First and foremost, you need to read Even Money before reading Double Down as this is a duet and continues Dario and Bell’s story. And what a story it was! The minute Double Down by Alessandra hit my Kindle, I was both excited and terrified to see how it would all end. I could not wait to get it started.

Where the first book gave us Dario and Bell’s beginning and history, Double Down took us on a suspenseful journey with twists and turns. Every time I thought it would finally be okay, another surprise was thrown at us. This time the cost of being together may be more than either can bear. The stakes have never been higher.

Double Down started right where Even Money left off. From the first word to the last I was consumed. Dario and Bell fell and fell hard for each other. Their love was strong and unbreakable, even as their beginning was full of secrets and lies. But neither could imagine life without the other. Even so, neither could have foreseen the consequences their actions would unleash. I was at the edge of my seat the entire time I was reading.

In the first book, Dario was strong, powerful, sexy, possessive and very controlled. But after that ending, you see a Dario that knows pain and loss and we see a softer side. However, we also see a Dario that will move heaven and earth to protect Bell. Bell is consumed with guilt and jealously, but knows Dario is worth it all. She will stand by her man through everything. No matter the cost.

The All In Duet by Alessandra Torre is a story of love and consequences and I devoured it. Alessandra Torre is a writer that gives us stories with amazing characters that captivate reader and both Even Money and Double Down are must-reads. I loved reading both books and cannot recommend them any higher.
