Life goes on for Joe, D, Sarah and Jack…
Starting 24 hours after Joe's slamming D's car door shut, Part 2 continues telling their story.
And there is still a lot to tell: What happens to D’s promise to accompany Pete to a party? How does her trip to London turn out? Or does she even go? And what about her job application?
How is Joe going to proceed after what she told him? And why shouldn’t Sarah hang out with Jack some more – given her brother’s not exactly sunny mood lately?

Wow this is great. Omg the chemistry between Joe and D is amazing. The love they have is genuine and my heart skips a beat. Now to see Jack and Sara might developer something is to sweet. And Pete is just Pete, just didn't like him. All the main characters made this book wonderful. As before I'd give this more than five stars. I jump pinto this book not remember ing all that happened in the first. It all came back, now that's a great book. I really don't like spoilers so no details here,sorry. Can't wait for the next book.

I loved this book! Probably liked it even more than the first one. Not only because of the much happier ending.
I will not go into detail regarding the story but I want to say this: Just like in the first book, Joe and D have some amazing chemistry going on between them, and we find out more about how Sarah feels about Jack and where that leads. There are some interesting flashbacks to the time when Joe and D first met and to the time in London when D got together with Pete. Also some things about Sarah and her ex-boyfriend.
Throughout the book there is countless amazing dialogues, unique cuddle scenes and nice well-described locations (London, cabin at the lake…), and it’s all written in a way that never gets cheesy, keeps you on your toes and feels like it could happen anytime in real life.
Really looking forward to another part of this!!!
Can’t wait to see what happens next.

No no no no no... (SPOILER-ish rant)
I thought this books were about a love story based in forgiveness and second chances, and instead I found a plot of an emotional codependency, due to a strong lack of female self-esteem, based on silence, betrayal, lack of understanding and a complete lack of male awareness and acknowledgment.
I should have listened to my instincts and leave this series since the first book, because this story is not about mending a loving relationship but the continuation of a dysfunctional interaction.
Yikes.

Good, solid and realistic love story EVEN FOR GUYS. Not the usual sweet, predictable plot with shallow dialogues but a fun, fast-moving story with twists (good and bad ones) like in reality. There is a good balance between male and female POV and it’s not told from the first person perspective, which is a big plus for me. The way the characters talk to each other is like listening to myself, my girlfriend or friends.
I'm ready for more anytime!

October 1, 2019Hi!
I still don't know the right words to express my gratitude to this great man Dr. Abdullahi mustapha. After been diagnosed of HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS 18months ago, I was given so many health prescription and advice with no improvement, I totally lost hope, until I found testimonies of Great Dr. Abdullahi Mustapha in herpes website on how he help them cure their herpes disease and other deadly diseases our doctors say no cure yet. I contact him to try his herbal treatment method for my self and he told me the cost which I accepted. I sent him money and my address to send the medications and he started preparing it. Five days after I receive the medicine he sent over to me with some guidelines on how I will be using it which I followed. after the first three days of usage I started noticing great change like all pains gone, inching has stop, blisters clearly wiping off. After four weeks I felt normal and healthy again like I use to be. I went for check up, to my greatest surprise the doctor said I was cured at first I felt I was dreaming but it was a reality. my test report came back negative. Thank God, I was cured from herpes by the herbal medication I received from Dr. Abdullahi Mustapha. I never thought that i would ever be cured from herpes from the bottom of my heart I'm truly grateful to you Doctor. I pray you have long life so you can help many more people on earth with your herbal medical support, You can Email him via email drabdullahimustaphaherbalcare@gmail.com One thing I love most about DR abdullahi mustapha is honesty, everything he told me was what he did, I really want to thank God for using Dr Abdullah mustapha to bring me back to life.

FRENCH EDITION:
J'avais vraiment adoré la première partie de l'histoire, mais quand j'ai appris qu'il allait y avoir une deuxième et même une troisième partie, j'étais vraiment super excitée!
Le style d'écriture de Billy Wood-Smith est toujours aussi génial, à mon goût. Et l'histoire entre D et Joe prend un tournant inattendu. Je pensais vraiment que c'était la réticence de D qui ferait tout capoter. Mais j'i vraiment été surprise par son personnage, je ne pensais absolument pas qu'elle essayerait d'appeler Joe encore et encore et encore. J'étais déjà surprise qu'elle l'appelle une fois.
Mais au final, c'est Joe qui fait traîner les choses entre eux; les rôles s'inversent dans cette partie de leur histoire. Par contre, il est toujours le même: il finit dans les bras d'une autre quand ça ne va pas à avec D (Christine, la serveuse, et bien sûr, Liz!)
Au fil des pages, j'essayais de trouver le mot parfait pour décrire la relation entre D et Joe. Et je l'ai trouvé. Irrésistible. Irrésistible pas dans le sens où on l'utilise le plus souvent de nos jours, mais vraiment dans le sens du bon vieux français. Irrésistible: auquel on ne peut pas résister. Et c'est vraiment ce qui se passe entre Joe et D. On peut le voir dans chacun des personnages, que ce soit dans la première partie du livre, ou bien dans la seconde. Malgré le fait que D ne veuille pas rester chez Joe, et que Joe ne veut pas voir D, ils finissent par manger une pizza et *SPOLIER* coucher ensemble. Et tout ça parce que les mots sont sortis de la bouche de Joe avant qu'il n'ait pu y penser. Et ça, je dirais qu'on pourrait appeler ça le destin.
Je suis contente par contre, que l'histoire ne soit pas seulement centrée sur D et Joe, mais aussi sur Sarah et Jack. Je pense que cette relation a un énorme potentiel. Le seul risque, c'est qu'il y ait trop de similitudes entre les relations D-Joe et Sarah-Jack.
En attendant, j'ai vraiment envie de savoir ce qui va se passer, si D va aller à Londres, ce que va faire Joe, ce qui va advenir de leur relation, et comment va évoluer la relation entre Sarah et Jack. Beaucoup de points de suspension, qui auront leurs réponses dans la troisième et dernière partie, j'imagine.
NOTE: UNE ALCHIMIE IRRESISTIBLE
Disclosure: Je remercie Billy Wood-Smith de m'avoir envoyé son livre et m'avoir permis de le lire gratuitement.
ENGLISH EDITION:
I really loved the first part of the story, but when I learned there was going to be a second and a third part, I was really excited!
Billy Wood-Smith's writting style is as awesome as in the first part, according to me. And the story between D and Joe has taken an unexpected twist. I really believed it was D's reluctance that will blow up the relationship. But I was really suprised by her character ; I never though for one second she was going to call Joe again, and again, and again. I was already suprised she tried to call him once. But in the end, it's Joe who is trying to slow things down; the roles are reversed in this part of the story. But, deep down, he is still the same: he ends up in the arms of another woman when things aren't all pretty with D (Christine, the waitress, and of course, Liz!)
Through the pages, I was trying to find the perfet word to describe the relationship between D and Joe. And I finally found it. Irresistible. Irresistible, not in the meaning of nowdays, but really in the meaning of the old, good french. Irresistible: impossible to resist to. And that's really what is happening between Joe and D. We can see that in both of the characters, whever it is in the first part, or the second part of their story. Despite the fact that D doesn't want to stay at Joe's, and that Joe doesn't want to see D, they end up eating pizza and *SPOILER* having sex. And all of that just because the words flowed out of Joe's mouth before he could even think about it. And, that, my friends, I think it can be called destiny.
I'm also glad that the story doesn't only focuse on D and Joe, but also on Sarah and Jack. I think this relationship has a huge potential. The only risk is that there will be too many look-a-like between D-Joe's and Sarah-Jack's relationships.
Anyway, I really want to know what is going to happened, if D is going to go to London, what Joe is going to do, what is going to occur of their relationship, and how is going to evolve Sarah and Jack's one. Many dot dot dot, that will have, I guess, their answers in the third and final part.
RATING: AN IRRESISTIBLE ALCHEMY
Disclosure: I thank Billy Wood-Smith for sending me his book, and giving me the opportunity to read it for free.

Perfect sequel! It made me chew my nails and gave me goosebumps. I love Joe and that he’s not a vampire, billionaire, Rock star or whatever the heroes of most romance books are nowadays.
It’s great how the story shifts perspectives and locations when Joe and D are not one place. I loved the scene where Joe remembers how they first got together. It gave me a better idea of how things developed.
My favorite parts were (I’ll be careful not to spoil things) Joe and D having pizza on his bed, Sarah and Jack having the PJ/BJ exchange and Sarah and Joe talking about Jack fixing something in the bathroom. That was to die for.
If you want a love story that feels real, I strongly recommend this series!
