She’s the only place that ever felt like peace and the biggest war he’s ever had to fight. Their relationship is tense and built on shared scars, unspoken truths and a loyalty so deep it starts to feel like a trap.
But as buried secrets begin to surface, Honor is forced to learn that the greatest act of love isn’t holding on… it’s letting go.

Kellz Kimberly 24, fell in love with urban fiction after reading 'Baby Girl' by Jihad. The was only the first of many urban fiction novels she fell in love with. Eventually Kellz took her love for reading it and redirected it to a pen & paper. Dropping her first book in 2014 Kellz Kimberly has been building a name for herself ever since. With 27 books under her belt & 9 of them being Amazon Urban Fiction Number One Best Seller, Kellz Kimberly is just getting started.
She is slowly but surly taking the Urban fiction world over by storm. She recently took home the AAMBC BreakOut Author of The Year award, solidifying her as a force to be reckon with. This is only the start for Kellz Kimberly, she is always working and coming with new material to give readers then same feeling she got when she read her first urban fiction book.
Not only is she an author but she is a publisher as well. She works with her authors to help them pursue their dreams and encourages them to tell their story in a form of another story.
At only 24 she has accomplished a lot but she's nowhere near done with her list of goals. For her writing is so much more than just telling a story. It's about being able to have a reader full in love with a set of characters so much that they feel invested in the book. For her that is the greatest feeling of.
The best way to sum up Kellz Kimberly is 'She Writes, She Grinds, She Slays"
I can’t wait for the rest. Honor was always in the background keeping everything together so seeing his story is eye opening. Navy too. Omg I need part 2 immediately
Kellz pen game is amazing. She does something with words that sits deep in your chest and you think about it for days after. This really gave me so much more insight into Honor, Choyce, and Navy.
Albeit - imma ride for my girl, Navy, until the wheels fall off.
I need to go sit on the lady’s couch after the turmoil Honor and Navy put me through. I don’t doubt the two love each other but this type of love is a lot. It’s riddled in past trauma, pain, guilt, codependency, and even more pain. I feel for Navy because she has basically given up everything to love Honor. But the ending, mkay, Navy - do your thang girl 💅I feel like Honor means well, but he’s been so controlled and institutionalized by Lucian that he’s in his own way. He feels like he has to carry everything when that’s not the case! 😭Now this obsession Choyce has, idk, part of me feels bad but the other part is like girl open your eyes! There’s definitely a trauma bond between Choyce and Honor.. there was so much going on in this story, the secrets whew!!! it’s no surprise there will be a part two. And I can’t wait to see how things unfold because Lucian needs a taste of his own medicine! 4.5✨
yo this author kellz is so trifling lmfao, the author did an executional job bc now everyone is going in, jumping in, and hating on my gal navy bc the heroine cheated (honor cheated first & foremost, let’s stop acting oblivious) + the secrecy of quadruplet homicide abortions. gahhh damn. i know you want honor with choyce, but i won’t turn on navy & falling for the master plan.
also this is why i loathe love triangle bc i like everyone, honor, choyce, navy, & even solace who came in last min. but honor and navy needs to be the end game, there’s no want over here. they didn’t get this far to come this far. choyce i have never hated, she is misunderstood, craves dat loyalty, & protection she never had and/or experience like how honor shows up for navy. navy wants to be love, & not need by honor. solace showing up is refreshing (lowkey fuck with him), & i know that’s the author’s plan. Wolfe & Chosyn is always gonna be & still my fave couple of all time. last, but not least… honor is too broken, he wants to die more than he wants to live.
da toxicity, gimme part 2 already. so i can skip to the ending who honor ends up with. or if he actually lives or die and is left all alone instead. i didn’t sign up for this type of love triangle now to love sq shit. . 😭💔
cue the songs - medicine queen najia & cut it out tink 🎶
Rating 4.5 ⭐️ Honor doesn’t just pull at your emotions, it grips them and refuses to let go. Throw your thoughts out the window because nothing about this story plays out the way you expect. It’s heavier, darker and way more layered than I expected. I was warned and proceeded with caution.
Honor and Navy. That’s not just love that’s entanglement. The kind that feels like oxygen and suffocation at the same time. You can feel how deeply they care for each other but it’s tangled up in control, pain and survival. It’s not soft. It’s not easy. It’s the kind of connection that makes you question if love is healing them or slowly breaking them down.
Every chapter with Navy had me on edge. Like girl, I see you, I feel you but I need you to wake up. The emotional weight she’s carrying is heavy. Some of those choices are even heavier than others. You just want to reach through the pages and shake her a little. Then turn around and hug and cry with her.
Honor I don't want to believe he's in too deep to be pulled out but damnit idk!!! You can see the shift trying to happen. The hurt is there, fighting to break through all that anger and instinct. He's giving up while fighting at the same time. The moments where he finds a sense of peace, even briefly is when he's with Navy. Even then it's controlled and manipulated. Loving Honor is not easy. Loving Honor is actually more toxic than loving Wolfe or Crown.
What makes me want to knock all this shiiii over is nothing is ever just what it is. Every interaction feels like it’s hiding something. Every move feels strategic. It’s like everybody is playing chess while emotions are out here playing checkers. Lucian is playing with house rules and everyone is a pawn every single action has a consequence attached to it.
Let me gather myself that ending absolutely disrespectful. Navy I read 342 pages of you and your insecurities, your woes that Honor was with Choyce JUST for you to buss it open in a club bathroom. Girl is you cool? Honor is gonna peel that man's muffin cap back blue. Nahhhh that's too easy it's about to be a war. My heart is in my throat, I'm staring at the page like dassit. Part 2 take your time cause I need to figure out how to breathe again.
Crown 🫶🏾 you stole my heart frfr. Love will make you do whatever it takes to keep it in a healthy way.
This isn’t a love story you sit comfortably in. It’s one you survive.... barely

I waited for this book and it was just as disappointing as the all the others after the first book. I didn't think Kellz could get me to hate Navy but she accomplished that exponentially. Idgaf if Honor winds up with her or not. Navy is a grimey ass bitch. She worried about Choyce disgusting ass. But let some stranger she met for a few minutes fuck on her in some cheezy ass club bathroom. But her and Honor are supposed to be MORE than soulmates. And Chosen keep talking about Choyce is her sister. Bitch blood don't make a family. When Honor broke down in front of Crown I was like fuck. This author put this mf through it and still had this trifling bitch cheat on him abort 4 of his kids and give one up to that piece of shit boys home. I hated this book more than any of the others. I could care less about a part two you could of wrapped it up here. How the fuck do they come back from this. Navy so worried about Honor cheating but did that exact thing to him. She 💯 fucked up for that and every other grimey as shit under the guise of love. I think that Navy pretends to be a saint but she's the devil that will take Honor out. She no better than her father. Her toxicity is just hidden better.
I knew better than to read this book when I knew there was a second part. This book was emotionally heavy for me. I don’t want to say too much and spoil it for those people that do like me and read the reviews before the book, but I just hope that the second part has the ending that I am seeking and doesn’t leave me broken. I love Kelly Kimberly and she can do no wrong in my book, but if I’m not healed at the end then… Anyway, I do recommend that you read this book. I thought I was going to have to revisit Wolfe and Chosyn and River and Crown to remember what happened, but those pieces were woven in nicely and jogged my memory.
She warned us to read this slow because it’s heavy. I didn’t listen. But listen! Thissssss is probably my fav in the series. Is love ever enough!? You gotta trust, you gotta be honest and not just with yourself but the ones you claim to love and care for. What does it mean to protect the ppl you love? How far are you willing to go?!! Cause Honor?! Yeah he’s really him. Grandma not mad, grandma hurt 😭😭😭behind the ending! I HIGHLY recommend this book! Kellz Kimberly does it again!! I can’t wait for part two.
This book did everything it was supposed to do… except keep going.
That “To Be Continued”? Yeah, that was crazy work.
I came into Honor expecting a love story like the others, but what I got was something heavier. More personal. More about what it means to be Honor, not just his name, but the weight he carries.
And Navy? I didn’t get her at first… but by the end, I understood her more than I expected.
This wasn’t Honor & Navy.
This was Honor.
And now I’m just sitting here… waiting for the rest.
Lawd have mercy...rhe SECRETS we keep. These weren't just little secrets, these were secrets that were done to protect...but man will they hurt when exposed.
I still love me some Honor and Navy, but they are about to go through it 🫣
Now....my man Crown...when I tell you...the GROWTH IS BEAUTIFUL! That couch lady did her job 😅
Honor got on every nerve I had while reading this but I think the secrets Navy has been keeping are too much to comeback from.
He was very dependent on their connection which drained Navy but I feel navy should have set boundaries for herself instead of loving Honor more than herself.
Grab some tissue and close your mouth because there are some jaw dropping experiences. NOT the ending my poor little heart desires - I still got part 2. I'm not #teamNavy.
This was too much. I was praying that Honor would get it together! The end of this book showed that a woman can only take so much. It seems as if Navy is choosing herself, but the repercussions that will come with this 🥵
I don’t know how to feel about Honor. My boy been through it! I side eyed him a lot but not I’m looking at Navy like she crazy. Man the secrets!!! I’m ready for the next book.
