Laura’s Review of Gold (All That Glitters, #2) By K.A. Linde

Synopsis

The prey becomes the predator.

Love. That cursed four-letter word no longer belongs in Bryna’s vocabulary. The only four-letter word she knows now is gold.

…and fuck.

She’s well acquainted with that one. And that’s exactly what she plans to do. She’s no longer the golden girl, and when she meets a businessman who promises everything she could ever want from the arrangement, she intends to get her money’s worth.

Follow the conclusion to Bryna’s gold digging story in this scandalizing, duplicitous second book to the USA Today bestselling author K.A. Linde’s All That Glitters series. 

What I Loved

          I think the better question is what didn’t I love!?!?! This was what I was waiting for in Bryna’s story. Of course it was a long windy road but it just made the ending all the more sweet.  The story had all the elements I love when I’m reading, it had; drama, love, sex, happiness, sadness, hate, anger and so much more! 

          We meet Bryna in her freshman year of college, with one goal in mind (other than cheer and football of course) and that’s gold digging.  Bryna has once again established herself as Queen Bitch and she plays the role of head bitch very well through most of the book.  Bryna is the very epitome of high fashion and Hollywood young adult glamor.  She’s the girl every college girl wants to be, and every hot guy wants to bang.  Bryna went on a pretty wild ride in this story, and I enjoyed every second of it. I’m not going to give too much away but I will say I think any reader will walk away being completely in love with Bryna like I did.

Not So Much

          

          My only real complaint would be that I wish there was just a tad more detail as far as the backgrounds go.  I don’t really know what Bryna’s condo looked like, or what finishing touches she might’ve added to her bedroom or just the condo in general. The same can be said for Eric’s house and also where LV State is located in relation to what people know of Las Vegas.  It was hard to gage where campus was to the strip or Bryna’s condo.  I assume they were all close to each other but I know very little about Vegas outside of the touristy places so it’s hard to imagine where these outer locations are.  Other than that I loved this book!

To Sum It All Up!

        When it comes to Bryna this is the story I have been waiting for! There was such great character development, which was built off a solid foundation from the first book.  I love that we also get to know the supporting characters as well because it makes me more excited to get to Trihn’s and Stacia’s story.  There was just so many emotions I went through while reading and I absolutely love my heart being put through the ringer.  I was immediately engrossed in this story and couldn’t put it down.  K.A. Linde has once again created another amazing series and I know it will just get better and better!
