‘Last night I learned something new. Fools don’t have to suffer alone. Antonio was right. Sharing what's inside, with the right person, makes you stronger, not weaker.
I also learned that while Lexie is soft, pliable, and loving,she’s also tough and strong, and fearless- and so many other things.’

Wrath/Pride is part of Eva’s Porto world. If you read Daniela and Antonio’s Trilogy, you will be familiar with the characters in this book. Although you can read this Duet independently, reading the books in order will provide more information and background. As Pride was Wrath is a long detailed read. Eva does not shy away from triggering topics. However, she handles them with care. This book… Rafael had some groveling and compromising to do. Lexie held her ground as long as she could stand the smexy Rafael was throwing down. Watching their relationship grow, Lexie come into her own, Rafael get closure, and a glimpse into their future made my week.

We were left wondering what happened to the plane Lexie was on as Pride ended. Rafael has to swallow his pride and work with Lexie’s father, which works to Will’s advantage too. His operation has been infiltrated leaving Lexie in danger as collateral damage.

Once again under his protection, but this time Lexie decides to come clean on her project. Feeling nothing is left to lose considering the way he made his feelings clear just before she left Porto. With Rafael’s clout in the European world he could possibly help.

Rafael brings Tamar into their discussion.

Rafael wants a chance for their relationship to thrive, but Lexie just cannot let her heart take another hit.

He of course refuses to accept her answer.

In the midst of all the other chaos happening, Rafael and Valentina still have the global launch that will make or break Premier as a modern, cutting-edge port house.

Through this book we get more glimpses into Valentina and Marco’s marriage. Which has become a bone of contention.

Lexie is powerless but to let Rafael in. The hold they have on one another is too strong.

Just as they are settling in with the trafficking ring taken care of and moving forward with future plans, putting their running shoes to rest, life comes at them all once again.
