but I love it. I can’t wait to read more.
This is book two in this intense, dark and twisted series. You must read book one first get the full story so far. I am enjoying this series but I would be lying if I didn’t admit to very often feeling uncomfortable as the story unfolds. This is a series filled with bullying of the verbal, physical and sexual variety, secrets, lies, hidden agendas, cruel twists and many disturbing and revolting actions are done by virtually every single character involved. Trust me when I say there is nothing, warm, fuzzy or faintly romantic in here, so if you have any doubts about being able to enjoy this series, you might want to forgo it. That being said, it is very hard not to become ensnared in the storyline, if for no other reason than it is like an epic tragedy being played out right before your eyes, starring characters you may not like much but you still can’t look away. This is my honest, voluntary review.
A Hurt So Sweet Volume 2 (recommend reading in order)
BY Betti Rosewood
Omg!! How amazing!! Kept me at the edge of my seat!! I just want more and more!! So many twists and turns and quite intense.
Very suspenseful! Can not wait for Book 3.
Betti brings us Volume TWO of A Hurt So Sweet. Make sure you read Volume One before diving into this one because this book picks up RIGHT where Volume One left off!
Rosewood brings us another delicious and deceitful story from Pandora and the Firstborns. This book is calculated and unique. The characters are mean and brutal. They have no sympathy. Just when you think you have something figured out, Betti comes in and rips the rug out from underneath you and puts you on your ass.
I can’t decide which Firstborn I love more. They are all vicious and deadly. Dexter, Lai, Julian, Caspian, and now Easton is back.
I can’t wait to see what Betti brings us in Volume Three because after that ending I am itching to find out what she’s going to do. I have ended up with more questions than I had at the start of Volume Two! But that is in true Betti fashion and I can’t wait to see how the story unfolds.
When I started reading I couldn’t put it down.Betti Rosewood is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.Can’t wait for the next book.
