About this listen

From USA Today best-selling author Kilby Blades, the stunning sequel to Snapdragon....

When taking the promotion that means leaving Darby turns out to be the biggest mistake of Michael's life, crafting a second chance is his only redemption. He'll go to extremes to unravel their tangled web. But winning her heart may be the least of his worries. Darby's father is up to no good, a crooked senator whose dirty dealings are at cross-purposes with Michael's social justice work.

They are two powerful men, both vying for control over the future of Chicago's South Side, both vying for Darby's loyalty. Only Frank Christensen plays dangerous games. When Frank goes too far and places Darby in a bad situation with the mafia, how will Michael protect her from half a world away?

This is the second book in the Gilded Love series. I love, love this series! The story continues where the first book left off. Michael and Darby's duet is beautifully written, emotional, passionate, and enthralling, filled with secrets, and twists and turns. I loved the amazing characters, the sweet and sexy romance, and the little suspense. Sebastian York did an outstanding job with the narration. This is an excellent duet, and I HIGHLY recommend it.

Excellent Duet!

After reading the book, I also had to listen to the audiobook.
And as always: Sebastian did an amazing job with his narration.

The perfect second book after Snapdragon.
This time it's written in Michael's POV. We get to know his history a bit better, and of course his site how he feels about Darby.

In this book their story goes on and they experience a lot together and a part of each other.

A must-read when you liked book 1 in the Gilded Love series.

Following on from Snapdragon, which left us with not quite a huge cliffie, but nevertheless left us with many questions with regard to Darby’s father, and his misdoings, and of course I had the overwhelming need for Darby and Michael to get their happy ever after. Their ‘not a love story’ rapidly becomes a long distance friendship with lots of video messaging, messaging and phone calls, with a huge possibility for it to become a forever love story, if they’d just stop their facade and admit to their feelings. A proper feel good love story with some added drama from the corrupt Chicago officials. This time the story is written from Michael’s point of view (great to find out about his struggles and insecurities), and Sebastian York narrates perfectly (as always), and there’s also a cameo from Erin Mallon for the epilogue. A joy to listen to.

Book 2 in the series. Like how Kirby the author, wrote the male , Michael, POV . Michael loves Darby very much, he’s afraid if he says anything to her he will lose her . There are many twists and turns, lots of adventure for Michael to confince himself that the love is real .

Sebastian York performance was fantastic, smooth and very strong

This story will Gilde your heart

The story of Michael and Darby continues from Michael's point of view in this, the second part of this stunning two parter.

With this, an understanding of the family feuds and all the other mysterious parts of Snapdragon is developed.

The way that the Kilby Blades manages to continue this relationship, and story, beyond the end if the 'arrangement' is just stunning.

All in all, a skillfully crafted and well deserved end for Darby and Michael.

Amazing!
