A review by sslovesbooks_1
Grip by Kennedy Ryan

5.0

This book has Bristol and Grip in each other's lives but not as lovers and not as either would really want. Their lives and changing relationship take centre stage and the challenges I knew they would face are all too apparent.
Grip - what can I say !! - he is a man utterly, completely and irrevocably in love with Bristol. He is a man you feel empathy for and I spent so much time reading the first half of this book willing him to get what he wanted and for him to be happy and content with the love of his life. His internal thoughts just made me love him all the more, he is perfection on so many levels.
Bristol - her denial of her feelings and her pushing him away at every opportunity for such a long time had me asking "what are you thinking gal?"
The exploration of race and Bristol's continuing determination to understand his world led to discussions of history within the US and as a history teacher this educated me further which enhanced my understanding more fully.
As usual this was beautifully written, it is romantic, spicy and able to give all the feelings you would expect from a stunning romance.
If you have not read this, then you are missing out.
Kennedy Ryan isan author I have found this year and I cannot believe I have been missing out. Whatever she writes is exceptional. !!!
