I love how the author didn’t waste any time on the plot and we just jump right in from page one. I was genuienly happy that we didn’t get too much of their past and got just enough to learn about who they were indivitually and to each other and it made the book all the more sweeter.
I’m not sure who is having more fun: Cami or us. By the time we make it inside the grocery store, Cami’s face is red from laughing so hard and Lana is beaming. Damn. I did that.
This book, compared to the other two was real. No lie, I loved declans book too but the struggles and milestones here for both the hero and heroine were better written and described in my opinion. I sympathised with them and felt angry for them. Cal, Lana and Cami were such beautifully written characters. I LOVED LOVED LOVED how lana never hid how she felt about Cal or keep her emotions behind the curtains. She didn’t pretend or go along with any bullshit from anyone and reprimanded anyone who did her wrong and that was a green flag in my book.
She peeks up at me. “Do you not want kids?” “Of course I do.” Spending time around Cami made me realize just how fun children can be. “Are you sure? You’re going to have to invest in a lot more swear jars.” A smile tugs at her lips. “I better stock up on some hundreds then.”
The smut. Wowowowowowow. Like, gold star for lauren asher because she gave us some good fucking food.
“Stay there and look pretty for me.” I repeat the words. My body temperature spikes, along with my heart rate. He reaches out to cup my cheek with one hand while pumping his cock with the other. “There truly is nothing prettier than watching you on your knees.”
All in all, this book was by far the saving grace of this month for me and ngl, if it was a few pages shorter, I would’ve given it 5 stars without a shadow of a doubt. But I skipped too many pages to have the right to make that decision....more
Why is the hate around this book centred around Nicole and not Daniel? The man deserves to be bitch slapped ifso here our quirky heroine loves peaches
Why is the hate around this book centred around Nicole and not Daniel? The man deserves to be bitch slapped if you ask me✋ and I couldn’t. For the life of me. Believe he was British. Throwing in an occasional arsehole didn’t make a difference for me.
Throughout this book, it was made abundantly clear to me that Daniel loved his inner thoughts above Nicole. She was always a second choice at every turn.
“I make triple digits from the attorney job alone. I work with mega international corporations and a sovereign family in Europe, not to mention I have more money than ten generations would be able to spend, even if they flew first class to Mars. Oh, and I have a model’s face and body that photographers won’t stop moaning about. I’m the best choice you have.”
^^^ his reasons for why he’s suitable for Nicole. Oh and this is a conversation he has with 9 year old Jayden. I was more than a little confused.
Halfway through this series I realized why @Elena wrote only one review for this trilogy because**spoiler alert** 3.75 - 4✨
“My heart remembers you.”
Halfway through this series I realized why @Elena wrote only one review for this trilogy because otherwise it doesn’t make sense. I suggest reading her review too, it’s way more in detail and honestly beautifully written. (Yes I’m hyping my girl)
Anyway, BR with @Mariam. IT WAS SOO MUCH FUN. WE WERE FUCKING SPEEDING THROUGH THIS. Her views are wayyy different than mine.
This trilogy was the definition of true love. Soulmates. Love at first sight. I don’t believe in any of that shit, but this series made me think “maybe”.
After being in an accident, Justin suffers from amnesia and found himself forgetting the last 5 years of his life. Including 4 year relationship with his boyfriend and boss, Dallas.
Through the course of the three books, we read the most beautiful and simple version of unconditional love. Dallas’ loyalty, patience and determination is one for the books. I couldn’t help but admire his character for what he was. Perfect. It’s not that he did anything big. He was just there. He held Justin’s hand. He gave the best hugs. He said “I love you” when he had to and when he wanted to. He made me feel unbelievably single. He didn’t push Justin. He respected boundaries. And the list goes on.
“It’s not all roses and sunshine. It’s laundry and dishes, bills and mortgages, and wet towels on the floor, or changing the cat litter. We adapt and we roll with it. So all these changes that we’ve had to deal with because of the accident, I don’t mind one bit, Juss. Because when I fell in love with you, it was forever. In health and in sickness, or however that goes.”
Justin was such a soft character. He was passionate and strong and the effort he took to become himself again was a slow process. It happened so slowly that you wouldn’t really notice it, like the noticing someone you live with get taller by the day. Him asking for hugs and kisses are a new favorite of mine. Their relationship was basically cheesy moments that were beautifully written. How something that would’ve normally made me cringe, put a smile on my gave this time I don’t know.
Can I get you anything? A juice or a cup of tea?” He smiled. “A cuddle. Always makes me feel better.” “I can do that.” “A proper lie-down cuddle,” he added. “And you can rub circles on my back and put your fingers through my hair.”
We have everything we can ask for in this series: Main characters with depth and personality, an adorable cat named squish, a found family element, forgiveness, second chance, slow burn, closure. I’m sorry but I’m just falling in love all over again.
“I named him that?” “Yep. You kept saying you were gonna squish him if he didn’t get out from under your feet.”
I think what I also enjoyed was that we got to meet Jimmy. The man who crashed into Justin. I adored this man so much, he was a gentle soul filled with guilt and regret and reading about how both Justin and Dallas forgives him truly brought tears in my eyes. Their newly formed bond was so tentative and sweet, Jimmy introduces Justin and Dallas to his family and ultimately brings them in, giving Justin a family he never had ( minus Dallas ). Absolutely wholesome.
This is written in a dual POV, With more regard to Dallas’ point. But I appreciated the moments in the series when Dallas’ reaches his limit and needs to take instead of give. We read through bills and insurance and hospital visits, all through which Dallas had to be by Justin’s side for strength. So when we finally read about Justin giving Dallas what he wants, it’s a whole new experience. To watch a strong man finally become vulnerable and tired.
“But Justin, you should know that having a partner isn’t required for sexual release. You don’t technically require Dallas’ assistance.” “Well, that’s true,” Juss replied. He let go of my hand and put both his hands out as though he was about to explain the size of a fish. “But he has a dick—” I pulled his hand down, mortified. “Oh my God, you’re not finishing that.”
Also a major shoutout to Sparra and Davo : Dallas’ found family and mechanics at his shop. They were so supportive and I think gave a new light to the term “blind loyalty” in the best way possible.
Overall : just read this series. You won’t regret it....more
**spoiler alert** this surprised me. I wasn't sure how i would feel about this considering the fact that I'm a petty bitch. When i found out this cont**spoiler alert** this surprised me. I wasn't sure how i would feel about this considering the fact that I'm a petty bitch. When i found out this contained cheating i was v reluctant in picking this up. But OH MY GOOD. It was sooo good.
Unfortunately it wasn't emotional enough for me. I felt the heroine's pain, but i couldn't shed a fucking tear. But that's just me and not the book.
About one month after the divorce, Olivia finds out that her husband, Bennet, was in a car accident and suffers from memory loss. He remembers their marriage but not their divorce and definitely not the events of him cheating on her.
past : Olivia and Bennet went through two miscarriages. The second one took a tole on them, and Olivia suffered from depression. She didn't eat or sleep or talk and she completely shut Bennet out; hurting him the process since he couldn't comfort his wife. He gets drunk and ends up in bed with another women.
what i couldn't understand was why he continued sleeping with his "mistress". well three more times!! I personally would've never been okay with continuing a relationship with Bennet but it takes two to tango. Cheating is a hard limit for me in real but Olivia did have her own faults through the relationship and i was able to look past it all towards the end. ( kind of)
I tried to hate Bennet. I reaaallly did. But i couldn't. He was fucking McSteamy (yes, not McDreamy) This entire book was basically him groveling and trying to win olivia back while she took care of him after the accident. I could handle some of the things he said to her. His begging. His words. His fucking letter wrecked me you guys. I know I’ve said it a million times while I’ve been alive, but maybe it means something in death. I’m sorry I hurt you. I’m sorry that I broke you. Broke us. I love you so much. Till death do us part, right? I’m waiting for you on the other side. Maybe we can try this again in the afterlife? Forever and ever, Clarke
I think the only thing i was uncomfortable with was them solving their problems with sex. I loved the sex scenes. It was dirty and kinky and steamy to another level. But some of them could've been avoided. I also didn't like that they didn't have the most splendid communication at times.
But overall : considering the fact that i haven't conjured up 50 ways to bury Bennet alive....I call this a win....more

I didn’t think i would really like this because of the distance between the two main characters but the emails and texts utterly slayed me.
Jax and Wilder has a relationship that I would can an “epic romance”<\b>
Despite their insecurities and family trouble, their feelings hadn’t faded and the writing portrayed that so well, my heart couldn’t stop clenching while I was reading this gem.
This book had my heart in its fist and it just kept on squeezing.
-THE TROPES. I READ IT FOR THE TROPES!-
Lovers to enemies“I wish you still loved me.”
This book had my heart in its fist and it just kept on squeezing.
-THE TROPES. I READ IT FOR THE TROPES!-
Lovers to enemies to lovers. Forced proximity. One bed. Second chance.
I loved this book oh so much. The angst and slow burn was so perfectly done.
“I miss you, too,” he said quietly, without turning around. “But that’s just another reason not to look back.”
It had everything I want. The perfect amount of ‘ I hate you because I still love you’ and the writing was excellent. It made my heart tighten more times than I can count.
Story in short is basically : Nate and Sam living in America in 1778. Deliriously in love. But on opposing sides on how the war should go. Sam, true to his beliefs, declines the oath of loyalty and is punished brutally for his actions and banished from America. Years later they are reunited and forced to work together on a mission and we see Sam struggle with his feelings for the man that stood by and did nothing as he got beaten and abused. And we see Nate try get through to Sam and apologise.
“It’s like scratching a mosquito bite — you get a little temporary relief but end up making it bleed.”—“The way I see it, I’m better off keeping my eyes on the horizon and not looking back. There’s nothing there for me anymore.”
The transition was Enemies to lovers was so effortless. I didn’t even notice it. It all seemed so smooth and natural and it was fucking satisfying. The was Sam softened and lowered his walls slowly. It was beautiful.
I’ll never regret finding you again. It’s what I longed for.”
so i was very excited for this book. I mean second chance, best friends to lovers, band getting back together. it all seemed solid right?

good gosh, i love many of Eden Finley's books but this one was just so boring. the beginning was fine; you see Harley and Ryder ( previous books ) trying to hunt everyone down and get them back together. and this follows Mason and Denver trying to mend their broken frienship.
but after that it got soo boring. i dont know if it was the writing or the plot but it just didn't click with me and i found myself skipping a lot.
i really hope the next one will be better because this is 2.5 to 3 stars for me....more
This book was mentally and emotionally exhausting and I’m pretty sure the next book is gonna put me In a reading slump.
So many things happened in thiThis book was mentally and emotionally exhausting and I’m pretty sure the next book is gonna put me In a reading slump.
So many things happened in this book. First of all, like all Kennedy Ryan books; the hero was amazing. Totally worshiped the ground the heroine walked on and everything he did had a reason. The heroine on the other hand pissed me off in the beginning. There’s a thin line between badass and fucking annoying and she crossed it. No spoilers here, but gotta say she had no right to judge or feel betrayed by anything grip did.
The second half was way better. Fucking hot for one. And a lot more topics were covered. I did like the realistic consequences and problems faced by people of color and the privileges of the others.
I wish we could’ve seen a little more between Bristol and her brother. Their relationship grew drastically but there were not many scenes. I loved the family element in the book. Both the heroines and the hero’s.
“You could’ve broken up with me.” “I figured you’d get the message, get mad, then reappear in the form of a fucEwwwww. No. Nope. Nu uh. Sorry but no.
“You could’ve broken up with me.” “I figured you’d get the message, get mad, then reappear in the form of a fuck buddy.”
^Oh boy. That was hilariously bad.
So let’s break it down shall we? We first meet Madison who is in a relationship with perfect boy Ethan. Few pages into the book and she is approached by her bad-boy billionaire ex boyfriend Chase Black, who comes up with the whole fake fiancé charade to appease his family and dying father in exchange for helping Madison with whatever shit she has. Madison or MARTYR MADDIE as she is called goes along with it in sympathy for Chase’s dad. Who has cancer btw.
And that’s when we see Chase finally fight for Madison. Why? So he can fuck her. Not for a relationship. *a boy after my own heart*
“I can’t promise you forever, but I can promise you right now, and it’s more than I’ve ever offered a woman before.”
*fake swoon* Chase Black really knows the way to a girls heart doesn’t he.
Ethan - Coffee is highly unhealthy. I’ll send you an article.
I just don’t get why authors make the boyfriends look like a boring stick in the mud. It’s a total cop out for us to fall in love with the H. Unfortunately that method isn’t really successful in this book.
I think having Ethan in this book was totally unnecessary. It honestly made me dislike the heroine, how she kept dragging him along and used him to get over Chase.
Overall. I think I only liked the few ending chapters where they supported eachother as friends and went from there. That should’ve been how the storyline went from chapter 10 or 12. And not the whole “I don’t have heart. I can only fuck” bullshit. ...more

A marriage in trouble where both sides try their level best at honestly to make it work. A slow burn romance that explodes at the end. Several emotional, raw and real conversations that made me cry a river. A family bond so huge and strong you can’t help but envy. This book just worked for me. I never understood the true depths of anxiety until I read Aiden’s thoughts. The pain and numbness and confusion and frustration. It was vivid. The part where Freya understood her mistakes and finally put herself in his shoes. Ugh chefs kiss. 5 stars. ...more
