Summary

 *** GAME ON, the final book from the MULTI-MILLION BESTESELLING INTO DARKNESS series is OUT NOW ***

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

devoured it in a day, loved every second. Also loved that Ally and Josh are the perfect friends for junior and Lauren. Can’t wait for the third book already

Loved this. So much. It wasn’t as funny as the first one. However. Nic is very different to Josh. But I loved him just as much. Lauren is a great FMC. Her friends were funny and Walter was so cute. My favourite character had to be nonna. She is the old lady I wana be when I get older. No fucks given. Loved seeing Ally and Josh in this one as well.
Only thing I will say is that I was waiting for…something to happen. Maybe I’m thinking about it too much or I’ve read too many dark mafia romance. But I was waiting for Lauren to get kidnapped or something.
Still, definitely worth it 100%. The spice was soooo good.

Junior is very different.

Not one criticism here. Everything about this book and narration was perfect.

Roll on Tyler & Stella!

Absolute Perfection

This was an amazing journey where trust, honesty, and reliability take center stage. In my opinion, it’s not just about sex work—it’s about the deeper themes woven through the story. It explores human connection, vulnerability, and the importance of loyalty in a raw yet beautifully told way. Absolutely captivating!
