Insane!!!!! What in the What just happened!!! This book was crazy, This Couple is EVERYTHING!!! I've been dying to read this since I finished Catfish and it was well worth the wait! I Love this author and her ability to knock you on your a33! Bonafide was a great read full of angst! I can't tell you the number of times I screamed at my kindle! Wade and Reagan have so much happen throughout this book, I'm exhausted. Get ready to have your world rocked! I was blown away! Secrets come out and just obliterate your heart! I could have killed for Reagan and slapped Wade wayyyyyy too many times to count. This book has a lot more going on than the first book, It's still ridiculously sexy, and I think everything flowed well. I was on the edge of my seat and biting my nails off while reading this. My emotions were everywhere and I had lots of mixed feelings, and pep talks to myself that Karma will come! Gah! I'm trying not to give any spoilers. These two characters are so heart-wrenching! I loved their story, it's not an easy one but it's an epic one! This ending was Amazing and it left me dying for more! I'm hooked and have a new most anticipated read! I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

You know the feeling you get when you reach the very top of the roller coaster and you are looking forward to the rush of the drop but at the same time you are holding on for dear life and want to get off of the ride? Those are the exact feelings I had time and time again while reading this book. What Wade and Reagan had to go through from chapter to chapter had me on the edge of my seat. Just when you think you are now safe and can continue reading, you turn the page and BAM, you hit the ramp and start the ride all over again. Stand up and take a bow Hazel Grace, this book was emotionally draining, heart wrenching and harmful to a good nights sleep. You did not disappoint!!

Rea is so annoying I can't take it. Also the "plot twists" were a bit much.

From start to finish, it felt like I was reading a soap opera rather than a romance novel and I just wasn't feeling it. Too much was happening all at the same time and that just made my once hopeful reading experience dwindle down… fast. I won't spoiler it too much but damn, the family drama was a hot mess and the back and forth between Reagan and Wade left a bad taste in my mouth. Sadly enough, I could see the appeal for other readers but this wasn't for me.

Take everything you learned in Catfish and throw it out the window!

Bona Fide, book two of The Illusive Duet, will take you on a wild ride!

This story is gritty, f*cked up and full of surprises that just keep popping up. 

Wade and Reagan's story is anything but conventional. It's not a sweet love story and neither of these two are completely innocent. This is one of the most complex love stories that I've read in a while. 

While I enjoyed the premise of the story, there were several parts that dragged on. Then there were a few revelations made in the second half of the book that I wish were hinted or teased in the first part in order to make that "ahhh" moment for the reader. Also, I feel like these puzzle pieces could have potential to play a bigger part down the road if the author chooses to give us more from these characters. 

All in all, it was a great duet. I can't wait to see what happens next. (Yes - its teased but you have to wait and see!)
