how am i supposed to get over this? hands down one of the best books i’ve read this year, if not my favorite.
ensnared was one of my top reads of 2023 so there's no need to tell you how much i looked forward to reading its sequel. there was no question in my mind whether it would be as good, i trust rebecca's talent. but damn, i did not anticipate that it would blow away all my expectations! book 1 was mostly an introduction to this world and the characters, and it ended in a cliffhanger. in this book, the stakes get higher as new characters join in the story. some that you will love, some that you will hate, and some that you will wonder whether to trust or not. but the main focus always stays on eden and her men.
when i say you go through all the emotions in this book, i mean it. i cried and laughed. i was angry, anxious, relieved, shocked, delighted and frustrated along with the characters. rebecca has such a way with words that makes you feel deeply and intensely! it was a rollercoaster of emotions and i enjoyed every minute of it.
you get to see new sides to each character in entangled. they go through huge growth and changes, dom and jayk in particular. the way rebecca handled the mental health aspect of this story was beautiful and very touching. eden has to deal with a lot of trauma, but she can count on her brutes to be there for her.
in ensnared, my favorites were lucky and dom. this time, it was jayk and dom, but honestly, each of them had their time to shine and showcase their different personalities.
it goes without saying that this book was very spicy, as can be expected from rebecca's books. there are 82 pages (that's 5 chapters) of non-stop delightful smut , and that's not even all of it. and it's very quinnky.
i absolutely recommend this book if you liked ensnared!

This Book Owns Me, Hands Down It’s My Favorite This Year
Quote:📖
I am prepared to do anything to live, to thrive. I survived.
Thoughts: 💡
I’m still struggling to contextualize just how deeply and profoundly this book has rocked me. This is hands down my favorite book of the year. The emotional depth of these characters is astounding, the first book was beautifully written with some emotionally gripping sections, but this one was so much better. Jasper’s inner monologue on the symphony of sound, Beau’s doctor games, Dom’s rules, Licky’s Pranks, Jayk’s slowly thawing heart, Eden’s fury and character development, Beau with the cheese, and chapter’s 44-48 🔥. To be perfectly honest I had over 200 highlights in the text and even more bookmarks in the audiobook. And yes, you do need both of those experiences.
Writing Mechanics: ✍️
I will never be able to hype this book or audio enough. It’s brilliantly written and well crafted, and the narration is on point. One of the notes I made for myself while reading was that Ensnared was built around Eden’s quiet strength, while Entangled is about her quiet fury.
There are a multitude of moving parts to the plot and so many deeply developed and diverse characters. This book had me laughing, crying, and super 😉 on a repeating cycle.
