 *** PRE-ORDER GAME ON, BOOK 3 IN THE MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLING INTO DARKNESS SERIES ***

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

From the author of TikTok's favourite dark and steamy romance, Lights Out, comes Navessa Allen's second book in the New York Times bestselling Into Darkness trilogy
I want this woman, and I'm a man who always gets what he wants.

Nico 'Junior' Trocci knows Lauren Marchetti is off limits. Men like him don't get to have women like her. It's why he pushed her away in high school and still keeps his distance. But Junior follows Lauren online, and now that the shy, bookish girl he remembers is gone, he can't stop obsessing over the strikingly beautiful woman who has taken her place.

He's ruthless; a walking red flag. Good thing red is my favorite color.

Lauren 'Lo' Marchetti knows Junior is dangerous. He broke her heart once and she won't let him do it again. But as their flirtatious encounters escalate, Lauren starts to remember why she fell for the brooding antihero all those years ago.

As old obstacles resurface, Junior and Lauren are forced to face their true feelings for each other and decide just how far they're willing to go for a second chance at love.

Caught Up is a fast-paced dark romance with a morally grey male lead. Some themes and scenes may be disturbing to readers. Please check the content warning at the beginning of the book.

18+ mature content. Not suitable for younger readers.

Editorial Review

He’s a mobster. She’s his obsession
I didn’t think I’d fall this hard for Nic and Lo, but Caught Up pulled me in fast and didn’t let go. The story follows Lauren, a cam girl who’s built her life on her own terms, and Nico, the mobster who never really let her go even after betraying her years ago. What starts as an unwelcome reunion slowly unravels into something darker, deeper, and unexpectedly tender. The performances by Kasi Hollowell, Jason June, and Teddy Hamilton were SO steamy, making it impossible to stop listening. I wasn’t ready for how much I’d care about these characters. —Patty R., Audible Editor

Critic reviews

Everything a dark romance reader wants - a masked man, epic spice, hilarious banter, and a clingy cat named Fred
Lights Out is a sexy, laugh-out-loud read perfect for those of us with morbid sensibilities. Aly and Josh are just the right amount of unhinged to keep you turning the page. A five-star read
Funny and filthy . . . the dark rom-com of BookTok's dreams
Twisted, sexy, and fun, it's the perfect read for those looking to dip their toes into the darker side of romance

It wasn’t as good as the first book. I waited ages for it and was a bit let down. Story line wasn’t as good and honestly thought it would carry on with ally and Josh. Still a good read though.

A biker mobster who stalks her voiced by Teddy Hamilton? Yes please!!
But junior was so much more than that, he was caring, protective, accepting her for who she is and had communication skills. I love a man who knows how to appologize!
The ‘it has always been you’ always does it for me and Junior had it bad. I loved his friendship with Josh and hoe he and Aly popped up in the book.
Lauren was a strong woman who wasn’t affraid to be herself and didn’t care what other people said about her. Her roommates were hilarious but I especially loved her Nonna! It was clear were Lauren got her aditude from.

As the title says, Ireally enjoyed this. I love Junior. The spice was good, but not as good as the first books Lights Out. I can't wait for the third book!
