Journey of Love #2
Undeniable Love
Tristan Williams thought the path of his life was on the right journey. He had a successful career, good looks, and a carefree lifestyle. One conversation changed Tristan’s way of thinking forever as his father presented him with a bottle, representing his journey and forcing unwanted thoughts of a lasting relationship to the surface. Running from the fear of commitment, he pushed away the only woman he ever had feelings for and turned to the one girl he knew he didn’t love.
Ryn Webster was finally putting her past behind her. Moving to Texas and concentrating on the success of her own company, she had her life almost where she wanted it. One thing was missing though…love. She thought she had found love with Tristan until he casted her aside.
After being hurt by Tristan, Ryn does whatever she can to push him from her heart, even if it means being with a man she doesn’t love.
Regardless of the path one thinks they are on, the journey of life can cause unexpected turns, altering the planned course. Will Tristan and Ryn’s bottle be tossed about, lost in the rocky waves of life? Or will calm seas prevail to help Tristan and Ryn finally find their journey of love…together?

That’s why it’s love—it’s unconditional.
Whether you commit amistake or a hundred,
I would still love you.
They say the most romantic kind of love
is the unfinished kind.
The kind that will forever burn and mark your soul.

CONTAINS SPOILERS .. proceed with caution!
I can't believe I'm writing this but .. I wish this novel had ANOTHER outcome. Sure I know that Tristan and Ryn were ment for one another and all .. HOWEVER I didn't want them to end up withone another. I would have been absolutely fine if Tristan and Sierra ended up with another and then Ryn and Dodge. I wouldn't have wanted this conclusion if Tristan and Sierra hadn't been with another, WHY ?! If Tristan wants to win over Ryn again why would he risk it for something that could potentially push her away? If his feelings for Ryn were as intense as he claims why would there be sexual tension AT ALL between him and Sierra. Sierra and him have chemistry .. which could be the reason they gave in. They're absolutely hilarious together and like I said I wouldn't have minded if they ENDED up falling for one another. Ryn and Dodge on the other hand .. would have been a great match. Dodge would do anything for her and wants to take their relationship to something more serious. However, Ryn is hung up over Tristan ... despite the fact that he seems to have "moved on". I liked Dodge to be honest, even more than Tristan!! Unlike Tristan, Dodge wasn't continuously thinking about the next one .. his heart was still set on Ryn. Unfortunately, it never ended up like that which caused me to be disappointed and not love this journey very much. The writing was amazing which is NO SURPRISE it's .. Kelly Elliott. Even though, I didn't enjoy the outcome of this novel .. I will read the next as it is Dodge and Sierra's story .. who were the two characters I enjoyed in this novel.

1 ⭐- Ugh! Didn't like it or triggers or pet peeve!
========================================
Well, as we saw in the previous book "Zero" had a sex-based relationship with our Zeroine and at the same time with another woman he had more serious intentions. The other woman in theory would be more appropriate. 🤔
He had sex with both of them. SOB!
His mistake was to invite our doormat, aka Zeroine, to visit his family at holidays.
Our Zeroine fits perfectly into his family and he freaks out. At the same time she hopes for a serious relationship with him, but she catches our Zero calling the OW and declaring that he misses the OW. She is devastated. 😵
They're done, and he's dating the OW.
According to him, she is more appropriate. Don't ask me the reason, he doesn't explain it. 🙄
He continues to date the OW and she begins a relationship with OM based solely on sex ( aka fuck buddy).
Sex scenes with other people are very detailed. 🤢
And our Zero fucks everything that has a hole and breathes ... and he has a room like Christian Gray. Our Zeroine never had the pleasure of using the room, but he took more women there than in a bus station. 🚏 He really likes sex and had a lot of partners.
The OW he chose did not like that room much, but even vanilla they continued the relationship. A stupid thing on his part because, according to him, he needed it.
I confess I did not enjoy having so much sex scene with other people. 🤮
Zero sees through a window of our Zeroine's house, her fucking her fuck buddy. She also likes sex very much and every time she gets stressed she calls the OM and they both have really hot sex. She tries to forget Zero through a good fuck. WTF!
I liked fuck buddy more than Zero. Go figure! 🤦♀️
The OM, who's going to be the hero of the next book, really was a cool guy who was falling in love with her. One of the other women, Sierra, is very interesting and her sex scenes with Zero were hotter, in my opinion, than those with Zeroine.
I was hoping for an exchange of loving interest. The two don't match and I really didn't like them. I didn't feel the couple.
I ended up skipping several sex scenes because I was bored. 😴
I wanted everything to be resolved at once and be done with it.

“Are you still seeing Liberty?” My smile faded a bit. “No. We’re over.” Lifting an eyebrow, I could tell she was holding back a smile. “How come? You get bored with her and pick up another girl on the side?” Ouch. That hurt.
“Why did you bring me to your parents’ for Christmas? Why didn’t you just bring Liberty if she was the one you wanted to be with?”
“Pretty much, Tristan. You were fucking another girl when you were with me. Forgive me for thinking we were in an exclusive relationship.”
“No! It wasn’t anything like that at all. I couldn’t decide between the two of you.” He did not just say that. Motherfucker.
Dodge had Ryn up against the island, fucking the shit out of her. Closing my eyes, I started to step down.
Liberty was right; I liked to play in the bedroom. A lot. Liberty was as vanilla as they came. Me on top, her on the bottom, and if she was feeling frisky she would ride me, but that was a once a month treat for her . . . and me.
Closing my eyes, I felt my tears fall. I was doing exactly what Dodge said I was doing—using him as a means to push Tristan away. I needed to decide once and for all what I was going to do. Was I moving on with Dodge or would I allow Tristan to keep a hold of my heart?
Silence. “Ryn, I’m falling for you. You have to see that.”
Fuck me. Why do I have the wrong guy wanting to make a future together?
Dodge was just supposed to be my rebound fuck buddy.
Then, of course, there were my sexual hobbies. I never took Ryn to my condo in Austin. A part of me was scared to death that the moment I opened the door to my playroom, Ryn would turn and never look back. Liberty on the other hand, I knew she wouldn’t get into my playroom. A part of me knew by bringing her there, I was hoping it would push her away. Unfortunately, it hadn’t worked. If anything, Liberty tried harder to show me how amazing vanilla sex was.
Dodge took my hand in his. “I don’t want any other women, I want you. I’m falling in love with you, Ryn.”
I ended up with Renee one night when I couldn’t find anyone I wanted on the other side of the club. I sat at the bar and talked to her all night. Before I knew it, I was in her bed fucking the hell out of her.
“You want to be fucked, honey?” Turning to me, she ran her tongue along her top teeth. “You like to play?” Grinning from ear to ear, I nodded my head. “Fuck yeah, I do.” “My place or yours?”
...saw Ryn dancing with a guy. His hands were moving up and down her body as she grinded up against him.
I didn’t want to tell Ryn the only people who had ever been here were Lark and women I brought here to fuck. The last thought caused me to feel sick. How would Ryn feel knowing I had brought women here just to fuck them?
My smile faded as I thought back to Michelle being here one night after I first moved in. She had wanted to see my playroom and be the first to try it out. Try it out we did. Then we moved into here. We had watched porn on the large screen and fucked each other senseless in one of the beanbags
I had never had anyone in my room. Not even Liberty when I brought her here.
I started having strange feelings for you that I’d never had for anyone before in my life. That’s when I met Liberty and started seeing her as well. I gave up the club scene as soon as I began dating you and then the whole mess last year and well . . . you know.”
Angela and I had been each other’s firsts. I took her virginity and she took mine. In the back of one of her daddy’s nineteen fifty-five Chevys.

1 Not Keen On The " Hero"Star
Hmmmm.....I like Kelly Elliott's books. I like the way different characters link in and we see their connections to each other. SPOILER ALERT ......do not read on if you do not want to know pivotal parts of the story......I never reveal spoilers, ever. BUT, OMG what the hell was that with Tristan and Sierra? I think they are both vile. So, Tristan found himself falling hard for Ryn which caused him to keep dating and sleeping with a girl called Liberty. While he was with Ryn at his parents house for Christmas, he spoke to Liberty on the phone and told her how much he missed her etc etc. Ryn flees. She drops his sorry ass and subsequently has a casual but really important relationship with her Rebound F*** Buddy , Dodge. Can I just say, I MUCH preferred Dodge to Tristan. Months later Tristan drops Liberty and decides he desperately wants Ryn but sees her and Dodge having sex so hooks up with Sierra to make her jealous and win her back. Sierra and Tristan decide they won't have sex because that would ruin their friendship but then he gives her an orgasm against the wall of a club and Ryn sees it. The next day Sierra and Tristan have full on sex at his beach house because she is sexually neglected and he wants to give her body the attention it deserves. Yeah right. It means nothing(!) even though as they lie cuddling on the sofa after, he offers to make love to her which Sierra graciously declines!!!! Then, Sierra reaches out the branch of friendship to Ryn , which she accepts. Sierra and Tristan are best buds but they will never have sex again now that they got it out the way. Sierra knew that Ryn still had feelings for Tristan. Ugh. This book did my head in. But at least it got a strong reaction I guess. Had Sierra and Tristan not had sex I would have been giving it 4-4.5 stars. I thought Tristan behaved like a douchebag and I disliked Sierra intensely. Sadly, she is in the next book. Ryn was ok but at times I wanted to slap her upside the head. I feel like I read a different book to everyone else. There are heaps of 5 star reviews out there for this book so it's probably just me.

Someone kindly just ‘liked’ my review & I got a notification which got me to thinking about this book again. When I think about ‘Heroes’ I really dislike , this book always comes to mind. So, on reflection I have dropped another star to make this a one star for me. But , as I said before , I’m in the minority & there are some fab reviews out there.

Going into this I knew what to expect based on some reviews - a story about a cheating piece of shit "hero" trying to get back the love of his life by lusting after and fucking someone else so I was not expecting an epic love story or to enjoy this, and I really, really, really did not.
Kelly Elliot fucked up. Well all of her books are major fuck ups, but with this one, Sierra should have been the h. Tristan had more chemistry with her and we even got to witness him fingering her, giving her multiple orgasms, eating her out, and fucking her. I really felt his love for Ryn during these scenes. I know I'm in the minority but I actually don't like to read about a guy having sex and lusting after OW, especially when he claims to be in love with the heroine. I've read like 6 books from this author and every single one has douchebag manwhore heroes with OW drama and cheating, and the heroines are usually virgins, or have very limited sexual experience and have never had an orgasm before the H.
All of her books (that I have come across) seem to be centred around an H who loves the h sooo much, but not enough to stop lusting after and fucking other women. Someone needs to tell Kelly that if a man truly loves a woman and wants to be with her, he will not cheat and screw around. He won't break up withthe love of his life so he can fuck other girls. He will be loyal and only want the woman he is in love with. He won't even cheat while he is drunk (shocker I know!). It's sad to think she is married too. It just blows my mind when married female authors write this shit and call it romance.
I try not to judge people's reading preferences too harshly, but seriously, what the fuck? Why are her books so highly rated? How can women enjoy reading this shit? Where is the love? The romance? It's nonexistent in this book and every other book of hers I have read. Also if you've read one of her books, you've pretty much read them all.
1 star for having a character with the same name as me (Sierra) just spelt differently and for having a hero named Tristan. Even though he was no hero and I hated him, I have loved the name Tristan since I was 10 years old. So yeah only good thing about this book were the names.

So bad! So after breaking the heroine Ryn’s Heart by dumping her for another girl, he decides the way to win her back was to flaunt another girl in front of her! Tristan seemed to have no problem being interested in Sierra, I didn’t believe he loved Ryn for a minute! There are no words, Tristan is in my top 10 worst heroes, and that says a lot seeing as I have read about unfaithful husbands that make me sick! I am afraid after this and ‘Made For You’ which features another scum bag hero who was clueless and selfish, but still forgiven; Kelly Elliott is officially on my authors to avoid list.

I call bullshit on this one. You're telling me that you love someone unconditionally despite what everyone else would consider a douchebag scum of the earth move??!?!?? You can't say you're in love with someone but then turn around and think with your dick.
October 10, 2019
DNF @ 15% Nope, just no. Rin and Tristan are toxic and have serious hang ups. The games they play with each other are disgusting. I want you but I'm too scared so I'll push you away by being with someone else. Fine, you break my heart I'll start screwing someone else as a rebound for 10 months. I'll use you and not care about your feelings at all cuz I'm a selfish immature brat. Oh you're screwing some other guy I'm gonna leave my other chick and find this new chick to make you jealous even though I pushed you away. I'm in love with you but I'll screw the girl I'm pretending to be with to make you jealous. Oh my gooooodddd these people are fucking idiots. What a great way to start a relationship. Fuck outta here.

Usually Kelly Elliot’s easy breezy romances, with a big scoop of angst, get me through brain mush reads and reset my romance meter. This one, 👎🏻 It felt like a FSoG rip off set in Austin. The H/h act like toddlers with a toy, trying to get a reaction out of each other. Eye rolling at best.
March 22, 2015
I always love Kelly's book but this one did not do it for me. I don't know what it was with this story but it did not capture me.
Maybe it was that they still slept with other people while still professing to love each other not sure. Others may think this is okay but to me if you really love someone would you do that?

Narration was below average, and the storyline was cheesy. Tristan just annoyed me for not knowing what he wanted and leading women on. 🙄

Stopped reading at 9%. I love the wanted series and the spin off soooo much but this is too much.
Guy fucks up, girl starts seeing someone new, a f buddy, guy decides to make a deal with girl for next book to be pretend f buddies to get girl to notice him and forgive him and leave her f buddy?!?!? What?!???!? No....just no. Thank goodness I did not buy this.

For the most part I like liked Tristan and Ryn.
Hard to get past Tristan and Siera....
I would have given the book more stars but just can't after that!!

2.5 stars for the angst…even if I hated it 😂
You need to skim book 1 for the scenes between this H/h, it’s integral to understanding why this book starts where it does.
It’s also just another book where the H fucks a random OW to FOUR orgasms in VERY graphic detail where it’s hotter and he’s more into it than with the h until the last few scenes. I love OW drama, on page H/OW sex doesn’t bother me…but seemingly enjoying the OW sex more than with h, not mention giving her more orgasms at one time than he ever does the h…that’s my hard limit. The sex scenes between h/OM are tepid in comparison…that’s fucked up. The h’s OM is also the H’s OW’s future H.
Quote between H/OW after 4 orgasms…I guess his loyalty is zero.
Then as OW left his house…reminder: her next boyfriend is the h’s current OM.
He’s posing as a couple with this OW just to hurt his h and make her jealous. He knows the OW already hurts the h…she caught him finger fucking the OW at a bar and the h was the last thing on the H’s mind…we know cuz it’s in HIS POV. The OW KNOWS the h and SUGGESTED this plan of making the h jealous. THE OW ALSO KNOWS HOW MUCH THE H WAS IN LOVE WITH AND FUCKED UP WITH the h…AND SHE STILL FUCKS HIM THE NEXT DAY!!!
Since the h is with OM I should be ok with it. But H dumped h for a completely different OW and the h/OM sex isn’t shown as off the charts it’s FADE TO BLACK…so……….
I think the mistake made here for me is he has a connection with this OW. Obvs from the way they fuck. If this had been a less intense sex scene with the OW from the last book…I would probably give it a pass…maybe not though. I think he’s played the h with OW long enough. He’s learned fuck all about treating her right.
The OW in this book was just another chick he had to get out of his system before he could SETTLE for the h. I hate that. The H/OW become BFFs and the OW and h are even FRIENDS…after all, the OW gets with her OM in next book. *facepalm*
The BDSM was also so out of place and of course we’re treated to him IN GRAPHIC DETAIL meeting and fucking the OW that turned him onto kink. He’s fucked so many women at his kink club I’m not sure how I’m supposed to ever like him.
Did I mention I LOVE OW DRAMA the more fucked up the better???
This book just encompasses too many OW plot lines. Choosing (and cheating on h with) OW from last book because SHE’S the kind dudes marry. Fucking this book’s OW like I want my H fucking his h. Going out of his way to hurt the h with both OW. Becoming BFFs with his OW. And then the BDSM plot where he’d dump the h if she won’t go there with him, meanwhile they only do it in his sex room ONCE…after he reminisces about the OW that introduced him to kink. The mis(non)communication plot lines that got old fast. Getting info on the chick he lost his virginity to…a plot line that went nowhere. And FINALLY, him dumping the h AGAIN without letting her explain cuz he thinks she picked the OM over him…you know like the H did to the h MULTIPLE times.
I guess I have hard limits after all 💔

“You weren’t lying when you said you were good in bed. Holy shit, I’ve never been so thoroughly fucked. And how in the hell do you manage to give a girl three . . . no wait, I’m pretty sure I tipped four, orgasms?”
Laughing, I eased up on my hold of her.
“I can’t imagine what you’d be like making love to someone you truly loved, Tristan.”
The image of Ryn and me in the hunters cabin popped into my head. Closing my eyes, for the first time in my life, I fought to hold back my tears.
Smiling, I kissed the back of her head. “Do you want me to make love to you, Sierra?”
Turning in my arms, she looked at me for a good twenty seconds or so. Shaking her head she whispered, “No. The next time you make love to a woman, Tristan, it should be with the woman you love with all your heart.”
Then as OW left his house…reminder: her next boyfriend is the h’s current OM.
“Before opening the door, she turned and looked at me. “I am faced with two serious problems now though.”
My smile faded. “What?”
She took in a deep breath and quickly exhaled. “My vibrator will never be able to compete with those orgasms. And, I’m pretty sure my next boyfriend’s performance in bed will be measured up to the amazing fucking I just got.”
He’s posing as a couple with this OW just to hurt his h and make her jealous. He knows the OW already hurts the h…she caught him finger fucking the OW at a bar and the h was the last thing on the H’s mind…we know cuz it’s in HIS POV. The OW KNOWS the h and SUGGESTED this plan of making the h jealous. THE OW ALSO KNOWS HOW MUCH THE H WAS IN LOVE WITH AND FUCKED UP WITH the h…AND SHE STILL FUCKS HIM THE NEXT DAY!!!
Since the h is with OM I should be ok with it. But H dumped h for a completely different OW and the h/OM sex isn’t shown as off the charts it’s FADE TO BLACK…so……….
I think the mistake made here for me is he has a connection with this OW. Obvs from the way they fuck. If this had been a less intense sex scene with the OW from the last book…I would probably give it a pass…maybe not though. I think he’s played the h with OW long enough. He’s learned fuck all about treating her right.
The OW in this book was just another chick he had to get out of his system before he could SETTLE for the h. I hate that. The H/OW become BFFs and the OW and h are even FRIENDS…after all, the OW gets with her OM in next book. *facepalm*
The BDSM was also so out of place and of course we’re treated to him IN GRAPHIC DETAIL meeting and fucking the OW that turned him onto kink. He’s fucked so many women at his kink club I’m not sure how I’m supposed to ever like him.
Did I mention I LOVE OW DRAMA the more fucked up the better???
This book just encompasses too many OW plot lines. Choosing (and cheating on h with) OW from last book because SHE’S the kind dudes marry. Fucking this book’s OW like I want my H fucking his h. Going out of his way to hurt the h with both OW. Becoming BFFs with his OW. And then the BDSM plot where he’d dump the h if she won’t go there with him, meanwhile they only do it in his sex room ONCE…after he reminisces about the OW that introduced him to kink. The mis(non)communication plot lines that got old fast. Getting info on the chick he lost his virginity to…a plot line that went nowhere. And FINALLY, him dumping the h AGAIN without letting her explain cuz he thinks she picked the OM over him…you know like the H did to the h MULTIPLE times.
I guess I have hard limits after all 💔

Tristan and Ryn’s story was teased through Unconditional Love. Readers of the first book watched as Tristan brought Ryn home for Christmas and proceeded to call another girl when he got spooked by his feelings for Ryn. Months later, both remain in casual relationships while avoiding each other and the feelings between them.
This story was full of so much angst, drama, and games. Between the casual relationships they are each using to get past the hurt, to a new girl connected to both of them, there are so many games going on to get attention without leaving the players vulnerable. The hurt runs back and forth between them, based on who is the one pushing at the time. I couldn’t help but wonder how much of the drama could have been avoided if they were just honest with each other!
I went back and forth about whether I liked what was going on, or whether it just made me want to smack the characters. Some things happen at various points that just keeping digging the hole between them deeper to the point where I didn’t see how they could get past it. And even when they did, I had a hard time with the speed at which forgiveness and trust was reached.
Readers do learn what it was that scarred Tristan so bad during that Christmas visit that he turned to Liberty to push Ryn away, and while it is a big part of his character and life, it almost became an elephant in the room. If he had opened up to her and been honest much sooner, his anxiety, her pain, their time apart could have been significantly shortened or relieved completely.
This book falls in line with the angst and drama levels that have become common in Kelly’s series. While I keep reading because I love Kelly’s original stories, sometimes I am now feeling like this crosses to angst levels that turn me away. It is well written, and a great conclusion for Tristan and Ryn, but there were just moments that pulled me away from loving them completely.
I was gifted a copy in exchange for an honest review.

I was gifted a copy to pay it forward, thank you I did pay it forward.
well three stars is a bit heartbreaking for me but after a lot of thought I had to.
I am not sure what has changed but Kelly's writing has changed and I'm having a hard time not finding it mundane.
This book was filled full of angst but I just can not get past Sierra. . I won't say why you have to read it to find out.. I really kind of hated her and Tristan
The positives were the characters are set up to be awesome really they are but fell short.
I am looking forward to hearing more about dodge..
Keep writing I am sure there is a lot more to tell us and I look forward to it

Kelly's best work to date! I was provided an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I fell in love with Tristan from the beginning of this book. Talk about SWOON!!! There were times I wanted to yell at Ryn and I also found my new BFF in Sierra. So many feels with this story. The characters in this book had multiple layers and I find myself looking forward to the next book, longing for more Sierra.
This book is HOT!!! Saucy!!!! Spicy!!!! This is Kelly's sexiest book to date!

Oh my gosh that Tristan is sex on a stick and add in the kinky sex room/sex.....he made me want to go buy some cowboy boots and move to Texas and find myself a cowboy. But seriously This book was probably one of my favorites and I loved every minute of their journey to happiness. Looking forward to Sierra and Dodge's next.

OMG Kelly did it again!! I loved Tristan and didn't want the book to end! I can't wait for Dodge and Sierra!

I usually love all of the books that I read from this author but for some reason this one just didn't do it for me.
You meet Ryn and Tristan in the first book of this series. They are casually dating, or so Tristan thinks, but Ryn has fallen for him. Not knowing that he has another girl on the side that he has an on again off again relationship with.
Tristan has moved on from the other woman but now he can't stop thinking about Ryn. She has moved on to a friends with benefits with her Dodge. It was kind of creepy the way Tristan was peeking at them through the window.
Then comes Sierra, the woman who rents her beach house to Ryn. Tristan and Sierra become friends and hook up, and then Ryn starts hanging with her to get information out of her.
From there the story just got weird. Tristan and Ryn confess their feelings and then everything is fine. Tristan just has to share his secret which really made no sense in this book. It felt like an after thought. When they got around to using the room in their new house it was like they had to try everything all at once. No easing Ryn into it slowly.
Not one of her best books, but still a great author. Will continue to read this authors books because I am more satisfied than not.

Tristan and Ryn’s journey
This is book 2 of this series, though you could read this stand alone. Tristan and Ryn were introduced in book 1, and boy did Tristan screw up! He continues to fumble in his quest to win Ryn back. But they both finally get their heads on straight and communicate. Once they finally lay it all out, they realize they wasted precious time apart. Tristan and Ryn have a very steamy relationship. Definitely not a book for you if you don’t like the heat! I love this authors books and they never disappoint!

When Tristan takes Ryn home to meet the parents, he thinks this is going to be an easy way to have fun and keep his parents off his back. What he did not expect was to actually fall in love with her. But with this realization comes thoughts that scare him away, leaving Ryn heart broken. Can the two find their way back to each other? Or will Tristan use fear as his guide? With wonderful characters and a storyline the reader cannot help but want to continue this was a great read. Kelly Elliott never disappoints.

Foi uma desilusão desde o inicio, ficamos com expetativa de como se iria desenrolar este amor, com as pistas lançadas no primeiro livro, e desde o inicio que este desilude :(
Começa logo porque no inicio começam por dormir com outras pessoas?!
O Tristan e a Sierra ? A sério?
A partir daí, vai de mal a pior sendo que o red room of pain então ... socorro!
Creio que é o primeiro livro da KE que posso dizer - não gostei!

I wanted some angst and drama and tried this book. I didn’t read the first book.
I was put off early on when the heroine was talking about having sex with another man.
I mean both characters having sex with other people it’s too much for me to believe in any HEA.
I’m also tired of the same pattern : we have another curvy heroine who can eat vs skinny OW.
I wish I could return the book.
I deleted it anyway. DNF
