I once was lost, but now I’m found.The name’s Carina Ricci and Mateo belongs to me.He thinks he’s the leader, but he’s blind to what I see.He’s just a pawn in this sick and twisted game.As of right now, things are still tame.I was promised to him since birth,But what he doesn’t know is this … everyone fears and my sights are set on him.
The secrets, lies, and blood I’ve shed,
Make the psychopath buzz in my head.
He’s my king, and I’m his queen.
He’ll shiver when he sees the things I’ve seen.
Yet, what I didn’t expect is to be caught in this, too.
The game we are playing is starting anew.
The enemy is now becoming a friend.
I think we’re all going to die when it finally ends.

I’ve never read a book so fast in my life! I need the next one asap! the ending omg!!! I need book 3! I did not plan on getting addicted to this series but I am officially hooked
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I highly recommend reading the first book in this series before reading this book! The plot was well written and well planned, not to mention the characters were so well detailed that I was totally engaged until the turn of the very last page!
This continues from Book 1, and I strongly recommend you read Book 1 before reading this one. Carina is proving she’s no pushover, but there are twists that come up that keep you guessing. It ends on another cliffhanger, and I enjoy the series, but I think for these short reads I would prefer to wait for the entire series to read them.
This is another interesting book to the series. The author once again brings strong characters and pulls you into the story,keeps you reading to the end and leaves you wanting more. Well done! I can’t wait for the next book!

There is no way I’m ruining this one for anyone… This series needs to be read. I’m not a fan of cliffs but I do make a few exceptions and this is one of them times.
Addictive from the cover to the last letter. Plot twists and creative writing that grabs your attention. That cliff has me floored waiting for book 3. I received an ARC for an honest and voluntarily review.
“I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book via Booksprout.” Awesome read and the characters were very well written.
Carina wakes up in a home she doesn’t recognize and finds Mateo watching over her. Carina doesn’t remember what she is to Mateo. I enjoyed reading this book. I loved the storyline and plot. This is a romance suspense. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This is the second book in the series and book 1 needs to be read first.
Carina Ricci is not the woman everyone thought she was and now Mateo Calvetti must decide how he is going to deal with what was revealed in the first book.
Will Carina complete her mission or will she protect Mateo from what could be coming?
This series is getting so intense and I have no idea when the next book is coming!
I loved Carina and gained ever more respect for her after what was revealed in the last book! She is completely kick butt and I hope Camille starts treating her better or even better leaves the house soon! My heart broke again when we discover what Carina went through in her past and I felt so sorry for her!
I am super curious to see what Mateo does as in this book we saw strength when dealing with Carina but another side that came out with Vinny and that scene.
I loved how Carina acted with Mateo’s dad and I have a feeling more is coming with that and I can’t wait!
The end was like OMG!!!!
I eagerly wait for the next book in the series! – By Rebecca
Blood & Secrets 2 is the 2nd installment in the series. This is not a standalone, reading Blood & Secrets 1 is a must before proceeding.
HOLY FREAKING SHITE that cliffhanger at the end!! Damn I didn’t see that coming.
I have soooo many questions now that need to be answered, and I’m sure they will be in the next book.
So this book picks up right were we left off in the first book. Carina in this book is kickass and fearless, she doesn’t cower down for anyone or anything, and that includes Mateo.
The intense chemistry between them both is scorching hot!!!
This book is fast paced and leaves you wanting, no needing more.
Another great read by Rose.
I can’t wait for the next book!
Wow, what a cliffhanger!
This super fast paced installment covers a lot of history between Mateo and Carina.
When Carina finally sees Mateo as hers to protect, things get interesting. Love her strength and skills as she shows her independence in the way she’s overcome her disfunctional and abusive past.
I hate cliffys, but I really want to know what happens next in this graphic, violent and sexy read!

After that revelation at the end of book 1, I just couldn’t wait for this one! I was so excited when it was delivered at my kindle and I dived into it immediately!
At the start of the book we get to see some of Carina’s childhood, who was her first kill and how that affected her. That moment was the catalyst for the person she became. Mateo is in the middle of too much open affairs while trying to tame Carina. What he doesn’t understand is that they are both fighting for dominance. Mateo and Carina are both sinfully dark and although they are incapable of emotions they wake a sexual hunger to each other. All the scenes between them is hot, crazy and oh so dark! It is good that we get to see a different side of Carina and not just her crazy one.
The second book didn’t disappoint and I’m once again left wanting more! Without argument Rose Harper is the Queen of Cliffhangers; she’s seriously killing me every time! August 21st can’t come fast enough :-/
I. Am. Gobsmacked! GAH! I want to simultaneously kill and kiss this author for giving us another cliff-hanger to end all cliff-hangers!
This book is exciting, gritty and dangerously sexy. It is the second book in a series that must be read in order. It is told in dual POV and is extremely fast paced. So fast in fact that the words flew by and now I’m looking at my kindle wondering WTH just happened.
We begin where the first instalment left off. Carina’s secret is out of the bag and Mateo is still trying to pry the secrets his father keeps.
In my last review, I stated that I couldn’t wait to see Carina explode. Although she did not explode, she did not disappoint. She is badass and fearless. There is still so much of her character that is unknown. I, for one, am excited, thrilled even, to delve deeper into Carina’s character.
Mateo although still egocentric and an a-hole shows somewhat of a softer side in this instalment. He is definitely a man I love to hate.
The passion between Mateo and Carina is simmering and so hot.
This series is an epic and sexy battle of the sexes. Who will come up on top is anyone’s guess.
Blood & Secrets 2 is an action filled, heart-pumping helluva read and I am completely aching for the next instalment. (Dyiiiing!!)
I received an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Here is the first book in the series.Blood and Secrets (Calvetti Crime Family)
OMG Could this series keep getting any better or what. HOLY COW. The Twist, the Turns, the Suspense, the Romance and the down right Thrill of it all is amazing. If you haven’t started this series, I recommend you do so ASAP. The author will take you on a ride you won’t soon forget. The words will fly off the page as you turn them one after another to see what’s going to happen next.
Blood and Secrets is about the children of two families. Mateo is the eldest and in line to run the Calvetti Crime Family. Carina was raised from a small child to be “Reap”, a Stone Cold Killer with no remorse, and one Main Mark. Both are cold and calculating in their own ways and they have been pledged to each other in an arranged marriage to merge the families. However there are plots underfoot Mateo and Carina are not aware of? Who’s is out to destroy who and why?
These two have their own agendas but when they come together explosive things happen. They can fight for control and dominance in the outside world but can they fight the pull to one another? Can Mateo keep Carina and his family safe from the storm that’s coming? Can Carina, REAP, keep true to her training and kill the mark and keep the Mateo and his family safe at the same time? So Many questions. The author has written a thrilling storyline that this reader can’t get enough of. Highly Recommend and looking forward to Blood & Secrets #3.
I got a bit confused at first, this is supposed to be the second book and the continuation of the 1st. I stopped and read the 1st book before continuing and giving my review, otherwise I might have given a wrong rating. I have to say this is another cliffhanger like the first, so I would really wait for the next one in order enjoy the story fully.
The first one got me on edge, and this one as well. The twist and turns in the story got my attention, not just this book but from the very first book too, though I had some reservations on that one, but since i read this, it got clearer for me. I cannot say much, but get the 1st and this book and REEEEAAAD. Sorry, no spoilers here. Its a recommended read. The whole series for that matter.
Wow. I had to go back and reread book 1 so I didn’t miss anything. Intense, suspenseful and wildly hot. No calm wallflower in this story. Gripping and intriguing, you can’t put down. I can’t wait for the next book.
