PIVOTAL SCENARIOS HAPPEN IN BOOK 19

Arssen & Skye spend quality time throughout this book when he has Abby for his weekend visits, with Abby becoming more & more enthralled in wanting to be with Arsen & Skye.

Lydia her mother is not pleased with this now close relationship @ the end of the book, which could lead to complications for Arsen's weekend visits with Abby in the next ongoing Book 20 You Are My Life.

I'm glad skye pulled her head out of her ass

Skye was a bitch to jasmine and it was ugly to read. Clementine is still an asshole but o don't think I'll ever like her. Never been a fan of Lydia and I don't think that's going to change. I'm waiting to find out who is attacking Sean.

Like it

I like where this is going, getting more info on the parents is nice. Intrigued by that story line. Frustrated with Clem, like Theo and Thomas working things out. Ready for the family to get together! It has been too long, give us that ASAP!

[Cathy-Ann Cass · Rating 4 out of 5]

Still gripped by the character but writing a six year old being carried and put down for naps and some of the girls speech is nit in line.

Would like a bit more insight into Roland’s physical trails too.

i hated jasmine in the first few books, but i think i'm starting to like her now. just a little bit.

[Katherine Beers · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved Roland coming out, and Arsen & Silke getting together, but there was so much petty drama, it was annoying.

Great series

This is a great series with several characters that rolls through all of the books in the series, it’s why I recommend you read them in order.

Roland, he finally starts making steps to tell people about who he really is. I just know that the rest of the gang will accept it as well. I can’t see any of them refusing to accept it but I’m more concerned about his parents, it will be a bigger shock for them and I’m not sure how they will react to it all.

Excuse me whilst I sit here in silence for a second, I mean I am so not convinced Skye isn’t pregnant, it sounds to me like she really is pregnant. That would be seriously different and the first of the next generation. Does that mean we will get their books too? I wouldn’t say no to that to be really honest. There is something so addictive about these characters and the family driven series like this one.

Arsen and Silkie! I am so happy that these two found their way back to each other. These two are truly meant to be together. I can sense that Arsen wants more commitment but I do not think Silkie is quite ready for that level of commitment but hopefully she will change her mind because these two are stronger and much better when they are together.

Slade and Arsen! My two top favourite males spending quality bonding time together is always good. I want these two to be brother in laws one day so this is just perfectly apt for them to grow as friends and then family. I do think Cayson has a point but at the same time Slade is always going to be his best friend. I don’t see why he can’t have both Arsen and Cayson as friends as well. I hope this doesn’t get worse because drama, no thank you.

Ward and Clementine, the back and forth thing is beginning to get on my actual nerves now. I understand that she’s hurt and that it is having an effect on her. I can’t and won’t argue that point because that’s fair enough but please seriously she really needs to let go of it all. Move on or get back with him but no more back and forth, there’s only so much a reader can take before it gets irritating.

4 stars!

So loving how the gang interacts. Enjoying seeing the guys grow and fall in and out of love.

Glad we had more of Skye and Carson, was missing them. He has not matured as well as some of the others, but I still love him.

Loved Skye's reaction to Roland's news, not sure how Sean will take it though, but I tend to agree with Skye, he will be OK, even though he is going through a tough ole time at the moment.

He has the love of Scarlet, but also his brother too. Hope he get to the bottom of the problem.

Slade has really grown, his love for Trinity gets deeper, he is also making the effort with the new members of the group.

Carson is being very odd with Slade, its as if he is jealous that Slade is reaching out the the others.

Silke and Arsen are enjoying becoming re-acquainted its nice to see. I wondered when Lydia was going to throw a spanner in the works, I think she was hoping she could get back with him.

Clementine, Clementine, Clementine!!!!! Get over yourself. I think she has been over thinking the whole Ward and Skye situation, I sincerely hope its not the end of th road for them two though.

Glad Conrad is moving on, and getting on with his life. He seems to be enjoying the job with his Dad, and also his reaction to Rolands news was such a great scene to be read.

I'm really pleased Rhomas finally accepted Theo as his brother, and glad that Theo was right where he was when he was needed, when Rome's ex took their daughter. We got to see a really vulnerable side of Thomas.

I hate Cayson seriously give the guy a slap in the face how he date treat Ward like that Ward is better than him in every point in life I thin I'll never like this character he's mean it's ok if Clementine suffer about her break up What *** **** and Skye and Trinity please Jasmine deserve some respect even if they had apologize to her I was so mad and heart broken to read this book

Abby mom is a mean and jealous ***** what's her problem with Silke she don't even know the girl and she snapped on Arsen btw I'm so excited to read Arsen and Silke pov marriage and baby soon please lol

I'm so proud of Thomas and Theo omg o was so scared about their chapter my heart stop during a little second.

So this one I was knd of iffy because it felt like the story went to quickly for me in this next one in the series. Don`t get me wrong as each book goes by we learn more of this family and all their quirks. I have to say though I laughed at Cayson how he is feeling towards Slade and Arsens new friendship. It was like seeing them in middle school fighting over ther friendship and jealousy. Now Arsen I love that everything is coming together for him and Silke. Yet it seems a little slow for me wanted them to be together right away but loved the slow seducton in a way between them. Roland as usual is still taking things slow and just want to hit him in the head to make up his mnd. Have to give kudos to Heath for staying this long with him I would have gven up way long time ago. Hoping next one is not as quick as this one and see what else is in store.

Auf das Gefühlschaos in diesem Teil war ich nicht gefasst. Trinity und Slade‘s Hochzeit steht kurz bevor und die letzten Vorbereitungen lassen kaum Zeit für etwas anderes. Clementine und Ward scheinen irgendwie Fortschritte zu machen aber irgendwie auch nicht. Alle anderen kommen auch Zusprache und ich habe gelacht und und ein paar tränen vergossen und sich teilweise die Luft angehalten weil es wirklich spannend war und ich nicht wusste wie es ausgehen wird. Daher konnte ich es auch kaum weglegen. Diese Reihe macht von Buch zu Buch immer süchtiger. Ich bin froh das es immer weiter geht und bin gespannt was sonst noch auf die Clique zukommt.

[Ary Alcantara · Rating 5 out of 5]

Im so glad that Roland came out to Cortland and Skye and Cayson also I'm very happy about the way they reacted accepting him. Now he to tell his parents and the rest of the gang and I know they will be very accepting too. Clementine can't denied she's Cayson sister so damn hardheaded I wish she doesn't regret treating Ward the way she's doing it. Theo and Thomas it took a tragedy for Thomas to accept his brother back in his life and let the past go. I feel bad for Arsen cuz I smell baby mama drama. Im still hooked can't stop reading

Need to get s better editor

[Melissa Winden herr · Rating 5 out of 5]

Omg so many cliffhangers

I love this series but I wish that some things would actually start happening by the time the next book comes out it leaves you with such a taste wanting the next book to happen that you going through withdrawals and the books are so short that you feel like you never get to know much about the characters are so many characters and so much going on that I'm so curious I can't wait for the next one No ones married no one as kid

[Veronica LaRoche · Rating 4 out of 5]

This series is very addicting. I love all the characters and can't wait to see what happens next. I'm hoping that Ward & Clementine will work out there problems because both are hurting without each other. Trinity & Slade are going strong as are Cayson & Skye but I was hoping she was pregnant. Love Arsen & Silke but something tells me Lydia is going too be a problem. Can't wait to see what happens next


I voluntarily reviewed this Advanced Reader Copy of this book
