Crimson Desert (Bittersweet Duet #2) By Melissa Jane
Now back across the border, Laila realizes that all had not been as it seemed at the Florez mansion. Learning to trust the man she wanted dead was going to take time. Time was not on her side.
For Aiden, the damage was done. There was no going back. Except for one thing… revenge.
Giving up was never an option for Juan. Not even now when everything had changed. He lived and breathed the thrill of the chase and this time the end prize was too great to lose.
This is a dark story where the taste for love and revenge clash in the most unforgiving ways.

After the way the first book ended I was really excited about where this one was going and it didn't disappoint. There were so many times I thought it was going to end badly, and although it wasn't perfect I loved it. I don't think a book this dark, this gritty and raw is meant to have a perfect happily ever after with a house, white picket fence stuff.
Her brother, Aiden and his hired help move across the country escaping Juan and their father's men. There are so many bloody moments, moments you hold your breath and think SHIT, this is over.
The book is a good way to finish the duet, it was entertaining from the get go.

Little Doll (Bittersweet duet #1) By Melissa Jane
Little Doll is a dark, gritty story not for the faint hearted. It’s not all bad. Redemption, forgiveness and trust are central themes that are weaved amongst the character’s interactions. If you are easily offended by most things violent, this tale of survival may not be for you.
Laila had already overcome many heartbreaking obstacles in her twenty-five years… but none compared to this. With her brother missing and no other family to speak of, Laila has no idea of the evil that shadows her every move. Now in the hands of a notorious cartel family, she quickly learns that trust and betrayal are a deadly mix.
Aiden had a plan. One that was operating smoothly until Laila surfaced in his father’s mansion. With time against him, he must work night and day to right the wrongs that threaten to expose his ultimate betrayal.
Juan and Aiden share many differences, but the one thing that threatens to tear their family apart is the one thing they want to claim as their own, no matter what the costs.

This is a very, dark, gritty story with a lot of story lines not meant for the faint hearted. I will admit, I don't usually like this kind of novel, the gritty, sickening, disturbing story's really get to me, but I found myself lulled into this story for some reason.
From the very beginning I found myself really wanting to find out where her brother was, who was this AIDEN??? WHY did she have an affect on him.
Laila fly's across the country to find her brother who hasn't been in touch for weeks. Any other person wouldn't care. What's a few weeks right?
Wrong.
Her brother usually rings her dead on time on the exact same day's, so when he still hasn't gotten in touch she heads off in search for him, only telling her only friend where she's going.
It's how she ends up meet Juan, a stranger in a cafe where she looks for her brother.
Laila is then captured, exposed, beaten, raped, and has to work with one of the notorious cartel familes sons to survive.
One is as dangerous as any of the men she had come in contact with since arriving at their mansion, but something about Aiden tells her she's safe.
For now
Juan on the other hand I completely hated from the get go. Even when she explained him to be this dark, rugged, handsome man with evil eyes did I really wish she would have ran away, but she didn't.
Her smart mouth and her unsubmisive attitude is what gets her into the world of trouble, heartache, pain, and left to face with what they do for the rest of her life.
I felt so sorry for her. I really wanted Aiden to do something, to save her, but when Juan is out for something he really does get it. What they did to her was brutal, cruel and uncalled for, but I suppose in life that is how things are.
I found her spirit, her strength, her need to stay sane compelling. I was so in awe of this girl, this woman, that I really ended up liking her.
