Would be higher but I do not understand why he needed to randomly be a drug addict for no good reason.

Jay & Mikka

He’s a celebrity and she is his PA.

I don’t know why but it took me longer than average to finish this book. I just could not get into the storyline. And the very last few chapters happened so fast. As if the author was trying to rush everything together to not make the book so long.

To each their own, maybe you will like it. I’d liked the other Stonewood Brothers, Jay not so much.

No one loves quite like a Stonewood.

This series is the perfect introduction to Shain’s writing.  She writes emotionally thought provoking stories that are so much more than what you expect them to be.  The Stonewood brothers love with everything they have, and are loyal to a fault.

Jay and Mikka are broken, but together they heal and become one.  It’s not an easy road for them, and Shain doesn’t shy away from the sensitive subject matter, she writes them with grace.  You are going to feel every feeling she wants you to feel.

This is just the beginning of my love affair with Shain’s writing.  I flew through these books and I cannot wait to read more.  Do not miss out on these books, just don’t.

for me

This book isn’t what I was expecting it was okay. I wasn’t a fan of the drug use but whatever. There were a little editing errors where paragraph repeated. I loved the man at first but I didn’t like how they were kind of dependent on each other. Like the guy almost relapse just because the girl left. Overall this book just wasn’t really for me. 3/5

DNF

I'm not sure what happened here in this third book. The first two were incredible and well written. I was very excited to read about Jay. I didn't feel chemistry and the story felt boring. Jay already had a female best friend. Writing another felt unbelievable. I stopped at 25%.

TW: abuse and drug use

Booktok turned me onto this book and I am almost sure it will be the last from this author. This book had issues with connection. I turned back pages to reread because I thought I missed something- it was just jumping around. Also, did they even like each other? There was no building their connection. You were told they did and then all of the pages between was of them…not?? Lorraine was the best character in the book.

DNF. The nicknames were awful, calling her “woman” all the time?

This book was inspiring, but wasn't my favorite. I recommend reading this trilogy first to understand better the next books, but it isn't really necessary.
