Doubling Down (Double Trouble #2) by Cari Z. & L.A. Witt

My main issue with the previous installment "Double or Nothing" was Rich and Leo's relationship wasn't resolved in a "proper" way. I don't mind a HFN, but I couldn't feel a real couple when the book ended which made me feel a bit disappointed. I LOVED the book and really wished for a bit more from these two so I imagine how happy I was when this book was magically released!

I've been a slow reader the past month with too much going on in my life, so when I FINALLY sat down to read yesterday I wasn't sure how much I'll manage before I drop unconscious. Turns out I had more juice then I realized as I simply COULD NOT put this book down. I finished the book near 4 a.m. with burning eyes (let's not talk about how tired I was today...) with a HUGE smile on my face. NOW I didn't even need to close my eyes to imagine a beautiful future for Rich and Leo.

Double or Nothing (Double Trouble, #1) by Cari Z. & L.A. Witt

What a great book! Loved it! It was packed full of action and yet there was still enough time for relationship buildup. My only complaint is the book finished quite abruptly leaving us with a sort of HFN. I really wish we'd get another book so I could really FEEL the closure of the things both men were dealing with as well as a real feel of a relationship forming. Yet in a way it WAS enough for me. I'm the kind of gal who can be totally satisfied with a HFN and I guess I sort of got what I wanted. Well, almost ;)

Rich Cody is a US Marshal and though it's what he wanted to do in life (after he had enough as a Marine) he is bored out of his mind of all the "babysitting" he has been doing in WITSEC. He wants a REAL job.. and he gets exactly that after being assigned to take Leotrim Nicolosi, "Leo" in short, to a safe house. It all blows to shit when the mobsters he decided to take down makes a move to grab him and when Rich and Leo flee the scene they realize just how powerful and connected these guys are. EVERYTHING is compromised so they better find their own way from now on, escaping EVERYONE because they haven't a clue who they can trust within the Marshals, FBI, DI's office..
