The dynamic duo strikes again with Dirty Secret. The collaboration between Chelle Bliss and Brenda Rothert is a win/win for their fans. It's like a BOGO sale! While Dirty Secret is a standalone, there are a few characters mentioned from Dirty Work. Kennedy and Reagan are sisters.
Being a techie myself, I was excited to dig in to the hacker aspect of the story. And of course the lust between two characters on opposite sides of the law is pretty much a guaranteed page turner. Not that contact between them was forbidden, cuz you know spies do what they must to accomplish their mission, right? I know it's a hard job. Or was that a hand job? Maybe it was both. Either way it's a job I wouldn't mind, at least that part. (wink-wink)
The secrets and suspense were intriguing as I waited for answers, while at the same time afraid of them. Of course I had my own ideas about how I wanted things to turn out and I was concerned that the authors had other plans. They kept me waiting, stringing me along, just the way I like it. ...more

Zara Cox did "It pleased me that he was fighting this connection between us. And failing. The man couldn't help but look at me every few minutes."
Zara Cox did it again. She swept me away, keeping me immersed in a world that I could only visit in her imagination. I discovered her work by accident, a book title that intrigued me to take a chance. A journey, once experienced, would keep me coming back, again and again. If she writes it...I'll read it.
The synopsis got my attention, but after reading the story I see that it was just a taste, the appetizer. The main course was unexpected and too delicious to describe. Not that I would do that. You need to experience that adventure for yourselves. Trust me, her Driving Him Wild is guaranteed to drive you wild too! But, just to be nice I'll give you one little treat. Here ya go, "Talk dirty Danish to me." Yeah, sexy, right? I can't understand it, but I felt it.

"Cops and clubs, we don't mix."
I loved going into this story knowing that the #HotCop would eventually become a #BadassBiker. It just amped up the anticipation for me as I waited for it to happen. And as it is with every addition to the Rebel Wayfarers MC series, a family reunion as I get to catch up with some of my favorite characters. I know I don't have to tell you this if you are already this far into the series, but it still amazes me how the author gives her characters such an audible voice with her powerful words. I shit you not, I can hear them...
Doug, who will later become Gypsy, is one of the good guys. You'd think he would be among many, but unfortunately, that's not the case in a police department with dirty cops. It made it hard to know who to trust and it strained my spidey senses as I struggled to detect the bad guys. What he had hoped to be a brotherhood in blue failed him. I didn't blame him for feeling betrayed and discouraged regarding his career. I just kept thinking in the back of my head that Mason was gonna see his worth and make him learn to trust in brotherhood again, right? Yeah, I admit it, Mason can do no wrong in my eyes, I adore the president of the rebels. I practically had to sit on my hands I was so excited as I waited for all the puzzle pieces to fall into place and for those two characters to finally meet.
And then, when that wish was granted, I was excited for him to meet Kelsey. That's the power of a good book title, cover and synopsis, right? It gives you enough information to intrigue you and to put images and ideas in your head. It keeps you leaning towards those things that you know are coming while continuing to ramp up the suspense with the missing pieces.
As I mentioned previously, the author's gift with words is amazing. She put me inside Gypsy's head and his heart. I saw her through his eyes and the journey she took me on was both heartbreaking and beautiful. If you follow my reviews you already know that I'm addicted to MC Romance. I've read hundreds of them so I have a strong basis for comparison. So, I can tell you with conviction that these rebels have a strong voice and a huge collective heart, their bond of brotherhood is intense and leaves the reader in no doubt that they are a force to be reckoned with. I know before I ever turn the first page that I will get the 'feels because that's something the author excels at, and that's why I'm addicted to her stories. The line forms here...

Finally. I've been waiting for Bryan's story. He has intrigued me from the beginning. So much attitude and Bryan is brutal...in all the best ways.
Finally. I've been waiting for Bryan's story. He has intrigued me from the beginning. So much attitude and so many secrets. I can't resist a broken bad boy, and he's the worst. And I can't resist a Eden Summers book either. I first fell in love with her rockers, and now she's slain me with her sexy alpha men of sin in her Vault series. But I confess, Bryan is my fave...sigh. ♥
Pamela is a long time member of The Vault sex club. But she's just not finding what she needs there. There's only ever been one man that instinctively knew what she needed, and gave it to her. And that man is gone. Will she have to go the rest of her life feeling unfulfilled? As she's on the verge of giving up, as she's on her way out the door for the final time, he shows up and rocks her world. The arrogant bastard they call Brute. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see where that nickname came from. He thinks he's all that. It really irks her to find out that everything she's heard whispered about him is true. He does know what he's doing. He is all that. But she has no intention of letting him know she feels that way.
Bryan, along with his two partners, own The Vault. It's his domain. His place. That's where he works out his demons. It's his therapy. But never more than once with the same woman. That's his rule and they all know it. Not that they agree, or give up trying to change his mind. But he doesn't believe in relationships. He doesn't date. He doesn't cuddle. He doesn't do anything that he doesn't want to. He doesn't share details about himself, even with those closest to him. But he does care about his friends. He shows his affection through his rudeness and sarcasm. Their witty banter is pretty damn funny. That's enough for him. He's got all he needs. Or at least he thought so...
When a staff member asks for his help with a member that is dissatisfied, he reluctantly goes to see if he can help. He has no idea what he is in for. It only takes a few minutes to convince the member that he's capable of providing the service he promised. But it takes a lot longer than that for him to forget her. Oh wait, scratch that. He can't forget her.
After Bryan opens his mouth and inserts his foot in a very public way he finds himself in trouble with his partners and some of the female members. The last thing he wants to do is apologize. That's not his style. So he decides to make a deal. Promising what he's known for in exchange for her help. Will Pamela be able to refuse his request after having a taste of what he has to offer?
All I can tell you is that I had my fingers and toes crossed hoping that she wouldn't. Yes, I knew that there was a danger of my reading device bursting into flames if those two let their passion loose. But damn, I was willing to take the risk. You know I just took advantage of Amazon's Prime Day Sale so I have a backup Kindle Fire just waiting in case of emergencies. And let me tell you, Eden Summers did such an excellent job of writing Bryan's character that I could feel the rumble of his deep growly voice and the goose bumps from his one finger touch. If I smoked I'd be having a cigarette right now. I can't wait to see what the author has in store for her readers next. The line forms here...

I was excited to get my hands on In Searc"Sometimes it's not time or distance that heals wounds, it's meeting the right person at the right time."
I was excited to get my hands on In Search of Solace being as I'm a big fan of MariaLisa deMora's writing. I get so caught up in her stories and characters I feel like I know them and look forward to any opportunities to spend time with them. I love it when I read a new story and an old friend shows up. This story has more than one old friend and I really enjoyed the crossover of different series. And, being a Texan myself, I really dig the Texas-based Freed Riders MC. But I'm not gonna lie, Mason will always be my first and favorite.
The author has a very distinctive style of writing that I've not found anywhere else. She has the ability to make me feel deeply and even hear the voices of her characters. Don't ask me how that's possible, it just is. Her men are so strong but so sweet at the same time. When they find the one their softness comes out and I just melt into a puddle of goo at the way they take care of their women. And it's not just the women either, the strong bond of brotherhood and found family is inspiring and heartwarming.
Don't think that it's all hearts and flowers though. The author's got a wicked side too. Her villains are vicious and probably what caused me to create a Goodreads bookshelf called throw-kindle to describe how I feel when I read some of them. The asshole responsible for the pain that Myrtle suffers definitely had me worked up and ready to do some damage. I totally understand the protectiveness she brought out in Bane, I felt it too.
All my boxes were checked and all my emotions got a workout. Since I can't give anything away, I think I'll try some 'L' words this time to give you a clue: livid, love, laughter, liaison, lust, leader, lies, loyalty, likable, lasting, longing, loathe, loving, life. I can't wait for whatever comes next. The line forms here...

Being a fan of MariaLisa's work, I've learned to expect the unexpected. But an expectation that she always lives up to is writing a good story, regardless of what subject matter she decides to tackle. She does not shy away from damaged characters or dark situations. I admit to being very intrigued when I read the synopsis for Alace Sweets.
Don't judge me for bonding with a vigilante serial killer, she's more than what she does. Being inside her head as she remembers the painful event that destroyed her teenage dreams had me so riled I was ready to join her. The evil she suffered through left her damaged and her attackers were never punished. She's basically decided that her life is over and her purpose is to help those that can still be saved. I was mentally giving her a high-five as she was tracking down the 'real serial killers' and doing what the law had failed to accomplish, making them pay for their crimes.
I got caught up in the details, excited by the technology and the planning involved in successfully tracking her target. I was nervous and paranoid on her behalf as I witnessed the events through her eyes as they evolved, immersed in the danger and fearful of the outcome. Would this story have a happy ending? That was another outcome I was fearful about when the synopsis promised an explosive ending, not an HEA. Not knowing kept me on the edge of my seat.
What? You think I'm actually going to tell you? Nope, you need to take a trip to the dark side and find out for yourself. No telling where the author will take us next, but wherever that is, I'm ready. The line forms here...

Not Even A Mouse features Myron, a member of the Rebel Wayfarers MC. I was thrilled to get to spend some time with him and get to know him better. As does every member of the club, he has great respect for the president, Mason. He came into his life at a time when he needed a helping hand and gave him something to work toward. He helped him to build a life that he could be proud of.
Myron has worked his way up through the club and is now a well-respected member. That means a lot to him and he doesn't want to risk losing it. There has been a lot of speculation among the men regarding his love life, but he just lets them come to their own conclusions without contributing. Not having anyone he's been interested in spending time with outside the club, he's been living in his room there. While sometimes he wishes for more, he realizes he's much better off than when Mason found him.
When he unexpectedly meets someone outside the club he finds himself reconsidering the dreams he gave up on long ago. Confessing that, "I never let myself dream of anything this good, because wishes and dreams aren't...productive." He had me wishing and dreaming too, wanting for him what he'd been denied. Feeling the longing with him as he watched his brothers find love and build a family.
He struggles with his new relationship, wanting more, but afraid to step outside of his comfort zone. He has a soul-deep bond with his brothers, and he worried, "Would they still feel the same if they knew every part of him?" He trusted them with his life, but could he trust them with his secret? Would it change their relationship once they knew?
For being such a badass biker, Myron had me smiling and sighing at his big heart. His sweetness with his sister, his protectiveness with the club women, and his gentleness with kids had me convinced he was meant to have a family of his own. Would he be able to get out of his own way and allow it to happen?
What a sweet story this is. It gave me the feels and made me fall even more in love with the Rebel Wayfarers. I can't get enough of them, and I hope I never have to. I'm looking forward to whatever the author has for us next. The line forms here...

I was beyond excited about getting my hands on this new installment in The Devil's Share series. I fell hard for Lexi in the first book. I know, right? You expected me to mention the sexy rockstars and it's a girl I bring up. Sorry, but I have a BIG girl-crush on her. As you either already know, or will soon find out, "If Lexi ain't happy, ain't nobody happy" and "To Lexi the world was her recliner." She's sweet, funny, and badass when it's called for. She has those rockers wrapped around her little finger...and me too.
Even with pregnancy hormones raging, Lexi is still bubbly. Her vice is sweets. Just try and keep her away from the ice cream or cookies. Her doting boyfriend is Dash, the lead singer. He hired Dylan, a Physician's Assistant to go on tour with them to keep an eye on Lexi and their unborn baby. While she tries to keep an eye on Lexi's eating habits, she doesn't push too hard. She has much more fun pushing the boys in the band. They soon discover that she might be tiny in stature, but she has BIG lady-balls, and she knows a lot of BIG words. I'm not into medical terminology so much, but "nocturnal penile tumescence" was pretty damn funny.
Actually, there was a lot of funny in this book. Those rocker boys, Dagger, Lexi & Dylan entertained me non-stop. And it wasn't just their banter that entertained me, there was some serious HEAT happening too. My kindle almost burst into flames a time or two (wink-wink).
And then there was Smith...sigh. While I only read it, rather than having first hand knowledge, I was convinced and willing to wear a t-shirt declaring that SMITH JAMES IS A SEX GOD. That's not all he has going for him though. I have a weakness for deeply damaged men, and for rockstars...he is both. My heart broke for him and the painful past that tormented him. He thought he was hiding his darkness from Dylan, but she saw much more than he thought. Not only was she tuned into him, she recognized signs that she wished she didn't.
Dylan had no desire to travel that road again. She had barely survived it the first time. She felt drawn to him, but feared, "What happens if I fall in love with this man and he goes dark and never comes back?" And Smith, who was a self-proclaimed manwhore, was not relationship material anyway. So, there's nothing for her to worry over, she would just enjoy the tour, and then go back to her life when it was over. Hmm...good luck with that, right?

Is love really enough? Rock God #2 picks right up at the cliff hanger ending we've been perched on waiting to find what happens with Colt & Lia. All thIs love really enough? Rock God #2 picks right up at the cliff hanger ending we've been perched on waiting to find what happens with Colt & Lia. All the colorful support characters are back and it's like a reunion. I still giggle at the Britishisms like a stag & hen party rather than a bachelor & bachelorette party, but playing 'pin the penis on Ian Somerhalder' is universal. However: I missed the rockstar experience as this one takes place when the band, Slayed, is on break and not touring. Most of the book takes place in the minds of the main characters as they struggle with their pain and wonder if love is enough to keep them together when so many things seem to be pulling them apart. The passion is still there and all it takes is a dirty word from Lia and Colt's eyes glaze over. But that's not enough to change Colt's mind when he is determined to not give in. Will Lia's insecurities push him further away? Can he convince her that she's the one for him when she's convinced otherwise? She's always been a spoiled, selfish girl that gets what she wants. But what if what she wants is not the best thing for him? What if it IS, but she is just too stubborn to believe it. I highly recommend that you avoid reading near breakable objects, because you will want to throw something at one or both of them.
Merged review:
Is love really enough? Rock God #2 picks right up at the cliff hanger ending we've been perched on waiting to find what happens with Colt & Lia. All the colorful support characters are back and it's like a reunion. I still giggle at the Britishisms like a stag & hen party rather than a bachelor & bachelorette party, but playing 'pin the penis on Ian Somerhalder' is universal. However: I missed the rockstar experience as this one takes place when the band, Slayed, is on break and not touring.

I am so glad that I took a chance on this series and was introduced to a new author that has now been upgraded to auto-click status. When I meet her in person someday, I'm gonna go total fangirl on her! Each book just got better and better and I got deeper and deeper into the lives and hearts of some of the most awesome badass bikers you will ever meet through the pages of your kindle.
MICA: Without fear there is no courage... I fell in love with Mason immediately. He is my favorite kind of alpha badass biker who says exactly what he means and does it in a way that really pushes my buttons. I would like to hear him on audible...sigh. I also enjoyed many of the other colorful characters in the book that I look forward to spending more time with in future installments. Slate and Road Runner are gonna be fun reads, I can tell already. I confess that while I enjoyed the story, it was almost too much. There was so much going on all at once, and it was sooo long, I found myself tempted to skim to get to the end. In my opinion sometimes less is more. Mica had her moments where I totally loved her, especially her drunk ramblings...meep, meep...I got you babe. She could be funny and sweet and occasionally badass. But, she is also stubborn and deaf. Well, she must be since she totally did not respond when I kept yelling at her to wake-the-f*ck-up and grab that totally HOT, tattooed, muscled, dirty-talkin', sweet, protective, beautiful man that worshiped her. And Jess, her BFF, who is queen of the never-ending sentences is a favorite that I hope to see a lot more of. Overall it was a very interesting read full of drama, suspense, laughter, secrets, pain, misunderstandings, revelations, surprises, and a few disappointments when things didn't go exactly how I wanted them to. But, it's not over so the possibilities are endless and I'm anxious to see how it all turns out.
SLATE: God forgives, Rebels don't... MariaLisa deMora, you can safely use Slate's 2nd favorite phrase and say, "I got this". This 2nd book in the Rebel Wayfarers MC series totally rocked, it was better and kept me invested from the first page. Rather than alternating past/present with flashbacks, this story starts in the past and brings us to the present and then overlaps. Some events that I read in Mica's book are in this one too, but there is more info that wasn't known since it was in Slate's head. I got to know Andy as a young boy who was forced to become a man way too soon, shouldering so much more than any child should have to. I think I will forever get a lump in my throat when I read or hear "what do you need me to do?" and "I got this". I was glued to my kindle, feeling the wind in my hair as I joined Andy on his journey to find where he belonged. Having already met him as Slate in the previous book, Mica, I knew where he would end up. However; I enjoyed the hell out of the process of how he got there. I especially enjoyed every trip to the tattoo parlor and the significance of messages he inked on his skin to remember the lessons he learned that were important to him. There was great wisdom in those lessons and I think many readers will be able to relate to them. I fell in love with even more characters that I look forward to seeing in future installments. As Slate says, they are "brothers by choice." I was also excited to get a little more Mason, he's still my fave. No, I didn't forget. You are wondering what Slade's very favorite phrase is? I didn't count how many times he says it, but it has to be a very large number. Whenever he is surprised, upset, resigned, or in lust he says, "f*@k me." I'm sure he gets many offers to take him up on that...sigh.
BEAR: "Love is elastic, it stretches to cover as needed." Although I've had my share of 'Rebel yells' throughout this series, Bear gets the majority of my 'Rebel tears'. MariaLisa deMora you ripped my heart out and then put the pieces back together again a page at a time. I'm really appreciating your long-version of taking me from past to present in the lives of these very special characters. By starting at the beginning I understand more and therefore every thought and phrase has more meaning because I understand where it's coming from. It's really putting me through an emotional wringer too as I share head-space with Rob/Bear. You are making me FEEL so much. Now that I've finished 3 very full-length novels I feel like an honorary member of the Rebel Wayfarers MC, like I should be invited to the next family BBQ. And when shit hits the fan, as it always does, I want my own room for when the club goes on lockdown. And my opinion hasn't changed. While I love them all, my favorite dirty-talkin' badass biker is still Mason...sigh. ❤️

This second book in The Next Generation series is told in alternating Caleb/Indi POV and starts from their childhooSometimes love just isn't enough...
This second book in The Next Generation series is told in alternating Caleb/Indi POV and starts from their childhood. They were best friends from first grade. Actually, they were each other's only friends for a while. As in the previous book, they fell for each other early but allowed life to get in the way of their happiness. Through many misunderstandings they struggle with their feelings for each other and have an on-again/off-again relationship throughout the years.
Will Indi ever be able to get past the trauma of her childhood and allow herself to give in to her feelings for Caleb? Will she ever be able to trust him? Will she ever stop running from herself long enough for him to catch her? Is there a place in his rockstar life for someone who doesn't want to be in the limelight?
Caleb was never confused. He knew exactly what he wanted...he just couldn't have it. From the time he was 7 years old and his life was turned upside down by the Slade brothers he's been conflicted about what he wanted and what he couldn't have. He's had way too many disappointments in his life. But at the same time, if not for them, he wouldn't have the good parts either. Luckily he has his music to keep him distracted when his life is falling apart, which happens quite often. His band, Staked, is becoming quite popular and his dreams are being realized. Well, at least one of them. They say that the best songs are written with a broken heart, and he writes some really good songs.
One thing you can expect from K.E. Osborn's characters is that they are not perfect. They make mistakes, big ones. They could cause a reader to drink and swear in frustration as they mess up again and again. I wonder if we can all get a group rate for counseling?

The ultimate guilty pleasure read...like chocolate...dark & delicious!
SEVEN SONS: Ready, set, GO! I've been hearing the hype about this series for a while now and finally decided to find out for myself if it was as good as everyone says. Well, guess what? They were right, it's incredible. I was engrossed immediately and read the book from cover to cover without stopping.
I have a 'girl crush' on the female character. I'm not sure what name to call her, but I am in awe of her, no matter what she chooses to call herself. I'd love to stay and chat some more about this nail biting series, but I'm anxious to move on to the next book...see ya there.
SIX BROTHERS: The countdown continues... This ain't no seven brides for seven brothers ladies. These brothers are bad news and their numbers are dwindling. Sammi is out for vengeance, rightly so, and she's not letting anything stand in her way. Not even her heart.
The more I get to know Dornan and his sons, the more worried I become. They are some sick puppies and she's playing with fire. I guess she felt like she had nothing to lose when she made her plans for revenge. But from this side of my kindle, I have to disagree. If she doesn't want Jase or Elliott, I'll take them...sigh.
FIVE MILES: There's an app for that... It keeps getting better and better. Sammi is badass, remaining brave in spite of her fear. As the big event gets closer and closer, my nails get smaller and smaller. The suspense is excruciatingly delicious. The sparks are flying between her and Jase, and a few other places too. I'm hooked, ready for more, see ya there.
FOUR SCORE: Love will have to wait... Secrets have been revealed. Hearts are broken. Lies are uncovered. Passion is present. Danger is calling. I'm afraid to turn the next page. I need to know, but what if it's bad and not good. Can I take it? Too late, I'm hooked, I'm going in...I'll see you on the other side.
THREE YEARS: There are things worse than death...so...much...worse Consider this a courtesy warning, it's your #MindFu@kAlert. You should start practicing your WTF? look right now so you'll be ready when it happens Cuz it is gonna happen. It's too late to turn back now. If you've made it this far, you're already and addict. So make a fist and get ready for your reward. And then, move on with me to the next book in the series to get your next fix.
TWO ROADS: Poor little rich girl... The Gypsy Brothers series is a total mind-bending-experience, I love it! It really makes you think about things that you would never have come up with on your own. That's what makes good authors so worthy to be fangirled over, right? They have amazing things floating around in their mind and choose to share those thoughts and ideas with their readers. Thank you for the hours of entertainment and mental anxiety as I bite my nails and rail at the evil villains that were birthed in your mind. Thank you for the smiles and the tears. And thank you for the next book in the series, I'm not ready to let go of my addiction yet. I need to be weaned off gently. So keep them coming...
ONE LOVE: The price of vengeance... I've been hearing about this series for a long time. I was jealous of all my friends who were raving about the Gypsy Brothers, wishing I had time to read it but knowing that I had too many review commitments to take that much time for my own guilty pleasure. Well, guess what? I did it. I dived in and read all seven books in two days. I'm that kinda girl, all or nothing.
And boy was I wrong about what I was getting into. I was fantasizing about 7 sexy biker brothers. I thought each book was gonna be focused on a different brother who would fall in love. Um...nope, this was NOT a typical MC Romance. And what a ride Lili St. Germain took me on. It was such a rush. I loved every second of it. I became a big fan and placed the author on auto-click status. Yup, if she writes it, I'll read it. I've joined the Gypsy Brothers Fan Club and will fight the crowds to scoop up anything released in that series. BTW, when I joined the fan club, it's the series not the brothers I'm fangirling over. There's only one brother that has my adoration, and yes, I would definitely hang his poster on my bedroom wall...sigh.
ALTERNATE: Their pain was his pleasure Alternate is a short novella told in Dornan, Elliot's, and Jase's POV. It's the other side, Juliette's story as seen from an alternate POV and it's an eye-opener. Will it make you like them better once you know how they felt? Will you feel sorry for them? Will they drop even lower in your opinion once you know their secrets? And yes, you will learn things that weren't revealed previously. It's not a fucking fairy-tale, it's dark, as we've come to expect and appreciate from this author. Is it over, or is there more to come? I don't know, but I'll be first in line if there is.

Yeah, me too! Jackie Ashenden writes the best alpha a-holes. I"I like arrogant and bossy and grumpy. And I really like sexy and hot and tattooed."
Yeah, me too! Jackie Ashenden writes the best alpha a-holes. I can't get enough. All it took was seeing her name on the cover for me to want to read this story, she knows how to push all my buttons, every time.
Ash is not only a billionaire, but he's also broken. It was his pain that pushed him to succeed. To prove himself to all those that hurt him. He's convinced that he doesn't need anyone, at least not for any longer than a night. He's used to people being intimidated by his size and his scars, but she's not. She's sweet and sassy he can't stop thinking about her.
She's determined to save her father's company and talking to Ash Evans is the only way to make that happen. Yes, her approach is unconventional, but so is she. She was raised by her father and brothers so opinionated men don't scare her. His bad temper and sharp tongue shouldn't turn her on, but they do. Everyone always says not to poke the bear, but she can't resist doing it every chance she gets.
This story was so entertaining. I kinda have a girl crush on her for how she handled Ash. Their banter was so much fun because she kept surprising him. He would purposely provoke her and she wouldn't do what he expected. I loved it!

"He simply loved her as she was. Because she was how she was. Beautiful, quirky and fae, and beloved."
MariaLisa deMora...my heart feels too big fo"He simply loved her as she was. Because she was how she was. Beautiful, quirky and fae, and beloved."
MariaLisa deMora...my heart feels too big for my chest. You've taken one of my favorite stories, Bones, and expanded it along with my heart. There's hardly any room to breathe, especially with the tears and sniffles. Beautiful is a word that doesn't do it justice, but it's all my emotional self can come up with right now. Thank you for wrapping up such an incredible series with so much love and leaving me with a smile and so many wonderful memories.
I must warn readers that you cannot appreciate the tale to the extent it deserves without reading the books that come before it. There are so many experiences hidden behind the words that touch you if you were there when it happened. Even if it was a long time ago, you feel the punch of remembrance. Whether it be pain or passion, love or laughter, this extended family of Rebels have been there for each other through thick and thin and will do so till death. Even though they are fictional, they have a forever place in my heart. As Bones says, "my Ester" and I feel it to my toes, I feel the same way about 'my Rebels'. When you've been through so much with someone, living inside their heads as they suffer and sharing their joy, it's hard to let them go. So, I'm not going to. "Rebels forever," *sniffle, snot, sigh* "forever Rebels."
