Conflicted Desire

In Ava Stark’s Conflicted Desire the second book of her new Conflicted series, Theo and Audrey are both living their lives and trying very hard to act as though they are not affected by their previous relationship which left them both in tatters. Theo has changed. He is somewhat cold and hard and is showcased as being that way when he dismisses a current but new girlfriend from his bed and life. Shortly after he begins a new relationship and this time he’s working to be the man he knows he once was.

Audrey’s job is taking off and it has nothing to do with her relationship with her boss. However, there is a whisper that things are being shaken up with Theo’s company getting ready to go public. Once this couple manages to talk out their problems regarding the break up, Audrey is determined to help bring the villains into the light.

This book was very well written. It is evenly paced and held me in suspense until the very end. For a moment I thought for sure this couple were going to get their HEA. While they are definitely in a better place than they were at the end of book one, someone is still out to take over Theo’s company and their presence has cast a shadow upon this pair of lovers.

If you like smartly written books, especially dealing with banking and finance, this would be an excellent choice.

This is part two of the Conflicted series. If you haven't read Conflicted Interest, you might want to read it first.
I would have liked to have seen more of Theo and Audrey together. But it did amp up the suspense of the book the way that it is written.

This is the second book in the Conflicted Series by Ava Starke and it is an exciting as the first one. This book makes you question all relationships; both the good and the bad. The triangle of Alex, Audrey, and Theo shows the readers that not all is as it seems; keep both eyes open and follow your heart and your gut. This book is full of romance, surprise, and some serious issues that are often hard to discuss. This book was a good read and I am excited to read the rest in the series. The struggles in a relationship are well written in this book and it makes you wonder if like Audrey, when you see a relationship do you actually know what you are seeing?
Thank you NetGalley and Ava Starke for allowing this book to be read and reviewed by me.

I found Audrey and Theo's story an entertaining read. There was a good dose of heart-ache, suspense, and romance. Not a steamy read but the chemistry between the two characters is sizzling. I didn't read the first book but I caught up quickly and didn't have any issues following what was happening. I enjoyed the read tremendously. The characters were interesting, somewhat relatable, Theo was dreamy. I was a little frustrated with the lack of communication the main couple had, but I understand that it added to the plot. I wish I had time to see more of Audrey and Theo in the conclusion. It just wasn't enough! Need more!
Can't wait to see what else this author has in store for us.

Solid 4.5 star read! Very well written second installment in the Conflicted Series by this author. Theo and Audrey's story continues at a great pace, keeps you invested and interested along with lots of tension, steam and suspense. Definitely recommend if you love romantic suspense! Can't wait for Book 3 to see what this author has in store for us!
