So happy to have found this duology when both books were out. I dont think I could have handled the cliff from the previous book. 
 So much happens. I'm glad they were able to work together to get their HEA. Josie is a bad ass bitch.  
“Theo, we need the world’s biggest moving truck to haul the baggage all four of us bring into this relationship.”

This book! I’m obsessed! Cannot get enough of the story!

Book two definitely doesn’t disappoint with the same emotional intensity as book one but even more heat! The story was so raw and it freaking hurt at times! I laughed. I absolutely cried. I swooned. I kept for joy and begged for revenge. Forbidden really just puts you through the wringer and makes sure you love absolutely second of it!!

Getting to explore even more of the character’s heart wrenching backstories while also gain sing a myriad of new friends/side characters to helped balance out the overwhelming destruction the plot causes your heart to experience. Cam, Theo, and Ben are even more endearing after revealing more of their broken selves and taking care of their omega along the way. And Josie! She has grown so much! She’s truly embodied the inner badass we could all see waiting to be set free in part one!
