I absolutely LOVED listening to this book!! We met Sy and Holly both in book one and kind of got a feel for their chemistry, but River knocked it out of the park with this one!! 

This is a book about grief and loss, overcoming hard shit, and finding yourself again! Sy and Holly both have trauma and baggage to work through and overcome, and River wrote it exceptionally well! The way you watch these two grow, and develop a relationship, all while facing off with their own demons, is utterly breathtaking! 

Holly and Sy go through it; their HEA is not easily won, but the journey to get there is honestly so good! I loved seeing them work through all that happened to themselves both separately as well as together; I loved seeing Sy step up and commit, and I loved seeing Holly finally find herself again! 

This was a fun audiobook experience and I’d definitely recommend it if you’re looking for an MC Romance! That being said, this is part of a series and I highly recommend reading book one first!
