Everyone makes mistakes. But have most people made a choice that resulted in an almost fatal ending for the person they love the most?
I did.Years ago, I withheld information from my mom that almost got her killed. She was taken, and every bruise on her body was my fault.
My mistake made my mama wilt, and the bubbly personality everyone loved about me began to fade.
One pop at a time, my bubbles ceased to exist. In that slow disintegration, self-hatred and anxiety filled the emptiness.
I vowed never to hurt another person again and cut myself off from connection and care. Isolation is better than heartache.
Until someone makes me realize that my detachment is causing pain too.
The Wilted Duet world continues with Violet’s story. This duet can be read as a standalone, but if you want to avoid spoilers, reading The Wilted Duet before The Bubbly Duet is recommended. You asked for more spice, and Violet is ready to deliver! Angst, heat, groveling, betrayal, trauma, high emotions, and revenge await. Dive between Violet’s…pages…and fall in love and maybe a little hate.
Author's This is book 1 of the Bubbly Duet. You’ll find MPOV, MM content, and dark themes in this contemporary MMMF why-choose. Trigger Each book is recommended for those 18+ due to sexual content and trauma. A further detailed list will be included in the foreword.
I absolutely adored the beginning of Violet’s story. Utterly heartbreaking to fully understand the impact her past mistakes have had on her life. She’s riddled with guilt and has completely shut herself off from any amount of happiness. The emotional upheaval that she experiences as she starts to break down her walls were devastating and so well-written. The actions of the MMCs were also equally emotional - be it masking hurt with anger or anxiety with OTT protectiveness. Y.V. always provides expert representations of the human experience and realistic responses to devastating circumstances. All the emotions, per usual, and of course, a cliffhanger that has my heart in tatters and desperate for Part Two!
