Pandora’s Poison (Hart & Cole Book 2) by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné – Review by Sheri Schrader

Pandora's Poison (Hart & Cole Book 2)Pandora’s Poison by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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 2 by Sacha T.Y Fortune
4 out of 5 Stars
This second book in this series is an amazing continuation of this series. I loved the first book with all of my heart (pun intended) and soul. This book is a dual point of view book. I am not usually a fan of dual POV books, but I feel that this added to this story. You are given the unique opportunity to learn about each character. Their thoughts, passions and hopes, while learning about what they fear, love and dream for.
Darren and Luisa are two characters that you just fall into. They are so easy to love that it this book is effortless. The author has crafted a beautiful story and I have such high hopes for the continuation for book 3.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’m not quite sure how she does it but this second installment in the series is even more captivating than the first! Fortuné continues to surprise and delight, excelling at her writing craft. One hundred percent echo other reviewers – do not even think about reading this book before reading the first. Spellbinding, heartbreaking, masterful – this story and its alternating POV weave a story so dense and deep you will find yourself getting tired from treading water. I simply cannot wait for book three – although I’m not sure my heart is ready for it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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.

Pandora's Poison (Hart & Cole Book 2)Pandora’s Poison by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Pandora’s Poison by Sacha T.Y. Fortune is the second book in the Hart and Cole series. This is a series that really does need to be read in order as the story is a continuation throughout and you would miss far too much detail to start part way through.
This book is as thrilling and complex as the first book. The author takes us further into her characters lives and explores the different facets of marriage. She highlights well the troubles that many people themselves face which is partly why the characters are so relatable. Even if not all of their experience matches yours there is enough that will resonate anyway.
I am definitely looking forward to seeing what book three has to offer!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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!

5+++++++ Stars

**Sigh**

Climbing the Walls was absolutely one of my favorite books of 2018 and this…Part 2 I can promise when 2019 ends Pandora’s Poison will be still one of my favorites for the year and I haven’t even gotten to part 3 yet….

This author has a way with her writing and the word that comes to mind first is hypnotizing, mesmerizing…I don’t know how she does it but every word draws me in and I just can not put it down. My first warning to you is…Do not even try picking this book up without first reading Climbing The Walls…It wont work, you don’t have the whole story and won’t be able to form a complete picture of what Darren and Luisa’s story is all about.

I loved this…I loved getting inside Darren and Luisa’s minds, and I’m so thankful this author gave us that opportunity instead of just getting one of them. Everything felt so so real, it isn’t a storybook it is a real life book where no matter what you have experienced in your life you can actually feel the emotions seeping in, and that is what I’ve come to realize with this author, when I pick her books up I need to be prepared to face reality and feel the emotions because that’s what she gives me.

Im completely invested in these people, all of them and can not even predict what is going to happen in Book 3, I have a feeling there will be a couple more POV’s involved and Im praying that some things Im worried about do not happen…I finish these books a complete mess and having books touch me in that way make for some of my favorites to date…I said this after reading Climbing The Walls and my thoughts haven’t changed…I will have this series sitting on my bookshelf and know that I will be reading them over and over again….

I don’t have to say how much I’m looking forward to reading Pandora’s Price even if the title scares me a bit I will be the first in line to open this book.

Pandora’s Poison (Hart & Cole Series Book #2) by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné – Review by Angela Hayes

Pandora's Poison (Hart & Cole Book 2)Pandora’s Poison by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Pandora’s Poison is the second book in the enthralling Hart & Cole Series by Sacha T.Y Fortune. After reading the first instalment of this wonderful series, and Ms. Fortune’s brilliant debut novel “Climbing the Walls”- I knew I was hooked and there was no way that I wouldn’t be diving into the other books as soon as I could lay my hands on them. I cannot begin to describe the story in a way that will do it the justice is deserves or without giving away spoilers. But, I really recommend going into the series ‘blind’ and letting the author and story blow you away.
From the beautiful covers, to the multidimensional characters, intricate storyline, and brilliant detailing- this book ticks all the boxes. It is such a realistic and relatable woman’s fiction story that takes us on a journey through the inner workings- love, obstacles, insecurities, trust, forgiveness, doubts, pressures, infidelity, passion, and pain- that go into making a relationship/marriage work.
This is the second instalment, so I really recommend reading the first book before beginning on this one, because the story continues from one book to the next, as well as character introductions, pertinent details, and backstory- which are laid out in the first book.
There are intense moments, dramatic details, touching scenes, passionate encounters, believable dialogue, with complex and interesting characters who easily draw you into their story and into the rollercoaster ride that is their relationship/s. It was intriguing, emotive and incredibly well written. Can’t wait for book #3 to find out what happens!

Thank you, Ms. Fortune!

Darren forgave his wife – or tried to – years ago, but surviving the affair… even raising her lover’s child as his own… is an entirely different concept than actually having to deal with the man pushing his way back into their lives to seek his rightful place with the daughter he never knew…

…If that really is all that Gianni wants…

Luisa felt it the moment she finally met the formidable Nicole – the woman who had always crawled under her skin, long before she herself developed a dangerous attraction for a less complicated man than the granite bastard she married.

But, as this beautiful man once told her: there is always a choice…

Told from both points of view, “Pandora’s Poison” explores the forces that tear a marriage apart – infidelity, insecurity, and doubt… and brings to the fore the question faced in one’s darkest hour: Can you trust yourself?

Book 2 ends at Darren’s & Luisa’s turning point, and the rest of their story will be revealed in Book 3 “Pandora’s Price” (coming March 31, 2019).
