Love is not static, it is an action word. What would you be willing to do for the person or persons you love? I could go on and on about the details of this amazing book. I could use all the descriptive words like:
Emotional
Painful
Loving
Fearful
...... and on and on
But I am not going to.
I want this book to be the words.
I want our Biker Poet to say the words to you fresh.
I want everyone to jump back into the Fallen Men and have the same life altering experience that I had.

“Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along.”- Rumi

I highly recommend this book and the entire series.

king and cress. i enjoyed this a lot more than i thought. i adore king, have since his first book. and to get his pov? absolutely fantastic. he's head over heels in love with cress, possessive of her. i love that he's this biker who's obsessed with reading and poetry. i bawled... let's not discuss that.. yet another book in this series that i'm sobbing over. giana really got me in my feels with these men and their girls

TWs at the end of my review

Despite the author’s note AND the plethora of clues, I was still effing WORRIED this entire book. It’s a testament to Darling’s writing (or maybe a testament to the scope of my general anxiety) that I was on the edge of my seat, despite the many assurances of an HEA.

In all seriousness I loved the beautiful ride this story took me on. It moved me to tears to see Cress and King blossom in their love for one another and the way the supporting cast of characters came together at the end to grieve and rejoice in equal measure. The author does a wonderful job illustrating grief and love as two sides of the same coin. Also… I LOVE King. His reflections on waiting his whole life to love Cressida, even before he knew her name or face…
Like a lot of the other reviews I’ve seen on GR, I’m pretty much speechless.

TWs (may not be complete, contains spoilers)

Violence/Gore
Attempted SA
Drugs
Death of a spouse (don’t freak out)
Depression

4.5 I loved this book so much!
I fell in love with King and Cress in the first book so I was so glad to be back reading about them.
Their relationship is so cute and heartwarming. I swooned so much whilst in King’s pov because of how he talked about Cress. He just adores her so much and he really becomes a man in this book. Cress was also really developed in this book and she became a true biker babe. I also absolutely loved the family element to this book with the whole MC being a giant family. Their interactions with everyone was truly amazing. I also loved the side characters liked Priest, Wrath, Nova, Ares etc. I also loved seeing characters from the previous books like Daddy Zeus! *wink*
The last part of the book had me full on crying and Gianna Darling is so cruel for doing that to me!
I can’t wait to read the next one!
