“I have found the one whom my soul loves.
My beloved is mine, and I am his. I’m yours, Kenan.”

Written review to come because I am trying to still get my emotions in check to write how I feel.
Just simply know that I LOVE this book! It is a beautiful, hard hitting story about a single dad navigating having a teen and an evil ex. Also a woman that is dealing with the horrors of her past. This story hit home in a major way and I am thankful to the time, care, and research that Kennedy Ryan took with this story to make it all that it is. Kenan and Lotus are complicated characters that you just feel. There are appearances by some of my other favorite characters and I loved it!
This specific video review is included in the April 2019 wrap-up.

soul~ful: full of or expressing feeling or emotion. {this is Kennedy Ryan's writing}
Every once in a while you read a book that has you re-evaluating every 5-star rating that you've ever given. This book did that for me. Kennedy Ryan writes beautiful words and characters and stories.
Words like smoldering, longing, desire and attraction are the first words that came to mind while reading this book. She has a magical way of bringing these feelings to life. I'm not sure how she does it, but she creates the most intimate moments from the simplest of thingss, whether it be a stolen kiss, a walk in a park or just leaning against a car.
Her characters are special and I think Lotus and Kenan are my favorite from this series. We've felt their connection through the first 2 1/2 books and they finally find each other in this one. They are both old souls and just seem so perfect for each other from the get-go. You feel they were truly meant to be.

"This feeling between us is a tempest, and I have no desire to take shelter. When she kisses me, I forget everything and want to stand in the rain."
"We stare at one another across centuries, across continents, across time and space, and I actually believe that I would have found him anywhere. There is no place, no spot on the continuum of time that could have hidden this man from me."

Content warning: childhood sexual abuse, support group discussions about child sexual abuse
I don't have a lot to say because my mind is blown by this story. I didn't much care for Lotus when we met her in the first book but I have 100% changed my mind on that. Lotus and Kenan's story was beautiful and heart-wrenching and absolutely perfect. This book was definitely my favorite of the 3 and I thought that would be Iris and August's.
There is talk of childhood sexual abuse as well as one chapter where the event is explicitly on the page. Yell at me for spoilers if you want but for some people this is a no go so I wanted to put it out there.
