Inevitably Love. by Love Belvin is another 5-star book from the über talented writer. I am a huge Love Belvin fan because she writes full and complete stories with relatable characters that you can connect with, no matter your reality or current circumstances. Hayden and Ishaan are two very troubled characters, yet you want the absolute best for them despite their bad decisions. This makes for a challenging story that can get really dark and emotional.
I loved the character development for both Hayden and Ishaan. I think this is essential to storytelling and Love Belvin hits the mark every single time. Unfortunately, I am reading Love Belvin's work out of order, so I don't completely know the story of the Jacobs' or the Zyads, but I loved learning the bit that I did learn about Rayna and Sundriya. While many of her books are connected, even if only slightly, Love Belvin does a good job at relating characters without giving away the story involving those characters.
I also hope there's a book about Shi-Shi and Jas because I'm interested in them, too. Oh, and Brielle - such a short segment featuring this character but the interaction she had with Ishaan made me want to know more about her character, too.
Though lengthy, which is to be expected with any Love Belvin book, the story[ies] of Hayden and Ishaan together and separately unfolds at the perfect pace, there's the right amount of action, nothing ends quickly or without explanation, and you get the ending you've been pining for - Love Belvin always rewards her readers.
When I finished In the Meantime..., Book 1 of the 'Complicated Series,' I didn't expect to love it as much as I did and the cliffhanger had me STALKING Love Belvin's website and Facebook group looking for updates regarding book 2. The minute book 2 of the series, Inevitably Love. released, I moved it to the top of my TBR (putting down a new K. C. Mills release - unheard of!) and it was 100% worth it.
I highly recommend 'The Complicated Series' to all fans of Love Belvin, but also to anyone seeking a slow to medium paced romance novel with some dark elements, drama, and just the right amount of spice. You won't be disappointed.
