Great read!

This book had a lot of emotion, I feel like way more than the first one. I had to stop myself from crying one time because one part just kind of punches you in the gut. A few things frustrated me, especially Sy's back and forth attitude (although I kinda understood it. Kinda.) Definitely liked him softer than I did when he was acting like a jerk. Great story overall!

I absolutely LOVED listening to this book!! We met Sy and Holly both in book one and kind of got a feel for their chemistry, but River knocked it out of the park with this one!! 

This is a book about grief and loss, overcoming hard shit, and finding yourself again! Sy and Holly both have trauma and baggage to work through and overcome, and River wrote it exceptionally well! The way you watch these two grow, and develop a relationship, all while facing off with their own demons, is utterly breathtaking! 

Holly and Sy go through it; their HEA is not easily won, but the journey to get there is honestly so good! I loved seeing them work through all that happened to themselves both separately as well as together; I loved seeing Sy step up and commit, and I loved seeing Holly finally find herself again! 

This was a fun audiobook experience and I’d definitely recommend it if you’re looking for an MC Romance! That being said, this is part of a series and I highly recommend reading book one first!

I love Holly and Sy, I love them together but for some reason I just wasn't able to get into this story as much as the others. Maybe because they were both just too closed off? I'm not sure, I still loved it of course I just didn't connect with this one as much.

Loved it

I knew Sy's book was going to be fabulous. The author didn't disappoint. I now eagerly await Jesse's book, which I think will be just as spectacular.
