Sam Morgan thought losing Raven was the worst thing that could happen to him.

He was wrong.

Now he’s running from everything she left behind, putting miles between himself and the people who still care whether he makes it home. But no matter how far he goes, grief follows.

And so does Raven.

She should be gone. Instead, she’s trapped somewhere between what was and whatever comes next, unable to let go of the man she left behind.

Then Astra enters Sam’s life, all warmth and light in the middle of his darkness, and for the first time since Raven died, something begins to change.

Because sometimes the person haunting you isn’t the one you need to fear.

Sometimes it’s yourself.

I've been incredibly invested in this story from the moment I found out that this was going to be a trilogy. After reading the first book and not only falling in love with every single character, I was faced head on with a true heartbreak. I went through denial, shock,anger, and finally hope because I knew that this story wasn't over and that bump in the road was going to lead to an incredible new beginning. 

Picking up right after the gut wrenching ending of Break Me, we were immediately thrown into the aftermath of pure grief. We saw every character dealing with it in their own way and we got a front row seat to a lot of self destruction with Samuel. Days turning into weeks and months felt like YEARS went by and I found myself praying for a time jump to bypass this level of fresh pain for him. When other characters got introduced, I breathed a sigh of relief because I knew that something good was around the corner. 

I know that this review is extremely vague but for fear of spoiling anything, I won't delve into the story itself any further. What I will say is that I genuinely loved these characters and I wished that there was more time spent setting up and building a bond between certain characters. I felt like the majority of the book was an endless cycle of grief with an introduction to a new character. Don't get me wrong, I loved that and it was honestly some of my favorite parts of the book but I just needed MORE. 

With a cliffhanger that came out of nowhere, I'm going to be climbing the walls until the next book comes out! I truly hope that the final book is going to give us everything that we were craving for and I can't wait to see what's going to happen next.

New York Times bestselling author Emma Chase is back with this red-hot romantic comedy about two rival real estate developers who inherit the same lucrative property in a small beach town. There’s just one catch: they have to live in it…together.

No loopholes. No backing out. No leaving for four months.

Damon Burke is intense, handsome and vengefully calculating—he's also certain he'll outlast his competitor.

Jade Buchanan is brilliant, ruthless, and absolutely not losing to him.

But the house seems to have a mind of its own. With faulty wiring, a leaking roof, drafty windows and the occasional wild-life infestation, it just might be trying to kill them. And the more Damon and Jade try to oust each other from the property, the more it brings them together.

Sparks fly, tempers clash—but eventually, all their walls come crumbling down.

It's a bad idea to get too close to your enemy. To care about them, need them, want them more than you've ever wanted anything.

But when rivalry becomes something more than they ever expected, Damon and Jade discover love can be a very good bad idea.

Emma is back with another enemies to lovers that took sexy rivalry to a whole other level!

Bitter rivals Jade Buchanan and Damon Burke have never seen eye to eye on anything but they do have one thing in common. Getting ownership of a property that would take their separate real estate development to a whole new level. After finding out that getting the property comes with rules and stipulations, these two embark on a brutal four months of cat and mouse games, pranks, and so much sexual tension, I nearly passed out!




Being cut off from the outside world for four months with your sworn enemy is not an easy task and for Damon and Jade, they certainly tested each other in the worst possible ways. These two were horrible for each other's health and I loved it! Did they go too far with certain things? Sure. But I feel like every move that was made, brought them to the second part of their story and it had to be done.

With that being said, I enjoyed the last half of the story a lot more because the characters' emotions were real and raw. There was no way to hide and they both knew it and I loved that. It was a stripped down, bare all type of emotional torture that made us saw the beauty and the makings of an epic love story.

If you're a fan of this author, then you're going to love this one.

From USA Today bestselling author Kimberly Knight comes a high-spice, father’s-best-friend age-gap

romance about crossing the line with the one man she knows she shouldn’t want.

The last person Blair Hart expects to run into at a members-only sex club in Beverly Hills is her father’s

best friend.

She’s only in Los Angeles for a work conference, and after catching her boyfriend cheating, one night

of no-strings-attached fun sounds like exactly what she needs. Until she walks into Sensation and

comes face-to-face with Dane Kincaid.

He’s older, tempting, and completely off-limits, and he knows better than to see Blair as anything more

than his best friend’s daughter. But the woman standing in front of him isn’t the girl he remembers, and

once they cross the line, one night in his private room is supposed to be where it ends.

Instead, Blair returns to New York with Dane still on her mind—and it isn’t long before dirty texts turn

into late-night calls, and the secret they left behind in LA follows them across the country.

When Blair receives an offer she’d be foolish to refuse, it’s a career-changing position at the

construction company owned by her father and Dane.

Moving home means being closer to her family, stepping into the job she’s worked years for … and

leaving three thousand miles of safe distance between her and Dane in the past.

They already know what happens when they’re alone together. What neither of them knows is how long

they can keep their secret after Blair returns to California.

Because she was never Dane’s to want, but knowing that hasn’t done a damn thing to stop either of

them.

Not Yours to Want is a high-spice, dad’s-best-friend age-gap forbidden romance novella featuring a

one-night stand that turns into something more, an older man/younger woman pairing, a secret

relationship, and a very exclusive sex club.

This story has everything that I look for in a dark romance and I was beyond excited to dive into the unknown of this forbidden emotional romance. 

Being the VP of one of the most well respected MC has always been a true honor for Samuel and he's always thought that nothing would be better than running the club alongside his best friend Knox. But all of that changes when he falls for his little sister and what was always a happy dynamic, is now filled with tension, betrayal, and knowing that life as they knew it, is about to be ripped apart in the cruelest way. 

  I really enjoyed most of the story and I loved the family dynamic but I have to say that I was a bit disappointed in the characters' relationship in the beginning. I felt like I was dropped into the middle of it and we were told that this is a relationship and these two people are madly in love with each other. I wanted to see the relationship being built from the very beginning. I wanted to witness the stolen glances, feel their emotional turmoil, the longing, and see the exact moment of when they finally give in. I think if that was done from the start, I would've loved these characters even more and I would have felt EVERYTHING. 

With all of that being said, I will say that I became emotional towards the end and I held out a lot of hope for these characters. The ending damn near destroyed me and I'm still trying to come to terms with it and figure out how everything is going to work out. What happens now? Can true love really conquer all? I will be a hot mess until the next book comes out! 

If you're looking for a MC biker romance that's going to tear you apart, this one is most definitely for you.
