The Knights #3
Until Forever Ends
Gabriella Alvarez is sunshine personified. She’s the girl who walks into a room and makes you feel seen. And so, it’s hard to believe the girl who radiates positivity and is friends with everyone would be struggling with emotions she never thought she’d feel. At least that’s what she tells herself.
Jagger Spears is the captain of the basketball team, notorious for being exceptional in bed and for his laid-back personality. But behind the easygoing smirks and flirty words, he’s not coping well with his final year of college, battling past demons and grappling with a debilitating case of imposter syndrome.
Through it all, Gabriella and Jagger have each other. They’ve been best friends since childhood, growing up and living together, and yet, they maintain the facade. They slip on their masks, desperate to appear fine.
Until one night.
They make a promise that it won’t mean anything. But then it becomes all they can think about, wishing it would happen again while knowing it can’t.
But the lines have already been crossed. Soon it’s complicating their friendship that for years has been nothing but platonic, making them question everything and wanting more.
But in wanting more they’ll have to open up about what they’ve fought so hard to keep hidden.

i read this for landon and juliana crumbs and i should’ve just reread their book..
from book one, we know that gabby and jagger are making the journey from best friends to lovers. i thought because i’ve loved all the e. salvador i’ve read this year that i would be convinced to fall for this trope, i was wrong. i’m sorry i just can’t. there is no pull for me in these book, plus this one did have a repetition problem, but i just can’t go over and over and back and forth with the “we’re friends, that’s all.”
gabby and jagger both have very compelling and well written personal plots and that’s why this is rated what it is. gabby is dealing with a lot of emotions regarding her separation from her parents, her DACA renewal, and misplaced guilt. jagger has a hard backstory regarding the trigger warning in this book so definitely check that before reading. i think they both go through so great growth but it’s overshadowed by the boringness of everything else. not to bring up landon and jules again, but they had so much push and pull. i get not every book is an enemies to lovers but when you take that away you need something. gabby and jagger love each other the whole time, platonically then romantically, so i didn’t feel their relationship growth that much.
this is kinda a very personal thing, i feel like if you enjoy best friends to lovers with a hint of college sports romance you’ll enjoy this. i really like this friend group, i’m on my knees begging for saint and daisy. that is a dynamic i need to see play out. after that tho im done, jayden and cara and boring and polly is kinda irrelevant. i feel awful saying that but she could very easily be written out.

5 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I already knew when I picked up this book that it was going to hurt a little. That’s one thing I love about E. Salvador’s books. Her characters are raw, messy, and so real that I can’t help but get completely wrapped up in their stories.
I was so excited for Gabby and Jagger’s story. These two have been childhood best friends who became each other’s lifelines, and I loved watching them navigate everything life was throwing at them. They’re both carrying so much, but they never stop showing up for one another.
Jagger absolutely broke my heart. His old wounds kept finding their way back to the surface, and seeing his anxiety portrayed on the page was gut wrenching. But watching him work through it and slowly find his way forward was incredibly powerful. I just wanted to give this man the biggest hug.
Gabby is struggling with feeling like she’s enough for her parents and carrying the weight of everything they’ve gone through for her. She’s such an incredible human, and I loved watching Jagger remind her that she doesn’t have to earn her worth. She was already more than enough.
And I will never get tired of the found family in this series. There’s just something about watching these people love and protect each other that gets me every single time.
This book is full of heart, yearning, tough moments, and big hugs. Gabby and Jagger’s story pulled me in completely, and I know I’m going to be thinking about them for a while. 🖤

i don’t think i’ll ever be a friends-to-lovers troupe. how do you go from being best friends for 12 years with zero romantic feelings to suddenly dirty talking to each other

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK!!!! Gabby & Jagger have my heart!! 🥹
This was such a beautifully written friends to lovers romance. What made their relationship feel so special to me was getting to watch their friendship slowly become something more. They begin as genuinely platonic friends, without romantic feelings for each other, which made the shift in their relationship feel so natural and earned. You get to experience that moment where friendship starts blurring into something else right alongside them, and I LOVED IT.
Jagger is such an overthinker, and so much of his care for Gabby comes through in the smallest moments. I felt so seen by his character 🥹 And don’t even get me started on HOW HOT THAT MAN IS!!! Easily my favourite in the series. A gesture as simple as taking his hoodie off to give to her had me SWOONING.
There’s something so raw and human about the way E. Salvador writes her characters. They’re messy, complicated and deeply emotional without ever feeling like their struggles exist purely for drama. Both of their struggles really hurt my heart.
Gabby and Jagger’s journey completely won me over, and I had SO MUCH FUN reading this book. I already miss them. 😭🫶🏽🩷

Review of advance copy
⚠️ (ARC)This review may contain spoilers if you haven’t read the first two books in the series.
★★★★★
First of all, I want to thank E. Salvador for giving me the opportunity to read this ARC. I was genuinely SO excited when I received the email because this series has become one of my favorites, and after everything we went through with these characters in the previous books, I was dying to finally get Gabby and Jagger’s story. And honestly, getting to read the final book of The Knights series as an ARC felt so special.
Until Forever Ends is the third and final book in The Knights series, and it follows Gabby and Jagger, two childhood best friends who have been through so much together. Their relationship has always been so important to them, and I loved getting to see what happens when their friendship starts becoming something more. There’s so much history between these two, which made every moment between them feel even more meaningful.
Gabby absolutely stole my heart. Her story really touched me because of everything she has had to carry, especially with everything surrounding her family and the struggles she has faced. I loved how strong and kind she was without making her feel perfect or untouchable. She has so many emotions and fears underneath everything, and watching her deal with them made me want to hug her through the entire book. Gabby, you have my whole heart.
And then there’s Jagger… this man BROKE me. From the beginning of the series, I knew there was so much more underneath his personality, but getting to see his pain and everything he had been carrying was honestly heartbreaking. His struggles with his mental health and the way his past continues to affect him made his story incredibly emotional. There were moments where I just wanted to reach through my Kindle and give him the biggest hug.
I also really loved the way the author handled Jagger and Gabby’s relationship. They already had such a strong foundation because of their friendship, and I loved seeing that slowly turn into something more. Their love felt like something that had been growing for years, even when neither of them was ready to acknowledge it. The yearning, the tension, the little moments between them… I was EATING IT UP.
One of my favorite things about this book was how real their struggles felt. This wasn’t just a romance where everything magically gets better once they fall in love. Both Gabby and Jagger have their own battles to face, and I really appreciated that the author allowed them to work through those things instead of making their relationship the solution to everything. Their love becomes a safe place, but they still have to learn how to heal themselves.
And I have to talk about the found family because this series has always done that so well. Seeing these characters continue to show up for each other, protect each other, and love each other made me so emotional. There’s something about watching a group of people become each other’s home that gets me every single time.
This book also touches on immigration, mental health, loneliness, healing, and the feeling of not knowing how to move forward after everything you’ve been through. I really appreciated how those themes were woven into the story because they made Gabby and Jagger’s journey feel so much deeper than just their romance.
Overall, Until Forever Ends was such an emotional and beautiful way to close The Knights series. I laughed, I cried, I wanted to hug these characters, and I definitely had moments where I needed to put my Kindle down for a second because THESE TWO 😭. Gabby and Jagger’s story hurt in the best way, and I’m so happy I got the chance to read their story early. I’m definitely going to miss this little world and these characters so much. Thank you, E., for letting me be part of this ARC and for giving The Knights the ending it deserved. 🤍

Review of advance copy received from Author
➸ 3/5 stars
Firstly I want to say thank you to E. Salvador for sending me this arc copy of Until Forever Ends.
Gabby and Jagger going from friends to a couple was definitely a major win for me. Sometimes when it comes to friends to lovers I can’t always take things seriously but with these two becoming a couple actually felt organic and believable. Even though Saint is a side character I found him so funny and genuine. The real world issues within this book were presented in a great way that led me to be a little more connected with our two main characters. I feel as people we shouldn’t shy away from real topics no matter if they’re showcased in a romance book.
Although I enjoyed these things I did have a couple of things I didn't like while reading. When I first started reading I noticed the pacing was different than I imagined it being. Things moved in a way that I can only describe as me sitting down watching a new season of a tv show. At first it was enjoyable but the more I read the more it started to deter me. In general the overall pacing of the book wasn’t my favorite thing. Some chapters were drawn out and other times things weren’t explained enough in certain chapters. There was a lot of unnecessary and repetitive detail presented and it made me wonder why it wasn’t cut out instead because it didn’t help other aspects of the book.
I truly hated how many parties were held in this, I get it college life should be enjoyed and considering I am a senior in college and around the same age as the characters I definitely understand where they were coming from but this wasn’t believable to me. I feel like a lot of the parties were written into the book as an excuse for Gabby and Jagger to sneak off and not have others around them question their actions.
While yes Gabby and Jagger’s relationship was something I enjoyed, I didn't always enjoy them as separate people. They weren’t written to stand alone enough for me. In my mind I thought that if they were to break up with each other they wouldn't have much centered around their lives to fully move on with in my humble opinion.
This isn’t my first E. Salvador book so I know how she writes her spicy scenes but the one written in this book in particular wasn't that mind blowing for me. I feel as though this is largely because I couldn’t connect with these characters as much as I had hoped. Granted there weren’t a crazy amount of smut scenes but they were cringey and clique to me rather than hot and heavy.
A lot of this book centered around communication but communication wasn’t always written strongly. Gabby and Jagger hid a lot from each other and from others around them rather than being honest. Truthfully I can understand how scary it is to talk things over but it was drawn out a lot of the time.
The snippets of Landon and Julianna's relationship wasn’t my favorite part either because I felt like it took away from Gabby and Jagger. With interconnected romance series I’ve read in the past, snippets of another couple are normally centered around the next couple and not the previous one.
Thank you Thank you E. Salvador once again for my eARC!! Pub date: October 06, 2026.

arc review - received from author
i want to start thanking E. for the opportunity of receiving and reading this arc, i was literally screaming when i received the email.
i love her books in general, but this series is one of my favorites in the whole world <3 thank you for letting me get a chance to know Gabby and Jagger on advance 🫶🏻
this book is the third book of “the knights” series, which is a college sports series (basketball to be exact) and let me tell you, you’ll be in love with every one of them.
Until Forever Ends is the story of Gabby and Jagger, two childhood best friends who lived together for 6 years because Gabby’s parents were deported from the United States to Mexico. Now they are in their last year of college, they are still united.
Despite appearances, everyone has their struggles, and both of them carry their emotions and problems, and choose to deal with it on their own. Even if they have each other, they sometimes find themselves drowning. One night, a party, a kiss, a promise and everything changes, but that will also complicate things, won’t it?
📸 Gabby is the most perfect and kind girl, her story for me hits different. I’m so close to stories like hers because of my daily work, and the pain, the mental and economic struggles that are crossed in those processes always touch my heart. It’s so nice to see her resistance despite her situation. Gabby, you have my heart chiquita, and I want to be like you, see the good in others and not let the pain cloud you for bad, but use it to be better.
🏀 Jagger from the first book I have you in my sights, I knew that behind that mask of not believing in love, there was a soft soul with a huge heart. His pain is not fair, thanks to E. for making that situation visible, we deserve more characters like Jagger; mental health is important for EVERYONE. You don’t know how much I cried with his story, it hurt, but his way to heal also made me happy. (and well, his nicknames for Gabby in Spanish had me SCREAMING and blushing).
💚 “are you with me?”; “i’m with you.”
What a painful story, but it’s worth it. Every page of this book is worth it. Thank you for representing mental health, the difficulties of the path of being an immigrant, the despair of healing, the loneliness you feel for being a victim, the anxiety of not knowing how to move forward. Jagger and Gabby, you two are beautiful, I love you.

I’ve been anticipating Gabby and Jaggers story since 2024 and I can say that the wait was so worth it!! 💚🌼
As always, thank you to @e.salvadorauthor for sharing an e-arc of this precious story. It’s an absolute honor to share this review and to have read this beautiful book. You are constantly writing emotionally moving romances that truly mean the world!
E. Salvador brings us another beautiful vulnerable romance with so much love and affection. Gabby and Jaggers story is so incredibly special, it has the slow burn that is perfect for a childhood best friends to lovers requires.
This is a couple who has gone through so much and stand stronger together. They truly understand what it means to love unconditionally and wholeheartedly 🤍
The individual character arch’s that Jagger and Gabby go through are so important. The conversations had between these characters are so raw, deep, and emotional.
I appreciated the representation of being a first gen Mexican college student within Gabby’s character. It’s so monumental to her education and who she is as a person. Gabby is also a DACA student, whose parents were deported when she was younger. This isn’t a topic that is brushed aside, which I respect so much. We see the impact of this in Gabby’s everyday life. In which we see her grieve and fight for her family. This is such valuable representation to see in a romance novel ❤️🩹
Jagger as a leading man is exactly the kind of energy I need from a future partner. He’s messy, complicated, but resilient and passionate. I admire his ability to always be present for his friends and close loved ones. Seeing him prioritize his own self and mental wellbeing was so inspiring, this man attends his therapy sessions and despite his hesitancy at first puts in the effort to learn. It’s rare to see health therapy rep for young men in media in general!!
Gabby and Jagger are willing to wait until forever and honestly I'm with them till the very end, This is your sign to read The Knight Series

It’s rare to see health therapy rep for young men in media in general!!
Gabby and Jagger are willing to wait until forever and honestly I'm with them till the very end, This is your sign to read The Knight Series

Until Forever Ends by E. Salvador 🌼 💚 ☁️
Gabby and Jagger's book hit me unexpectedly. For some reason, I didn't think that this book was going to make me as emotional as it did, and I had no idea what E had planned for them. You see pieces and bits of their friendship as you read the first two books of the series, and a lot of their personalities are not entirely what they seem. They're both struggling in different aspects, and no one around them notices.
Jagger is an overthinker who is struggling with trauma and his self-esteem; yet to everyone he portrays a man who is cocky and sure of himself. Reading Gabby's story with DACA and the separation from her parents hit me hard, especially with the current climate. E shows the desperation of not being close to your family, the loneliness it brings, even if there are people around you, and how complex the system makes it so that a person is just able to live a normal life.
What to expect:
🌼 Best Friends to Lovers
💚 Slow Burn
🌼 Mental Health Rep
💚 Found Family
🌼 College Sports Romance
💚 Latine Rep
Also, being able to relieve moments from my FAV COUPLE (Landon and Juls) was TOP TIER! I loved seeing them again and how their relationship blossomed. Let's not forget about SAINT! There are so many crumbs in this story that already set up what I know is going to be a DEVASTATING book! I CANT WAIT!!!
Thank you E for letting me read Gabby and Jagger's story a bit early. It was an honor!

Okay so I’m done and all I can think is finally….
Look this book wasn’t horrible it had some really great aspects. I love the friend group ovbs because I read the first two books, I thought jagger and gabby had some sweet moments I did laugh in the book and smile. I liked the parts about DACA and going through what deportation was like for Gabby and her parents. Especially right now with everything going on in America.
However it was too long for what the story was. I felt like it was repetitive and drawn on. It went from a 5 star to a 4.5 to a 4 and then ultimately to a 3. I had to take breaks because I was getting bored. I’ve read all of this authors book and this was by far my least favourite. There wasn’t anything really exciting it all felt really predictable. I did feel cringed out quite a few times as well which is a first for me with this authors books. 🤷🏽♀️
Will I still be reading the next book? Yes! Because I’ve dying for Saint and Daisy’s book.
this was a very anticipated read for me so I’m just disappointed at how boring it was.

Jagger and Gabby 🥺
Jagger is such a lover boy trapped in a fuck boys body because of his trauma and it GUTTED me. Watching him go through so many emotions all the time was so raw and unfiltered and depicted perfectly. Gabby’s journey was no less emotional. My heart broke for her again and again, as a mother idk what I would ever do in a situation like this. I loved getting more educated on this whole process and how unfair it all actually is. This book is an emotional rollercoaster full of crumbs, tears, laughs, and heartfelt moments that all together had me crying real tears.
In E we trust!!!

"i want it all, until forever ends, and even then, when it does inevitably end, our souls will always be tethered to each other."
e. salvador will forever remain one of my favourite authors. she has a very special way of writing, and it will always make me emotional. her characters are real, raw, different, and similar all at the same time. every single character is moving through life differently, but they all have a family behind them ready to support them when they need it. that is one thing i will always treasure about her writing.
it's so important to me that gabby and jagger had known each other for as long as they did because it was such a beautiful experience to watch each of them fall in love with the other. jagger fought it so hard, and the way he denied wanting gabby only makes sense for someone who has been best friend's with the other person for as long as they had been best friends. his journey with falling in love was palpable and so believable. there were certain things about his character that resonated so deeply with me, which is probably why i felt so much when reading his pov. his journey with anxiety and self-deprecation is absolutely real, and i feel for him so hard. what happened to him as a teenager absolutely ripped my heart out for more than one reason, and witnessing him work through it and start to talk about it with certain people had me crying into my kindle. that man deserves the absolute world and more.
gabby is such a beautiful soul. her story was a very special one. there is so much character growth on her end from the first page of this book to the last one. watching her grow into herself and acknowledge certain feelings was so important to me. from her journey with DACA, to finding herself, discovering what she likes and doesn't like, to falling in love, and so, so much more, gabby is one of the strongest characters i have read, and has quickly become one of my favourites. her story is one that deserves to be told, and i'm so grateful to have been an early reader. she is so cared for by jagger and her group of friends, and she deserves every bit of it. speaking of her friends, the scene with julianna and the insult jar had me crying all over again. i remember crying over it in only with you, but reading it again in gabby's pov had me sobbing. gabby is more than enough, and i wish i could tell her that.
if you haven't read anything by e yet, i promise that every tear and smile are worth it.
thank you so very much to e. salvador for the e-arc! i will forever cherish gabby and jagger ♡

Until Forever Ends caught me off guard in the best way. I knew Gabby and Jagger’s story would be emotional from the past two books in the series. I had no idea what these two characters were going through behind the scenes, which made their journey to their HEA so sweet.
The thing I love about friends to lovers stories is how effortless it is to be together when two people already know each other so intimately. One kiss and Jagger was the poster boy for “it’s always been you, how did I not notice sooner”, and I was here for it.
The depth of Jagger’s character/struggles made my heart ache. The author did a great job of showing how trauma (I won’t spoil what happened) has lifelong effects on how people see the world and themselves. Jagger essentially had mentally given up on himself - one kiss changed Jagger’s life, making him realize that maybe he had something/someone to live for, which encouraged him to seek the help he needed.
Gabby’s trauma was of a different nature. I can’t begin to understand what being a DACA recipient is like, on top of (physically) losing your parents when they were unexpectedly deported. Gabby, much like Jagger, was the epitome of “smile on the outside”, while drowning on the inside. I’ve said before this author excels at how she represents mental health journeys. It was beautiful watching Gabby and Jagger have the support of each other as a safe space as they each worked through their individual traumas.
As usual - the found family aspect of this series is top tier. These characters unconditionally love and support each other. I ate up every scene where the strength of the friendships was beautifully highlighted. Gabby and Jagger’s friends showed up for them, which is what we all want from our loved ones.

“Are you with me?”
“I’m with you.”
Dios, este libro lo ha sido TODO ❤️🩹
Jagger y Gabby son literalmente perfectos. No he podido dejar de fangirlear con ellos, llorar con ellos, sentir ira por ellos… Cada uno arrastra un trauma que, en mi opinión, la autora ha sabido explicar muy bien y en el que ha ahondado de manera respetuosa y coherente.
Me encanta la relación tan sana que tienen, cómo su amistad se mantiene a lo largo de toda la historia y saben comunicarse como adultos que son (aunque a veces las inseguridades les jueguen malas pasadas). Son auténticas almas gemelas 💞
¿Y qué digo del found family? Simplemente maravilloso 💜 La amistad de las chicas y de los chicos, cómo se apoyan en sus batallas y se animan siempre… Es que no los puedo querer más. Me ha sorprendido mucho en especial la relación entre Landon y Jagger, y hay una escena entre ellos que me ha hecho llorar (bueno, como la mitad del libro, porque ese FINAL, uf) 🥹
Si cuando digo que E. Salvador es de mis autoras favoritas es por algo 🥰

queen e. did it again!!! she gave me the best book ever for the billionth (6th) time! icon!!!
i loved gabby and jagger more than anything!!! my sweet little babies have gone through so much in their lives and came out okay in the end. they grew so much, whether they wanted to or not, throughout the story. both gabby and jagger put in the work to be the best people they could be—as individuals, friends, and as a couple

Rating: 5 ⭐️
Spice Rating: 🌶️🌶️.5
Tropes:
*childhood best friends to lovers
*he teaches her
*mental health rep
I fear everyone is going to be surprised when I say that this is officially my favorite E. Salvador book and one of my favorite reads of the year. I can’t describe it in any way except utter perfection. I stayed up until 4 am (on a school night…) reading this and bawling my eyes out because I absolutely adored Gabby and Jagger and I related to them so so much. This was the most beautiful slow burn with the best angst, but I need to take a second to talk about the mental health rep. Masking is something we as a society don’t talk about enough, and I loved how E. Salvador approached every topic in this book and how important mental health was to the storyline and how different people deal with trauma and mental struggles. Also, the emphasis on consent and the topics surrounding the double standards we have when it comes to people’s boundaries was so so important to me and beautifully expressed.
Gabby, ugh my heart goes out to her and story, and knowing that others are living experiences similar to hers breaks my heart. I’d never heard of DACA, and I’m so grateful to E. for introducing me to it because I think it’s important to know about and understand the impacts it has on families. Her struggles with feeling nothing and everything spoke to a part of my soul I’ve kept hidden for ages, and I absolutely understood her want for intimacy as a way to finally feel something.
Jagger, oh my please don’t even get me started on this amazing man. I adore him and I’m not going to lie…he might have replaced Danny as my top E. Salvador man (we all know Saint is really going to be number one but we don’t have to get into that now…) His masking was so relatable and his own issues with sex were so important to address and I loved how E. handled the sensitive topics. Seeing him open up, trust, and love was the most beautiful thing ever and while this man has a DIRTY mouth, he also has a beautiful way of showing love and tenderness and I just ugh I LOVE HIM!! The desserts 🥹the lights??? The painting?? Stop it now I can’t take it!!
This is one of the greatest books ever and I genuinely don’t know how I’m going to recover because I bawled my eyes out for hours over it. UTTER PERFECTION!! 10/10 no notes I wow, E. Thank you!! Thank you for the ARC and thank you so much for writing this story.

“I hope in my next life, it gets to be her and only her.“
I really fell in love with Gabby and Jagger’s story and this line is one of many that made me cry. E Salvador never lets us down with her swoony men and emotional reads. I just wanted to keep reading and cannot wait for the rest of the series.
Throughout this series, Jagger is adamant love is not for him and he does not believe in it. Gabby is our hopeless romantic and is tired of waiting for things to happen. These two have been best friends for years and one kiss might change everything.
We love an acts of service man and Jagger was the biggest acts of service man in this. I kept saying are you kidding me and what do you mean throughout this book. He was had the biggest heart and giving it to Gabby, who not only has a big heart too but is a sweet baby angel, I was literally tearing up and melting simultaneously. And the way that Gabby and Jagger spoke to each other and took care of each other, I loved every single part of it. I cannot even begin to explain the emotional growth these characters had and the way that E Salvador wrote it was mind boggling. And don’t get me started on him brushing braiding her hair. It’s literally one of my favorite things to read in a book.
This book is at the same time that Only with You takes place and getting Jagger and Gabby’s POV’s was everything to me. We got to read about the scheming to get Juls and Landon together and Landon’s fight with Cole. And not only did we get to see those two characters but others and more crumbs for future books that I was absolutely locked in on. The way she writes these books, you just want to know all the things about each character.
E Salvador is one of my favorite authors and I will read whatever she writes. E never misses I swear.
Thank you to E Salvador for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Review of advance copy received from Author
I love this series and everything written by e. salvador. Everything is always written with so much care and I can feel her passion.
It is so clear that even though neither of them have ever consciously realized that they are in love, they have been in love for a long time. It only took a stupid drinking game for them to make out and never be able to go back. They are immediately enamored with each other and have no idea how to react.
Every conversation that he has with his therapist where he brings up Gabby and his therapist insists that he has a crush, and he will never admit to it. He simply describes every aspect of a crush and says well I don’t have a crush on her. Jagger literally has never kissed someone of his own accord but he wants to keep kissing her. Gabby is a little more aware, but not by much. Jagger has so much guilt and shame from something that was never his fault and the fact that he never told Gabby about it really adds onto those feelings.
All of the small moments that they have really add up and make them so sweet. He’s a horrible cook, but he’s trying to learn to make the rice that her mom made for her since she hasn’t had it in a decade and she really misses her parents or every time they go to their little flower field to have a conversation and they just are able to be so honest with each other.
He never thought that he would be able to love someone and be good enough for them but Gabby gives him hope. They are the light in each others lives and can’t live without one another.
As with the other books, the friend group is also amazing. I love that Saint was very much aware that they were together the whole time and was trying to keep it a secret. They are truly a found family and it makes me very happy.

💚 “My bones dance for you, my lungs beg for you, my heart beats for you, my soul aches for you in the most devastating way, and I don’t know what to do with it.”✨ Until Forever Ends
Thanks to the author for the opportunity to read this early. I stayed up insanely late all weekend to devour this beautiful story. E’s writing hooked me since reading Please Don’t Go and I read the first two books in this series earlier this year.
This is Book 3 in the Knights Series and focuses on Jagger and Gabby. They’re childhood best friends who share an unbreakable bond, with each of them carrying their own heavy wounds. This book follows their friendship as they find out that maybe their friendship was meant to be more.
As always I appreciate the care and representation E. brings to her Latino characters. From their relationship with their parents, to the hardships they face as immigrants.
I cannot talk about E.’s beautifully written stories enough. I can’t wait for you all to read this one!

4.5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ARC REVIEW
These characters have all my heart❤️🩹
They are so raw, real and amazing.
Jagger’s trauma was really hard to read especially the flashback scenes but they were so well written I cried for most of them💔
His friendship with TJ and Landon is so cute and seeing how they really supported him was so touching.
Gabby, my gabby.
My sweet girl😭
Feeling like you always need to be happy and be grateful for something but it’s this thing that breaks you seems so hard.
She is always there for her friends and she has such a big heart.
And let’s talk about their relationship.
Both romantically and friendly.
They made me laugh so much especially in the awkward phase of her wanting to discover sex😂
But no matter what they were always there for each other and that was so heartwarming to see.
Falling for my bestfriend trope is one of my favorite of all time.
And this book dit it really well.
One thing about E. Salvador book?
They are spicyyyy🫣🌶️
We love it like that
I can’t wait for the next book in the Knight series🏀
These characters have all my heart❤️🩹
They are so raw, real and amazing.
Jagger’s trauma was really hard to read especially the flashback scenes but they were so well written I cried for most of them💔
His friendship with TJ and Landon is so cute and seeing how they really supported him was so touching.
Gabby, my gabby.
My sweet girl😭
Feeling like you always need to be happy and be grateful for something but it’s this thing that breaks you seems so hard.
She is always there for her friends and she has such a big heart.
And let’s talk about their relationship.
Both romantically and friendly.
They made me laugh so much especially in the awkward phase of her wanting to discover sex😂
But no matter what they were always there for each other and that was so heartwarming to see.
Falling for my bestfriend trope is one of my favorite of all time.
And this book dit it really well.
One thing about E. Salvador book?
They are spicyyyy🫣🌶️
We love it like that
I can’t wait for the next book in the Knight series🏀

Jagger is just a loverboy, OMG 🥹

5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Releasing October 6th
E has done it again, omfg. This was probably the best friends-to-lovers story I've read. There was no one-sided unrequited crush. The feelings between Gabby & Jagger surprised both of them. It was such a good slow burn. 🤗
While we learned a little about Gabby being a DACA recipient in Only With You (book two) I appreciated that we not only got to learn a little more about the actual process, but Gabby's emotional struggle.
I was the most surprised by Jagger's silent suffering. I really appreciate that, as the reader, it was unexpected based on his previous appearances in books one and two. I think E did an amazing job of showing, not telling us, that you really don't know what people are going through.
Them slowly realizing that they like each other, and maybe have all along, was actually beautiful. They just needed one college party game to make them see each other differently 😌

Just as I suspected, this book made me tear up several times! Gabby and Jagger have had to face so much in the dozen of years they’ve been in each other’s lives. I love how dedicated they were to each other, even when they couldn’t see what was right in front of them. I loved the way that they talked about each other. “Your soul is magic” That’s so beautiful and the way Jagger learned to cook so he could make the foods from home she loved! And his comfort song is a song she used to sing all the time as a child, like c’mon! This is why we love best friends to lovers.
Now I will say I knew this book would be long and it definitely was, so ready yourself for that. I wouldn’t be mad if it was a bit shorter but I still enjoyed it overall.
Thank you to the author for this eARC! All views are my honest opinions.

From the very first book, I said Jagger was going to be my favorite, and I was absolutely right. What a man. Maybe Saint can surprise me in his book, but we’ll see…
What a great friends-to-lovers! I enjoyed this book so much. It made me laugh and cry. I felt everything.
Jagger was everything to me. Everything he went through, how it shaped the way he feels in the present, and watching him grow and evolve throughout the book… I love him.
And Gabby also broke my heart. Her parents, her situation in the US… Representation matters!
