I love the Rydeville series so much and have enjoyed getting to know all of the characters. This epilogue was so special as it gave us a chapter point of view for each of the main characters to see where they were at. The joys, struggles, love and heartbreak. I am so impressed by how Siobhan was able to weave together all of their chapters into a cohesive storyline as well as tie in characters from her others series. It is so hard saying goodbye to these characters I love, and I would be ecstatic if we got to continue Rydeville with the younger generation. I'll just have to start a series reread to get my fix.
It’s so hard to say goodbye to a world that I absolutely loved it’s one of my first reads by Siobhan Davis and favorites. This was an emotional ending to a fan favorite series it was so good seeing past couples that were beloved characters and their children there is tears of joy and sadness laughter and love . I loved getting one last hurrah with this crew and can only hope that this is not the last we see from them. Mrs Davis worked her magic again! Loved it ! Sad but happy great ending to this phenomenal series!
This is the story I didn't know I was waiting for. It brought back the love I felt while reading this series and I have to say, this was the perfect way to end the series. I loved the way we got to catch up with each couple and their children, hearing about their pains and how the other couples were there to help in any way they could. My question to Author Siobhan Davis is, will there be a spinoff series of the children? That would be awesome and we would still get the parents too. I have loved this series from the beginning and hate to see it end. I highly recommend reading it from the beginning; you will not understand what is going on if you skip around. You seriously don't want to miss a thing because this series is one of the best I have read.

Ahhhhhh this was exactly what I hoped for in this epilogue. This book is Book 9 in the Ryderville elite series and cannot be read as a standalone, must read previous books. This book takes place 6 years after book 8, Drew. I love that Siobhan included a family tree in this book. This book just gave me all the warm fuzzy feelings.
The Ryderville Elite series is one that has sucked me in from the very beginning with Abby and Kai and has had me in a choke hold ever since.
This Novella may be short but it packs a punch. It delivers so much whether it’s marriage, parenting struggles, or just the intensity of their friendships and bonds.
I love the fact that all the main characters got chapters, told from their PoV so you can see their thoughts and feelings. The minor characters that didn’t have chapters, but were present in this series were still a part of the book in some sense, like Roman being on his photo shoot.
This was one way to end this amazing series and to gift wrap it with a bow for one last dance. I look forward to seeing if we get any crossover or second generation books from Siobhan, you never know with her
Thank you to Siobhan for this amazing series and for making me a part of your journey… I’m sure gonna miss these characters.
I was so excited to be immersed back in this world with some of my most favorite characters, but heartbroken knowing it was the end! The emotions were all over the place. Two of my favorite characters of all time are Kai & Abby! Reading their book for the very first time opened up a whole new world of dark and bully I never knew existed or needed! To get the updates and see where they are now was exciting and like coming home! I know this is intended to be the end for all these characters, but I would read any spinoff that came from these books in a heartbeat.
To have created such a memorable world in these unforgettable books, Siobhan should pat herself on the back for a job very well done! This will be a forever favorite of mine and I have every intention of rereading this series every couple years to keep them locked in my heart and mind.
I recommend this series often and to all my friends, and the new book friends I make. I suggest starting at book 1 and bingeing the hell out of them until you've read them all! You can thank me later for the recommend! 😉😈
It has been a hot minute since I’ve read these books. But this epilogue left me wanting more. I need more of the kids now. And I’m really really hoping we get it.
I love Siobhan’s work and I love these characters and getting to see these characters grow up and age and raise their own children has been amazing.
Congratulations Siobhan on another amazing release I can’t wait to see what you do next x
I loved this!!! We got insight into all the characters and it was Hot Hot Hot, and so sweet with the little ones. We get to see scenes where some characters are struggling, but they always come back together. I truly enjoyed this!
I finished this novella a few days ago but trying to process the goodbye hasn’t been easy. I started reading this series when it first started and I never could’ve imagined what it became. I fell so in love with all these characters and how each couple complimented and completed one another. Getting to “catch up” with them and see their love still shine has me giddy and beyond happy.
Davis did such a beautiful job with each couple and told their stories in the most exciting and entrancing ways because each book consumed me. This “Goodbye” doesn’t feel permanent but even if it is I can say I’m happy with how it all turned out in the end.
I loved diving back into this world. As This was the first series that I received an ARC for way back in the day lol. After I read book 1 I was hooked on Siobhan Davis and I never looked back. Since then I’ve read several different authors that are really great but Siobhan is still one of my go to authors that I would and have read anything they have write or have written. She is that amazing people. I don’t even have to read the epilogue or the blurb before reading her books because I know that even if it’s not something I would usually read…because it’s her…I know without a shadow of a doubt that I will read it and live every moment of it. She isn’t afraid to write about the taboo and the things that knock the wind right out of you. The things that are debated by most and she just takes off with it. Okay I could talk all day and night about how amazing a writer Siobhan is but let’s get back to the book at hand. This series is near and dear to my heart and I’ve read every single one of them with bated breath and sometimes a sob in my throat. Reading about how everyone is doing years later is awesome. I really hope she continues to on this path and writes about the kids. Another favorite of mine is how she crosses her worlds and we get an update on the other series too such as the Kennedy brothers. An update on Kevin was really nice as it’s been awhile since he’s been mentioned. Now to read about the kids that would be awesome. Not to mention Charles sister…that was…a nice surprise btw Siobhan…I wanna see where that goes and how Charlie handles it…I need more of this world. I loved it. So so much. As I said so much so that I need more!!!!
A fond, emotional, and utterly perfect farewell to one of my favorite Siobhan Davis worlds! From the first book to this last novella, the Rydeville Elite has been such a wild ride. Crazy twists, juicy manipulation, the most epic drama, and beautifully flawed and unforgettable characters have made this series the perfect page turner. But at the heart of this series are the amazing emotional connections between this wildly entertaining crew. The chemistry, the emotional angst, the HEAT- it's consuming. And Siobhan highlights all of what makes these characters magical, and human- even in their HEA bliss. It's an epilogue for fans, a glimpse into the post-HEA (and post all the Rydeville drama) lives of these characters we rooted for, we fell for, and we still adore. It's the perfect tribute to the depth of this series, to each of it's wonderful couples/pairings, and just how they've matured and evolved not only into their romance but into themselves. This one brought ALL the feelings- and all the heart. A fantastic edition and just that extra dash of closure to this world that will forever be a favorite.

It was great to dive back into the lives of the elite and their families!!!! We got to see how years later they were working through marriage, kids, the elite. I loved seeing that they were all still together and showed real problems that we face in everyday life.
Now the question is, will there be a spin off? 🤔 I would love to see how their kids grow and if they follow the path to the Elite.
It really was great to be back in the world that really kicked off my love for rather dark romance. I was initally shocked by the content when I read book 1 but by the end of it, I was hooked. And for me, the rest of the series has been just as engaging. I have said it before and I will say it again, the Rydeville Elite series is a seriously dark romance and if you have any triggers, this is probably not for you. If you do decide to dive in, please check content warnings.
With the timeline overall being, give or take 23 years or so, it was awesome seeing the original couples again with their families and friends and what they have all achieved in that time. I think Abby and Kai will always be my favourite couple but I have come to love Drew almost as much.
This could just be wishful thing but there does appear to be a couple of stories left open for further possible expansion and I for one, would love to know what was going on with Abby and Kai's oldest son Oli. And then there was also Charlie's sister Lillian. IYKYK!!!! That story would definitely be interesting!!!
I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed for these stories, and many others because I am not ready to say goodbye yet. Could it be at all possible we get a next generation series???? Please????
The epilogue takes place 6 years after the end of Drew’s story. It’s a happy ending for all of them, but what is life without the roller coaster thing called relationship, emotion and feel. Certainly though they have battled with the ‘monsters’ years ago and finally got an end for it, they still have issues arises such as parental issue, marital, infertility, miscommunication, etc. Tbh, though it has several back stories of the 2nd gen kids, it’s just Oli and Arlo that personally intrigue me. I actually very fond of Arlo, because the thing that he wants to do, that’s the thing that he know for sure, needs to do, at least for himself. This series is by far one of the greatest series that I’ve ever read. I know for sure that years later, I don’t know when, I will take a look back to their painful, saddening yet beautiful stories, again. Gosh, I can’t believe that I need to say goodbye with the Rydeville team. Thank you to the author to create a wonderful friendship turns into family, with the character of Abby, Kai, Drew, Jackson, Sawyer, Xavier, Charlie, Rick, Zayn, and all of the other characters I can’t mention one by one (that would be a lot). It’s been such a pleasure to immerse and connect with them for 20+ years of their lives.
This epilogue is set 6 years after the epilogue of "Drew" and so the gang got again few years older, as did all their children. And it's A LOT of children 🙈
Most of the couples are married for 20 years by now, and it's so wonderful to see they still are so much in love with each other.
This book isn't dark anymore. The Elite has changed a lot in all these years. It was a hard way, but they managed it 🩷
With so many couples, it's no wonder there are a ton of children around when they all come together. And because they are still all family, they are together a lot 😍 I won't spoil here, so I don't name the person, but I loved that there is one mother who loves to be a grandma, and she is the grandma for ALL the kids, 🩸 related or not 🩷 And she can't get enough grandkids. I think she is already hoping for great-grandkids 🤣😎🙈
I know I still have A LOT of books to read by Siobhan. And I hopefully will read a few more this year. But I also know I can't read them all, so I'll still have some left for next year 😎
Siobhan is definitely one of my auto-read authors 🩷
This is a beautiful epilogue for fans of the Rydeville series. Every major character is highlighted as the book flows from one couple to the next flawlessly. It is the perfect story that allows readers to catch up on where everyone is at in their lives, their children, or additional extended family members, and to see - especially with this group - how they were all cohesively surviving after surviving the Elite take down. It was the icing on the cake.💕
I loved how it touched on a specific or special moment within each couple, but then as the book went along the characters all continued to check in or talk about these highlighted moments between one another. What always made these books so special is that this group was one big found family. This is what made this epilogue feel like a wonderful love letter bestowed to us readers who have adored these characters from the very beginning. I still never wanted to leave and hope there could be more, a second generation perhaps, in the future.😍
I can’t believe it was nearly 6 years ago that I first began reading Abby and her man’s story and now it’s the end of a chapter for them and their found family. It was bittersweet and I’m so happy I got to see them at a later stage in their lives. I loved the glimpse of happiness for the couples beforehand that I got to read in the last two books, but I loved getting to see Drew, Zayn and their ladies both years on in this epilogue. I loved every second reading this book, it reminded me how much I love these characters and their stories, and seeing them again has made me want to reread the series all over again. I’m wishing so hard for spins off, I love this world and I’m hoping we get to see cameos of the characters in other books. If you haven’t already then definitely pick this series up, it’s one of my favourite dark romance series.
To say I’m sad to see these characters go is an understatement. I’ve been hooked since the first sentence of Crue Intentions. Abby and Kai reeled me in and I couldn’t get enough of everyone. Charlie and Demi, Jackson and Nessa, Sawyer and Xavier, Drew and Athena, Zayn and Emery, and Sandra all made this world what it is. You have to read all the books before you get to the conclusion. I loved the Rydeville Epilogue and how you got a look into each characters lives in the future. You got to see them struggle in their adult lives as parents or as partners. I was not disappointed in some of the steamy scenes! There were so many relatable instances that just drew you in and made you sympathize with each person. I know Siobhan says this might be the last we hear of these characters but I hope not. I could definitely go for the kids stories if they ever become thing.
For those who loved the Rydeville Elite series this is just a wonderful little cherry on top!!! This epilogue takes place six years after Drew's story ends and we revisit all of the couples that we have previously fallen in love with throughout the original books. With a section dedicated to each of the couples the story flows beautifully and is so well written that I'm sad to see this series come to an end. I'm hoping that the next generation will make special appearances in other books in the future because I don't think I'll ever get enough of these characters. Each of them are facing different challenges that come with adulthood and having a family of their own and I absolutely loved the way that their core loyalty and love for each other shines through with fierceness, passion and humour. Fantastic conclusion to an epic series!!!
✨Big Epilogue ✨6 years after the end of Drew ✨1st person Multi POV
I don’t know if I’m happy or sad.. I’ve been following this series since the beginning, and saying goodbye to these characters is breaking my heart, but healing me with a bittersweet balm at the same time ?
Siobhan kept faithful to her story and characters , not everything was perfect for them, their struggles were real and painful as real life is ..
In a way I’m glad this is over , but just in a way.. I won’t say no to a spin off about some of these kids 👀.. but it’s been so long since I’ve been following them… Siobhan closed the door in the best way possible.
Wow, the teenagers we first started reading about in the first book are now in their forties! What a delight to see them all settled up in domestic bliss with their fabulous wives (and one husband), kids ranging from early twenties to not yet teens. Happy times!
Initially, I thought this was a bridge to a new series because there are issues among the couples or some teens, but no, it’s just an update and ends in family celebration. It was cool to see these marriages with everyday problems like stroppy kids, cute kits with great attitudes, talented kids, all the variety you get in real life. video games, pool parties, movie nights, and all kinds of family time.
It felt like a celebration of all those Rydeville kids who had such a stormy start and they’re now set into their lives, still together, still very much friends. Cheesy and sexy, I love it!
“As long as we have family and friends, we’ve already won the lottery.”
All the main characters are back in this multi-POV novella set 6 years after Drew. I was so ecstatic that for the first time we get Shandra and Rick POV’s! I loved all the hints for possible future spin-offs, so I really hope Siobhan is inspired to write them 📚
I can’t pick a favorite couple but watching all of them as adults and dealing with life as partners was beautiful. This quick read was full of love, life and intimacy 🫶🏼
I appreciate Siobhan so much as an author for giving us these future moments with characters we are obsessed with! She always takes care of her readers, even by including the little chart showing all the character and children ages and names.
When a well-loved series such as the Rydeville Elite series comes out with an epilogue it feels like catching up with old friends. Lives that are far from perfect but filled with love and support are showcased in this epilogue touching base with the hard earned love of each of its characters. Through thick and thin this tightly knit group of friends and family navigated the good and bad in life and seeing that they are all still standing and conquering whatever life throws at them is the best reader high you could ask for!
Well done Siobhan Davis and thanks for a glimpse into the lives of a cast of characters that has left its mark on the hearts of your readers. The Rydeville Elite Epilogue is not a maybe but a must for fans of this series!
*I was given an advanced copy. All opinions expressed are my own.* *This book is part of a series and it is necessary that the previous books in the series be read first.*
Now how do I review a novella that is last goodbye to an epic series that introduced to me to Siobhan Davis and her words and made me a life long fan? How do I say adios to this explosive world where secrets, twists, heartbreak, passion and true love kept me enthralled for last five Years? But every great thing comes to an end. This epilogue is the perfect goodbye though. We get to meet all the couples from the Rydeville Elite and even some from the Kennedy world. We meet their older versions. They have kids now and some of the kids are in the college and those kids are going through their own issues. We see that the legendary couples are still very much deep in love and their chemistry is still scorching hot as ever. But we also see their real troubles and struggles. The men are still alpha and edgy and command all the attention. They have matured and may be not as explosive as before because they have settled but they are still dangerous. Their women still rule their hearts. They are still sassy and fierce and they are giving that to the next generation. I felt tears coming so many times. Mostly because they are so blissfully happy after the battles they went through and partly because I will miss them.
Welcome back to all the drama of the Rydeville Elite. Did ya miss them? I know I did 😉. Set six years after DREW, we get to see our crew all grown up dealing with *all* that entails. This novella doesn't disappoint. Adulting is hard, and our friends are dealing with many of the hardships that so many others go through - marital issues, fertility, parental pitfalls. I loved getting to see the next generation and how Abby, Kai, Drew et al parent. Get ready for LOTS of emotions, and of course a perfect dose of drama. The perfect prescription 😉. It goes without saying this is NOT a standalone read. You *will* be lost if you haven't read the previous books in this highly addictive series. I loved every moment of revisiting with these characters. They feel like old friends, so it was fun catching up. I didn't want it to end.
I can’t express strong enough how much I loved this series! To me, it’s one of my very favorite, ever. So, this much awaited epilogue was the cherry on the top of the cake. I loved seeing how some of my all-time favorite book characters navigate through life. The unbreakable bond among them is still there. Of course, this couldn’t be a Ms Davis novella if angst, problems and agony wasn’t part of it. Not everything is perfect, because life isn’t perfect. Our beloved couples have new problems to face, but Family is what matters the most. Everyone is there to support one another. It’s heartwarming. I cling to hope that Ms Davis will come back to this amazing world one day and give us more stories, about the next generation perhaps. This series was an unforgettable rollercoaster ride that worth every tear, every emotional moment, every feeling of satisfaction that followed. I can’t recommend it strong enough – and this epilogue was a welcomed treat that I couldn’t put down and devoured it within a couple of hours. 5 stars from me, unquestionably.
Siobhan Davis delivers the perfect farewell to the Rydeville Elite series with this emotional and drama-filled epilogue. I loved revisiting these unforgettable characters as they faced new challenges, parenting struggles, marriage conflicts, and heartbreaking moments. Each couple’s journey felt real and deeply emotional, reinforcing the bonds that made this series addictive. The multiple POVs added depth, allowing me to connect with every storyline. The special celebration was a beautiful touch, bringing everyone together in a way that felt both nostalgic and satisfying. Packed with love, heat, and heartfelt moments, this novella is a must-read for fans. It’s the perfect way to say goodbye while leaving the door open for future possibilities.
I’m going to miss this world, but enjoyed the trip back so much!
As hard as it is to say goodbye to this series, Siobhan Davis wrapped it up with a perfect bow for us with this novella. Jumping 6 years into the future (from Drew), we get to revisit all the couples, meet their children, and experience how they stayed a part of one another's lives. While this is a novella, you get a lot of story and will be left feeling satisfied by the end.
If you've read this series, you have a deep connection to these couples and are invested in their futures. I'm so glad we were able to come back to this world one more time and satiate our love for this world.
I will be beyond happy if we get a spinoff series with the kiddos. That would be epic!
TITLE: Rydeville Elite Epilogue GENRE: Dark Romance AUTHOR: Siobhan Davis TYPE: Series (Rydeville Elite #9 Optional Novella) POV: Multiple POV MY RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 5
I loved revisiting the Rydeville Elite world and catching up with some of my favourite couples in this quick-read novella. The Rydeville Elite Epilogue had a bit of everything: drama, emotions, spice, and the banter I have loved throughout this series. Honestly, I burned through this novella in a single sitting. If you have enjoyed the Rydeville series, then you will enjoy this epilogue, which provides the closure and moments I did not know I needed until I read it. I am giving a rating of 4 / 5 stars.
What a way to end an already phenomenal series ~ If like me you loved The Rydeville series then you’re going to love this extended epilogue.
This epilogue reminded me of why I fell in love with this series to begin with & I have loved being back in the Rydeville world. It was like reuniting with long lost friends & catching up with them.
They may not all be related by blood, but they’re platonic soulmates. They have been through the toughest of times together. Showing each other what true friendship is. Now they navigate their way through adulthood with teenagers of their own. Teenagers can test their parents like nobody else. They can face any problems or situations as long as they’ve got their family & friends around to support & love them.
If you loved the Rydeville series then this is an absolute MUST read 📚
I feel like we haven’t seen the last of some of these characters ~ I’m hoping we might see them in a future crossover or second generation book. Thank you Siobhan for giving us a book many of us didn’t know we needed. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
MY REVIEW: It’s so good to be reading something from the Rydeville elite world again. This epilogue wraps up the series perfectly. I will always be a huge fan of this world and Siobhan Davis’s writing. Did you ever find yourself wondering what their future would look like after “Drew” released into the world? I sure as heck did. Now we truly get to see what their lives turned out like and I could not be happier.
This epilogue is told from multiple POV’s as each couple is dealing issues. I love how each couple in the series has grown and how they rely on each other for support. How they communicate with their spouses. I could not think of ending more perfect than this. Each couple in this series will forever hold a special place in my heart. I throughly loved this epilogue, fans of the series will definitely love this too.
