Dark, Dirty, and a little bit Nerdy. Kalia Rose writes characters that you hate to love and love to hate. Her books take you on a rollercoaster of emotions but will leave you oh so satisfied at the end.
When she was a teen, she was obsessed with Stephen King and all horror. She wrote dark poetry and stories to pass the time.
Her debut novel, Roll For Initiative, started as a dare from a friend. "Dare you to write a spicy book," they said. And so she did.
When Kalia isn't writing, she is either playing video games with her husband, taking nature photos, or simply curled up with a new book.
Thank you so much to author Kaila Rose for the advanced copy of I Never Stopped Loving You.
After being an arc reader for the Scarred Fox duet and loving it, I was so excited to be an arc reader for her newest book. From the very first pages I knew that I was going to love this just as much, if not more and I was absolutely right.
From the dedication that just screamed fun and quirky Kaila, to the crazy epilogue, the introduction to Noah’s dark side and then the sexy, flirty side in the elevator scene where we first experienced a Noah/Willow interaction I was already fully invested. Throw in the best BFF ever Jenna and the loveable, fun cousin Jeremy, a questionably sane hacker friend/ former client Monty…and holy cannoli I was here for it all.
I was blown away by how well written this was. The storyline was addicting, the torture scenes were well executed and deliciously evil (3 words…quartering by horses 😈) Every scene felt like I was there, like a fly on the wall watching it play out in person. Noah and Willow’s burger bar/arcade date, their fun playful breakfast scenes, the spicy scenes, all of it felt like it was real life that was happening and I was a lucky witness. The scenes that showed Willow’s past were so powerful and the actions & emotions were all consuming
Noah and Willow’s soulmate connection was so beautiful and swoon worthy. I loved Noah’s memories from their childhood and the story behind little rabbit. I felt attached to them right away and things between them just kept getting better and better (and darker, and crazier, and spicier) I am so excited to see more of them in the next book when we get to explore my other favorite couple Jeremy and Jenna
I am one of Kalia Rose's Alphas and received an advanced copy of this book. My review is freely given and my honest opinion.
I've read several of Kalia's books starting with Roll for Initiative, and this one is my favorite. I love the banter, the character building, and background. I literally laughed out loud at some parts and wanted to cry at others.
One thing I love about Kalia is that she does her research. The mental health depictions are spot on. As a psych nurse, I appreciate her attention to detail and accuracy. I love how the characters are written to where you can relate to them, even if you don't have their specific mental health disorder.
Another thing I love was that Willow isn't a helpless, brainless girl to start with, but as the story continues, she gets even stronger. Noah is the epitome of a guy that will give independence but protect and build her up constantly. Noah and Willow are couple goals.
I also found the end so freaking cathartic. If you have a weak stomach, this is not for you. When I say Kalia does her research, I mean about everything she writes, including the torture. It's so realistic, it makes my dark little heart happy. If you've been on the side of the abused and have imagined what you would do to your abuser, read this (if you can mentally handle it cuz your mental health is important). You're welcome.
As for the side characters, I cannot wait for their book. They were just as entertaining as the MCs and bright so much comedy relief. No one could ask for better friends.
I’ve been given the privilege to read the arc copy of I’ve never stopped loving you………
& kalia rose has done it again. 🥵🔥
If you enjoy a little romance, a lil naughtiness, some thriller & suspense. Maybe a little crime you didn’t know intrigued your inner demons. Then this read will be for you 🥴 The way kalia has you feeling every emotion is top tier.
15 years of searching for the person you know is your soulmate, all while trying to live a “normal” life and not let to much of his deep demons seep through is how Noah made it through to where he was destined to be. Justice will be served if it’s in Noah’s hands….. but will Noah’s soulmate be found? will she run for the hills if she finds out the truth? Or will she join him in the darkness? Kalia keeps you on your toes making you want more 😈 just one more chapter 🫠
I can not wait to see what else kalia has in store for us.
If you have not read her other books you are missing out. Definitely check them out 💜
I got the pleasure of being an ARC for the first time for Kaila Rose (Thanks for the last-minute application! Very much appreciated) I'm so happy we shared a mutual friend because this book was seriously unputdownable. I had to stop my own writing because I couldn't put it down.
The FMC isn't this stupid, dramsel (dramatic damsel in distress.) She can hold her own, and that's something that isn't usually done properly.
Noah is just Ugh. That's all I can say about my man. He's set to get rid of men like Willow's father, and when she disappeared when the police sirens were flashing, he'll do anything to find her.
I can’t say it enough, this book was fricking phenomenal! I loved the character and world building, and the spice was SPICY! This is a book I wish I could read for the first time again! I loved Noah and Willow so dang much! If not for the holiday and life lifing I would have demolished this book in one day, still it only took me 3 days to read. It was so well paced and had so many points where I giggled and kicked my feet like an idiot. Monty is my personal favorite side character. Rubber Ducky will never be the same now. 😂 This book has easily pushed its way to being in my top 5 favorite dark romance books. READ THIS BOOK! It will be well worth your time. I can’t wait to get a physical copy as a shelf trophy. I can’t imagine not having this book in physical format.
For fifteen years he’s never stopped searching for her, not since the night the police sirens took over their country street and then she was just gone. Noah has dedicated his life to ridding the world of men like her father and is willing to find willow at any cost necessary. This thriller romance will have you kicking your feet right after you double check your own doors and demons are locked up tight. Dexter meets fifty shades is the best way to describe this book and it’s a deliciously wicked combination. Be prepared to lose sleep, once you pick this book up it’s nearly impossible to set down. Kaila never fails to hook me, but I dare say this is her best work of art yet.
Review... 10 star read for me... omg this book was absolutely amazing, unhinged and dark, so dark. I loved both the MMC & FMC. Both had gone through so much especially Willow. What Noah did trying to find her for 15 years, it was amazing. If you love an unhinged MMC who's a cinnamon roll just for her, spice, amnesia for FMC who had forgotten her past, Revenge. Then this book is definitely for you. Pre order now you won't be disappointed. Amazing... wow 👌
Best read I’ve had all year! Definitely a 10 star rating. Dark, unhinged and amazing smut scenes Can’t wait for a second book to this one! When I tell you it kept me hooked from the first page all the way to the last it honestly did!!
I was so lucky to have been chosen to read an ARC of this book! I had trouble putting it down, if I’m honest - I read every spare minute I could. The background and trauma are heart-wrenching but handled well, and the present is funny, empowering, healing and sweet.
Do read the trigger warnings, this book is not for weak stomachs but so worth it!
This was by far my favorite book by Kaila. I cannot get over the obsession that Noah had for Willow and how Willow will stand by her man no matter how unhinged things get.
I love when you can put yourself in the book and feel like you are living in an alternate reality. That is exactly what this book did for me I felt like I was Willow and I want more.
I am lucky enough to be one of this authors Arc readers this is the 2nd book I have done this for her and I am not disappointed. This book kept me wanting more the more I read it every female needs a Noah in there life!!!
I’m so in love with Noah and Willow! I have been hooked on Kalia’s books since I first came upon them… and this one is my personal favorite right now! Noah’s pure dedication for Willow is so intense and amazing! Check your triggers and then read this book!😍
