Yeah spoliers.
Don't fucking care right now.
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
Why the FUCK, did no one mention to me, that this book involved a fucking stillbirth?
If I had have known that, I literally would not have read it. Okay, maybe I would, but I wouldn't have read it when my partner was in the house. No sir.
For those who don't know me, 2013 was the year, that I was pregnant with and lost my first child at nearly 22 weeks. Unlike Julez, I didn't bleed, or cramp. I just got a fever, and vomited constantly. I didn't go into labour naturally, I spent all day waiting, my partner slept in the room with me, my first time in hospital. I couldn't sleep until they drugged me. I didn't cry. I was just waiting, it didn't feel real. I woke up and said the same thing Julez did, that I thought I needed to push. I still remember the look on his face when we were told we lost it, and when I finally pushed. He cried, I couldn't. I did when we found out, and I had to call people, but for some reason I shut down. People thought I was crazy. I switched off, I blamed myself for not realising I was much sicker than I should have been. I pulled away from my partner before I realised he was hurting too, but that he wasn't just hurting from losing mason, but me. If I wasn't holding my new baby boy reading this, I probably would have not stopped crying. It's hard to accept that kind of loss, when no one gives you a definitive answer as to why because they don't know, you make up everything in your head. You become your worst enemy.
I think Dornan is in a lot of trouble right now, if someone else was the reason for me losing my first son, I wouldn't care the consequence, I'm not a violent person, but they'd be dead when I saw them before their heart beat the second time.

Holy shit!!!! This book was amazing. I wanted to crawl into a corned and rock back and forth. Totally amazing. Dornan is by far one the biggest mother effers I have read!!! And that's being nice.

So much UH OH... The last book (#5) started slacking but this book brought me right back to enjoying this series. Can't disclose too much without leaking spoilers but this book had it all and the way it ended?? I am so looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

I really should take a break from reading these because the drama is almost at ridiculous levels (and as someone that spends a lot of their time reading, I usually have very little issue with suspending my disbelief). However, I also cannot stay away long enough to not know what happens next. I need to know where this ends for all the characters.
Again, < b>2.5 stars for this read. There were times where it was all just a bit much.

Gypsy Brother Series by Lili St. Germain Review
Rating: 4 Stars
Quote I love: “Confucius said, ‘Before embarking upon a journey of revenge, dig two graves.’ I planned to dig seven.”
When I first started this series, I was transported into this world of revenge. Juliette Portland had her innocence stolen from her at the age of fifteen and they branded her skin in scars and planned for her to die. Which she did, or at least that is what they believe. She survived though and now at the age of 21 and with a completely different look, she is back for revenge. And her revenge is going to be deadly and bloody because she plans to take out the men that stole so much from her.
Juliette was such an amazing character, I really look up to her. She is strong and so resilient. She suffers so much and each time she suffers and they try to defeat her she comes back stronger than before. Juliette is one of those characters that will stay with me forever. She is the reason this book was so amazing.
Okay, let's talk about the revenge aspect. I could not wait for the revenge scenes because these so-called men needed to get what was coming to them. Some revenge scenes were epic and so planned out, like I seriously had to re-read them because they were that epic. Other revenge scenes kind of fell flat for me, they just didn’t make me feel anything. I just wasn't excited for them which is what I want to feel when I’m reading a romance book about revenge.
All and all this series was captivating and kept my interest so much. Lili St. Germain’s words are beautiful, she had me crying and holding my breath this entire series. Lili St. Germain definitely has my interest and I cannot wait to read more of her books. If more of her books have characters like Juliette and her handsome lover Jase then sign me up because I’m in love.

I don't know what's going on with this series. I used to anxiously await every installment and devour them. Now they have really started getting boring and repetitive. I hope the last one is better...
