*I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review
In this second part of the serial, more information related to Alyssa's death comes to the surface and more suspects get added to my long list.
I really enjoyed this installment since we find out just a little more about, well, everything. For starters, more details of Kate's past resurface making me think that the killer might be someone from her past and Kate is his next victim.
We also take a closer look at Jaxon's BDSM club. When they stepped into Benediction, a sexier side of Jaxon came out and Kate explored the Dom/Sub relationship she has with Jaxon. Not only did we find more clues to Alyssa's case, but we also get to see Jaxon and Kate in action and explore their sizzling connection further.
Nick was one of my favorite characters in part one of this serial. You can even say I liked him a little more than Jaxon. Unfortunately, my view of him changes in this one. He is still just as protective of Kate, but there is something about him that I can't put my finger on.
I love that the story got even more suspenseful than the first and that I'm not quite sure who the killer might be. Kate stumbles upon another case that might just be related to the Alyssa's, so the killer at this point could be anyone. I also can't wait to see what happens between Nick, Jaxon, and Kate!
I'm really enjoying this serial. It's a perfect mix of love, lust, and suspense. Can't wait to read part three!

Greed – White Collared Part Two by Shelly Bell is a 2014 Avon Red Impulse publication. I was provided a copy of this book by the publisher and Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
The first book in this steamy e-series ended on a disturbing and ominous note. Kate pulls herself together despite her boss being very worried, and continues on with her plans with Jaxon. She and Jaxon go “undercover” to the BDSM club Jaxon and his wife once frequented looking for answers about his wife's murder.
We learn a little more about Kate's background and the ethical no no she has jumped into head first continues despite the possibility it could all blow up at any moment. Once again we are left with a bit of disturbing and curious information about Jaxon's past and are left wondering if we should trust him.
I loved the first book and have high hopes for the e-series. I know the readers are looking for hot erotica and the author won't disappoint you. For some it could be pretty hot stuff, while others may feel the temperature is just now getting a little warm. My opinion is that we are just getting started and this chapter just gave the reader a small glimpse of what will happen next. The suspense element took a little while to get going in this one and it seemed to be sort of on a back burner for most of the book. However, we started the book off with intense courtroom drama and ended the book with yet another chilling reminder that all may not be as it seems. So, until next time....
The need to set up the apparent mutual sexual exploration between Jaxon and Kate took up a good portion of the book this time. The fact that they both like to experiment and play sex games helps Kate in her new undercover role in the clubs. However, for me this story started to lose it's momentum a bit when this part carried on just a little too long before we got back the reality part, which is that Jaxon is accused of murdering his wife. Once we got back on track with that part of the story, the pace really picked up again. So, for this one I'm going with a 3.5 rounded to 4.
