the best book in the series plot and OF COURSE THE CHARACTERS!! the thing i didn't really like in the book was how nikki thought it was best to not tell the whole truth and just go away like no they live for dangerous they're the best ones to help duh!!
but overall i loved it, nikki and dex bonding by trauma was sad and heartbreaking but im so happy that together they complete each other and got to grow and had the best development, i knew they could be my favourite!!! but seeing the others in this book and their little found family was also one of the best parts so of course this one is my fave!!
all the fmcs in this series are so inspiring and badass i want to be them so bad!! and oh my these mmc are so down bad for them as they should ehehe
loved seeing a new side to dex, not only the "guffy" and funny side but also the murderous side and the enforcer for the club the darkness in them, like nikki we got to see her killing her demons and overcoming her trauma in a way and finally finding her family and the one person who understands her the best and will be her equal ugh i love them!!!
this series had me by the throat and i loved it every single thing GO READ IT!! check trigger warnings first!!! but so good i had so much fun!

omg im obsessed!!!!!! i to be honest had the time of my life reading this, way better than the first one but equally good and fun and intriguing and so interesting aaa caleb and niko and kenji being all different but oh the same then scar being their match was magical and so good!!! i had so much fun truly I couldn't stop reading!! niko is my fave for sure tho i do love them all!! i want to see them in book 3 ðŸ¤
overall is a fast paced book with romance and some action, again with a badass killer woman who can kill you with her eyes period, and badass men who will do anything in their power to protect their woman and also destroy the world if they have to ehehe really liked it!!

ok i had so much fun with this one!!! gunner and ryan had so much chemistry and so much banter uh it was hot to read indeed! their personalities are really strong and they kinda complete each other and it was so good!!
i think their little romantic moments happened too fast, like him being jealous and feel really protective of her so quickly but again the banter was so good i didn't mind and loved it!! both so protective of each other!! dex was a little bit kinda the funny best friend with a dark side too, really liked him and can't wait for his book!! then uhhh also loved meeting scar i was really intrigued about her and the guys she was with so im definitely starting the second book right away!!
i do stand a woman who kills and ryan was such a badass and when she finally put mario in his place was the best moment!! the plot twists were also really intriguing and so interesting i couldn't stop reading it!! i feel like im a little bit addicted to this series ehehe the writing is good and i had fun and im a little bit obsessed with them yeah!!

4.75
its definitely better than 4.5 and not quite 5 full starts but
the bergman family is the best family ever to exist and miss chloe liese has my heart and soul and i love them all so much i want to be part of this family so bad!!
viggo and tallulah ended up not being my faves, i do love them and their story was so so important between two way different people who learn together and get vulnerable together and help each other to heal and also to grow and it's so beautiful to see!! viggo my romance lover reader is the best man ever but he also had to learn that the romance isn't really like in the books and it can come in soany different forms and feelings and moments and tallulah also learning to love and be loved the right way and not be afraid was magnificent and so glad they had each other truly and tallulah has a family who gives her comfort and love so deeply she doesn't know how is possible but it is and im sooo happy for them they deserve the world!!
seeing all of the other couples in this book was really magical and made me love the book even more, i know it, i know i could love it with all my heart but i truly did and it might not be my fave for sure of the series because always only you exists, it was a good ending tho i need a little novella or short story with all of their povs and like during christmas maybe? uhh chloe liese please think about it!
but this book is so much more than the romance, is about putting yourself out these and trying, is about growth and overpowering the difficult things, is about opening up to people and learning and so much more i loved it, it's so important!! so go read and if you haven't read the series i seriously don't know what you're waiting for!!!

i love lauren layne, her books are always fast paced and fun but this series definitely is not my fave but it still was fun and cute and had sad moments but also big developments!!
clarke and audrey had my attention since the first book and knowing they were fake engagement and best friends to lovers?? i mean everything I love and tho i did like it i wasn't really interested at the end and the whole lying part and the marriage without like a full romantic confession? only at the end? idk wasn't really my thing but oh well, still liked it and audrey and clarke have the chemistry for sure and the friendships are also so good, it was a good book not her best tbh but solid good! audrey finally found her prince charming and clarke finally had the woman who truly saw him!

i will come back to write a better view but i liked it i wish i could've appreciated more but i ended up being so disconnected from the book that it took me awhile to get really into it! i ended up really enjoying it and it was fun and complex and i can't wait to read the second one and see what journey they have to go through but yeah 3.5 isn't bad so i definitely recommend just read better i guess but still excited for the next one!

i will write a better review but i just wanted to say that i really liked it, it feels a little big for my liking and jameson was too rude too many times with emily for my liking too but they were fun and cute and hot and both grow personally and it was good to see, tho they almost made me cry for a moment and also needed jameson to grovel even more than he did but yeah i liked it!! really excited for tristan's book ehehe
