Just added this to my top reads of the year!! Literally took my breath away and feel like I ran a marathon after finishing this book!! Shame 2 aligns with Blame It On The Pain in Ricardo and Lou-Lou’s point of view and 24 hours later, I still can’t find the perfect adjectives to describe it. Ricardo and Lou-Lou are in for the fight of their lives to not only try to be together, but to just stay alive. Ricardo really is worth the hassle, Jade writes a perfect book boyfriend that underneath has some dark peeking out, and you start to see that in this one. This couple is pure gold together.
“I’m not broken…but before you; I was never whole, either, ” she clarifies. “You’re the missing piece that made me whole. And now, you’re the piece that keeps me from breaking.”
Ashley Jade pulls no punches…she broke my heart, made my jaw drop, while simultaneously grabbing for tissues, cursing the characters, and falling in love with this evil genius Author that concocted this epic, adrenaline fueled ride!! I was literally winded and exhausted by the end, and just when you thought it might all work out….she hits you with the last few sentences. Which by the way, made me want to camp out in her yard waiting for the next installment. I don’t know how I missed this series, or why everyone isn’t reading this, but they NEED to….

BIOTS part 2 is a gutwrenching read with twists that will have u wanting to throw ur kindle across the room screaming “NO!”
Upon the realization that “Damaged people are the most dangerous because they are survivors” may not be the whole truth, when the realization is “broken people are the most dangerous because they just dont give a [^@%” spins you on your axis and scream “$#!% just got real!”
Ashley takes you on an emotional rollercoaster ride that leaves you glued to your seat and gripping on for dear life…
Blame It On the Shame series is a must read!
You haven’t loved hard enough if you didn’t have your heart ripped out of your chest during !
Ricardo DeLuca and Lou-Lou Lucianna have loved so explosively that they can’t stay alive without each other yet the stab repeatedly and draw blood off each other , when together.
It’s one of those violent love stories – Damned If You Do ;Damned If You don’t !
But they are missing pieces of each others soul too
“I’m not broken… but before you; I was never whole, either,” she clarifies. “You’re the missing piece that made me whole. And now, you’re the piece that keeps me from breaking.”
Too bad Bruno DeLuca, who was hand crafted by the Devil himself , is always one step ahead of them. He plays everybody in a flipper -flopper game of plot-counter plot . His aim -to be the Last Man Standing . And in the process , nothing is valuable or unsaleable!
But he forgets that Broken people are the most dangerous… because they just don’t give a fuck.
The plot peaks and falls and twist and turns and it’s very racy and very engrossing read throughout. The characters were already dear to me since book 1 but what a revelation Lou-Lou character has turned out to be.
Full marks to Ashley For creating this wonderful unputdownable story !
Ricardo shall always have my heart and I’ll love him forever !!
“Il mio piccolo superstite,” he whispers, nuzzling my neck. “Ti amerò fino al giorno della mia morte … e non solo.”
After the end of book one I couldn’t wait to get my hands-on part 2
The book draws you in and you can’t stop till the last page,
This book has it all it is such a roller coaster of a ride. It brought out so many emotions in me.
From the start, it is action packed it is fast paced.

I really feel for Ricardo and Lou Lou all they want is to be happy together but that is just impossible with Ricardo’s father still breathing.
This book is dark twisted and it is very emotional in places my heart goes out to them.
Then you have the Evil one as I call him Bruno he is just pure evil in this book, he does something that is unforgivable in my eyes. I really enjoyed the way Ricardo stood up to him.
Is it too late for Ricardo and Lou Lou?
And wow the Twists in this book I really didn’t see coming.
I love the secondary Characters so much in this book you can connect to them well.
I can’t wait for the next in this series.
I really recommend this book
