Ace Crow Duet #2

The Comeback

Rate this book
Three years passed.
Long and brutal.
Lonely and sometimes scary.
But he swore he’d find me—that’d he’d do everything to get me back. Well, his word was final. His word was true. He’s back.

Ace Crow: Ruthless. Deadly. Risky. An extremely bad man. I’m everything he’s not. I’m the missing piece to his disturbing puzzle. But he’s mistaken about one thing. No one said getting me back was going to be easy. There are always consequences to ones actions. There are always hidden truths. There is always betrayal.
Things aren’t so simple anymore. My life has changed dramatically. Bringing him back in will only be dragging me back down.
I’m afraid.
I shouldn’t.
But I love him.
A lot.
I’m a fool.
BEWARE, my beating heart.

6 PURE GOLD STARS!

description

Wow, I FLOVED this book!! It was beyond what I expected, so RAW, INTENSE, and pure EXPLOSION of emotions. The story just grabbed me right from the very first page and I could not put it down until the very end and even then, I wished I hadn't finished it because I just wanted more and more of this amazing alpha hero and his extraordinary story. ♥

“I’m who you want. I’m who you need. I’m impossible for you to forget.”

Everything began in Beware, a book that was as thrilling as it was uniquely epic. When I read it last year it was only a standalone then and I loved every single thing about it, from the roller-coaster of emotions to the very unexpected twists it put me through. It was just one of those books that stayed with me because it wasn't your conventional love story and that made it unforgettable. So naturally, when I found out that there was going to be a sequel I literally fell out of my chair out of pure shock and joy yet some part of me was a little nervous about how a sequel was going to play out with such complex story. Well, very soon enough I realized that there was nothing to worry about as Ms. Williams absolutely killed it, she delivers an impressive sequel in The Comeback that is PURE GOLD from beginning to end!

What makes this story so incredible is Ace Donovan Crow. This man is like no other hero; he's bold, fearless, and totally relentless when it comes to getting what he wants and nothing can stop him. He's even worst when it comes down to getting back the woman he loves, his London. He becomes a beast of intensity, dominance, and the complete antihero in order to claim what's his and to protect it. That's exactly who Ace is and I love that he's completely unapologetic about it because being the cocky son of gun that he is just makes him that much more irresistible. In The Comeback he brings all his cockiness and other attributes back to life but with ten times more the power and passion. Really, the things this man goes through, the decisions he's forced to make, and the dangers he endures are awful enough to transform him into a ruthless man with a tenacity that is just breathtaking. I loved watching him in action every single time.

“I continued to fight. Why? Because I’m a fucking soldier. I may get knocked down a few times, but nothing will ever stop me. Nothing.”

Now Ace with London? Omg, that was pure burning fire! Their connection, their raw need for each other, and their powerful everlasting love is something that captivated me to no end. Particularly in this book, the anticipation for them to reunite and the explosion of emotions they brought with them had me so anxious, excited, crying, but ultimately extremely happy. I just adored them together, their passion and longing for each other really shines through and makes me feel their beautiful-intense love right in my heart.

“I need my Red. I need her back in my life for good. What’s the point of ruling a kingdom if there’s no queen to share it with? She is my queen. My soulmate. My life.”

“I never thought it would be possible to fall harder for Crow, but I have, and I will fight just as hard as he is.”


But then there's also the exceptional suspense in this story that ties perfectly with these characters and with how they go about fighting for each other. Seriously, I had no idea how things were going to play out or what the big truth was at the end but when everything was revealed I was indeed shocked. I never saw things coming the way they did and I loved that. Being surprised in such unexpected ways, it was riveting! :D

“We survive. We live. But instead of only fighting for what we believe in, we fight until our last breath is stolen. We fight because we’re strong and because we always find a way to make it.”

I don't find books like this one every day but when I do they remind me they're exactly the reason why I LOVE to read romance stories. Yes, The Comeback was that incredible for me and for that I cannot recommend it enough, it's an absolute MUST-READ. So go and start with Beware, if you haven't already, and fall in love with a powerful romance and then prepare yourselves for The Comeback and all the action, thrill, yearning, suspense, and exquisite passion that comes along with Ace Crow in this mind blowing sequel! :D

“See, we all have some goodness somewhere, and we all have demons.”

Solid 4 crime drama stars

So, this will be short, I hope, cause I got what I wanted in the end.

The story was kinda messed-up, confused, it continues three years after the last "shit-down" in book 1, so the emotions were a little bit "watered down".

So London continued with her without Ace. She moved on BUT not completely (cause she still loves Ace, she always will and she still hopes he'll come back even if all the clues and the proof shows differently), and there i was confused again with this female and by her actions later on...well ...she's not an easy person to read LOL, and I was really trying not to do this all the time



she's now involved with another man, a cop Greg and she kinda "loves" him, well at least that's what she says...
anyway, shit really comes down when Ace shows up, out of the blue, and explains what actually happened three years ago! (I can't say it cause it's a spoiler, so suck it up)

and thank God, Ace is still the same Ace from book 1 and I loved every second of him...

Things become a huge shit turmoil, cause now London has this guilt trip cause she cares for two men...but then Greg turns out to be a totally different kinda fuck up (aint that a convenient turn of the events, huh?)...
Besides Greg, several persons are to blame for another "break down", another "shoot out" and another "shit to be revealed" so out main characters (including me) could have their HEA

so , I got satisfied at last!

MAI cambiare le cose.

Ci ho provato, sul serio, ma il mio risentimento era troppo grande. Ho pianto tantissimo, nella lettera finale che Ace scrive a London in Beware, ma è venuto fuori che ogni mia singola lacrima non era altro che per una farsa. Nope, odio profondamente essere presa per i fondelli.
La perfezione non va mai alterata.

Thank you Ms. Williams for giving us a second book to this story! So good!

I don't think I will ever forget London and Ace. He came back with a vengeance after being gone for 3 years! I HATE LONG SEPARATIONS! I think he was surprised by what he found when he came back, which made him that much more determined to get what he wanted.....and that was London!

London had basically moved on with her life, so when Ace reappears after so long, she is thrown for a loop!

What a strong connection between these characters! I loved how Ace fought for her, and for them!

4 Crow Stars!!

 photo 14300128876351_zpso2jloooe.jpg

Now that is how you write a sequel!You take no prisoners and you top yourself because you know that this is the one that's going to leave its mark and I think that Ms.Williams without a doubt truly outdid herself with this one.

As you are well aware of the ending in the first beware book,you know that it ended horrific.That was one of the most gutwrenching endings I've ever read and I cried like a baby.What did I do after that? I recomended it to my friend so she could be in misery as well.One week book hangover!!We were never the same after that.So when we heard there was going to be a part 2,my first reaction was "Hell fu*king yea" then I was like Oh no I don't think its going to be better than the first.I was so so wrong.

Ace F@#king Crow is back.After three years of being away,he's back with a vengence.He wants London and his Empire in that order.

 photo PhotoGrid_1430021782254_zpsluk9fv3z.jpg

After suffering such a horrible loss with thinking Ace was gone,London has finally moved on.She's content and stable in her new life.That was not a easy journey for her but she did it and although she's comfortable,there's still only one man for her.Ace.

Their relationship was NOT an easy one to get back to.London does not trust Ace and she had every right to feel that way.This was not something that could've been taking lightly or rushed no matter what emotions were being exposed.I loved their FIGHT,PASSION and their UNCONDITIONAL LOVE they still had for each other.

 photo 14300147189491_zpspnbxfz5b.jpg

Ace is bigger meaner, hotter, more ruthless than he EVER was.He was damn near a Saint in the first book compare to this one and I loved every minute of it.He does not ask.He takes.

While I devoured this book,there was one thing that I was not comfortable with and I didnt like the situation.It is a spoiler so I wont be discussing what is was.

This was a great follow up to one of my favorite books and I can't wait for Bianca's book.

Seriously.I can't. ;)

"Potrò anche essere più sensibile ora, ma fotti me o la mia famiglia, e il vecchio Ace tornerà a gestire la cosa alla vecchia maniera, senza fare domande. Senza esitazione. Si, è ancora qui dentro, rinchiuso in un posto sicuro, e se ci sarà bisogno di lui, credetemi se vi dico che tornerà in un batter d'occhio.  Assicuratevi di ricordare quel detto, quello che nessuno sembra riuscire a dimenticare: FATE ATTENZIONE A ACE CROW  …Perchè è ancora qui. E sarà sempre pronto".
Ancora più avvincente del primo libro . Bellissimo

The Comeback es el segundo libro de la serie Beware, de Shanora Williams y el ultimo en tener como protagonistas a London y Ace.
El libro se me hizo interminable, la historia se podia haber desarrollado en menos paginas y hubiera quedado mucho mejor, ya que la trama me parecio bastante densa, no se si porque hace poco lei Raw y las historias se parecen mucho o porque simplemente la trama de este segundo libro me parecio muy aburrida.
Los protagonistas no me gustaron, ya en el primer libro sus personalidades no me convencieron y en este empeoro mi opinion sobre ellos. Su relacion no me parecio para nada sana, pero ese no es el gran problema, el gran problema sobre la pareja protagonista es que su " relacion " es totalmente superficial, en ninguna escena senti ese gran amor que se dicen tener el uno al otro.
La manera en la que Ace y London " afrontan " sus problemas deja mucho que desear, me parecieron muy egoistas.
London me cayo aun peor que en Beware, hacia mucho tiempo que no lei sobre una protagonista tan inmadura, egoista e insoportable, ni ella sabia lo que queria. Ademas era una hipocrita,
La verdad es que desde el inicio desconfie de Greg, me parecia que era demasiado ciego sobre lo que ocurria, pero tenia la esperanza de que al autora me sorprendiera y no cayera en los tipicos cliches, obviamente me equivoque.

1.5 Estrellas!

I have really tried to read several books by Shanora Williams but I don't seem to connect with the characters or the writing voice. So parked for now.
April 25, 2015
You think you know, but you have no idea! Ace Crow is back and better than ever in The Comeback. Beware needs to be read prior to Beware 2. Shanora Williams at her finest. She will take you and bring you into a world of darkness, chaos, and undeniable lust that will leave you at the end of your seat begging for more.

We all hated Shanora at the end of Beware – well hate is a strong word, but I had some very harsh words for that woman who made me fall in love and than left me devastated at the end. She heard our cries and is giving us The Comeback. Shanora nailed it!

Ace Crow is back and looking for 3 things. He is seeking the one woman who has made him feel things he thought he would never feel. He is seeking for the truth that lies beneath all the lies and secrets and finally one he finds that he WILL get his revenge. Revenge on everyone who played a part in thinking they could take Ace Crow down for good. Revenge for those that stole 3 years of his life from him and made him lose almost everything he has worked so hard for.

Beware 2 shows us the dirty truth of what truly happened to Ace Crow that kept him away for years. There are more lies, deceit, betrayals, and secrets that will make your head spin. More people will have to die in order for the truth to finally be revealed. Ace will have to fight for what he wants and things will turn bloody. He will have to choose between the life he knows and the life he could possible have in the future. Still stubborn as always, he won’t give up. He is Ace Crow and he does get what he wants.

I was blown away with how this story played out. Never in a million years did I see coming what played out in front of me. We will get to know new faces and reunite with old friends. We will see a side of Ace that we have never seen before. We know his dark side, but when push comes to shove, his dark side does turn sinister.

The explosive connection between Ace and London is stronger than ever. London is stronger than before; she knows she wants Ace however she doesn’t come first anymore. I loved the struggle she had deciding what to do with her future. To stay with the only man she has ever loved or to continue existing in her life without Ace Crow because it’s safer for everyone involved. She is determined to live a normal life because she has to. She fights the chemistry at every turn but in true Crow fashion he is stubborn and doesn’t give up and it ignites. Oh that man can do wicked wicked things with his body.

There is so much that happens in Beware 2 I was never left feeling bored or uninterested. Shanora has created a duet that I fell in love with and I am so very proud of her. Ace Crow will always be my dark sexy mysterious, complicated, asshat secret lover. I was so happy when she gave him back to me because he was ready to show the world that NOBODY FUCKS WITH ACE CROW!

I was given a ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I LOVED Beware. I loved Ace and London. The first installment gutted me. It ripped my heart and soul into pieces and I loved every second. So when I heard that Shanora was writing another story and Ace would be back, I was ecstatic. I was overjoyed and I could not wait. I needed more Ace. More of these two.
So we start off and London has moved on. She has her perfect little family, but her heart still longs for Ace.
Then Ace comes back into the picture and we learn where he has been for the past three years. And it isn't pretty. The entire story is captivating and catches you off your guard MANY times. There is MANY twists and turns and unexpected surprises. Many I didn't even see coming. I had a few theories, but they were not right. It was hot and totally alpha Ace. I had a few issues with London this book. And a couple with Ace. I felt London was different than what I remembered in the first book. When Ace was back, she did A LOT of back and forth, I love him, I don't, I trust him,l I don't, I f*** him, I don't. I want Greg, I Don't. That bothered me a bit. I understood she created this life, but I just felt she wasn't that way and that Ace should of never been questioned at all. Also it was a bit inconsistent at times. Bianca told London he was kidnapped, tortured, etc and then it was like London didn't ask. I would of been like "WHAT!??! what happened!>!" and then later on Bianca said she had no idea what happened to Ace, that he never told her. Even though earlier she said she did. So there were a few inconsistencies here and there. But it didn't take away from the book at all. And also, Ace never really wanted to know his child until later on. I thought our Ace would of been like I want to meet my child NOW. I wanted that. I wanted that interaction between the two. Him saying " I am your father." and it never happened. I was a bit let down with that. But all in all the story was AMAZING and it was everything I hoped for and much more. I loved it. And I am soo excited for a Bianca story. She deserves happiness and I cannot wait to read her story. That is all I can divulge. You will have to read this amazing conclusion for yourself. Two thumbs way up, Shanora does not disappoint!

So I just re-read my review for BEWARE and I am horrified because it was a fab review and I thought it wouldn't do the book justice , well hello I am freakin now because how the heck can I do this book justice and top that other review !!!!!!!!!!!!

Once again BEWARE of ACE , he is back and he is claiming what is his. Get in his way and you will be taken care of.
Ace is a force to be reckon with even after what he has endured for the past 3 years. We only get a small glimpse of the horror but remember he has been living this for 3 long years. On the other side London has finally been able to move on and find some happiness. She suffered so much after Ace died. It was heartbreaking , devastating , OMG that last scene , the ending to book 1 , it did me in. Hearing about how much London suffered even after that sucks. London is building herself back up to that strong woman and she has had a lot of help from Greg , Maurice , Bianca and Aden. You find out quickly London is also good at faking things. She will never be able to let go of Ace so imagine her surprise when Bianca sends that one text that shifts worlds and causes mass chaos.

I do not want to spoil so this is a very tricky review to write !! I loved every minute of this book , I was on the edge of my seat , I was confused and suspicious and flustered by the hotness that is ACE !! OMG he is ruthless and damn I need a man to take charge like that in the bedroom , or anywhere !! I may have had an issue with London not speaking up at first , she waited too long and it made things worse , BUT things happen for a reason and the build up for that HEA was intense and AMAZING. The twists and turns some expected others not so much , the violence the emotion and of course the betrayal. The prologue ,WOW it slammed me , the end of the book , years later , OMG it warmed my heart , the very last lines , EXCITED me just nice to know not all was loss !! And the treat of knowing Bianca will have a book - PRICELESS !!!!!!

We may have had to wait a bit for this book but it is worth it , every word is worth it !! I totally did not top my review for book 1 but just know that as amazing as book 1 was this book is and so much more !! FOR REAL - MUST READ - LIKE NOW !!

"I could take you on the back seat of this car and you wouldn't stop me. You want me. I want you. Let's not play these petty games. We're past that shit, London. Let's be adults."

Well hello there Ace... we have missed you!

I loved Beware. I think it is Shanora's best work to date. I was seriously blown away... in the best way. I even loved the end. Yes... I know. I LOVED it. I don't think every book needs to be a HEA gift-wrapped with a pretty red bow. These books that frustrate and shock us are the reason we are able to read a book and feel that gut-churning suspense.. wonder what is going to happen. If every author told you, "here is my book and it ends with a HEA"... what is the point in reading? So, I reassured Shanora that she did the right thing. Her book is HER book and the ending was perfect!

Then a few months later Shanora had a dream... and these characters were in her head again. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't very skeptical. I don't think an author should write a book just for her fans. From those I've read.. it just never comes out genuine. But I don't think that Shanora forced this book for us. I truly believe that these characters haunted her. They had more to tell and Shanora tells the hell out of it in Beware 2.

This story... just WOW! Once again I am blown away. I did not see this coming. Beware 2 is filled with suspense and twists. Ace is the same cocky bastard. But, he is a bastard with a purpose. Ace is going to get his family back, whatever it takes. I won't go into any details because Beware 2 is a bit of a mind-fuck and I don't want to ruin it for anyone.

I had the honor of Beta reading Beware 2, The Comeback and Shanora nailed it! I love that you trust me with your babies. It is such an absolute pleasure working with you!

Shanora, I could not be more proud of you! You have created a follow up worthy of Beware. That was no small feat. BRAVO!

4 Red & Ace Sexy Stars!

Okay, so I enjoyed this story and its characters and absolutely LOVED Ace in this book. The chemistry and sex between Ace and London was off the charts HOT! I loved that their feelings for each other was undeniable and I was happy that Ace was excited to meet his son and try to change for the better for his family.

The reason this isn't a 5 star read for me is that I couldn't get pass London cheating on Greg and the way she went behind his back constantly. I understand her being stuck between a rock and hard place with the realization that her one and only love & father of her son, is not dead but still alive and learning this while being in a relationship that provided security for both her and her son she couldn't just dump the man that has been there with her for a while, but the deceiving way she constantly snuck off to meet with Ace and have sex while still sleeping with Greg made me really uncomfortable and lose some respect for her.

I also was quite annoyed with Bianca's advice that she gave London in regards on how to handle Ace. I found her to be inconsistent. One minute she's telling London to not trust Ace and don't ruin what she has with Greg and the next she's inviting everyone excluding Greg to a water park and dinner at her home. Grant it, I know she was trying to allow Ace to spend time with his son but to me she was just wishy washy.

Never the less, beyond the cheating, London and Ace's connection is stronger than ever. They are ready and willing to fight for their little family and future together. There are twists and revelations of betrayal by someone that Ace really trusted.

All in all, this was an enjoyable read and an awesome conclusion to their story.

Que maravillosa experiencia viví con este libro, y no fue solo felicidad, sino que primero me hizo llorar, sufrir, desear, tener esperanza, luchar con los sentimiento, aceptar el destino, de nuevo luchar, de nuevo llorar y al final me hizo sentir paz y felicidad. En si todo el libro es una montaña rusa de emociones porque hay que luchar por lo que se quiere y por los que queremos, me encanto al final a pesar que los personajes quedaron con marcas en su alma, siempre habrá un poco de tristeza en medio de nuestra felicidad, pero va a depender mucho de nosotros en lo que nos queremos enfocar. Ame a Ace Crow desde el primer momento y con este libro solo me hizo mas determinada hacia el, puede que el parezca un monstruo pero si logras entrar a su corazón seras la persona mas afortunada, creo que eso fue lo que mas toco mis sentimientos, que la autora nos regalos un personaje complicado, con mucha oscuridad pero con un rayo de luz que logramos atravesar gracias a London.

Quedo satisfecha con el final de esta historia, aunque a la vez porque hay un poco de accion e incertidumbre al final, lo que mas impacta es la ultima frase: CUIDADO CON ACE CROW

"Don't call it a comeback

I been here for years

Rockin my peers and puttin suckas in fear

Makin the tears rain down like a MON-soon

Listen to the bass go BOOM

Explosion, overpowerin

Over the competition, I'm towerin

Wreckin shop, when I drop these lyrics that'll make you call the cops

Don't you dare stare, you betta move

Don't ever compare

Me to the rest that'll all get sliced and diced

Competition's payin the price"

From "Mama Said Knock You Out" LL Cool J

These are the lyrics that resonated with me when I began/finished reading the sequel to Ace and London's story. I can still remember how devastated I was at the end of Beware when it looked like Ace was gone and then when I saw the Facebook posting for book 2, I was beyond pumped to read about Ace Crow sticking it to all of those who betrayed him and claiming the woman who he may not deserve but the one he will damn sure make sure she knows is his.

Loyalty and betrayal are the name of the game in Ace Crow's life, both before his presumed death and now as he works to regroup, rebuild, and reclaim his life and his love. But just like everything in Ace's life, the steps to get everything back are not easy ones, but he didn't expect they would be, and if there's one thing readers know about Ace, it's that he's not afraid of hard work or taking anyone out who's in his way. Loose ends must be tied up…payback must be achieved. Ace didn’t fight his way out of a hellhole prison to lose it all again, and his first objective is London Stallone – the woman who owns him.

London’s life shattered three years ago, and since then, she’s done what she needs to do to take care of her son, heal her heart, as much as she can, and live a normal life without her intense love…without the man who sets her heart and body on fire. But it’s not easy; in fact, it’s harder than hell and the façade she’s been living is slowly crumbling at her feet, especially when her Ace returns and is willing to do whatever it takes to prove to her that she and their son is his number one priority.

Shanora Williams does a fantastic job of expressing London’s guilt, fears, regrets, and brokenness. Nothing is ever simple when it comes to London and Ace’s relationship and so much time has passed since she’s felt Ace’s presence in her life; she needs and wants him desperately but there are extenuating circumstances that have to be discussed and worked through before any decisions can be made about a future.

Donovan “Ace” Crow – he’s alive…he’s back…he’s a new man, changed by the darkness, his past misdeeds, his difficult choices. The lies and betrayal that plagued his life back when he ruled his empire still hold dominion over him, but he wasn’t controlled by them then, and he damn sure won’t be now regardless of how determined his enemies are.

The twists and turns in The Comeback play out marvelously, and while I saw some of them, a few were definitely unexpected. I’m so glad that Shanora Williams gave Ace and London as well as readers the ending we all wanted, and I can’t wait to see what she has in store for Bianca because she sure as hell deserves her happiness as well.

A complimentary copy was provided in exchange for an honest review.

DON’T CALL IT A COMEBACK!!

ACE CROW IS BACK!!!

He may be changed but in my opinion only for the better! Shanora has done it again! Ace owns a piece of my heart and that piece just got bigger after finishing this book. This book had me hooked form the first paragraph and I was ready to take the journey with Ace, London and Bianca, and a few other characters new and old.

Shanora has a way of gripping the reader and not letting go until the very last word. She knows how to make a world so a live that you forget everything around you while you are immersed in it. This book is absolutely no different. It is probably my favorite book of hers to date. I am usually weary with follow up books because I always have in my mind where I want the story to go, but with this book it blew away anything I had thought it would have or be.

We join London and Bianca three years after the alley. Life has been rough but both have moved on in their own ways. London has Aden to take care of and has tried moving forward with her life for his sake. She never truly has let go of Ace. She keeps him close to her in different ways and he is always on her mind. Aden is a constant reminder of him and the love they once had together.

Bianca has moved forward in her career and her personal life. She is a successful business person and fashion designer. She is in a serious relationship and is happy. She has never forgotten her cousin or what happened with them right before the alley. She had a really rough patch we learn about after Ace was gone but she picked herself up and made her life better. Ace still influences her daily life though.

Ace….man did I miss Ace! I don’t want to give away too much with him because learning about what happened to him is so important to the story. It shows what has made him who he is now and how his mindset is different yet the same as before. Ace in my opinion has had it the worst out of them all. There were times I wanted to strangle him but then he would surprise me and not react or act exactly like the old Ace and I would get so excited. I love the new different Ace even more than the old Ace.

This book is a must read if you have read BEWARE and if you haven’t read BEWARE I suggest you go one click now and start. Just remember this…

“BEWARE OF ACE CROW…Because he’s still there. And he will always be ready.”

When I finished this book, I had to sit back and gather myself. When I finished "Beware" I was in a huge state of denial. There was no beware 2 in sight but I refused to believe that Ace was dead. I just so happened to decide to come check out Shanora's page and low and behold... She put me out of my misery because I knew I was right!!! Lol

I screamed... I was soooo fucking happy to see this book on Good reads yesterday. I got it immediately and didn't stop but a few times to take care of human things... Ya know.. Eating, using the bathroom... All that nonsense. Any who..

The drama was ULTIMATE. The backstabbing... A bit predictable. I figured out one or two who were involved pretty quickly but it didn't make me any less piss when it was revealed.

Ace and his sexy self had me and my emotions on 10! I love his ruthlessness... Don't fuck with this man... Because he will fuck you up.

Now... London.... I have to admit (before I figured out the skeevy shit that was going down) I was super pissed about her running back and forth between Ace and Greg. It was messed up and it made me so frustrated. Don't get me wrong. I'm team Donovan Ace Crow allll day. But she should've ended that shit when he asked her too. Then her and Bianca were just annoying the chiz out of me with this love him, hate him, give him a chance, then slow down and think this through bull shit... Yadi yadi ya... Bianca just SHUT UP!

When all the secrets came out and the ass holes were revealed, I was bouncing on my couch like I was jacked up on mountain dew. (did yall think of the kid from Talladega nights when you read that? Lol)

I love books with crazy ass drama! And this series was filled with the craziest drug Lord, cartel king, weapon smuggling drama I have EVER read about and it was effin awesome.

How can there be romance going on with all this crazy? The hell if I know... But I'm glad it happened because those sex scenes tho.... Whew good Lawrt in Heavent (yeah I said it like Madea) that was some Hot Hot Hot Hot stuff.

All in all.. I am beyond satisfied with this sequel. It ended exactly how I needed it to..... Because I don't think I could've dealt with an ending like the first one. Lol

Shanora , Thanks for sharing Ace and London with us. ✌❤

If you have read Beware – book one, you were probably gutted to pieces at the end like I was… “What, no happy ending?”… Well think again. Three years have passed and London has finally moved on and tried to make peace with losing Ace. But for Ace, (Yep, that’s right kids), all he has thought about was getting back to the woman he loves.

This book was raw, emotional, and mysterious and all of those words can also be used to describe the main character Ace Crow. London and Ace had raw love for each other and after she received confirmation that he was indeed dead, she tries to move on and have a normal life for their child. But little does she know, Ace is still alive, being held captive and tortured. When he finally escapes his captor, he knows two things – 1: he needs revenge and 2: he needs London, but after all this time can London give up the perfect, safe little life she has for herself to fall back in to the crazy world of Ace Crow.

London is a strong female character that is trying to do right by her child, but you can’t fight love, the heart wants what the heart wants. It was an emotional ride watching these two fight the pull they have, there were many times in the story I just wanted to scream at both of them. If you are ready for a raw, emotion, mysterious, suspenseful story with a lot of love, lust, and action, this one is for you. Shanora writes the perfect mix of love and suspense with the some twists and turns to get you going and keep you engaged in the story. I am so glad that Beware 1 was not the end of Ace and London’s story. Thank you Shanora for giving us readers more of what we wanted!

Gahhhhhhhh, it is hard to come to terms that this story is over.
Ace Crow is back and badder than before! He is just as awesome as before but a changed man. London is definitely a lot stronger and you realize she’s a badass and I can honestly say I love her more in this book.
The twists and turns had me constantly freaking out. I was on the edge of a cliff during the whole book and I am still reeling. This book is more than words can ever describe but one thing that kept me going is knowing that London and Ace would get their closure.
I knew it had to happen so I toughened out for all the bad stuff. At the end I thought it was over and my heart stopped.
THANK GOD that it wasn’t but it did give me a good scare. Everything was so methodical and how it ended was perfect.
There was so many questions and no answers and to finally get some, it was great.
There is so much action and also there are some steamy moments as well. After reading this you’ll fall for Crow all over again.
I can’t tell too much without giving details but there is so much that happens that you have to scratch your head and wonder if you read it correctly.
My heart raced many times and when Ace came back I think I cried happy tears. I am so happy to say this was even better than the last. You will love the action, profanity, sex, and the characters even more! Get your copy and read it in one sitting. You will not regret it!
P.S. Beware of Ace Crow, he has definitely changed and in my opinion? BETTER than ever before. <3

Ace Crow is back badder, sexier, a bigger bada** attitude, and jealousy something I don't think he's ever experienced, "London,” Ace’s voice is gravelly. Irritated. “I’m here for you and the child I just found out is mine. Does it look like I give a one eff about Greg." He's also naughtier and insatiable I mean it's been three years after all since he's had his woman, "It was a good, quick eff. We’ll soon make love. Don’t worry." I fell in love with him all over again, "That’s one persistent man of yours,” the nurse says, stepping around to lift my gown. “He wouldn’t leave at all. We had to beg him to go home and change clothes… eat… something. He finally caved yesterday." I love Ace and the first book ending was brutal, so brutal that I bi***ed out the author, I'm so glad she listened to the fans and wrote another book.

5 "Monster In Love" Stars

I loved everything about my reunion with Ace & London! I was so curious as to how Shanora was going to continue their story & she wrapped everything up in a beautiful way!

There was a ton of drama, mystery, suspense & of course some HOT sex & pearls with our man Ace Crow!

I wish I would have gotten a little bit more of Ace & Aden bonding time, just because they were so damn cute, but this was about Ace & London so I get it!

Thank you so much Shanora for the ARC! And thank you for taking me on this sexy, suspenseful journey!

Full review will be posted on my blog 3FictionalHearts.wordpress.com & check out all of my pretty teasers on IG! @SmuttyBookLover <3

London and Ace are a couple that I wont forget for a long time! What a great follow up to a story that ended so emotionally traumatizing. Years have passed since the end of Beware, London has tried to move on...but daily thinking of Ace.
This book shows that you keep your friends close but your enemies closer! Your friends are not who you think they are!!! What a twist and turn plot. Kept me turning the pages.
Cant wait to read Bianca's story!!! Keep doing what you are doing Shanora Williams :-)

At first the book started amazingly it was interesting and kept the reader hooked unfortunately during the time it took me to reach the middle of the book it slowly transformed to a winy story about getting the girl back ,love triangle good guy ,bad guy and the hot lady in the middle. I hated it as much i hate all the similar books.

I can't you guys..I ..just ...can't...

Ace and London have great chemistry bla bla bla but how the fuck did she manage to cheat on both of them till 60%? or more than that Idk..i stopped reading after that.

Okay...So fromt he start she tries to move on from his fake death and some years later..she has a son....and her boyfriend took her and her son in..and provided them everything..supported them and loves her so damnn much..

BUT WHAT HAPPENS?

Hero comes back....goes to heroine..she fucks him then has a argument with him and them take A BREAK..

she goes back fucks GREG...but isn't satisfied....BITCH...
Hero comes back and gives her a hotel room's number saying he wants to fuck her..so she sees when GREG leaves and then gets ready/slutty whatever and goes to the given room...THAT'S IT...THAT'S FUCKING IT....

I CAN'TT...I'M SOO FUCKING ANGRY RIGHT NOW.....MORE WITH MYSELF FOR GIVING THIS SHITTY PLOT A CHANCE.
