Onyx #3
Love
Onyx's tour is winding down, but things are continuing to heat up.
With just the European leg of Onyx's World Tour left, Kate and Onyx are looking forward to visiting some of the most romantic cities in the world. But with delayed flights, petty tour promoters, and accommodation issues, things aren't going smoothly in Europe either. Thankfully, Kate and Onyx have got each other to lean on.
One of Onyx is hiding a secret.
A secret which could not only unsettle everything that Kate and Onyx have built, but could also destroy the group's dynamic's completely.
When the secret slips out, in a very public way, it's up to Kate and Onyx to work together to fix things between themselves so they can fix things with their fans.
Only, this time, it's going to be easier to keep the fans happy than it is to keep each other happy.
ONYX: Love is the third book in a 'Why Choose' fast-burn romance and ends in a HFN. This book contains strong language, sexual situations, some MFM, and one member who likes to watch... If none of that is your thing, you should probably spare yourself and not read this.
Join Onyx on their "Our Truth" World Tour now!
Although the Onyx series is part of the Atlantis Universe, the series has been written in a way that you do not have to have read any of the other series to enjoy this one!

I Thought Book 2 Was Good, Boy Did Book 3 Knock It Out If The Park!
You Want An Awesome Spoiler?
There’s A Cliffy!!
So It Ain’t Over Yet!
I Love This Series So Much!
I Give This Book A Glorious 5 out of 5 Stars
Heat: 5/5
Romance: 4.5/5
Suspense: 5/5
Drama: 5/5
There is so much Drama, and with this reality like universe it’s all very realistic. Nothing was over dramatized, it was all completely logical, plausible and some areas down right shocking to jaw dropping.
Everything was written well paced, not at all rushed at any moment and the book was able to breathe.
The Suspense is strategically placed throughout, but especially near and at the ‘ending’ aka the Cliffy, it left me bewildered and you left craving the next book in the best way!
I literally can’t even share the huge list of mental questions that had risen as soon as I saw the mention of a Book 4, because it would give everything away!
The Heat: There are a lot of scenes, and I was so happy! And they were all yummy!
Was never disappointed, especially knowing that there will be more to come and maybe even MORE Smexy scenes? Can’t blame a girl! LOL
The Romance: It was definitely definitely there and as upfront as it could be without getting caught.
MinMin is definitely still my favorite, and I don’t think that’s gonna change Lol

Huh???
***SPOILERS***
I love this series in general but I have to give this book 2 stars because how are the ACTUAL MANSLAUGHTER CHARGES NOT ADDRESSED?!?!?!
I don't care how crazy the press is for Kpop groups. That's irrelevant. They were literally chasing them and PHYSICALLY RAMMIMG their vehicle. Multiple people died because of the physical manipulation (ramming) directly done by a press member. If they saw the press and then just decided to speed up and run a red light for and that caused the crash, sure. But they were literally been physically ran off the road. That is a manslaughter charge and in some countries a straight murder charge. It was never addressed. Just "Oh these people are dead" and then brushed off as if "the press is crazy for Kpop groups. It's normal."
Even in Korea, where Kpop is originated from, they would NOT let them get away with actual murder. And there were also so many witnesses. The ones that died deserved better. Like what the heck? This is a major oversight by the author.... Yes there's more books in the series and it can be resolved later. But to LITERALLY not even be addressed for the charge that it is? No police statements or reports? What? I'm disappointed.

Steamy and Emotional KPOP RH
Onyx: Love threw me for a loop. Ji Soo Lee is a master at developing characters in realistic ways at a believable pace but Onyx Heart takes that one step further. Lee takes some of the male leads (particularly Jiwon and MinMin) cracks them open and gives us a glimpse behind the KPOP mask. At times I found myself tearing up as the characters grapple with difficult issues like standing up for your beliefs even when they go against everything your blood family has taught you.
Steamy (!) and fun scenes still pop up throughout the book but I was particularly moved by the characters and their development. I'm so glad that there's another book left in the series as I'm not quite ready to say goodbye to Kate and the men she loves.
Contemporary RH fans if you've been debating picking this up - stop and run to download book one. You will not be disappointed with these relationships! If you're a KPOP fan this is for you too. I love seeing behind the scenes of a world tour and the reminder that my favorite KPOP idols are human too.

YES!
+More "reverse harem" goodness!
+Sungmin is kind of supportive of this relationship, but sets clear rules for them! Just be good! Easier said than done.
+Oooh! Jiwon and MinMin drama! Poor MinMin. First he was the forgotten member, and now he's the target of Jiwon's rage.
+Bisexuals of the world, unite!
+Plenty of three-some action!
+We get to know the guys a lot better in this book, including MinMin. Finally!
+Everything that can go wrong during a world tour does go wrong. Seriously. Holy crap. I did not see any of that coming.
NO!
-Kate, once again, reminds us that she's not fluent in Korean. Although this time she mentions that the guys speak more slowly for her benefit. That still doesn't explain her expansive vocabulary in order to have any of these conversations in the first place!

Again another meh book. This book just again didn’t quite hit. I/m not sure if its because the author is Korean and everything is not translating right or maybe I just didn’t connect because of only Kates POV, but I want more than just sex from Onyx and Kate. They find each other hot. Cool. What else? I can’t really remember if any of them were like, “I love how you color your style your hair unafraid of what others think”(just a random example I used) or anything like that to give me any indication that what they feel was more then surface deep.

Welll....
While I'm enjoying the read I guess I felt this book was not really moving forward for me. I'm happy that the relationships have progressed a little bit it just seemed this book was problem thrown in problem and it made it a little stressful and not as fulfilling to read. Don't get me wrong I think this series definitely has merit but I wasn't find of this book. Hopefully the next picks up better.

Adorable, but Dark
Still absolutely adorable relationship, but holy wow did things get dark in the world of K-Pop. It's actually really crazy from an outside perspective. I'm addicted to this series.

Who needs sleep!
Once again a fanfreakingtastic addition to the series. So much has happened and so many things I didn't see coming. This series is definitely fast becoming an all time fave.

The story was just okay quality-wise. Too little plot for a plot story, too little spice for a sm*t story—it was kinda stuck in the middle and felt lacking. However, as a light read, I still enjoyed it despite its flaws.

Jong B!!! CX!!! The books in the Onyx series keep me up all night reading and leave me with a wicked book hangover the next day.

I had to push through this book because Kate annoyed me to no end. She kept saying their careers were more important but she kept risking them. There was too much of a stereotypical American.

Just a very fun read. Some stuff is ridiculous, but I enjoy the characters and you just can't take it too serious.

This tackled a lot of outside conflict for the guys of Onyx and Holly to deal with, but it was fun, even if OTT at times. I still love getting to spend time with these characters. I also think it's interesting how the RH relationship is developing in this series; very different to how it was approached in H3RO so I'm enjoying that. A few minor editing issues. One thing that keeps sticking out to me (it's been in all three Onyx books and the H3RO books) is the author's incorrect usage of 'sat'. It's a complete bugbear but it is jarring, and it is used multiple times in each book so it's memorable. For example, it will read "we were sat on a sofa" or "I was sat on the bed". If this had been corrected during the editing process (and I'm not sure why editors aren't picking up on this), I would have said this book's editing was damn near perfect. Otherwise, this was just so much fun so it's definitely a 5 star read for me. Bring on the next book!

After Heart, you probably thought “oh they caught Damien the Dick, it’ll be smooth sailing on their European leg of the tour.”
insert J.S. Lee evil laugh
In Love, Kate is still continuing her relationship with her men and continuing to try to hide it from the public. She and her men learn more about each other, how better to communicate, and how to function together as a polyamorous family of sorts. J.S. Lee did a great job at creating some character depth and individualizing the band members (something hard to do with so many characters!).
Love is full of suspense, angst, drama, and super hot sex. It ends on a slight cliffhanger, but I wouldn’t have it any other way!

I am so happy with book 3 Onyx: Love and extremely excited to know we get even more of Kate and the Onyx Boys in a fourth book of this series! I wasn't ready to say goodbye. I love the character and relationship growth in this book. Kate and her boys have grown even closer through all the bad things testing their relationship. Between crazy stalker fans, hospital visits and hotel photos (eek), will Kate and Onyx finally be able to be together safely? Hopefully we will find out in book 4!

Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! DRAMA!!!
(Shut up, I'm drunk.) First the European tour manager trying to sabotage them, then Anita the crazy fan being cray-cray, and then a fatal bus crash?!? To be fair, the only reason I remember there being sex in this book is because it included MinMin. Thank goodness Jiwan finally got his head out of his ass and spoke out publicly in support of LGTB+ folk. I was actually rooting for Kate to break up with him for most of the book because he was being such a dick.

OMG, where to even start! I absolutely love this series!! Kate is so awesome, I love watching her fumble all the guys. This book really gets your emotions in a twist, but I love it. There are some interesting interactions between the guys, but you'll have to read it to see! I can't wait for the next!!
