This is the third novel of the story and it is highly recommend you read them in order it won’t feel complete or have the proper build up if you don’t. I absolutely love love love this series it’s not all hearts and flowers it’s real and gritty which is what i enjoyed it makes the storyline so captivating and i just couldn’t tear myself away from this story until i reached the end but I’m still left wanting more from this author!

Y. Fortuné – Review by Stacey Baxter
Pandora’s Price by Sacha T. Y. Fortune is the third book in the Hart & Cole series. I can’t recommend enough that before reading this book to read the first two books in the series. This is the continuation of Darren and Luisa’s story. This is not a sappy, cute romance but a visceral, emotional read. I have enjoyed this book immensely as I had the previous books. I was able to read this quickly but was so sad when I reached the end. The characters are amazing and I could relate to bits and pieces of the characters. I do not want to say too much because I know I would give away parts of the story. I am glad I spent my time with this book and look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

Y. Fortuné – Review by Sheri Schrader
Pandora’s Price (Hart & Cole Book 3) by Sacha T. Y Fortune. This is a great series and all of the books play on so many emotions but Pandora’s Price is probably the best in the series. Everything comes out the cheating, lies, secrets, wants, needs the desires. The characters are at their best yet and the storyline pulls you in instantly.

Y Fortune – Review by Krystal Gaston
Pandora’s Price by Sacha T.Y. Fortuné My rating 5 out of 5 stars
I don’t know how much more of this I can take. Sacha is killing me with these books. They are so detailed and and drawn out, I can’t put the book down! Every character is so well thought out and planned, all aspects of the story flow together so nicely.
From reading the first 2 books I wanted to hate Luisa. I don’t like the whole cheating on Darren thing, but this book has given me a new perspective on her and I have come to love her. I definitely now officially hate Nicole. The first book had me wanting more of Nicole and Kris but then my loyalties switched to Luisa and Darren.
Poor Luisa is crushed knowing her husband of twelve years is in love with another woman. I can completely understand why she does what she does with Gianni, I would be miserable and lost too if my husband couldn’t stop talking about his co worker. I do think they did try to reconcile their marriage, but it there was too much dishonesty and a big communication issue.
Luisa meeting and befriending Victoria is a great moment, I was hoping she would have a great girlfriend soon, but I do feel Vicki may have contributed to some of the outbursts and problems in not only Luisa and Darren’s relationship, but also Kris and Nicole’s as well. My eyes about bugged out of my head when all of the drama unfolded at Darren’s launch party, my hate for Nicole deepened when she says the most heinous and evil things to Luisa, as well as trying to seduce Darren. It was like this character did a complete 180 and was not the woman we meet in the first book. I feel sorry for Kris having to deal with her, but if that’s what he loves then more power to him.
The ending was nice and I won’t say why, as I think everyone should read until the end. I wouldn’t recommend any of these books as a standalone because there is so much to learn from each character starting with book 1. I really can’t wait to see what is in store for book four.
This is the third book in the Hart & Cole Series and honestly I think this author can do no wrong. With every book I read by her I end up having a new favorite. The main characters in the book are Darren and Luisa. They are married but that doesn’t mean they have all the happiness and easyness that every marry should couple have. Oh no no no…. There is betrayal, resentment, distrust but there is also love. They have a lot of work to do if they want to work things out. The secondary characters are Fantastic and It wouldn’t be right if I didn’t at least mention them and how awesome they are. I was pulled into this story from page one and I didn’t want it to end. I highly recommend reading this series in order!! I cannot wait to read more by this author and I would recommend this to a friend.

Pandora’s Price by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné Is book 3 in the Hart and Cole series. While I loved the other two books. I have to say this was my favorite of the three. Although a continuation of the characters in book 2. This book developed the characters and their relationship even more. A rollercoaster of emotions doesnt even begin to describe this book. The heartbreaking real life love kept me on the edge of the seat the entire book. I love this author and cant wait to see what comes next. I give this book 5 stars without hesitation!!! A must read!!

Y. Fortuné – Review by Amanda Pierce
Pandora’s Price by Sacha Y. Fortune is the third book in the Hart and Cole series. You do need to read this series in order as each one builds on the story the author has created and reading them out of order would diminish your understanding and enjoyment of them. This book is just as good and intriguing as the other ones have been. I found myself turning the pages quick as I had to find out what would happen. I connected with the characters easily and really became invested in their story. This is a very well written and complex book and one I would definitely recommend.

Y. Fortuné – Review by Kerry Baker
Pandora’s Poison (Hart & Cole Book 2) By Sacha T.Y. Fortune 5 Stars
Pandora’s Poison by Sacha T.Y. Fortune is the second installment of the Hart & Cole Series. It is a contemporary romance story about Darren and Luisa. Their tumultuous marriage is full of mistrust, jealousy and infidelity. Sacha has written a real-to-life situation that will take you into a journey through this couple’s life and how they cope and interact with the obstacles that are thrown their way. The story is written in an alternating POV which gives you the raw emotion each person is feeling after every scene. This story took me through a roller coaster of feelings and emotions. I also sympathized and related with the characters as a person that dealt with infidelity in her past marriage. There are moments in the story that are so raw that I felt that the story was written about my past marriage. What will happen between Darren and Luisa? I guess I will have to wait until book 3. I highly recommend this book and series, which should be read in order so you can get the back story on the characters. Can’t wait to see what book 3 has in store for Darren and Luisa.
Pandora’s Poison is the 2nd book in the Hart and Cole series by Sacha T Y Fortune. I really loved the first book Climbing The Walls, but this was even better. I would not recommend reading this if you have not read the first book. Pandora’s Poison centres around Darren and Luisa Hart who we are introduced to in the first book, although Kris and Nicole still play a role in this 2nd book. Darren and Luisa are having marriage troubles and are fighting to save their marriage. Most of their troubles are centred around 2 main areas, Darren’s working relationship with Nicole and also Luisa’s affair with Gianni 4 years previously. Without giving anything away, I’ll say that Gianni’s return causes much angst for both Darren and Luisa. This book is far from your heart-warming love story. It’s a totally warts and all look at marriage and all the things that put strain on a marriage such as infidelity. As much as I’m a sucker for a heart-warming romance, I loved this dark look at marriage, showing just how hard marriage can be in real life. Having loved the first two books in this series, I can’t wait for the 3rd book to come out to see what Sacha T Y Fortune has in store for us next.

Pandora’s Poison by Sacha Fortuné Hart & Cole Book 2 My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
WOW! She did it again!! Sacha is killing me with these books! I loved the second book in this series just as much, if not more than the first book. Again it was a rough start for me but as I kept going the story got more and more intense! I would definitely recommend reading the first book before tackling this one, as it gives insight to the characters in the second book.
In this story we get to see Darren and Luisa’s lives, and how the events in the first book are affecting them as a family and married couple. I love that the story is told in both point of views, this way I can get a feeling for both characters and how they are feeling and what they are thinking.
Luisa makes me so mad. She is irritating and not in control of her feelings. Do you love your husband of 12 years enough to fight for your marriage and try to overcome all the obstacles you have faced together? Would you rather sneak around with the man you had an affair with 4 years ago and ruin any chance at keeping your family together? She goes on and on about how she loves her husband and then when he sticks around even through her infidelity, because he does love her and want to keep his marriage together not only for him but the kids as well, but she continually throws Nicole in his face and then still tries to hide her relationship with Gianni. She doesn’t hide her relationship so much as the relationship is now out in the open, but she keeps their conversations private and to me that is still terrible because of Gianni’s feelings for her.
Darren is not innocent in all of this, but he is still pretty bad off. From the first book we know he is in love with Nicole even though he won’t admit it to himself. It does irritate me that he continually thinks about her and has the nerve to complain about Luisa’s actions. I hated how he kept saying Nicole was the one who ruined his marriage when really it was his own fault as well as Luisa’s and they dragged Nicole and Chris into their mess. In the end Darren gives Gianni a proposition and I am overly excited to see how it all plays out.
Overall this series has been a completely fantastic read. The length of the books kind of threw me off at first but, I promise reading this series all the way through will be totally worth it. I finished this book in 2 days and was devastated when it ended. I will be eagerly awaiting the 3rd book.
Pandora’s Poison (Hart & Cole Book 2) Sacha T.Y. Fortune 5 out of 5 stars
Pandora’s Poison is the page turning, second book in the Hart and Cole series. I really enjoyed the second installment in this series, even more than Climbing the Walls. I would recommend reading these books in order to get a full picture of the storyline and to get to know the characters in depth. This series has done an excellent job drawing me in and showing the complexities of adult relationships. Without ruining the story at all it’s difficult to write a review that does this story justice. The characters are raw and real and the story has so much emotion behind it. I’m truly looking forward to reading on in the series. Pandora’s Poison is definitely a 5 star read and the Hart & Cole series is definitely something you won’t want to miss out on.
Pandora’s Poison, Hart and Cole Book 2, by Sacha T. Y. Fortune
5-Stars
Pandora’s Poison is an amazing addition to the Hart and Cole series. It can be read as a standalone but I do recommend reading the first book to have background on several supporting characters. I loved Darren, Luisa, and Gianni. They were all very interesting and had great personalities. The storyline was easy to follow and I literally could not put this novel down. I also had a hard time picking a favorite between Darren and Luisa. They were both amazing in their own way and dedicated to their family even if one had not spent as much time with the kids before. Luisa really is a supermom and I loved reading all the things she has balanced to take care of her family and hide her little secret. Sacha Fortúne has done a magnificent job with this book and I can’t wait to read more in this series.

Y. Fortúne – Review by Madison Degraffenreid
5 Star Pandora’s Poison (Hart and Cole Book 2) by Sacha T.Y.Fortune’ is the second book in her Hart and Cole Series. This is a continuation of the first book so I recommend reading it first if you haven’t already. In this book we get to Darren and Luisa’s story. This story is about these two and the struggles with their marriage and everything else life is throwing at them, choices and trust. I felt like I was on an emotional rollercoaster ride at times. I had a hard time putting this down once I started reading, I had to know what happens next. With everything that has happened, can they trust again? This is an amazingly written story, a must read! I absolutely can’t wait for the next book in this series.

Y Fortune – Review by Dawn Daughenbaugh
Pandora’s Poison is book two in the Hart and Cole series by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné. This story is just as titillating as book one, where readers first met Darren and Luisa. The extremely high quality that this author creates continues with their story.
Pandora’s Poison is a story of a crumbling marriage, volatile emotions, bitterness and secrets that could destroy. A highly emotional tale that grips you in its extreme intensity. It will shock you. It will anger you. It will intrigue. Finding out what made these characters tick and made them make these life altering decisions became an obsession for me. Sometimes I could not believe what I was reading, and my heart went out to all the innocents in this tale. My heart went out to Darren and Luisa. Where and how did it all go wrong? Stunning to read. Unbearable to put down. Impossible not to love.
Sacha T. Y. Fortuné is an author that will have you hanging off every word and desperate to turn to the next page. A story that you cannot help reading in one go, with elements that will upset, excite and astound. A brilliant tale of infidelity, jealousy, forgiveness and more. The complexities of maintaining a lasting relationship written with such clarity, warts and all I thoroughly recommend. 5 stars.

Pandora’s Poison (Hart & Cole book 2) by Sacha T.Y. Fortuné 5 stars
This is the second book in this series and Climbing the Walls, book 1, is a must read before diving into this book. You will need that story to completely understand this book.
I thought I couldn’t feel any more deeply than I did with book 1 but this one proved me wrong. Darren and Lisa, where do I start. These two were spinning me in circles and im still a little lost. I wanted to see the other children more than i did but otherwise this was a page turner, i had to know what came next and then it was over and I’m desperate to dive into book 3 to see where this goes!
PANDORA’S POISON is book 2 in the Hart & Cole Series and I strongly recommend reading the first before diving into this story. I don’t recommend this as a stand-alone. I went into this series blind, based on the cover image alone and it has not been what I thought it would be.
This is such a complex story. It is multi-dimensional and complex, just like life, and as we see both sides of the story (it’s told in dual pov) it gave me insight as to what made them tick and be who they are.
This is not a light and fluffy series. It’s detailed and dark as well as refreshing that it’s not the same old “meet-cute, first kiss, HEA” kind of story. This series doesn’t necessarily follow a formula which makes it interesting. I wasn’t sure what to expect and I’m glad I didn’t have any preconceived notions.
I recommend this story, this series and this author.

This is the second novel of the series and i recommend reading the books in order to get a better understanding. Such a gripping, nail biting story, the author really shows you how hard an relationship can be the good the bad amd the ugly that’s for sure. I mean there was times i wanted to bump the character’s heads together but unfortunately it isn’t that simple. I got completely lost while reading this novel got took on one amazing, edge of your seat amazing.

Y. Fortuné – Review By Stacey Baxter
Pandora’s Poison is book two in Hart and Cole series by Sacha Fortune. This series is amazing and is a must read. I was so excited to read the book and was not disappointed. Book 2 you get to learn more about Darren and Luisa. I was really surprised how much I ended up liking Darren. His Charter is really great. Him and his wife Luisa are having a ruff relationship with some issues and he is being wonderful and trying to work things out although he’s far from perfect I feel Luisa is lucky to have him. Luisa has been a stay at home mom for a few years and Darren is a workaholic so she was taking care of 3 kids on her own and dealing with some issues herself and not having her husband around played a big role in the way things played. This amazing series will keep you engrossed and you wont be able to stop reading!! I can not wait to read book 3!!!! So many amazing people in her books I don’t want this Series to end she could write 12 books in this series and no one would be tired of reading about them. The only issue with Pandora’s Poison ending is having to wait for book 3 to come out 🙂

Pandora’s Poison by Sacha T.Y. Fortune a five-star read that will turn you. This is the second novel in the Hart and Cole series, and I would advise you read them in order to get the most of the story as they do follow on, and understand there is a number three coming and I know I will be eagerly anticipating it as I know its going to be a great story like this one. This is a compelling series and very gritty and shows us the true side of love and relationships the darker side that most novels won’t cover. Darren and Luisa are characters that you will get so deep with that you hear them tell their story, you don’t just read something on the page. Be warned you may not always like their story, but you will be gripped it and you will love this novel.

Climbing the Walls book 1 Hart & Cole Series Sacha T.Y. Fortune 5 out of 5 stars Climbing the Walls is a bit longer than books I’ve been reading as of late but it was well worth my time. I was drawn to this book, and new to me author because the premise of the story seemed realistic but different than most books I read. Honestly, Sacha T. Y Fortune did not disappoint. Climbing the Walls kept my attention from beginning to end with characters that truly highlighted the complexities of marriage. The plot flowed well with twists and turns that took me on a rollercoaster of emotion. I’m really looking forward to reading on in the Hart & Cole series.

Fortune – Review By Felicia Bates
Climbing The Walls is the first book in the Hart & Cole series and it is also my first book by this author. It is really well written and i love the authors writing style. The story is told from duel POV’s and i think that makes the book that much more appealing because you get to see two sides of the same story. Nicole is a hardworking mother of two and is married to a man that she loves dearly. She is a HUGE workaholic and her boss is constantly pulling her away from her home life. She wants to be a good wife and mother, but with her schedule she is always away and that is causing problems in her marriage. When her boss wants a shoulder to cry on she sees how fragile her marriage really is. Kris whole-heartedly loves his wife and he adores his children, but with Nicole gone all of the time it has put a strain on their marriage and the people around him are making him question the marriage and if it is stronger than the problems they’re going through. Man oh man oh man, what an awesome story. And that freakin’ twist!!! I did not see that coming! I enjoyed this book and i am looking forward to reading more of this series and also more of this author. I would recommend this book to a friend. Happy Reading!

Climbing The Walls (Hart & Cole Book 1) by Sacha T.Y. Fortune’ had me hooked from the first page, I read almost the whole book in one sitting. The characters were so much fun to follow and get to know. The book was very well written, and kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. I enjoyed the way the author jumped between characters it kept it me on my toes. This is a new author for me and I absolutely fell in love with the writing and characters. I cannot wait to read the next book in this series, or anything else by this author. If I could give this book more than 5 stars, I would. Great Great Read!
Pandora’s Poison is an amazing continuation to Hart & Cole series. Sacha T. Y. Fortune does a wonderful job jumping right into the next phase of Darren and Luisa’s story. I would HIGHLY recommend reading book one so you can enjoy this story even more. There is a roller coaster ride of emotions. That is the appeal of this book to me as well. I want to keep in touch with Darren and Luisa’s story and what is in store for the next chapter.

Pandora’s Poison by Sacha T.Y Fortune is the second book in the Hart & Cole Series. I recommend that the first book is read first. This is a continuation of the first book. The characters are well written. The story has a bit of everything and felt like a roller coaster of emotion. The story is compelling and had me wondering where the story would go. I liked that the story was told from a dual point of view. I felt that this added to the story because it allows the reader to see the story from both sides. I look forward to reading the third book to see how everything works out in the end. Review by @sherimichelle1

Y. Fortuné – Review by Sheri Schrader
Climbing the walls by Sacha T.Y Fortune is my first book I’ve read by this author. Climbing the wall is a Absolutely stunning read and is Book 1 in the Hart and Cole Series. Let me start off by saying I love the way this book is written. You get to know what Kris and Nicole are feeling it’s written from both sides so you get to know them both really well and get to understand who was thinking what. Nicole is a workaholic wife and mother who has a high demand job and Kris is more hands on with the kids and being home. Kris and Nicole are trying to balance Work, Love, Kids and everything life throws at them. Climbing the walls is a long book to read it is not one you can read in a short time but the way its written keeps you absorbed and wanting more you will not be disappointed. I can not wait to read book two and see what’s next.

I give Pandora’s Poison (Hart & Cole Book 2) by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné, 4 stars. *Spoilers from book one are contained in this review*
Darren Hart is a self-made rich and powerful man. He loves his job. And he loves his wife, even if he doesn’t show it anymore. Even after her affair and the child by another man, he has stayed by her. Their relationship has not been good in a long time, but he doesn’t want her to go. He is a man who gets what he wants, and he wants his wife and children.
Luisa has had enough. That horrible night was the last straw. She cannot do it anymore. But she is told that her chance of custody in a divorce is very slim. She has been a stay-at-home mother to a rich and powerful man for too long. So she has to bite the bullet and go back home. She can go back to work and make her chances better. But he says he wants to make it work. Does he really? His snide comments tell her otherwise, but this is the almighty Darren Hart. And what does she really want? What about the child’s father? Now that he knows, he wants to see his child. But is that all he wants?
This was a very complex book. I will be honest, I liked this one better than the first book. The complexity of these people were so intriguing. We met Darren in book one, but did not see too much of Luisa. In that book, she was just the wife who cheated and became pregnant with her lover’s child. Darren was the “victim”. In this book you learn just what brought her to it, and the guilt she has lived with ever since.
This is a book about the darker side of relationships. Everything is not always sunshine and roses. In my opinion, it can be read as a stand alone, but you would probably see things better reading book one first. If you don’t mind your stories a bitter darker, this book is for you.
Pandora’s Poison: Hart and Cole book two by Sacha T.Y. Fortune. If you haven’t read book one Climbing The Walls do it, it’s the beginning of this great series centered on Darren and Luisa. Pandora’s Poison is a great follow up to Climbing the Walls, as everything gets more complicated and all the lies and omissions come out will anyone survive it unscathed. Louisa is lying so much it hard to keep up, Darren doesn’t know what to believe but he knows what he has to do to get the answers. Gianni is more involved in this story along with Kris. There is a lot going on with Pandora’s Poison but it makes the story so good. I can’t wait to read Pandora’s Price.
I love this book! I highly recommend reading the previous book before this one to help enhance your enjoyment of this series. I love that we get to see characters from the previous book too. We get to see Darren and Luisa’s story. Their story is of a couple that struggle with their marriage and what life throws at them, choices and trust. I loved their characters and what they brought to this story even if they made me mad in parts. I can’t wait for book three! Must read book!

Y. Fortuné – Review by Bobbi Wagner
Climbing The Walls by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné is the first book in the Hart & Cole series. The story is told in alternating point of views to tell the story of Kris and Nicole. Nicole is a hardworking married mother. She is stubborn and has a bit of a streak. She struggles with how to make all her parts of her life work together while keeping her head straight. This is an interesting read concerning the highs and lows of marriage. I like the struggles and the emotion that is used in the book. The realism is what helps make the story so good. I overall liked the characters but sometimes wondered about Nicole. She tended to get on my nerves at points. This was good at times because it made her more human. Review by @sherimichelle1

Y. Fortune – Review by Sheri Schrader
Climbing The Walls by Sacha T. Y. Fortune is the first book in the Hart and Cole series. This book really delves into the complexities that is married life. It highlights that, no matter how much we might want to, sometimes we just can be perfect at everything. Sometimes we need to accept the way things actually are. This book has introduced me to an entirely new author and what a way to be introduced it was. This book had everything. It had passion and romance as well as angst and nail biting moments. It is a detailed and interesting book. The author never lets the story rest for too long before she is moving it on and developing the characters. I enjoyed how I didn’t always like one of the main characters as well. For me that is exactly how it can be in “real life” and it was great to see that reflected well in a book. It really helped me to connect with them. This was a fantastic way to discover a new author and I am looking forward to the rest of this series.
