NONI I met the love of my life in my early twenties. I thought we’d be together forever. Instead, we were ripped apart. Decisions were made without my consent, and I broke. My family put me back together.
Then I met a man. A good man, one of the best. But I couldn’t give him what he needed; I knew deep in my heart that I couldn’t love him like I should because my heart was already taken.
So, I set him free to love another.
I guess there’s more of my mother in me than I realised.
I left.
I roamed the world for years hoping to ease the ache in my soul. Just when I thought I may be healed the last blow landed and I broke again.
The decisions I made had consequences but, in the end, it was my saving grace, and I came back stronger.
This is the seventh book in the Crow MC series. This book does not follow the same path as the others. Noni’s story is different. There will eventually be a happy ending, but it may not be as expected. For full enjoyment and understanding, you may want to read Reaper first. This book is intended for mature readers 18 years and older. It includes sexual situations, strong language, loss of loved ones and a little violence.
Born and brought up in Mazabuka, Zambia. I love all genre's but I'm partial to Shifter, Paranormal and MC. I'm a Virtual Assistant by day and a wordsmith by night. I like coffee and cake, sleeping in and lazy weekends unless my husband drags me to a rock concert. My husband is my inspiration for all my male characters and why I'm a believer in love at first sight. We have been together for 29 years. I'm a big believer in family not always being blood but the people you bring into your life and that people come and go in your life as they are needed.
Noni's story along with Bull's was a beautiful heartbreaking story. There may be some spoilers in this review I apologize. Noni was grieving for the loss of her husband who was in jail a different type of grief because she never got closure on why he divorced her and no contact. She was suffering from unbearable heartbreak with memories. Bull was her go to guy. She let him go. Reading how through the years Noni with her travels, Bull falling in love, the friendship Noni had with his wife brought a lot of tears to this readers eyes. Then Bull's grief was overwhelming. But Noni character did not allow him to sink in depression. Through their shared grief they reconnected. Their second chance. Michelle Dups wrote their story were each reach word and emotions could be felt through each chapter. This was a beautiful love story from beginning to end. Brilliant Michelle Dups Brilliant.
I honestly don't know how to feel after reading this. I mean how do you come back from losing your heart? How do you find what you aren't looking for in a world of chaos.
Noni one of the strongest members of the Crow MC had a sadness about her. A sadness that would not let her live, laugh, or love. Not knowing if she could heal herself she set out on a quest to do just that. After several long years Noni finally finds her way.
Enter Bull. Having gone through things similar to what Noni has gone through he finds himself not knowing how he can care for his children and go on with life. They begin their life again and everything comes full circle.
I loved the plot of this story. The characters added to the story in their own ways. I love feel of this story the way that it draws you in and then spits you back out only to draw you in again. If I could give more than a five stat rating it would be a ten.
A note before you start Noni's book make sure you have a box of tissues within reach because you're going to need them. this is a book is about being so buried in grief but finding the strength to dig yourself out of it and still have the compacity and compassion to help those that are dear to you. this is a must read and one of the best books about losing love but being able to find it again in another person. If I could, I would give it more than five stars. I can't wait to see what the next chapter for our beloved Crow MC is up to next.
Noni met her true love, Rhett O'Shay and they got married but things didn't work out like they planned. Noni, a true Crow woman loves for life. It made it so hard to start over, but she started a relationship with a club member named Bull, a really good man. But she couldn't give him her heart with her husband still on this earth. So she set it up for Bull to find another love. Noni leaves her family and county and travels the world for years. Bull marries his new love who is Nonis friend and starts his life. Noni meets a man one night and two ships passing has lasting results for both of them. Bull's life tragically changes and so does Noni's. She made a promise to Bulls wife, her friend to watch over him and their children. Can it ever be more, or will Noni end up with someone else.. This book was Michelle Dups best yet in the Crow MC series and I can't wait to see where she takes it! I wish I could give 10 stars.
Wow just WOW. I really don't think there is a better way to react to this book. Michelle Dups has brought us an amazing installment of Crows MC. This story was told in such a way that it honored Bill and Noni. Their love and their heartbreak and their heart mending. Life isn’t always champagne wishes and caviar dishes. Bull and Noni have history and with that history comes joy and tears. Noni and Bull’s story was never going to be an easy one, but it is one that will be treasured. This book has all the feels. It has surprises as well. I can’t wait to see what happens next. I recommend this book it is truly amazing.
What an awesomely beautiful read Noni was. I absolutely loved Noni and Bulls story ❤️❤️❤️ This book was an epic journey into Noni’s life, every up and down, every loss and gain. At times it made my heartbreak 💔 with deeply felt emotions but there was also the sweet beautiful moments that gave me joy. I was kept entertained throughout the whole novel, it’s a definite page turner so I 100% recommend this book to everyone ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ you will not be disappointed 😎
I can only use adjectives like amazing, wonderful, intense, beautiful! This book brings everything around, within Noni's life, in the absolute best way. This is an epic tale of love, loss, love again and friendship. I laughed and I cried, it had all the feels as the best books do. This book is an absolute masterpiece! I loved everything about it! ❤️❤️❤️
What a fantastic read. Suggestion: READ WITH A WHOLE LOT OF TISSUES. Trust me, on that one.
Noni is one of the strongest female characters I have EVER read. She is everything we could hope to be in our lives, sassy, beautiful, kind-hearted, and bada#se.
Bull is an alpha male with a huge heart and is ruled by love for his brotherhood and family.
This book will not leave you dry eyed or disappointed it is filled with heartache, love, great banter, and more heartache topped with a big one HEA.
This was my favorite of the series yet. So much heartbreak and sadness but also finding happiness even if it takes many years. Love doesn’t have a set timeline and Noni and Bull find that to be true. Loss and sadness are the most painful feelings but with a special bond you can get through anything.
This was a heartbreaking and heartwarming story and the tissues come in handy. The story line flows well enough and you definitely want to know what is going to happen next, but there are quite a few editing issues throughout, and it does at times take away from the story. Noni is a strong character and just an all around sweet person. Sad for her Rhett. Yay for her and Monroe. Awesome for her and Bull. Happy reading!!
This book will be one I return to again and again. Seeing Noni navigate through her grief is heart-breaking and uplifting at the same time. I think this is one of the best books I've read in the last five years. It deserves more than five stars.
I don't think I have ever cried so much reading a book! The emotions I felt while reading Noni's story were overwhelming, yet not enough. I don't think Noni's story could have been written any other way!
Wow Michelle Dups sure knows how to tell a story I was so looking for word to Noni’s book and it did not disappoint an emotional rollercoaster of Love Loss and second chances read it you won’t be disappointed you will need tissues 💕
Wow, I don't know where to start with this book. Tissues will definitely be needed. This author hits you with all the feels, rips your heart out, then puts it back together. Amazing read. Recommend this entire series.
This was fantastic! I haven’t read a story like this in a while that touched me so much. You can definitely feel the emotion the author was trying to convey between these characters. It was a beautiful love story. I was so engrossed in the book that I didn’t want it to end.
I usually don’t read the end notes but for some reason I did and I’m so excited that the Zambia crew will be getting their our series!!!!
A great story, fills in alot of blanks as well as the move to Zambia. Now Bond’s book make sense. There are several lazy errors that the proofreader should have caught ( i.e. if/ it) but over all an amazing book and was very hard to put down.
This book is certainly different to the other Crow books, but excellent. Be warned you will need tissues. I cried in a few places, there were some heart wrenching scenes. But the story was wonderful and flowed well and there was action too. So worth the read.
From the cover pic to the epilogue this was a sweet and special book. Dups writes family goals stories that draw you in with the storylines and hook you with the strong, supportive female characters who stand powerfully for their idea of forever families. Noni went through relatable heartache and then took us along on her journey to happiness. I loved that she has an open heart and giving nature even while making her way to love and peace on her own terms.
This is definitely not your typical MC story; it takes twists and turns that you don’t see coming. This second chance HEA is so gripping that it will keep you reading well past your bedtime. This story was amazing and heartbreaking. It was painful at times, but very realistic. I absolutely loved that Noni and Bull finally got their HEA with each other, but not after they had to go through a lot of drama, heartache, and danger. The characters were well developed, and the scenes were very descriptive. I can't wait for the next Crow to find his HEA.
This was a great read. I have to say it was hard to read at times. But to watch them over come so much was great. Can not wait to see what happens next.
Well this book was a heart wrenching journey, but oh so worth it. What a beautiful person Noni is. Her journey to her happy was bumpy but she got there.
What an amazing and heartwarming story. You get taken on a ride through all emotions and you enjoy every emotion as well. The characters are amazing and I love the link between the series. Can’t wait for more
A new chapter, new beginnings, regrowth, brilliant. Ending sewn up nicely and refining the small cracks in one life, Miz Dups has perfected her book writing craft.
Love this book and it's series and would recommend it to anyone who loves to read about MC life and their families and friends and the writer is awesome
I enjoyed this seventh book in the Crow MC series. Both Noni and Bull have had plenty of heartbreak over the years but find their way back to each other in the end.
