I teetered on a 4.5 or 5 stars but after sleeping on it went with 5 stars. Ashley legit knocked it out of the park with the final book in this series. We had been getting teases about Natty and Silas throughout the other books, but the story was so much more than I thought it was. I loved the different timelines and dual POVs. I loved the instant connection and love that turned into so much more. I loved hearing about our other characters. I had a REALLY hard time with Alec- I couldn't really move past what happened with him and Natty. I also wish we had seen more of how their relationship developed. And man oh man the almost ending was so heart breaking! I loved that both of these characters had been through so much and even though Natty was known as the sunshine one she ended up needing Silas to be her sunshine too. This story made me feel a lot of things- I was hopeful. I was sad. I was falling in love. I was sick to my stomach. I was proud. I was falling in love again. I was scared. I was sad. I was REALLY sad, and then I was smiling and wistful like. Most of these books have had some dark under tones, but this one definitely took the cake in that department. I would check the TW before reading.
Natty has been waiting for her soulmate to come back to her for two years. For two years, she has lived in another club. Made another life. Been happy, but she hasn't felt whole. She has been getting bits and pieces of him throughout this time and she thinks they are going to get reunited when in fact she gets kidnapped. By none other than her childhood friend and Silas's brother Alec and their father Fable. Fable who is the evil of all evil. She tries to draw on everything Silas trained her on but this is Alex- he wouldn't do anything crazy right? Wrong. She was so wrong. Now she is broken. She doesn't know what to do or think. Will Silas come for her? Will they make it? And then he does. He shows up, but is he ready to move on from his life of vengeance? Especially since Fable is still out there as a threat. Natty decides she is going to take matters into her own hands because the one thing she knows is that Silas is her husband, and she is not going to be left behind this time. She just hopes that there will be enough of them left to build from. She hopes that love will be enough to survive what they have been through.
Silas is lost. The love of his life is gone. Taken from him by his brother and father. Taken from him- the one man who should have been able to protect her. The man who would do anything for her. Her husband. The same husband who hasn't been around her in two years. The same husband who trusted his mom's direction on why she left and what his focus should be. The same husband who decides to he** with it and goes for her. The same husband who finds her broken and not like the beautiful sunshine she is. The same husband who finds himself needing to leave again. He has to keep her safe before they can finally have the life they are owed. But then she pulls a fast one and takes matters into her own hands. She makes him realize that they can do this thing together. She makes him realize that their love is strong enough to survive. They are an immovable force. But will they be able to stop Fable in time? Will they have their happy ever after? Because he has just started to think about what that could look like with her and he is holding onto that hope for dear life.
This is a devastating love story filled with betrayal for the right and wrong reasons. This is a story about finding the person that means everything to you and how far you would go to save them and then be with them. I loved Alec's arc even though I am still struggling with his actions. I love the happiness that Killian was able to experience. I am glad that Simon was able to meet his grandbaby before he passed. And OMG did I love Silas' side gig as a farmer. I loved watching them fall in love all over again in their new life without fear and danger lurking around every corner. I am SO sad that this series is over BUT at the same time am very excited to see what Ashley has in store for us next!! These books got better and better as I read them :)
Thank you to Ashley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!! I am so happy I was able to be on this journey with you!!
