Complimentary copy provided by author for an honest review.

Wow, this book is my favorite in the series!!! I absolutely love the Destined Series by Ashley Suzanne, and reading Epiphany brought out so many emotions for all of the characters. Epiphany is the last book in the series, and as much as I don't want to let these characters go, I absolutely loved how this series ended.

Skylar and Mira are the main characters in Epiphany, most of the book revolves around them, but don't worry we still get Danny, Jacoby, and Kylee are all there too. I loved looking back at some of the things that happened in previous books with the glimpses that Ashley provided us throughout, but not being stuck re-reading chapters of the previous books, just enough to remember why you loved (or hated) these characters so much.

Skylar is still hot as ever, and I absolutely love him, but a few times in the first half of this book, I'm like WTF are you doing dude?! DO NOT RUIN THIS! And Mira is Mira, crazy, fun, passionate, and crazy in love with Skylar. I love her character and she reminds me so much of myself, well not the whole falling in love with my fiance's best friend (Mirage) thing, but the rest of her personality, yes. And Mira and Skylar together, OMG, they are hotter than ever. I loved the scene on the motorcycle in the rain.. ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! And will probably never look at my husbands bike again without thinking of the things that can be done on it ;)

Something great happens to Skylar and Mira and then it turns horrible. I think Ashley did an amazing job of describing what Mira goes through during this part of the book, because it is very honest, and you feel her pain and everything else she is going through, during this time in the book.

I loved how this story, well the whole series really, grabs you and doesn't let you go till the last word. Epiphany is no exception to this, it is amazing, but instead of screaming "WTF Ashley why did you screw with my head?!" after finishing it, you are brought to tears, well at least I was. Between everything that happened in the book, and knowing it's the last of these amazing characters that I truly love, it was just an emotional last few paragraphs for me.

The Epilogue of this book is what really did it for me, seeing how everything ends up years down the road, it was just the perfect ending to the perfect series. Seeing these characters grow through out all of the books, and especially this one, was amazing. These characters are ones that will stay with you long after the book is over. You'll always love Mira and Skylar, half an on/off relationship with Danny, and wish for a best friend as amazing as Kylee.

If you haven't read this series, your are missing out. There should be nothing stopping you now that all of the books are released (or soon to be released). These characters, the twists in the plots, the friendships, the writing, everything about this series and this book are superb, and I loved each and every one of these books more and more as I made my way through the series.

I am not one to re-read books a lot, but this series, this series, will definitely be on my list of books to re-read, so make sure you are adding this one to your TBR list. You definitely do not want to miss out on this amazing series by Ashley Suzanne. It will have you in tears, laughing, screaming, saying WTF, crying, and falling in love with a hot biker.

Favorite Quotes:

“You tell me the things that are non-negotiable and I’ll make sure to never ever go against them. Mira, I promise you on everything that I love, I’ll never ruin us. Ever.”

“I do hope that one day I’ll be able to build up some kind of immunity to that sly smile that tells me he’s thinking something dirty.”

“‘I want you because you’re smart.’ I place a kiss to her forehead. ‘Loving.’ A kiss to both eyelids. ‘Beautiful.’ A kiss to the tip of her nose. ‘And most importantly – because if I don’t marry you, I’ll die. You’re my breath, my heartbeat and my soul.’”

“I know more than ever that the other half of my soul lives inside of you and that’s exactly where it belongs.”

“This baby is already pissing me off. She better be super cute and not cry all the time.”


My Review:

Epiphany is a steamy HEA romance reader’s nirvana! Strap yourself down and prepare to ride the full carnival mid-way of emotions with lots of humor, fun banter, angst, drama, conflict, steam, despair, tragedy, and surprises - before it reaches a satisfying and sweet conclusion of the series. But is it really the conclusion? I thought it was… until I noticed mention of book 5 in a listing at the end – oh goody!

This was bitter sweet. Right now I'm an emotional mess. Ashley takes you on many highs and many lows. I can't even really give too much info about the book without giving it away. If you know Ashley at all, you know where she takes the story. It was epic and I am so sad there will be no more Sky and the gang. Skylar is probably in my top 5 favorite book boyfriends of all time. He is the sweetest man ever and he does not disappoint this time around. The way he loves Mira is irrevocable. Mira, I love the girl and always will. I was so proud of her in Epiphany. Kylee I LOVE that girl and all the things she did for Mira and Sky. She gave them the sweetest gift that you can give anyone. Danny, what can I say about Danny boy? he's never been my favorite and probably never will be. We have a love/hate relationship. But towards the end of the book he surprised me and I was so happy when he finally let go. It was beautiful. Of course we know the story ends well because it's the final installment. So it does have a very happy ending. But it takes a while to get there. And the ending is beautiful. I just want a bit more. I felt a tiny bit cheated and I wanted to experience the ending, especially with Sky and with Mira also, they deserve nothing but the best and the best is what they got. Everyone got their HEA and I am so happy for all of them and so proud of the people and characters they became and so happy and proud of Ashley. She is an amazing author and she has a fan for life. There is nothing I will never not love of hers. Make sure you have your kleenex handy, you will need it for the final installment. Simply amazing and beautiful.

"I'd agree a thousand times over. You're my always."

"It's just like us. So beautiful but capable of causing unimaginable damage, but you have to have faith you'll be safe,"

"This is me giving you the parts of your heart I refused to return."

"You're the only one for me. I promise to give you the greatest love story ever written."

"And I don't want to fart in your purse. Keep it up and that's where you're headed."

Where do i start? This book was so amazing. I loved Every word from the very first page to the very last page. She did these characters justice in their HEA Its been quite a journey for Mira and Sky and i couldn't be happier with how things ended up. This book wasn't all rainbows and butterflies and i wouldn't have expected it to be. I cried sad and happy tears through out the whole thing.
Mira and Sky have the kind of love that everyone looks for in life. They may not always have everything figured out or have things go the way they want but through it all they love each other unconditionally. Kylee and Jacoby were perfect and i love that they would do anything for their friends
I just cant tell you enough how happy i am with this book. This whole series was amazing. It will have you saying WTF at times and wanting to never stop reading. If you have not read it go pick it up. I am excited to see what Ashley Suzanne has coming out next.

TEAM SKYLAR!! :)
This book was the perfect ending to a perfect series! I laughed, I cried, I yelled but it was still nothing short of perfection.
I couldn't recommend this book more if I wanted to, the whole series actually has stolen my heart from the very first page of Mirage. Screw the bad reviews everyone should read this series and at least give it a shot. The characters are so easy to relate to and just fall in love with, you won't be disappointed!

This is the conclusion to Mira, Skylar, Danny, Kylee, and Jacoby's story.
Mira and Skylar have had a roller coaster ride of the last few years to finally get to the point of where they are. But is their relationship finally at a good place or is it going to be tested again?
"...I spare a glance at my disheveled appearance and strangely, I feel like I look different. Like I'm finally a whole person, finding the other half of my soul..."
Danny is struggling to heal his broken heart and build his relationship with Melissa. But Danny is given an opportunity of a lifetime, will love hold him back or set him free?
"...I want you because you're smart. Loving. Beautiful. And most importantly - because if I don't marry you, I'll die. You're my breath, my heartbeat and my soul..."
Kylee is finally finding her place in the world, a published author and in love with Jacoby. But is Jacoby happy with the way things are?
"...I promise that you're it for me, there's nobody else and never will be. I know more than ever that the other half of my soul lives inside of you and that's exactly where it belongs..."
Will Mira and Skylar finally have their happily ever after or will their trust in each other be tested again? Will Danny finally find a love to mend his broken heart or will his dream job ruin love for him? Will Kylee and Jacoby turn to each other or turn away from each other? What will happen when tragedy strikes again and turns all of their lives upside down again?
This is one of my favorite series! Ashley Suzanne got me hooked with Mirage! I fell head over heels in love with Skylar! As much as I love this series, Epiphany is my favorite book in this series. Ashley Suzanne takes us on one heck of a journey. She will make these 5 incredible characters apart of your life. You will want to know what happens to them. You will laugh with them, you will cry with them, your heart will break and be mended. You will sit on the edge of your seat, holding your breath and at the end you will set your ereader down with a smile on your face but a sadness that the series is over. I am a total Ashley Suzanne fangirl! I can not wait for her next book release, check out Sapphire on goodreads. But until it's release I give Epiphany a Nerd Alert A++ or 5 stars! I heart Ashley Suzanne hard!

I have been a huge fan of Ashley Suzanne's since the very beginning. I swear her writing gets better and better with each progressing book in this series. This book revolves around the lives of Mira, Skylar, Danny, Kylee, and my man, Jacoby. And as always there's lots of drama! I mean, how can you not have drama in these books??

Syklar and Mira are tested with the ultimate decision and at one point, I kept second guessing myself. I was like, "Holy Smacks! Did that just happen?!!" It's hard to not give anything away because this book was just so damn good! I was a mixed bunch of emotions, straight hormones were all over the charts when I was reading this book.

The author also does an amazing job with providing a little back story to refresh our memories, which was great because sometimes you forget things. I also like the incorporation of Danny and Kylee, even though Skylar and Mira are the main characters. Let me just say that the love scenes were hot, hot, hot!! I swear Skylar was on fire in this book! The author literally paints a picture in your mind like you are actually there, with first class tickets.

Overall, this was a fantastic book and I'm so happy with the way it ended! I even cried, which I hardly do, so that says something about this book. It evokes so much emotion and passion, the reader is literally pulled into this world of characters who deal with some crazy ass s**t, but oh boy, this book is so worth it! And oh yes, Jacoby! I will love him for all eternity no matter what!

I would like to congratulate Ashley Suzanne on writing a great series and I cannot wait to read her next story! Keep up the great work girl! HOLLA!!

Epiphany - a moment in which you suddenly see or understand something in a new or very clear way
Ashley Suzanne has definitely given us an Epiphany. I LOVED Mirage, Inception, Awakening, and Façade… HOWEVER, Epiphany – BLOWS them all out of the water. Ashley concluded this 5 book series giving so much justice (and angst) to her characters. Mira stays always the sweet, loyal, honest, and a ‘lil sex pot just as Skylar stays caveman protective, smoldering hot, loyal, and dedicated to his one and only, Mira. Kylie well that girl is a hot mess that I love to hear from and sexy Jacoby. Kylie never fails to throw the curveballs of life at the group of friends! Danny well… he is Danny…
I kept waiting for a dream; for this all to go back to Mirage and make me lose my ever-loving mind; but I fell deeper in love with all the characters. The trials and tribulation do not fall short in this story; however, the outcomes are so precious. I laughed, I got angry, I cried, and I adored every page cover to cover. READ THIS SERIES…. see for yourself the paths these characters are DESTINED for.

This is definitely not a stand alone. I highly recommend you read the rest of this series first.

What a perfect and beautiful ending to this series. I'm kind of sad because this is the end and I have really fallen in love with the characters. Ashley did a wonderful job wrapping up everything for all of the characters. There were some really tough times throughout the book for all of them. There were also some times that gave me a good, unexpected laugh to cut through the tension that was building up. I was on eggshells the whole time while reading this book because I really just didn't want it to end. I was also scared to see how everything was going to turn out. Would Mira and Skylar stay together or would she end back up with Danny? If Danny doesn't end up with Mira, what's in store for him? Would he ever be happy without her? Would Kylee and Jacoby make it to the end or would Kylee's smart mouth catch up with her? LOL! I'm just going to say I am so happy with how everything ended up. Thank you so much Ashley for this awesome series!!

What a GREAT follow up to this series!

WOW....such an emotional and beautiful story.

I loved Sky from the beginning and this made me fall in love with him even more. He has such a huge heart, so passionate and loves this s**t outta Mira! I love his strong personality but he's also not afraid to show his soft side (but only to her!)

I love Mira and her spunk. She has the greatest personality. She is just as passionate as Sky and their love runs so deep.


This book ran the gamut of emotions. I lol'd, I cried (like a little girl), my heart ached, my heart felt so much love, and I might have even got a little "wet"!

Ashley did an amazing job. The characters were well developed and it continued through the entire book. WOW...I loved it and want to read it again and again. I think out of the books in this series...this is my favorite!

I love reading book series. I always find myself way to wrapped up in the characters, but I'm guessing, that's just what the authors want. When I found out that Epiphany was going to be the last book in The Destined Series I wondered how it would end. And with complete trust in Ashley Suzanne, I knew she wouldn't leave us hanging.

I read it in a day, absolutely could not put it down. Once I finished, I quickly text a friend who I also knew was reading it, if she finished? She hadn't but asked my opinion, I replied, "cried my eyes out, it was wonderful." And it was, and I did.

Well done Ashley Suzanne. Thank you for and incredible series and an excellent ending.

Yet again Ashley never fails a fantastic ending to the Destined series. Im sad to see it end as just fell in love with the characters. If you havent read the others it is a must before reading this book.

I have to say I was a little worried knowing how Ashley is with her other books that we wouldn't get closure but you do in the final book. Yout get the whole gang in this which is nice to see how all there stories play out. I am not one to cry and go figure Ashley was able to make me cry in this book. I couldn't have been more happy with how everything turned out. The friendship Mira, Kylee, Skylar, Danny and Jacoby have is just great to see.

Skylar and Mira's story continue in Epiphany. They are now living together and enjoying their new found happiness. But when truths are revealed can the two lovers continue living in their paradise? Just when life starts to look up, the rug is pulled out from underneath them. They are left feeling stripped and hopeless. Skylar is determined to remind Mira exactly why they fell in love. This book had me crying tears of sadness and joy. Was the perfect ending for this series. Absolutely adored it. Amazing work again Ashley!

Wow! What an ending to this amazing series. This book allows us the final leg of the 4 friends that have matured and proves that anything can happen and heartache can be overcome. I'm sad to see them go but can't wait to see what else she has to offer. Make sure you have tissues on hand because Ashley will have you ballin yet again. The ups and downs will have you on an emotional rollercoaster that you won't want to get off of. This book is hang over worthy.

It is so great to continue on with the lives of Mira, Kylee, Skylar, Jacoby, and Danny, it definitely could not have ended any better. Their stories were wrapped up beautifully although I am sad for it to be over, I just love this group. I don't want to give away any spoilers so I want say anymore but this series is truly a MUST READ!!

This was a great ending to Mira, Skylar, Danny & Kylee's story. The series ended the way it was meant to. Suzanne did a fantastic job with this book. It had drama, laughter, tears, and most of all love. While I hate to see these characters & their stories come to an end, I look forward to future books from Suzanne. Thanks Suzanne for allowing me the pleasure of getting lost in your characters.

As far as I know, this was the final book in the Destined series, and it goes out on an awesome note.

When I first started it, I thought some of it was a little silly in the beginning. After I got a little more in to it, I thought it was great. The characters did show some immaturity and some conclusions felt a little rushed, but all the scenes felt honest and realistic. It's hard to stay in a story when what you're reading doesn't seem believable. That is not an issue here. I like the humor and the different types of love shown throughout.
If there's two things Skylar does flawlessly every damn time, it's fucking and making sandwiches. He's a keeper.

Mira and Skylar have come a long way since the first book. I've loved sharing this road with them.

"It's just like us. So beautiful but capable of causing unimaginable damage, but you have to have faith you'll be safe."

I also want to focus on the friendships. We have great back and forth between Danny, Skylar, Mira, Kylee and Jacoby. Everyone does get in a final word so the reader isn't left hanging on any of that. Something happens that at first I was not liking the way the story was going. I kept reading it and ending up liking it better because it made me step outside of my box on how the perfect story goes. Sorry I'm being so vague, but it would kind of be a ruin to discuss it further.

This is a story about true love and friendship.

Ashley Suzanne's Epiphany is the last book in the Destined Series. Mira and Skylar are together, Kylee and Jacoby are still dating, and she is really fond of his 5 year old daughter, and Danny is with Melissa but is thinking of taking a job in New York.



But Skylar is spending more and more time with the MC and is secretive about what he is doing. Mira is used to not knowing a lot about what is going on there, but he is more closed lip than ever. When she goes to surprise him, the Prez's wife, Kimmy, spills the beans and mentions the name Maddie. Mira's imagination is working on over time now, especially when she finds out he closed the mechanic's shop he owns.



Those worries will only increase as Mira finds herself turning to Danny for comfort. Her mom and Kylee are busy and on impulse, she goes to see him. That will prove to be a big mistake. But there is real heartache and angst waiting for Mira and Skylar with far reaching consequences.



Meanwhile, Danny may be with Melissa, but his heart is still with Mira. Should he make a new life for himself and move to New York? Where will that leave things with Melissa?



When Kylee gets something in her head, it just won't budge. So when she thinks she can help out her best friend she impulsively comes up with a solution. But her decisions now affect more than her life, and Jacoby has strong feelings about the choices she is making.



This final book in the series has just the right amount of angst and heart break. Regardless of their arguments and actions, these characters have a tight circle of love and friendship. Trials and tribulations happen, pass and the sun comes back out again, and always there is the love.

A wonderful ending to a phenomenal series. I'm sad that we have to say goodbye to these characters that I have grown to love. In this the final book, the author gives the characters their HEA and the closure the readers are wanting, but not without some bumps and bruises along the way. Needed a few tissues.

AMAZING!!! Wow, for a while, I was getting mad during this final book and was like WTF!!! If it went one direction with the story the kindle/iPad was going out the window, fortunately it went the other way and I was amazed as to the twists and turns, and way it all ended!!!

No spoilers here, read the entire series! It was one of the best I have ever read!!!
