Hello there, bookworms and happy Tuesday! I hope you’re all enjoying your summer holidays with plenty of books and sunshine.. hopefully sitting at the beach or by the pool. Personally, I’ve had a little bit of R&R with both friends and family, but life is still hectic.. as usual. I’m long overdo for a vacation so when all the stars align and I’m able to take one.. I hope to go big or go home. In the meantime, I figured I’d pop in and bring you another book review!

Not long ago, I received an ARC (advanced reader’s copy) of The Hate Vow, book one of the Quicksilver romance trilogy by author Nicole French. It was a super sexy and thrilling read that ended on one hell of a cliffhanger, so I was thrilled when book two in the series also came my way. To read my review of book one, head here.

Jane and Eric de Vries. 
Often enemies. 
Sometimes lovers. 
Husband and wife. Or are we? 

I wore the dress. We said the vows. 
And somehow it became more than just a stunt to collect his billions. 
A promise bound by love more than hate. 
Until the bastard left me at the altar. 

Now my errant husband has disappeared, leaving me to unravel his secrets, one by one. 
And when he returns, it’s like I never existed. 
Except when he looks at me like he wants to rip my dress from my body. 
Something’s holding him back. And I won’t rest until I discover its cause. 

See, this wild heir is about to find out: karma’s a bitch. 
When Eric returns from wherever he went, he’ll get my revenge. 
My weapons? Batting eyelashes, high heels, and those kisses he can’t resist. 
I’ll break down his mask, little by little. And then I’ll make him pay for what he did. 
I just need to keep my heart in check while I do it. 

This book, much like installment one, was SUCH a rollercoaster. Eric and Jane love each other like no one’s business, and it seems like that’s exactly the problem. Their love is EVERYONE’S business. When Eric’s past comes back to haunt him and do everything in their powers to rip his marriage apart, the newlywed De Vries are forced to make a decision that could change everything they’ve built together; cut and run, or put an end to the insanity and start fighting back as a team.

The emotions are fully charged in part two of this trilogy. Both Jane and Eric feel like their hearts and minds are at war throughout a good chunk of this book so you can’t help but keep turning the pages. In The Hate Vow, the pair had to face society of the New York elite, a world in which Eric was born, and Jane had to learn to navigate quickly. Now, the challenges they face are far more sinister and somehow even closer to home. When an estranged member of Jane’s family makes an unexpected return, all bets are off and the relationship they knew is officially in jeopardy.

I loved every crazy twist and turn of this story. Eric and Jane have a less than conventional love affair, but their chemistry is fantastic, and a bond you can’t help but envy. I both loved and hated every torturous moment of their tumultuous relationship and much like The Hate Vow, I was left wanting more. While not quite the cliffhanger as book one, The Kiss Plot did have me chomping at the bit to see how it will all end in book three. Jane and Eric are two strong characters determined to have their happily ever after, even if they have to find it in two different worlds.

If you’re looking for a book that is full of sexy chemistry and tons of drama and thrills, go meet Eric and Jane De Vries in the Quicksilver series!
