Writing Rissa

I read voraciously...or not at all.

I will love be loving a book/series and something about it will make me mad and I'll put that book down and forget about it for a while. Not quite a DNF, I'll finish it eventually...or not (i.e the ending of Iron Flame (I may or may not ever read Onyx Storm).

That being said, life is to short to read a book you don't enjoy. I do DNF books.

If I enjoy a book, it's a five star read for me. If I gave it less than five stars there is probably something specific I did not like or that bothered me. If I didn't mention it in the review, ask me (I'll probably remember what it was).

"Their love was supposed to last forever. But when life delivered blow after devastating blow, Yasmen and Josiah Wade found that love alone couldn’t solve or save everything.

It couldn’t save their marriage."

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Favorite Quote: (I couldn't choose one, I may update later)

I'm not sure how to start this review...partially because I haven't written a book review in a very long time, but also because this book truly blew me away.

Before I let go drew me in right from the start, I started it while traveling home from BRBF (where I got it signed by Kennedy Ryan herself!) and this book immediately had me in a chokehold. I was trying to read in the dim blue lights on a late flight (I gave up after reminding myself that this is why I wear glasses now), today kept pausing work to read a bit, read through my lunch break, and finally finished it at home after work.

This book was poignant, and beautiful, and real. It was my first Kennedy Ryan read and I am immediately a fan!

As per usual, more below the cut
