The Devil You Know
This was a fun, hot story. Calla is trying to pick up the financial pieces of her life after her father "gifted" her childhood home to her, along with the mountain of debt and back taxes that go with it. Dom is out for revenge against Calla for abandoning him back when they were in college.
I liked the characters in this book. The best part for me was seeing how Dom and Calla had changed in the previous decade, and when they learned that their opinions of each other were colored by the misinformation fed to them so long ago by Calla's father.
Although Calla's father never actually makes an appearance in the book, he is talked about and referred to so much that I actually hated the guy before I was half way through the story.
A Second Chance at Love
A fast paced story that will keep you turning the pages. A second chance love story between Dom, professional soccer player and Calla. Ten years ago they shared a steamy night together that ended badly, fast forward Calla is almost broke and needs to sell her house, the buyer is none other than Dom but also wants ten days with her. Can she keep her emotions hidden. The story is set in Miami, loved the descriptions.
Second Chances
"The Devil You Know" by Mimi Wells is the story of Domnhall "Dom" Cameron and Calla Stewart. They had a spring break romance that didn't end well, which was ten years ago. The last time they saw each other the police had Dom in handcuffs and they were stuffing him in a police car.
Dom has come a long way. He is now known as the, Devil of the Pitch, and is now an international football star with millions. Calla is down on her luck and if she doesn't sell her home, she is going to lose everything.
Calla and Dom paths cross again. They both had a different memory of that night ten years ago. Dom makes Calla an offer that she can't refuse even if it means ten days at his command.
This is a story about overcoming their issues from childhood and a second chance at love. Even though it has been ten years and they didn't part on good terms, there is still an intense attraction to each other. Will Dom and Calla be able to put the past behind them and take a chance on love?
I really enjoyed this story. I loved the characters and the supporting characters too. Hopefully, there will be other books that continue with some of the supporting characters. FYI, contains mature content.
