Following on the heels of Illusion, indie sensation and New York Times bestselling author J.S. Cooper brings us the second novel in the Swept Away series, a trilogy of dark and sexy romances about a woman marooned on a desert island with a sexy stranger—but is he friend or foe?

When Bianca and Jakob awake on a sandy shore in the middle of nowhere, their first thoughts are of survival. But as they explore their surroundings and try to discover who stranded them on the island, they can’t deny the electricity surging between them. Soon it’s more than just a campfire keeping them warm…

But just as Bianca is starting to trust Jakob, she uncovers a clue to their abduction—and he may know more than he’s letting on. Was Jakob just as surprised as she to find himself alone with her…or could the man she’s fallen for be her captor?

    'Disillusioned'(Swept Away Book 2) by J.S. Cooper is a great read. This book picks up the story where 'Illusion' left off. I loved getting to read more about Bianca and Jakob. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was going to happen next. Wow! I didn't see that ending coming! I can not wait to see where the story goes next in book 3 'Resolution'. Highly recommend this series to all fans of romantic suspense.

    This series just keeps getting better and better. There are more twists and turns in this story that keep you wrapped up in intrigue. The secrets that surround David, Jakob and Rosie leave Bianca guessing. Jakob, for his part, is questioning whether to find the answers he seeks or give into his desires to protect Bianca. JS Cooper's writing is thrilling, to say the least. Her storytelling has always captured the reader, but this series is brilliant. This book has it all: sass, humor, mystery, angst and romance. If you're looking for something that will keep you glued to the pages, this is a defiant must read.
  • Yes I loved it.

    Great balls of fire! I love it! Disillusioned is the second book in the Swept Away Series by J.S. Cooper and it totally blew my mind!!! Cooper has outdone herself again and delivered an explosive and masterful continuation of her Swept Away Series. She continues to tantalize, tease and dazzle us with her exceptional talent, amazing skill, incredible imagination and unique style. In the first book of the Swept Away series, she laid the groundwork for an intricate web of romance, mystery and suspense with an assortment of characters that are fascinating and intriguing. They come to life and jump off the page. This story captures and holds you from beginning to end. I was totally enthralled! Now, she continues this intriguing story with Book 2, Disillusioned. It is exciting, dark, powerful, suspenseful, mysterious, compelling, thrilling, witty, riveting, enticing, arousing, romantic, and sensual. The dialogue is smart, snappy, sassy, well written, at times humorous and flows effortlessly. The characters are interesting, fascinating, captivating, intriguing, engaging and sexy as sin. A wonderfully written dark tale of danger, murder, deception, betrayal, suspense, kidnapping, romance and dare I say, possibly redemption? Bianca London suddenly finds herself kidnapped, tied up, in the dark, in the trunk of a moving car with an unknown man. What the heck? This was bad-very very bad! Surely it couldn't get much worse! Wrong! It does get worse, much worse when she awakens on an unknown beach of a deserted island with the same sexy man. Except, he isn't actually a stranger. Bianca did meet him once, very briefly, in a coffee shop. But she doesn't even know his name - until now. Steve has disappeared and Jakob and Biana have finally been rescued from the island and are now in a hotel – together. She finally knows he is Jakob Bradley – or is he? She overhears Jakob on the phone and discovers that he not only knew Steve, but also the kidnappers. What? She now knows Jakob, the man she trusted to protect her, gave her body to and even allowed him to make love to her, has been lying from the beginning. She has given herself to him, mind, body and heart and put her trust in him – and he has betrayed her! Oh my glory! Bianca has to decide if the handsome Jakob Bradley is friend or foe but she must remember her Father’s words - “Friends can be foes and foes can be friends”. Who's a girl to trust? Will Bianca ever be able to discover the truth and unravel the mystery of her mother’s death? And who is sending her all those darn cryptic letters? I don’t believe in giving spoilers but I will say this – Beautiful naïve history major-check! Mysterious, handsome, alpha man-check! Cast of suspicious characters-check! Danger, suspense, betrayal, unknown enemies and surprising plot twists at every twist and turn-check! Romance, angst and sex-you betcha! Oh my! It kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end! I couldn't turn the pages fast enough! I can hardly wait for Resolution, Book 3 of the Swept Away Series! Kudos, Ms. Cooper! You have delivered another winner! Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!
  • Mysteriously Captivating A Must Read!

    *** ARC PROVIDED BY AUTHOR FOR AN HONEST REVIEW*** After reading Illusion the first book in this series I was mesmerized by the mystery surrounding each and every character I couldn't wait to figure them out and mainly try to figure out what else Bianca needed to investigate. It consumed my every thought each and every way Bianca turned there was another lie to be discovered. In this second book things begin to unravel and truths are starting to come out, Bianca together with Jakob begin to form a partnership to arrive at the truth but I couldn't believe the lies, deceit and betrayal surrounding her. She couldn't trust anyone there was literally no one she could turn to she couldn't make up her mind to trust the one person who she truly wanted to let in Jakob. She questioned every action and his words began to confuse her she couldn't figure out why her mind was still telling her to not trust anyone. I was literally crushed by the truths that Bianca unraveled it broke my heart to not be able to comprehend what was really taking place and who she should really trust. This cliffhanger will haunt me I need to know what is going to happen who is to blame? Still so many unanswered questions to this enchanting mysterious story but I know the wait will be worth all this heartbreak and the suspense will hold me until then. I absolutely LOVED this second book can't wait to continue reading!!!
  • Mystery and Romance at it's best!!

    JS Cooper is amazing at writing mystery romance. Disillusioned is yet another book that had me reading from start to finish in one sitting. No one is who they seem. Lots of betrayal, lies and deceit had me constantly trying to figure things out. Jakob and Bianca have made it off the island and again things just aren't as they seem. Jakob has given Bianca time and space for her to try and figure out who murdered her mother. This is book two in the series, I highly recommend your read Illusion and the novella between 1 and 2.. Charade. These really help with you getting the back story on the main charavpcters in these books. I am so excited for book 3 and definitely recommend all 3 of these books. You will not be disappointed.

    When is the truth! Bianca is thrown from lie to lie. What is the truth? Where does the truth lie? Bianca is drawn to Jakob but can she? Is David friend for foe? Where is Steve or Larry for that matter? Why did her father put Bianca on this path? Why would he endanger his daughter this way? Resolution can’t come soon enough for me! Love this suspenseful series and can’t wait for Book 3 Resolution

    I need Xanax now and I have never had anxiety!!!! Disillusioned is going to keep you on edge. It's a roller coaster ride and if you're ready for the adrenaline rush step on but be warned, you will be changed forever. Masterfully written with a gripping and intense plot..Storyline never loses momentum. J.S. Cooper's writing is intense, mysterious, evocative and sensual. This story will leave you craving for more. When you think you have nailed the mystery it takes an unexpected turn. Who do you trust? Who is behind it all? Who is Jakob? I am not going to mention any character names, but I knew that bloody witch was evil and had a motive since the first book. Journey through all the wretched trials, doubt, insecurities and betrayals. Elaborate diversification between the main and secondary characters. A suspenseful romance that takes you into a different world. You have outdone yourself once again J.S. Cooper. The Swept Away Series are cliff-hangers. *A review copy of this book was provided by the publisher*
  • Great Characters! Great Book!

    This book had me in suspense from the beginning to the end! I am now counting the days until the next one in the series, Resolution comes out this summer. I can't decide if I love Jackob or hate him. The twists and turns really keep you guessing from the beginning to the end. Bianca is a strong female lead with decisions to make and questions to answer. If you love a mystery with a love story intertwined then this book is definitely for you. I can't get enough of J.S. Cooper!
  • WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!
