Still Crushin: A Beautifully Savage Holiday

by Tysha Jordyn

Beautiful & Savage are caught between passion and pride, trying to navigate old wounds, new responsibilities, and the ghosts they swore they buried. But in a season meant for peace and reflection, the truth won’t stay hidden—and not everyone will make it to the new year unscathed. Situationship turned lovers. Lovers turned liars. And a past that refuses to stay there. In this highly awaited spinoff, your favorite characters return in a raw, emotionally charged tale where secrets collide with second chances.

About the author

I wear several hats, fill many roles, and never manage to get enough sleep. My life has the perfect balance of chaos and calm, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm an author, blogger, editor, journalist, and screenwriter with big plans to ride my #bookDreams just as far as they'll take me; hopefully, all the way to the top. Long before I was an author, I was a reader, so I inhale life and digest it as the muse for my next bestseller. Can't wait to hear what you think of it :) My biggest success to date? Having my very first published novel, I Should've Cheated, in production to become a web series. #BossMoves

I'm a pretty chill chick with a simple mantra: #writeOrDie. If I think it, I WILL write it... God put me on this rock to do many things, and I plan to change the world one story at a time. I'll always be that rowdy lil' diva from the East coast, but I'm LOVING this #islandLife in the natural, breathtaking beauty of Hawaii... think I might say goodbye to the mainland and perfect my #beachBum vibe... as long as I have my family and my furbaby, Kardi, by my side (and the color pink), the sky is the limit!

See you in my next release!

This story brings passion, pride, old wounds, secrets, and second chances together in a holiday romance that explores what it really takes to make love last. I love the idea of seeing Beautiful and Savage navigate their relationship after everything they've been through. Sometimes loving somebody isn't the hard part—it's learning to trust, communicate, and let go of the past.

This book completely blew me away. I went in expecting a standard, cute holiday romance, but instead, I got a raw, intense, and deeply emotional masterpiece. The "boss" energy in this story is unmatched, and the chemistry between the leads is so electric it practically melts the pages.

What I loved most is that it doesn’t just rely on festive tropes. It dives into real, messy human emotions healing from past hurts, the anxiety of returning home, and finding out what you truly want out of life. The romance is passionate and unapologetic, yet the emotional growth is what really grounds the story.

It had such a wonderful ending, but it left me completely invested. I honestly wish there was an update or a follow-up with these couples just to see how everything worked out for them long-term. If you want a seasonal read that has actual substance, incredible tension, and characters you will root for with everything you've got, this is the one to pick up.

this is one of my fav book series of all time

I literally read this book in a half a day. This series kept me yearning for more. It had me laughing my ass off, crying, cheesing, hell emotion you can think of.
It was like one of them good ass black tv series you can wait to watch every week. I love how she wrote it and I love all the messages and I just love me some black love because we be going through some shit!!! It brought a lot of ups, downs, life lessons, unexpected, and expected twists and turns. Everything that would have me reading all of an authors books. Thank you, you did your big one with this series Tysha. I’m on to your other books. You have a HUGE fan right here. I even listen on Audiable.

Free

Ain't no feeling like being free
When your mind's made up
And your hearts in the right place, yeah
Ain't no feeling like being free
When you've done all you could
But what's misunderstood (it's all good, it's all good)
Ain't no feeling like being free
I'm like an eagle set free
And finally I'm looking out for me (I'm looking out for me)
Ain't no feeling like being free
'Cause my mind's made up
And my heart is in the right place, yeah

Well deserved

Bee is the friend we all need and the way Savage loves on her, accepting that she's always going to hold him accountable. Their love story was needed , and the author shows that what starts well will end well. I won't mind a spin-off to see where Bee, Savage, Linc, and Niq end up.

Crushing

This was a very good ending to a great series.
I loved the emotions both Savage and Beautiful had going on, emotions that caused drama , anxiety , love all of it leading to there happiness.
I like the way Lincoln and Aniqa was still about of there journey. Savage and Beautiful came alone way through the trauma they both went through.....

GREAT BOOK!!!

I absolutely loved it like I knew I would. These are some of my favorite characters. I loved the way it ended. I could go for one more book with Niq and Linc’s wedding. Tysha you know you’re one of my favorites. This is definitely a must read.

Ew my least favorite of the series… way too much back and forth… toxic story. And Savages obsession with a dead woman just rubbed me wrong… it gives he is only with Bee cause she is no longer living… and I don’t like that.
