This Time Tomorrow (Phenomenal Fate, #2)
Tessa Bailey
Roksana, heiress to the vampire slayer throne, has performance anxiety. She’s supposed to kill Elias, but so far she’s only succeeded in maxing out his credit card. Now her failure to stake the brooding vampire has sent her back to Moscow in disgrace to face her mother’s wrath. Expecting punishment by death, she’s given a rare reprieve. She now has three tasks to complete, the last of which is to finally kill Elias. She will not fail this time. If only the memories of one magical evening—back when Elias was human, would stop holding her back. He claims to have forgotten that night. Why can’t she? Three years ago, Elias was a SWAT team member on a guy’s weekend in Vegas. Playing poker and minding his own business, his life changed forever when a captivating blonde strolled past his table in a light-up bra. He followed Roksana as if compelled, his very bones demanding he do so, his soul resonating with the belief she would be important to him. Always. That turned out to be a vast understatement—and nothing has changed. Roksana embarks on her mission, determined to win back her mother’s approval, but when an astonishing truth emerges in the eleventh hour, will her stake pierce the very heart that beats in her honor? Or will love triumph over duty?

My Thoughts
OMG this was so good! I absolutely devoured this sequel to Reborn Yesterday. All of the angst and pining I was missing in that book were delivered in spades here. I was living for this romance.
Roksana and Elias had the best chemistry. I could feel their connection from the very first page and was routing for them until the very end. This was the perfect enemies/revenge/sorta friends romance with all the angst that I look for.
I loved the flashbacks sprinkled throughout the book, I thought they added the perfect insight into what lead to the revenge plot without being too info-dumpy. Elias totally won me over - he's definitely my favorite of the vampires so far!
The mutual pining in here was next level. I remember I wanted more steam and tension from the characters in Reborn Yesterday and apparently Tessa Bailey was just hoarding it all for this book because WOAH. This book was filled with so much sexual tension - I thought I was going to explode by the time they finally got together. And is classic Tessa Bailey style the sex scenes were 10/10
Overall I loved this romance and these characters. This ending has me so hyped for the final book. I'm a little nervous about Tucker's book - he's not my favorite character - but I love this world and trust this author!
0Ok so whenever I am in a reading slump, or life slump (lets be honest), someone needs to give me a romance to read! This Time Tomorrow was another 24 hour book binge for this gal. I loved this dark vampy romance and really loved the backstory in this one. It had me so invested. While this is a standalone, I do recommend reading Reborn Again to see the dynamic between Elias and Roksana.
Also, can I just say this book was the perfect kind of spicy! My oh so sweet and charming children ALWAYS seemed to need me when I was knee deep in the hot and heavy scenes. So if you have littles, read this one when they are sleeping or otherwise preoccupied.
