honor dies, no one ends up with anyone besides crown x river & wolfe x chosyn.
this was distasteful, disgrace, and disgusting. the author is very biased and was always wanting choyce and honor to be together. it was a weak ass love triangle where Kellz bamboozled us bc we didn’t ask and sign up for none of this bs. yall wanna praise her she did her big one, but this was an epic fail. an unconventional hea that was unnecessary.

So yea, long rant. And FYI my review does not mean the writing was bad. I actually think the author has very good penmanship, I just noticed something else going on with this book, that I would like to touch on.
I can’t tell if this was written authentically or if favoritism toward certain characters played a role. Being in reader spaces and seeing who the author clearly prefer makes it harder to just take the story at face value.
There are so many ways I could point out where the story felt biased and unnecessarily heavy. And this is coming from someone who understands each character’s actions, even if I don’t agree with them. Still, the execution fell flat because the plot felt forced rather than organic. Seeing the author say a HEA would’ve been ‘cliché’ makes it seem like the ending was shaped more for shock value or engagement than authenticity and true love story even with it not ending in a hea. Readers don’t need to be forced to feel something—those emotions should come naturally through the story.
The series itself shifted as far as the theme. The more you read the deeper and heavier it gets. And in Honor’s two books, it was centered around heavy trauma and love through suffering. Because of the series starting off differently, I didn’t mind reading the books. But if I would’ve known this was the route it was going, I wouldn’t have read none of the books in the series. But when you’re invested already as a reader you tend to want to see it through. This kind of change can make it harder to trust the author’s storytelling, especially when it feels like the direction was intentionally pushed to create a different emotional reaction rather than developing naturally.
For the ones who know, the author wasn’t a fan of Navy, and already knew her and honor wasn’t going to be endgame. And the roll out (post & engagement on social media) of the book was centered around Choyce’s character, also the authors favorite and the love triangle. The story definitely felt like some characters decisions were forced in order to make the “plot” make sense.
It’s also crazy how the favorite character has the most character development (Choyce). It’s almost like her character was forced on the readers so that we can be manipulated to “understand” her more and to give her the most grace. That’s why it doesn’t really seem authentic to me. Cause, how ironic 😬
When it comes to the love triangle, honors actions and explanations with Choyce fell flat. Especially with how he was written to sacrifice everything for Navy because he loved her that much. This is where I felt like Choyce story line was written in because she was favored. And the author wanted to tell her story. I think there were ways to make her and honors connection make sense without them having to be romantically involved. Because you can’t have him say “I’ll die before doing life with you” & all these other quotes to then have him cheat. Same with Navy, all of a sudden she got the balls to cheat but her character was so soft in the first two books of the series. Navy’s character seemed to do a quick 180, and not flow in the way that it could’ve. And I like navy so that’s saying something. It seems like the cheating for navy was set up so that honor can be with Choyce. This is where the story fell flat. It gotta all make sense, and since the author has been biased towards certain characters, it clearly shows in the book that she wanted them to at least have something together even in they don’t end up together.
Again, for honor to be so hell bent on his love for navy and putting all this in place for her, the connection with Choyce, upsets that. He couldnt even answer the therapist questions of which person he would choose but me as the reader is supposed to think he really loved navy …. He said to Chosyn if he could take his heart out of his chest and give it to navy he would. But then there’s that “understanding” with Choyce, he gave in so quickly and still put things in place for her but says things like he’ll choose navy in every life time. See… doesn’t really make sense. I can’t help but think honor and Choyce was set up to be endgame, but since the author has favored her character a lot saying things like “yall don’t like Choyce but I do so there’s that” it makes me think she gave her a little something in the story but not much or a hea with honor so that the bias wouldn’t be so obvious. But sadly, it still showed and it took away from the story. And now moving forward, I’m skeptical to read more books from the author. The trust in staying true to their craft has been slightly tainted and it’s possible for things like this to appear again. And that sucks because she’s actually a good writer…

LONG RANT…
I love this series too much for it to end like this. There just had to be another way or maybe i just love happy endings. Introducing me to my favorite character and taking them away was heartbreaking. I don’t feel like that was a happy ending for anyone. I thought Chosen was a realist but obviously not and I wouldn’t have forgave her. You knew, you lied, and you kept it a secret over someone who may be your blood but betrayed you in the worst way then you tried to justify by throwing back what i said and did .. I feel like no one chose Navy , not even Honor. The reasoning for switching up didn’t make sense after all this “i can’t breathe without you.” Two decades of love and this is the plot and how it ends. Anyway, Ms.AuthorLady i don’t trust you anymore , it was giving favoritism 🤧😭.

Did a reread and all I can do is smh. Navy deserved so much better. I liked chosyn but this book I hated her fuck her and her sister tbh. Honor definitely got what he deserved and I wished Navy would’ve did him much worst. I’m tired of people saying he loved Navy no he did not. And yall can say what yall want but cheated on Navy first. Choyce should’ve died right along with honor. Navy got the short end of the stick and I don’t like that at all. Crown and Navy are the only people I liked. glad this series is over!!!

Long rant!
Honor book makes no sense to me. He claimed he loved Navy so much but broke her completely down for someone who could choose him. I mean Navy spent 20 years choosing him. I understand he felt like a broken man to her. However, he never allowed her to be more than just a fixer or anchor for him.She expected and received the bare minimum from him.
Navy and Honor both lied and kept secrets because they thought they were saving each other. Honor knew majority of Navy secrets, he should have confronted her on them. He sacrificed his life to set her free but lost his mind at the thought of another man with her ( doesn’t make sense) however he wants her to find a love she craves in his death.
Navy isn’t blameless in this relationship. She never thought Honor could handle her trauma and she let another man get close. I understand her thought process of her decisions, but the weight of them were too heavy to keep to herself. Her secrets directly involved Honor and she never gave him the opportunity to be present. She was insecure of Choyce because she was making Honor feel something she had never done ( not a broken man). However, instead of pouring into herself and getting to the root cause of their failing relationship, she just kept deflecting her energy to Choyce. I don’t want her with Solace either, I feel something off about him.
Choyce made me so angry. She pursued Honor because she thought she was a better woman for him. Claimed she saw Honor differently, but in the end she realized he is a broken man. She believed their connection was something magical but in reality it was just something different. He been with the same woman for 20yrs, of course Choyce was a new perspective for him. I’m sorry just because she saw the error of her ways at the end, I couldn’t root for her. She used Choysn in the first book and then she used Honor in this book. She never cares about the people who will get hurt as result of her actions. I hope she is not pregnant by Honor.
In the end he still needed Navy to anchor him and expects her to live after that. The amount of trauma she will need to heal from for that to happen. I don’t understand his logic. He died for her, but the process he took he had to break her in order to accomplish that. I think Honor had good intentions but he hurt Navy more in the process.
Navy keeping their son in the dark is only going cause more trauma for him. I feel if she told him the truth, he could be the love she’s been trying to get her whole life.
In the end it seems they reverted back to that young girl and young boy. What was really accomplished? It took death to end their connection. They both should have walked away from each other long ago.

April 15, 2026This book was far too long and repetitive. They both cheated but Honor’s was too personal. Her’s was in a drunken state with a stranger with no penetration. Hhis was with a woman who had feelings for him that he worked with and was related to her best friend. The best friend knew and had to keep it a secret out of loyalty to her sister.
Also why did Honor have to protect Cherish? Not his child or problem? That was a dumb storyline…. He did not have to protect Choyce. He owed her no loyalty. If he really loved Navy and protected her, he would cut Choyce off or killed her after the first kiss and figured a way to kill Lucian that was untraceable. I bet Wolfe would have not played in his wife’s face behind another woman. This story did not show Honor being Honorable at all. Navy would have not been in that bathroom with Solace if Honor did not kiss Choyce and jump in front of that bullet. He emotionally cheated first.
I think Navy will be back because Solace is part of that circle. And he is not done with her yet!

I’ve sat on this a while and don’t know how to be anything but disappointed.
I just hate how bad the character of these characters were compromised. For this to be part 2 of honor’s story and for him to switch up completely on the woman he loves was crazy. I don’t think choyce’s character should’ve had as much pull as it did. She could have been left in Wolfe and Chosyn. Maybe it’s just be but this book didn’t show her as being a woman who could lead a mafia.
Honor gave her everything in that letter and gave Navy what….nothing.
The Navy hate was jumping off of the page from the author and it was honestly like that since Wolfe & Chosyn.
Choysn’s character completely switched up it was like these were different people by the end of the series and I’m disappointed. It was like the author wanted Honor and Choyce together, tried to develop a relationship, but didnt. He and Choyce had no chemistry for it to even go this far. Leaving it open as to whether or not she could be pregnant is bird behavior. Idk I’m not a fan of the cheating trope or for the main character to throw their gf/wife a way for a side piece.

It had the potential to be really good I just don’t understand why it had to end the way it did. It wasn’t beautiful to me at all. It annoyed me and I wish I never read it.

SPOILERS: this post has 2 parts. first part is an analysis of the story, the second part is my review.
Part 1 (analysis)
i think a lot of the conversation around honor, navy, and choyce flattens them into “good” or “bad,” when really all three of them are operating from the same root issue: they never had real agency or guidance, so their understanding of love is shaped by survival, not intention.
honor, navy, and choyce all wanted something very specific, but none of them knew how to communicate it.
honor wanted the ability to choose. he spent his life without real autonomy, so when he finally had it, he exercised it in the only way he knew how. that’s why him choosing choyce—twice—matters so much. it directly proves navy’s point.
navy didn’t just want to be chosen. she wanted to be wanted and desired too. those are three different things.
being needed is about survival.
being wanted is emotional preference.
being desired is romance, pursuit, intention.
honor gave her reverence, dependency, and worship—but not real, intentional love. he saw her as a savior, almost like a god, and no human can sustain that without breaking. and she did. in trying to maintain that “angel” role, she kept secrets to protect him, but it only created more distance and mistrust. she didn’t trust him enough to handle intimacy beyond survival, and it cost them both.
i also think it’s important to note that navy seeing honor as “broken” didn’t just come from what she witnessed as a child, but from what he consistently showed her. he only came to her when he needed saving, when he was at his lowest. so her perception of him was shaped by those moments. if the only version of someone you experience is them in crisis, it’s hard to see them as whole.
and i think that’s where things get even more layered. navy might have been able to evolve past that perception of him being broken if he had allowed her to experience him outside of those moments—if he came to her in joy, in peace, in desire, not just in need. but he didn’t. so her understanding of him stayed rooted in survival, just like his understanding of love.
at the same time, navy was asking a very simple question that never got answered:
“if you didn’t need me, would you still want me?”
and when honor finally had the space to choose freely, he chose choyce. so her fear wasn’t unfounded.
but even that “choice” with choyce feels complicated. because while honor frames her as something he actively chose, choyce is actually the one who had to decide for both of them that it would only happen once. she’s the one who put a boundary on it. which raises the question: did honor really see choyce as a choice, or was that just the language he used because it was easier than admitting something deeper?
he says he wanted navy to hate him, but that doesn’t fully land. it feels more like he didn’t want to admit that he was simply a man who gave into temptation—and more importantly, that he might not have stopped if choyce didn’t. there’s a difference between making a calculated decision and losing control in a moment you didn’t resist.
and even before that, there’s the question of access. as disciplined as honor is portrayed, how did choyce get close enough to kiss him in the first place? navy clocked that immediately. people don’t cross physical boundaries like that without some level of openness, even if it’s unspoken. it would have felt more honest if he admitted that he wanted it, at least on some level, instead of framing it as something that just happened to him.
what makes it worse is that with choyce, honor moved from desire, not dependence. which means he is capable of wanting and choosing outside of survival—just not in the way navy needed. that’s a hard realization for her and for readers.
choyce, on the other hand, wanted to feel desired and prioritized. for someone who had her choices stripped from her, that makes sense. but she went about it in destructive ways. sleeping with honor and then expecting loyalty from her sister after using her as part of a plan was unrealistic. she’s both misunderstood and deeply misguided. i do think she deserved better, just not that situation.
relationship-wise, honor and choyce felt like convenience and lust. honor and navy felt like survival and shared trauma. neither felt like intentional love.
and that’s where i struggled with honor the most. it wasn’t just the betrayal, it was the lack of remorse and the way he moved after. coming home like nothing happened and still trying to be intimate with navy made it feel like she was only a priority when he needed something from her.
i also think navy moved on too quickly from his admission about choyce kissing him. between that, not feeling desired, and not feeling understood, she made her own set of poor decisions. i don’t condone cheating, but i do think it’s worth noting the difference in how they handled it. navy felt remorse. she created distance, even in small ways, like not letting him touch her until after she showered. honor didn’t show that same level of consideration.
and honestly, whether navy cheated or not, it feels like honor would have eventually crossed that line with choyce anyway. it’s not lost on me that he cheated without even knowing about navy’s actions. which suggests this wasn’t reactive—it was already building. he was already playing with fire.
i also think the lack of romance between honor and navy really impacted how their relationship was perceived. we didn’t get to see them have fun, go on dates, or just enjoy each other. compared to the other couples, there was no space for softness or joy. the only romantic moment i can recall is the ballroom scene, and even that came after betrayal, which undercuts it.
so when people say navy didn’t deserve honor, i genuinely don’t understand what exactly she was missing out on. she didn’t get vulnerability, romance, or a sense of being chosen out of desire. she got responsibility and sacrifice.
to me, this isn’t a story about one person deserving another. it’s about three people who didn’t understand love trying to create it anyway.
navy wanted to be chosen, wanted, and desired.
honor wanted the freedom to choose.
choyce wanted to feel desired and prioritized.
and instead of communicating those needs, they hurt each other trying to fulfill them.
i honestly think they just needed time apart to heal. neither of them got the space that the other couples did, and it shows.
they were all wrong in different ways, but i don’t think anyone was the villain. they were all products of their circumstances, trying to love with tools they were never given.
PART 2 (review)
what ultimately disappointed me the most is that by the end, the story itself didn’t feel true to the characters it built.
it started to feel like the characters were no longer making decisions based on who they were, but based on who the author preferred.
and that’s where it lost me.
because honor was established as a very specific kind of man—disciplined, intentional, deeply devoted to navy. so for him to pivot into cheating in such an intimate, reckless, and unprotected way didn’t feel like a natural progression. it felt like the story bent him to make a certain outcome happen.
and once that happened, everything else started to unravel.
because if the characters are no longer consistent, then the emotional stakes don’t feel earned anymore.
and knowing that the author favored choyce and openly didn’t like navy makes that imbalance feel even more apparent in hindsight. it feels like choyce was always meant to “win,” regardless of whether it aligned with the story that was being told.
and that’s frustrating—not because i needed a happy ending, but because i needed an honest one.
this one felt chosen, not earned.
and that ending… having navy be the one to kill honor felt like too much. like the final act of a relationship that was already built on sacrifice and self-abandonment.
this book really just confirmed for me that i don’t like love triangles or “why choose” dynamics. not because they’re inherently bad, but because when they’re rooted in unhealed people, it stops feeling romantic and starts feeling like emotional collateral.
Part 1 (analysis)
i think a lot of the conversation around honor, navy, and choyce flattens them into “good” or “bad,” when really all three of them are operating from the same root issue: they never had real agency or guidance, so their understanding of love is shaped by survival, not intention.
honor, navy, and choyce all wanted something very specific, but none of them knew how to communicate it.
honor wanted the ability to choose. he spent his life without real autonomy, so when he finally had it, he exercised it in the only way he knew how. that’s why him choosing choyce—twice—matters so much. it directly proves navy’s point.
navy didn’t just want to be chosen. she wanted to be wanted and desired too. those are three different things.
being needed is about survival.
being wanted is emotional preference.
being desired is romance, pursuit, intention.
honor gave her reverence, dependency, and worship—but not real, intentional love. he saw her as a savior, almost like a god, and no human can sustain that without breaking. and she did. in trying to maintain that “angel” role, she kept secrets to protect him, but it only created more distance and mistrust. she didn’t trust him enough to handle intimacy beyond survival, and it cost them both.
i also think it’s important to note that navy seeing honor as “broken” didn’t just come from what she witnessed as a child, but from what he consistently showed her. he only came to her when he needed saving, when he was at his lowest. so her perception of him was shaped by those moments. if the only version of someone you experience is them in crisis, it’s hard to see them as whole.
and i think that’s where things get even more layered. navy might have been able to evolve past that perception of him being broken if he had allowed her to experience him outside of those moments—if he came to her in joy, in peace, in desire, not just in need. but he didn’t. so her understanding of him stayed rooted in survival, just like his understanding of love.
at the same time, navy was asking a very simple question that never got answered:
“if you didn’t need me, would you still want me?”
and when honor finally had the space to choose freely, he chose choyce. so her fear wasn’t unfounded.
but even that “choice” with choyce feels complicated. because while honor frames her as something he actively chose, choyce is actually the one who had to decide for both of them that it would only happen once. she’s the one who put a boundary on it. which raises the question: did honor really see choyce as a choice, or was that just the language he used because it was easier than admitting something deeper?
he says he wanted navy to hate him, but that doesn’t fully land. it feels more like he didn’t want to admit that he was simply a man who gave into temptation—and more importantly, that he might not have stopped if choyce didn’t. there’s a difference between making a calculated decision and losing control in a moment you didn’t resist.
and even before that, there’s the question of access. as disciplined as honor is portrayed, how did choyce get close enough to kiss him in the first place? navy clocked that immediately. people don’t cross physical boundaries like that without some level of openness, even if it’s unspoken. it would have felt more honest if he admitted that he wanted it, at least on some level, instead of framing it as something that just happened to him.
what makes it worse is that with choyce, honor moved from desire, not dependence. which means he is capable of wanting and choosing outside of survival—just not in the way navy needed. that’s a hard realization for her and for readers.
choyce, on the other hand, wanted to feel desired and prioritized. for someone who had her choices stripped from her, that makes sense. but she went about it in destructive ways. sleeping with honor and then expecting loyalty from her sister after using her as part of a plan was unrealistic. she’s both misunderstood and deeply misguided. i do think she deserved better, just not that situation.
relationship-wise, honor and choyce felt like convenience and lust. honor and navy felt like survival and shared trauma. neither felt like intentional love.
and that’s where i struggled with honor the most. it wasn’t just the betrayal, it was the lack of remorse and the way he moved after. coming home like nothing happened and still trying to be intimate with navy made it feel like she was only a priority when he needed something from her.
i also think navy moved on too quickly from his admission about choyce kissing him. between that, not feeling desired, and not feeling understood, she made her own set of poor decisions. i don’t condone cheating, but i do think it’s worth noting the difference in how they handled it. navy felt remorse. she created distance, even in small ways, like not letting him touch her until after she showered. honor didn’t show that same level of consideration.
and honestly, whether navy cheated or not, it feels like honor would have eventually crossed that line with choyce anyway. it’s not lost on me that he cheated without even knowing about navy’s actions. which suggests this wasn’t reactive—it was already building. he was already playing with fire.
i also think the lack of romance between honor and navy really impacted how their relationship was perceived. we didn’t get to see them have fun, go on dates, or just enjoy each other. compared to the other couples, there was no space for softness or joy. the only romantic moment i can recall is the ballroom scene, and even that came after betrayal, which undercuts it.
so when people say navy didn’t deserve honor, i genuinely don’t understand what exactly she was missing out on. she didn’t get vulnerability, romance, or a sense of being chosen out of desire. she got responsibility and sacrifice.
to me, this isn’t a story about one person deserving another. it’s about three people who didn’t understand love trying to create it anyway.
navy wanted to be chosen, wanted, and desired.
honor wanted the freedom to choose.
choyce wanted to feel desired and prioritized.
and instead of communicating those needs, they hurt each other trying to fulfill them.
i honestly think they just needed time apart to heal. neither of them got the space that the other couples did, and it shows.
they were all wrong in different ways, but i don’t think anyone was the villain. they were all products of their circumstances, trying to love with tools they were never given.
PART 2 (review)
what ultimately disappointed me the most is that by the end, the story itself didn’t feel true to the characters it built.
it started to feel like the characters were no longer making decisions based on who they were, but based on who the author preferred.
and that’s where it lost me.
because honor was established as a very specific kind of man—disciplined, intentional, deeply devoted to navy. so for him to pivot into cheating in such an intimate, reckless, and unprotected way didn’t feel like a natural progression. it felt like the story bent him to make a certain outcome happen.
and once that happened, everything else started to unravel.
because if the characters are no longer consistent, then the emotional stakes don’t feel earned anymore.

I'm so heartbroken!
Don't like how Honor's story ended and never will. He deserved so much better and I hate it came to that. It really breaks my heart, yes, I understand the sacrifice but damn he went through so much. He and Navy were supposed to be each other's end game. I'm so hurt like I knew him in real life. The world he lived in was so cruel to him and everyone who surrounded him. In my mind he and Navy got their happy ending. So I'm going to Men In Black this ending and pretend it doesn't exist. Beautiful story and saga, I truly enjoyed it. Cried real tears for Honor because we have all been him in life.

Dear Readers,
I’m not even going to pretend I finished this book gracefully.
I didn’t.
I slammed my Kindle down so fast because what in the entire hell was that, Kellz? They did not have to do my boy like that. I’m still sitting here trying to process it, and honestly… I’m not okay. (Cue the tissue box)
Honor II didn’t just end—it left a void. The kind that lingers. The kind that makes you question everything you just read. I kept stopping, rereading, asking myself: Did that really just happen? Did he really say that? Did she really do that? It was constant whiplash in the best and worst way.
And Honor…
Honor will NEVER be forgotten.
Watching him from the beginning—through Wolfe and Chosyn’s story, into River and Crown’s, and now here—there’s a weight to him that never really lets up. His past wasn’t just sad, it was disturbing. Abusive. Heavy in a way that shapes everything he does. And you see it in how he loves, how he protects, how he needs the family he built with Navy, Crown, and Wolfe. That kind of loyalty doesn’t come from nothing. It comes from surviving things that should have broken you.
But Navy… yeah, I struggled with her.
Her insecurity, the constant emotional decisions, the guilt she carried but never fully owned. It made her hard to stand behind. And that’s what got me. As the daughter of the head of the Mancinelli Mafia, I expected more awareness. More control. Instead, she moved off emotion, off impulse, and the consequences felt inevitable. Still… I can’t fully blame her. None of them were forced. Every choice made was their own.
And Chosyn…
Some of her choices didn’t sit right either. Loyalty felt blurred at times. But again—these are grown people making real, messy decisions. That’s what made it hit harder. There were no clean hands here.
Choyce, though… she surprised me.
Her evolution from Honor I to Honor II gave just enough to make you lean in. You either loved her or you loved to question her. Watching her navigate the aftermath of Lucian’s abuse—and everything tied to Honor… yeah, that part lingers. I’m still unpacking it.
What I did love—deeply—was the healing.
Seeing Crown, Wolfe, and Honor in therapy with Dr. Lockhart felt real. It wasn’t surface-level. It touched on trauma bonding, childhood wounds, grief—the kind of stuff that doesn’t just disappear because you want it to.
And that line…
“When someone meets you at your lowest, they can freeze you there—even if they don’t mean to.”
That stayed with me.
Because it’s true. I’ve lived that. People fall in love with your broken pieces. They learn that version of you so well that when you start to heal, it confuses them. Sometimes they don’t even realize they’re holding you in a place you’ve outgrown.
That hit deeper than I expected.
This entire series (Every Story) served a purpose. You don’t just read it, you experience it. You grow attached. You pick sides. You feel love, anger, disappointment… sometimes all at once.
And Honor II?
It was a finale I didn’t see coming.
It made me love harder. It made me judge harder. It made me sit with things I didn’t want to sit with.
At its core, this book is a constant pull between being a choice and being chosen. Between survival and letting go. Between holding on to life… and realizing that sometimes, peace doesn’t come the way you want it to.
And that’s the part I’m still stuck on.
Because what do you do when surviving isn’t the same as living?
Yeah… I’m still thinking about that.

I didn’t.

First Things First, The 5-Star Rating Is Soley For A Well Written Book
Plot? I AM UPSET 💔💔💔💔💔
I Spoiled The Ending For Myself By Reading The Reviews And My Heart Hurts So Much Because It Was Not Supposed To End Like This.
Watching Honor Fall In Love With Choyce, In Real Time Was Something To Me. I Strongly Dislike Choyce, She Was Entitled And Only Cared About Herself. Because Actually, Why Did You Feel Like Someone's Life Long Partner Belonged To You? Let's Get Into That.
I Am Upset Because Honor And Navy Deserved Their Happily Ever After. All Those Sacrifices, Endurance, PAIN, All For Nothing? Absolutely Heartwrenching.
What Was The Purpose Of Introducing Solace And Why Did He Hate Honor So Much? Is It Because Of Navy? What's The Conclusion There?
When Is Mekhi Going To Find Out The Truth About His Parents?
Are Crown And Navy Going To Be Okay After Everything???
This Was Such An Anti-climatic Ending To The Series, I Am Gutted.
And Again, If Choyce Has No Haters? Then I Am Dead Like Honor 👍🏽
Lastly, The Author Had The Executive Decision To Give Honor And Navy Their HEA. It's Literally Fiction? And They Were So Deserving. Why Want To Hurt Them Like That? Crown And Wolfe Get To Live HEA And Honor Did Not? WHERE IS THE JUSTICE???
Deeply Upset 👍🏽💔

I’m crying as I type this review 😭
Kellz Kimberly really wrote the hell out of Honor II, and it shows. This book pulled every emotion out of me. Honor is unraveling, trying to hold onto a life that’s slipping through his fingers, and you feel every bit of that chaos, anger, and pain.
His relationship with Navy… whew. It’s tense, complicated, and built on shared scars and a loyalty that almost feels suffocating. The kind of love that feels like both peace and war at the same time.
The secrets, the emotional weight, and the realization that sometimes loving someone means letting go… yeah, this one hit deep. Hands down one of my favorite series.

🥲🥲🥲
Wheew, this finale had me deep in my feels. I didn’t cry but I was def on my way to tears, lol! I think Honor was a very complicated yet honorable man. He wore the weight on his shoulders but truly, he didn’t need to do that. 😩Navy was his best part but also his crutch. They shouldn’t have been together as long as they were together. I have some reservations about Navy because she was in her right mind yet failed to right her wrong in regard to Mekhi - perhaps, now she will tell him the truth. There’s no true reason to continue living in fear or continuing to keep secrets. I grew to actually like Choyce, I love her friendship with Syn and wouldn’t mind seeing more of both characters. This was a solid finale.

I can’t even put into words what this series means to me but this wrap up.
This book was great and I felt every emotion in the book. Her writing is amazing and I find myself constantly highlighting and taking it in. I took my time with this.
I hope readers realize this is NOT a romance book. It’s urban fiction and it’s heavy.
I’m so mad at you Kellz Kimberly for the way I feel right now.

wow… what a way to end the series. This book had me completely invested from start to finish. The emotional weight of the ending really hit hard—I’m still not over it. Honor deserved so much more, and that final outcome left me honestly devastated. A powerful, unforgettable conclusion that will stay with me for a long time

Man…..
I normally don’t even leave reviews but this book was too good not to. Honor and Navy really took me through there. And while I wish it would have worked out differently in the end…it had to happen that way. I was definitely thinking Navy should just walk away. But now I’m over here wondering if Choyce is pregnant and where Solace is going to show up again.

I usually don’t get emotional over books but I was emotional. The growth that everyone had and how everyone was intertwined. I can’t wait to see what’s next even though it sent me into a reading slump lol.

Why…
I can’t believe you did this too me.. It’s release day. I read this book in 5 hours and 17 minutes. Every emotion hit me. Every single emotion came out. But, I ended with happy tears, hope, and belief in real life (not fantasy) love. I have so much more to say especially about you as a writer but my therapist said “You did exactly what you were suppose to do.” This series and this ending Top 3 Best Urban Romance Series, periodt.

Another 3.5 for me. WHAT AN ENDING! Was not expecting that to turn out how it did at AT ALL. I'm glad Honor was finally able to open up and release some of the things he was carrying. I hate that Navy went through all that she did. The growth Honor made was nice to see and I wish it would've been more. I also would've like to see Navy sort of her things and feelings (and see if Solace popped back up). But I'm happy Navy got to go away with Mekhi.

HONOR HONOR HONOR!!! I have to words to describe this man other than his really what his name is. Loved that he got his own book and got to see his back story. Defo my favourite out the brothers. Navy was such a let down FMC and Honor deserved more than her and how his story ended.
Overall great serise just not impressed with its ending.

Deep sigh.... couch lady.... come sit for a second because this one doesn’t just hurt it lingers. HONOR II is not a story you simply finish. It’s one you feel long after the last page like something got pulled out of your chest and didn’t get put back right.
Honor and Navy they were supposed to make it. Through all the pain, all the chaos, all the love that felt heavier than anything else they were supposed to find their way back. That was the hope we held onto.
Instead we got heartbreak. The kind that makes you sit in denial, replaying moments, looking for clues that say this isn’t real. There’s no way this is how his story ends. No way the man who carried so much, who fought so hard, who loved so deeply just gets reduced to this kind of ending.
As if I hadn't cried enough those letters took me out! 9 letters right?? 7 maybe 8 letters accounted for. I’m holding onto that. I'm grasping for straws and wanting a different outcome. Counting them, analyzing them, searching for something that says there’s more to the story. It has to mean something. It can’t just end like that.
What makes this hit so hard is that Honor didn’t just exist he sacrificed. He gave pieces of himself over and over again for the people he loved. In the end he gave it all I’m not ready to accept that it was his life. I refuse because this doesn’t feel like closure it feels like a pause. Like something unfinished. Like the story is still breathing somewhere, even if we can’t see it yet. I think I need it to be 💔 This book broke me a little. Not even gonna lie. When a character feels real their loss does too.

Honor, Gravehearts & Hard Decisions
Whew… Honor 2 took me on a full emotional spin cycle, and the Gravehearts made sure I felt every single turn. As much as I’ve grown attached to these characters, I can honestly say I’m at peace with how it all wrapped up. The ending wasn’t what I expected, but it carried the kind of weight that made sense. Anything else would’ve felt forced.
I stayed on edge the whole time, catching a few hints here and there, but still bracing for impact. Now Navy… I wanted to be mad at her so bad, but when you really sit with everything she carried, all that layered trauma and pressure, it’s hard not to understand her choices. She was moving from a place most people wouldn’t survive in.
And Honor? He was his name, through and through. Solid, loyal, and standing ten toes behind what mattered. His love wasn’t soft and pretty, it was firm, sacrificial, and limitless. The kind that makes hard decisions when there’s no clean way out. He chose his people, and in the middle of all that chaos, still found something real and unconditional.
This series really put me through it. I felt anger, confusion, frustration, and love all at once. It’s one of those stories where you don’t just read it, you carry it for a minute after. I may not have agreed with every move, but I understood the “why” behind them… and that’s what made it hit.
Kellz, you snapped with this one. No question. This series? Top tier.
Whew… Honor 2 took me on a full emotional spin cycle, and the Gravehearts made sure I felt every single turn. As much as I’ve grown attached to these characters, I can honestly say I’m at peace with how it all wrapped up. The ending wasn’t what I expected, but it carried the kind of weight that made sense. Anything else would’ve felt forced.
I stayed on edge the whole time, catching a few hints here and there, but still bracing for impact. Now Navy… I wanted to be mad at her so bad, but when you really sit with everything she carried, all that layered trauma and pressure, it’s hard not to understand her choices.

Well Written… but Heavy and Messy
Going into this I had a bad feeling about it. I didn’t want this book/series to end so I went in expecting not to enjoy it. I’m sticking with 4 stars because this is a well-written book. The storytelling is strong, the characters are layered, and the emotional impact is undeniable.
That said… there were parts I didn’t love. Some moments were hard to sit with, and not always in a way I enjoyed. That’s more about my preferences than the writing itself, but it definitely shaped my experience.
There are a lot of moving pieces in this story. Honor steps outside of his usual circle (including a visit to Crowne’s couch lady), Choyce and Chosyn are trying to figure things out in the middle of everything going on, and Navy and Honor’s relationship is strained in just about every way imaginable. Nothing about it feels easy, and the tension stays high throughout.
The author says it herself, this is the closing of the chapter for the Gravehart Grove family. You see growth, but it comes through conflict, hard decisions, and a lot of emotional weight. And by the end… it’s hard to say whether they’re better or worse for everything they’ve been through. I’m still sitting with that.
Reading this book often felt intense in a way that didn’t always leave room to breathe. In the end, I can appreciate what the author set out to do, even if parts of it didn’t land for me.

Switch Flipped
Damn, that ending alone is five stars, I cried real tears 😭. However there was a whole book of BS before we got there.
I get it, everything about Honor and Navy’s situation BUT it still doesn’t truly make sense.
Navy wanted to be seen as something she NEVER was. Twenty plus years with someone and now it’s not enough. Her insecurities is what got to her because of a hatred she had with Choyce. To top it all off, it was HER father that she should have done something about. You knew what he was capable of and instead of understanding what he was doing to your man for so many years you made Honor feel guilty.
Honor was not honorable. He took things into his own hands rather than allowing his brothers plus Killan and Syn to maybe come up with something different. You can be a protector but be open to help because if protection is the end goal nothing is off the table in establishing that goal.
I won’t speak on Choyce because girl …
Syn, I’m glad she’s made a friend BUT, first you on some I’ll kill you first trying to take out Navy, then you in some do you and get it out of your system. Nahhhh.
I want to know more about Kage! And Killian and Kyzer!
Chosen was on some BS too, not about her sister but about Navy and encouraging that mess with Solace after the fact. She went hard at that dinner though.

A lot of people don’t like how the book went. I understand that but it honestly was a great book. I cried so hard at the ending of this book!!!! Everyone is so used to happy endings and I’m glad this took the turn it did ! Not everyone gets a happy ending and people fail to realize that.
Choysn- Respectfully, I would have beat yo ass, because you played both sides and made navy feel delusional for thinking your sister slept with her man. Your loyalty lies with navy not honor. Your sister made her bed and now she has to lay in it.
Honor- I feel like navy deserved to get her back cracked by solace the way you bussed it down on choyce. You pissed me off fr lol ! I’m mad she only got her kitty ate.
Navy- You should have left that man so he could crash out behind you. I wanted you to be THAT girl but you were at war in your head fr. You ain’t stand on business, after that man chocked me I Would have dialed solace number so damn fast it would have been a crime!
Great book lol I don’t know why everyone so mad!

Nope
So this book was NEEDED. I loved every bit of frustration it put me through 😭 I loved hating some of these new characters and even though the ending was a tad bit predictable, I still was NOT ready for that.
I can’t even give a full review without spoiling the whole series, but the character development, growth, and changes? Absolutely necessary. And whew… Kellz Kimberly knew exactly what she was doing because “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran describes them perfectly.
Now let me be honest… Navy ended this series as my least favorite person 😒 I’m still processing everything because this book gave TRAUMA, secrets, lies, highs, lows… it gave EVERYTHING. And I’m sorry, I’m still not accepting what happened because to me it’s a lie 😭😂
This series was so well balanced and well written from start to finish. Kellz Kimberly definitely gained a new fan because now I need to dive into more of her catalog ASAP.
1000/1000 ⭐️ If you haven’t read this series yet, PLEASE DO. You will not be disappointed.
