Copy kindly received in exchange for an honest review.

After the ending of the previous book, I really had to know what would happen with Logan and Amanda. Their relationship has been such a whirlwind of intensity and destruction, and I had no idea how Jay McLean was going to bring them back from it all.

I devoured this book, as I've come to expect I will with any of Jay's books. I found this one really delved into their feelings and the events that surrounded certain things which occurred in the previous book.

Logan and Amanda are so good together when things are going well, and it was a bit eye opening in this one to see how their destruction played a role in other peoples feelings as well. There are such great characters in this series, and I can't wait to read more and more about them. I liked how this showed how differently people deal with situations. How they can be in the same place or witness the same thing, yet it affects them in a totally different way.

And Logan, sweet sweet Logan, just really needs some good in his life. He's a decent guy underneath it all, and I totally understand why I've seen plenty of people saying in their reviews that they love him. I do too.

Loved this one from start to finish, and I can't wait to dive into the next book from this series. Always recommend. (Note, this series must be read in order).

Eleventy-three stars✨

I have never been so addicted to a series before. I absolutely love Jay McLean’s style of writing it’s just so addictive and sucks you right in! Reading these books make me so happy, I literally cannot put them down they’re that good!

What I loved the most about Logan and Amanda’s story was how real they are. They’re not perfect. Logan is flawed, funny, sweet and I just loved loved him and Amanda. I think I felt every emotion under the sun, laughed, cried and swooned so hard.

“I don’t think anything, or anyone, is ever going to keep me away from you. I love you way too much. You’re my heart, my world, my light.”

I am so excited for Lucy and Cam’s book, Lucy is literally my favourite character. If you haven’t read this series I highly highly recommend this!

I think we all know that later books in series or the second book in a duology tend to be less good than the first installment. This book is one of the exceptions.

I enjoyed this one so much more than More Than Her. I can definitely see why people are so obsessed with LoganAmanda now. Logan had such amazing character development, I was floored. Their romance turned out to be epic and the side characters were still wonderful. I‘m excited for the next book!

The Ending to this heartbreaking story that have entwined Logan & Miranda together for a painful journey. Logan has returned, still as damaged as Miranda, but there's a difference: Logan's back to fight for the woman he LOVES. Will love truly conquer all? Well, I'm not a spoiler!

Logan and Amanda Part 2 - more ups and downs, more friendship and more feelings. I love it!

Logan did what he thought was best and Amanda is left behind hurt and angry. She slowly learns to understand why he did what he did, gets to know him better through his dad. He fights with being guilty for everything bad happening to her.
Then he's back and with him all the love, hurt and memories.

How good ist this story? These two together are epic! Logan is still so special and Amanda's still such a sweetheart.
I get all the mixed feelings Amanda had while she grew stronger. Her journey of forgiving him was slow and authentic, full of hurt, disappointment yet understanding and love. How this year changed the perspective and how the more she learned about Logan, the more his actions and decisions made sense.

I absolutely loved how naturally they slipped into being back together. And how they still knew their issues and talked about them. All while being all secret because Ethan was uber-protective.

Logans Journal and his development amazed me and everything about what monsters are capable of broke my heart. Logan is simply the best, how he reacted with Heidi was a no but he tries to make it right always, he's not perfect but real and amazing. I knew he had issues but hearing that the Logan we love turned into a broken boy again because of the monsters, really had me...

Big Shout-Out to drunk Lucy, I can't wait for her and Cams story. I just love spending time with these people. Not as fond of Heidi at this point but I want her and Dylans story.
I grew to really like Tyson and enjoyed his little story and hope he'll come back at some point and I enjoyed Ethans story - until the huge freak-out.

Logan and Amanda would have deserved 5 Stars but then it had to escalate
Like he was beat to unconciousness and she was nearly raped. This is for sure something they have to take time and get over. I loved how much drama there was when everyone blames theirselves.
And I get that her brother always was protective and now even more. But seriously? I dont know if Ethan knows all about Logans past at that point but Amanda sure does. And poor Logan, the broken little boy, takes all the beating as punishment.
After everything that happened to Logan having Ethan beat him like that and nearly not mentioning it afterwards is just wrong. Beaiting Logan through the whole story is kind of the wrong direction to take IMO.
I also don't get how worried Ethan can get when she doesn't answer her phone... Like it's been one year and he can't control her no matter what he thinks.

I really hoped that, when she slapped him and he got mad, it would head in that direction, to show how she might be stronger and know how to defend herself but to not randomly run around and beat people. But this is exactly what happens here...

I hope to find out soon on what these two missed out and where things go from here...

Broken and fixed. Amanda and Logan were both broken. Amanda was left by her future, the love of her life, and her everything. She didn’t know why. She just wanted him back. Logan left his girl behind. After that fateful night, he vowed to never be the one to ruin her. When his year is up from Doctors Without Boarders, he returns home. He doesn’t expect Amanda to be there with her arms wide open. He knows the pain he put her through. In the year that he’d been gone, Amanda received one letter from Logan. A letter that number her. A letter that she carried around with her.

Watching these two come back together was...painful, hard to witness, necessary. They needed it. I needed it.

One thing that I love about Jay McLean’s writing is that she adds so much humor, and book references, and perverted jokes. This is what has kept me drawn to this series and her ability to write about these beautiful characters
