Review of advance copy received from Author
*I received this as an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review*
“But trauma has a way of humbling you when you least expect it.”
Ugh I LOVED everything about this book! My only complaint is that I wish it was longer! lol I was so not even close to being ready to be done with Scar and Eli’s story.
“I’m not sure when it happened. Maybe when I saw her smile for the first time. Or when she drew that first bead of blood. Or maybe it was when I saw her eyes light up as she practiced the bass. But somewhere along the way, somewhere in our hatred for each other, I decided that I would do this all over again if it meant she would end up happy, even if we weren’t endgame.”
Scar was a badass with a story to tell in Red (book 1), but after hearing the shit that happened to her, she deserves every aspect of the badass title!
“I feel safe in his arms. More than the blades strapped to my thigh, more than riding my motorcycle, more than playing with the band. I would do anything to continue feeling this again, every day, every waking minute of my life. I would let him hold me while the broken parts of me mended from his touch. He’d held every piece of me in his hands long before I knew exactly what his touch felt like.”
I didn’t know if Eli was going to meet the bar for what I felt that Scar would need. BOY was I wrong! He is everything and more. The way he takes everything he observes about her and tries to make her as comfortable as possible in their forced relationship before he even knows why he’s there to protect her. He’s also got a super mysterious bad boy vibe at the beginning.
“‘You’re dangerous, you know?’ When she pins me with a skeptical look, I gesture to the knives on the counter. ‘You have the capacity to tear people apart, limb from limb, but instead, you go after yourself. You tear your heart and soul apart without giving yourself a chance to breathe.’”
Oh and their banter was fantastic the entire way through! It had me giggling every time!
“‘Your face is loud,’ I counter. He snorts. ‘So is yours.’ I spin fast, grab a knife from my thigh on the way, and lazily point it at him. ‘I can make yours quieter.’”
I also loved getting to see more of the rest of the band and getting to see the journey they continue to go on. Although I wish we got to see a bit more of Mili and Lincoln. I’m so excited to see whose story is next and continue on this journey with them! The foreshadowing has me really needing more from Augusts POV, I’m also getting really curious about Teddie’s story, I am a bit scared for Wilder’s POV because I’m just obsessed with him and don’t know if I can handle him having any heartbreak lol.

*ARC Review*
This really put you through the wringer. You want to be on Scars side because you understand what she’s going through and why she’s so stand offish. You also want to be on Eli’s side because he’s trying to do what his best friend asked of him and he’s just being pushed away. I was really rooting for them to let their trauma out to each other so they would find their way to each other. It was a roller coaster of emotions, that I would gladly ride again.

What's better than a bodyguard romance? One where she threatens the bodyguard with knives and he get's all hot and bothered.
Every time I read one of these books I try my hardest to accurately articulate why I love these books but I give up. Just know I love this series and the found family of the band.
Thank you to the author for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
