Saved By A Billionaire 2 is a solid book with serious dark themes. I wasn't expecting this urban fiction novel to be dark romance, but here we are. The MMC, Amos Duke, is still strong, sensitive, and protective - everything you expect in an urban fiction's MMC. His character changes significantly from Stolen By A Billionaire and Saved By A Billionaire 1 - the result of love, I suppose.
For me, however, it became harder and harder to picture him as a hardened assassin as the book went one.


The story takes a really dark turn
as the FMC reveals that she's an addict, relapses, and then enters rehab
. It switches in some ways from dark urban romance to dark urban fiction with a women's fiction twist. Though it was unexpected, the story itself was well written with strong character development. 

The FMC and the MMC go through a lot to get to the HFN ending and as a reader, there's nothing in the book that reveals that this will happen and I valued that in Miss J.'s writing. 

I recommend the entire Duke Family Series from Miss J. Make sure you're in a healthy mental space for the books, however, as they can be really triggering. However, they're well written and engaging from start to finish.
I hope there's an additional story about the potential double wedding for Urvi/Val and Ananias and Christina and Amos.
I look forward to reading future books written by Miss J.
