Ryke and Daisy have fought an uphill struggle in the eyes of the world and their family due to their seven-year age gap. Known as the most daring, fast-paced duo, their next move has always eluded the zealous media.

Behind the scenes, devastating difficulties continue to put Ryke and Daisy's fortitude to the test and create their future together. They pledge to never slow down, to never compromise their identities, and to never give up on their love for one other.

However, protecting their pleasure entails taking on more risks. Connor Cobalt wouldn't even anticipate them. Ryke is no stranger to danger as a skilled free-solo climber, but his next move with Daisy involves more than just his health. Ryke and Daisy go off into the great, untamed unknown, their lives on the line.

No matter how hard I try, I can't help but despise this ship. I think Raisy isn't really for me, and I'm also not a big fan of Ryke. I couldn't appreciate the ship even if the story was tragic and distressing in every way. There were some quotable and memorable phrases, but they just didn't work for me.

I loved the Calloway Sisters and seeing the growth of each sister and their s.o. I will say though that Ryke's and Daisy's relationship was my favorite. This book was emotional and did make me cry a couple of times because of how connected I was to the characters. I loved seeing the development of their relationship throughout the addicted/calloway sisters series and seeing them overcome the hurdles that came along.
