What a great conclusion to this duet! I have loved the Vegas Immortals world and this book just feels so organic in its duet conclusion. If you’re looking for angst, tears, a bit of crazy, some smut and a HAE - you’ll get it all here.

What a thrilling and perfect ending to this duology. This book was action-packed! Miranda, being the bad-ass she is, fighting off all the immortal gods she unintentionally set free. I love an independent, powerful female protagonisti! Xander is such a simp for Miranda. 😂
For chapters, I was entirely enthralled in the teasing tension of their building relationship.  There is humor and playful banter, 'you're mine', 'touch her and die' basically everything you could want from a romance. This book really portrayed ptsd and mental health concerns from its characters in a relatable and empathetic way. I love the way this book duo wrapped up so naturally. I will definitely be recommending these books to all my friends!

I LOVE the Vegas Immortals series! This was the perfect ending to the Beast and The Badass duet. I adore Miranda and Xander. I can't wait to see what is next!

Miranda and Xander are back (with Bob!) Miranda is dead set on killing all of the gods she released and Xander is trying his best to keep her from doing it, believing she will get herself killed. The more they spend time together, the spicier things get.
Opinion
Holy spice levels Batman! Chapter 19 alone will knock your socks off. But this book is not only about the spice. The plot was hilarious, captivating and drool worthy all rolled into one. Roberds has a writing style that will leave you wishing you read the book slower but knowing the next book to come out will be devoured. I have yet to read a book by Roberds that hasn't left me speechless and wanting more.
Many thanks to Holly Roberds for providing me with an ARC of this book.
