Piper is a famous influencer with a huge following online. Due to recent threats, her father insisted on a bodyguard. And when she is in danger, he whisks her off to a family beach house, where they will lay low until her stalker is found.

Tristan is doing the best he can. Still dealing with old injuries, but does let his struggles rule his life. He is strong, protective and takes his job very seriously.

Piper, on the other hand, comes across as way worse than I expected, she is whiny and complains all the time.

While there is a lot of chemistry I didn't like the romance all that much.

I had high hopes for this, but honestly, the writing style just isn’t for me. It felt very cold and matter of fact. No emotion. I also didn’t feel any chemistry between the H/h and their behavior came off as a little cringy and not at all believable.

The romance came kind of out of nowhere. there wasn't much in the way of development.
That didn't stop me from enjoying it though :)

The End of Us was without a doubt my favorite book in the Love in Isolation Series. I was really intrigued about Piper and Tristan's age gap, forced proximity romance and I couldn't have asked for more from these two. I truly loved every minute of my read filled with humor, emotion and sexy times.

Piper was a highly entertaining heroine with all her sassiness and flirty repartees. I enjoyed how she was always ready to make her sexy and older bodyguard fall for her. Tristan was such a protective man in his job, but also as a partner. He was the whole package of swoon worthy hero. And his dirty mouth...oh la la!

As much as there was light and funny moments between them, their connection was so much more than only physical. They learned to see under the surface. I enjoyed that we clearly saw Piper was more than the cliché socialite "princess" and Tristan was dealing with trauma from his past as a military man.

I highly recommend The End of Us and the next novel in the series has me really excited.

Character representation AND communication? Wow, how I loved this! The pacing was a little different than the other books in the series but I really loved Piper and Tristan’s story.

I loved the characters, I was surprised that they went into the direction that they did with an amputee character.

Book one is still my favorite, for some reason all the elements in that book was just perfect. The romance and the tension, all of it was smooth-flowing.

What I didn't like about this book is the romance. I can see Piper and Tristan together, yes, but the attraction felt forced. I was being "told" they were attracted to each other, rather than read through it myself. I didn't appreciate how their romance was written. There were no proofs to back up the claims that they were falling for each other.

I wish there was also an explanation as to how Jack found them.

This is an okay book, it just all felt rushed and I didn't enjoy it as much as I did the first book. Nonetheless, I hope others who will read this will enjoy it.

I was smitten and completely charmed by this couple as I fell into this forbidden love story.

The End of Us speed by as I turned page after page. I will admit, at first,  I wondered how a spoiled brat heiress could charm a toughened, trained bodyguard, but as the pages flew by I was enraptured by this duo. 

Piper is a billionaire heiress, but also an influencer all on her own rights. When a stalker threatens her life she is taken to an undisclosed location along with bodyguard and unplugs from all social media, isolating the two of them from the outside world.

The time in isolation is the perfect opportunity for Piper to unplug from her public persona, become more of herself than she has in, probably forever, and really get to know the man who has been guarding her closely for months. Her older, sexy-as-sin, bodyguard, Tristan.

Tristan likes the real woman vs. the fake social persona Piper portrays for her fans and the more time they spend in isolation the more he enjoys spending time with her, but he shouldn't cross boundaries with her. Not only is her employed by her father, but he's older and jaded by his experiences. Piper is a shiny beacon he shouldn't want, but the more time he spends with her it gets harder to stay away.

The heart of this story blew me away and knowing how personal it was to the authors pulled all my heartstrings. The End of Us is a total joy to read. Full of heart, steam, and a bit of suspense.

A fun and sassy read. Piper is a product of how she was raised - a 21 year old billionaire heiress who has a YouTube channel with millions of subscribers. She has a stalker who tries to grab her at her sister’s wedding reception, to keep her safe she is whisked away by her bodyguard, Tristan, to his family’s beach house. These two are complete opposites who are in close confines as they stay off grid to keep her location a secret while the authorities try to find and arrest her stalker.

The forced isolation and cohabitation brings these two closer together as they learn more about each other. The attraction builds until Tristan can’t resist his beautiful protected any longer.

Tristan is awesome how he doesn’t let Piper get away with a cranky attitude about her rough conditions. He slowly shares some of his past with Piper and she is surprised with what she learns.

I received an ARC from the authors and I am voluntarily leaving a review.
