Lust Hate Love

Fallen Angel #4

by Ella Frank, Brooke Blaine, Charlie David (Narrator)

Length: 5 hrs and 57 mins

USA Today best-selling authors Brooke Blaine and Ella Frank continue the story of sexy Fallen Angel rockers Killian and Levi in Lust. Hate. Love.

As the sexy, charismatic bassist for world-famous rock band Fallen Angel, whatever Killian Michaels wants, Killian Michaels gets.

Or at least that was the case until the band’s gorgeous new manager, Levi Walker, shot him down after a blistering first kiss.

For Levi, managing these five guys is the opportunity of a lifetime, and he’s not about to let a case of sexual desire get in his way. He’s efficient, professional, and plays by the book. But tension simmers beneath Levi’s cool exterior every time Killian’s near, and soon enough the passion boils over, consuming them both.

As the Corruption tour takes them from country to country, a heated game of cat and mouse ensues. Levi tries to deny the irresistible pull of Killian’s seductive nature, but with an attraction as strong as theirs, it’s only a matter of time before the lust-filled hate turns to love.

Lust Hate Love is the fourth book of the Fallen Angel Series and follows a new couple in the band. It can be listened to as a stand-alone or following Angel.

Lust Hate Love is book four in the Fallen Angel series by Ella Frank and Brooke Blaine. I have loved this series so much, right from the start. But for some reason, after the first three books, I never came back and finished it. Finally, I decided to remedy this travesty. And am so glad I did. I adored Levi and Killian so much.

Levi Walker was brought on as the new manager for the world famous band, Fallen Angel. Levi is a by the rules guy. And his number one rule is, never get involved with any of his clients. The first time he met Killian, he felt that spark of attraction. That overwhelming desire to sit a little closer, to keep stealing secret glances. But those are the exact things he should be avoiding. Because he absolutely will not give in. His job is too important to him.

Killian Michaels is the bassist for Fallen Angel. He’s the one who found Levi and convinced him to come to work for their band. Killian is a rock star in every way, including having different bed partners every time. He’s not the least bit interested in anything more. But then he met Levi and any interest in anyone else instantly vanished.

“Being attracted to Killian was easy. It was the staying away part that was difficult.”

These two!! Killian knew what he wanted and that was Levi. I loved that he was not easily discouraged. He knew that there was something special there, something worth pursuing. And he was not giving up!



What did I love about this book? Everything!! I loved spending time with my favorite couple, Viper and Angel. I loved the way Killian and Levi pined for each other. I loved that they were committed to each other months before they finally gave in. It’s like their bodies just new that they were the ‘One.”
We also get more of Imogen, Jagger and Slade so if possible, try to read the short novella, An Affair in Paris, to get that story.

This was a swoony, sexy, sweet and wonderful book. I adored these two. Now, I’m going right on to read Bedhead by Brooke Blaine. Even though it’s not technically related to this book, I’m hearing that we get lots of Viper time so I can’t wait.

I have been looking forward to reading Killian's story ever since he was first introduced in the first book of this series ... He has been my favorite character since the beginning and I couldn't wait to find out more about him and wants and needs...



Well... I found out about his wants and needs pretty fast because what Killian wants more than anything is Levi... the band's new manager and total hottie :P 

Too bad Levi is trying to be a professional and not giving Levi the time of day. 

Levi is not one to give up that easily though, and so begins a pursuit to win over the man's heart ... and get in his pants. 



These two were definitely "steaming" hot together, even though it did take some time for Levi to see the light and give in. 

There really isn't a lot of angst in this one and I am gonna be honest... I could have done with a bit more. That said, I am a bit of an angst-junkie, so I love it when authors toy with my emotions, I am weird that way ;)

What you will get, however, is a ton of sexual tension, some lovely sweetness and plenty of sexy times!! 



And for the Halo and Viper fans...no worries, they get plenty of "screentime" in this one as well. Though, they weren't my favorite people, with the way they acted at times. 

This one can be read as a stand-alone, but I myself advise starting with the first book. It will make things a bit more clear and you will enjoy reading this one more.

Lust Hate Love brought every ounce of sexual tension that these authors had to offer. From page one we could see how bad Killian and Levi wanted each other, and Killian was fully ready to take what he wanted, but Levi was determined to keep his distance. But after one lingering kiss it seems impossible and from there it was only more chemistry and lust between them than before. And I loved it.

I am a little sad that there seemed to not be a ton of story between Levi and Killian, and a lot of their book revolved around them wanting each other, taking what they wanted, and an explosion of heated connections. But I can't be too mad at the fact that the tension between them was done so well. It had me captivated and every page had me looking forward to more of those heated glances and stolen kisses.

Overall, this is a book I would recommend for any fans of steamy MM novels. It can technicaly be read as a standalone but I would say to read the previous books first so that you get the full story of the band. Especially the novella, An Affair In Paris, since that storyline kind of makes it's way into this book.

I have been looking forward to reading Killian and Levi's story.  I decided to wait until the New Year had passed to begin reading it.

I enjoyed their story, it was a slow burn, when will Levi finally give in to Killian.

It was fun catching up with the rest of the band and the epilogue was cute.

I have been a huge fan of Ella Frank for seven years, read all her m/m books but I have been struggling with her sex scenes in her recent books (last eight maybe), they bore me, they take too long 4/5 chapters, I tend to skim them now, never thought I would do that.

We'll finally get to hear Killian's story!

First of all - the cover? YUM!

And then Kill's story.

We already met the new band manager Levi and we immediately loved him for Killian.

And Killian is in insta lust/love/attraction with the new guy. Levi is kinda too - but he would never ever start something with someone he works for. Never (again)! Right?

Killian is not making it easy for the poor guy! LOL!



I absolutely adored this story.

We travel all around the world (or rather only Australia) on tour with the band and poor Killian is trying his best to get Levi to throw all his rules out the window!

I just loved reading this book!

Adorable, funny, rock-star-ish, sparky, sexy.

Perfect Romance! Perfect Epilogue!

Good but not nearly as good as the first three.

I had pretty big expectations with this one and it kind of missed the mark for me.

This was fast and a tiny bit insta and there were a lot of holes.

I enjoyed it, just not as much as I enjoyed the stories about Viper and Halo.

Are we done with these guys now?

[Sarah · Rating 2 out of 5]

Shallow, underdeveloped story. Rushed - few pages for each character at a time. I wasn’t able to garner any interest in either character, skimmed from early on. Shame because these characters were well done in the rest of the series.

Wtf were they thinking with the Imogen/Slade/Jagger threesome?!

[Cadiva · Rating 5 out of 5]

Full review tomorrow but that was a hell of a send off for Fallen Angel.

***

I've always been fascinated by Killian, the cool as a cucumber, sexy as all out bass player (and just what IS it about bass players, they're usually ultra sexy imho) and now Ella and Brooke give the reader his happy ending.

And what an ending, a fight from start to finish to prove to manager Levi that there was more to them than just insane chemistry.

I loved every bit of this spicy book with surprisingly loads of feels, although Halo and Viper right got on my wick in this one with their arsey ways 😁

4 'lustful' stars

I was dying to read Levi and Killian's story since the moment Levi appeared on the scene. The sizzling chemistry between them was off the charts 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

“Then why don’t you come up here and take it?”
The look he aimed my way was incendiary. “Because I’m taking a moment to enjoy you.” Levi gave another hard pull of my length and then swiped his thumb over the plump head, making me curse. “It’s not every day I have a sexy rock star in my bed.”

However, there was some spark missing for this book to be 5 stars. Maybe because everything happened so fast. Viper and Halo got three books but Killian and Levi apparently deserved only one. But I still enjoyed it very much and it was a nice ending for the series.

“So you’re sure you haven’t seen Killian anywhere? You know, before I go banging on more doors.”
Levi let out an exasperated sigh. “No, but if I see him before you do, I’ll make sure to tell him you’re having a crisis.”
“You do that.” A few seconds passed, and then Viper said, “By the way…”
“Yes, Viper?”
“When you’re trying to be a sneaky fucker, you really should make sure Killian’s clothes aren’t all over the floor first. You know. If you wanted it to be a secret.”

“Every time I see you, think about you, hell, every time I close my eyes and fucking dream about you. You make my heart pound and my knees go weak.”

4.5 stars!

A great end to this entertaining series. I've been waiting for Killian and Levi's book ever since we got the teaser for it in the third book.

Killian and Levi are immediately attracted to each other, and Killian and Levi kiss at that party, but Levi has rules, rules he doesn't cross. Like sleeping with a client.

But Killian knows that Levi is as attracted to him as he is to Levi. And he flirts when he can and Levi tries to ignore it, but Killian can't be ignored for long.

When the band goes on tour in Australia, Killian and Levi become closer, enough that they eventually give in to temptation.

Levi swears it's just lust, but then he breaks all his rules to be with Killian, so it isn't just lust. But what happened to Levi at the start of his career has made it hard for him to trust that Killian won't hurt him.

But Killian doesn't give up, and he's determined to show Levi that he's the man for him, and that he's serious about it being more than a casual hookup.

These two were hot and sweet together, and I enjoyed their scene together a lot.

My only complain, and why I took .5 off, is that the ending felt rushed. I don't know if this could have gone another book, but them finally getting together for good at the end to the epilogue with them having their HEA felt a little abrupt and too fast. I still enjoyed it for what it was, but wish it hadn't been so rushed.

Overall, though, a great book. I always love these two authoring together. I can't wait for their next venture!

Also, last book read of 2019...pretty awesome book to end the year with. Woot woot!

REVIEW: 4.5 STARS
"With him, I'd be insatiable. I already knew that."

Hands down, without a doubt, this is my favorite rockstar series by far. I cannot tell you the amount of feelings that escaped me while reading their story. The smiles, the sighs.....the undeniable attraction between these two? Oh gosh, but also the pain. The hearts on the line that seek their soulmate, that had me feeling the pull and the need. Ella Frank and Brooke Blaine will go down as my favorite writing duo. They nailed this entire series for me and I cannot be more happy than I am now.

"Being attracted to him was easy; it was the staying-away part that was difficult."

Lust. Hate. Love. Such a fitting title for this book. So many emotions wrapped up in this one, and the fact that we had two alpha personalities - learning how to differentiate that give and take would have been my immediate wonder. But knowing they could fall into what was natural for them was amazing to witness. I mean, their chemistry? Woah. I knew Halo and Viper were HOT, but knowing this simmering lava-hot pull between Killian and Levi both being denied and being the proverbial carrot on a stick, I couldn’t help but smile and read with glee while they both fought and tempted the devil with their words. Killian, oh so freaking naughty!!! YUM!! Levi was powerless to Killian’s whispers in his ear and the sexual innuendos he doled out every chance he got. I cannot smile enough through my words to say how much I loved this story.

"When I look at you, I lose my ability to think."

Gosh, their dynamic was actually atypical from what I’ve read before, so that gave me more to focus on and I loved that it was so different. The give and take was in equal parts and it was so neat to see it. What I found very relatable about them was the fact that they had their very real sides of emotion that were just theirs to witness between the two of them. I just loved them so much....I'm going to miss this band.

This kind of love between a couple is exactly why I like rocker books
These types of books are why I love reading new to me authors
This series is why.....I love reading.

With this story (and the whole series), I got to enjoy not only a love worth fighting for, but it also gave me a look into the world of misinformation and outward appearances - all things public figures have to contend with while trying to live some semblance of a normal life. Like, what do they consider "spare time" in this life they keep? I can't even begin to imagine the pace rockstars manage. So many cities in just as many days? One day away from the grind and it probably feels like the best vacation ever - so imagining how everything is on constant fast forward for these guys, it didn’t honestly feel like it was a rushed story or relationship. I love that about Ella and Brooke's words. The pace was constant, the flow was effortless, and the story was well thought out. It felt like this attraction took its time to manifest and grow into something worthy of their effort. It felt like Levi and Killian had time, yet it wasn’t quick enough because I wanted more of them together! I loved the internal battles, the mental and emotional ones they both fought. But I loved the reality behind their world too. I found it very easy to connect and fall in love with yet another rockstar couple in this series. I want MORE. More, I tell ya!! This can't be over!! {{sniffle}}

--> This book was EVERYTHING I wanted in Killian's and Levi's story. However, with the series now over, I am so very sad. This is seriously my FAVORITE rockstar series. I only wish we could have gotten a separate story for Jagger, Slade and Imogen, but being able to see the crew in this book be a part of the love story in full was rewarding. I'm excited for more books to come, and you can bet I am going to read each book they put out. I honestly can't get enough of their men...their stories. The love they share with me. They always give me the swoon-worthy reads that make my heart race, my lips curve up, and my sighs dreamy.

[Jess Brady · Rating 4 out of 5]

After reading Halo and Viper's story in the first three books and then reading the novella about Imogen, Slade and Jagger I was not too interested in Killian's story. I absolutely loved the first three books and even the novella was cute, but I felt like Killian never really drew my attention much. Now having read Lust Hate Love I can't believe I ever thought that!! Levi and Killian were exactly what I did not expect and that made the story even more incredible.

Immediately I fell in love with Killian and how honest he was about what he wanted. From the moment he laid eyes on Levi he knew that he had to have him. Nearly 6 months later he is nowhere near getting closer to the stubborn and sexy band manager. All Killian must do is wear Levi down enough to let one emotion through, just one. If he can get Levi to see what Killian has been seeing for months, then Kill might have a chance to show Levi just how much he cares about him.

Levi isn't stupid, in fact he is probably too smart for his own good. He notices the way that Killian has looked at him since their first meeting, but he can't break his own rules. Never sleep with a client no matter how sexy said client is. With the way Killian has been acting since they shared that one kiss in Savannah, Levi knows now it is going to be even harder to resist the rock god. After all, his rules are in place for a reason and if he were to break those, he could be back in the same situation he was years ago.

As Killian and Levi explore not only their chemistry but their feelings, emotions are high, and Levi can't seem to let go of the one mistake in his past that could mean a tragic end for not only their relationship but his career. Killian will stop at nothing to get Levi to see that he is nothing like the guy who hurt him years before but when one mistake is made by Killian could this mean the end for the relationship that just barely got started?

Like I said before the book was even over Ella Frank and Brooke Blaine had me 100% in love with both guys. I couldn't have asked for a better ending of this story if I tried because we not only got Levi and Killian's ending, we got to see what the start of the future looked like for Halo, Viper, Imogen, Slade and Jagger.

I do have to say holy shit for the ending with Imogen, Slade and Jagger. At the ending of the novella, I just thought it was going to be a fun night but of course Frank and Blaine never cease to surprise me.

Yaaaas!

I have been needing Killian Michael's story since I started reading the Fallen Angel series, and it was worth all the wait.

Sigh... the title tells it perfectly. Levi and Killian have that insta-lust thing going on, with as slow burn before Kill can break down the professional walls that Levi is fighting to keep up.

I loved the lingering kisses, the lustful looks across the room, and knowing that the chemistry between them was going to blow the roof off the joint when they finally went all in.

Was great to see where Viper and Halo are at with their relationship, and how things played out with Jagger and Slade after their novella (I freaking loved the epilogue!)

I never want the Fallen Angel series to end

I read this book in one sitting ;) it was sooooo good :) not only it was awesome, but I was also in the perfect mood to read it now :) technically this can be read as a standalone, but I highly encourage you to read the previous installments first, including the novella :) trust me on this, it will be a much better experience if you already know all the guys and what happened between them in the past ;) this last installment in a series all about members of a rock band focuses on Killian, the bassist of the group and Levi, their new manager… and it was… just… *sighs happily* it was the perfect way to end the series… not only we have a sinfully sexy and surprisingly sweet romance between our main characters, we also get additional glimpses into the lives of everyone we already know and love… not to mention the perfect cherry on top of everything, and by that I mean the epilogue :) everything just worked in this story, but that’s not really a surprise, since I have yet to read a book written by this duo that I didn’t love ;) so if you haven’t read this series yet, definitely remedy that situation ASAP… especially if you are in a mood for a good rock star romance with phenomenal writing style that will make you all hot and bothered :)

A bit of a let down. I didn't get any of the emotional pull I was expecting and felt it was rather surface level besides Levi's resistance towards Killian due to his past.

The first half consisted of push and pull on Levi's part then as soon as he gave in, it turned into lots of sex and Killian already in love. I could maybe understand that since he's been pining over Levi for six months, but then Levi said ILYs pretty quickly as well. I didn't connect with the characters and don't feel like I know much about them. It had a fluffy, feel good vibe at the beginning that I wasn't mad about but then, of course, the drama had to come at the end. It drives me absolutely nuts when the conflict is resolved and then the book immediately ends. Like can we get some time with them as a couple??

I would recommend reading the previous books first as not much backstory is given here for the band or other characters. There is a continuing storyline for Jaggar/Imogen/Slade, so I recommend reading their novella as well. Overall, I'm left feeling pretty meh about this book which is a huge disappointment. I mean, the epilogue in Viper and Halo's own book was about fking Killian and his boner for Levi - it's a shame it didn't live up to what it promised. It was nice to see Viper and Halo again though and the success the band has had.

Book 1: Halo (Viper, Halo) → 4 Stars
Book 2: Viper (Viper, Halo) → 4 Stars
Book 3: Angel (Viper, Halo) → 4 Stars
Book 3.5: An Affair In Paris (Jagger, Imogen, Slade) → 3 Stars
Book 4: Lust Hate Love (Killian, Levi) → 3 Stars

I've been waiting to get to Killian's story since book 2 of Viper and Halo. Killian is paired with Levi, the new band manager. I liked this. I did.

I liked Killian and Levi individually but together, something was off for me. I think they were just too mushy too fast for me. Their chemistry was hot but the relationship progressed really fast without a solid foundation. While I prefer standalones, here I think Killian and Levi would have benefitted from having one more book about them (shocking I know since I complained about it with Viper and Halo). I wanted a little more realistic growth for the two of them.

Overall, a scorching and entertaining read that needed a little more oomph.

[Simply Love Book Reviews · Rating 4 out of 5]

I am such a sucker for a good guy hero and Killian fits that description perfectly; the voice of reason, the calming force in the band, and the one everyone can rely on including the band’s manager Levi. A year after the band reformed into Fallen Angel and six months after their explosive kiss following the first show in their tour, Killian is trying to move past Levi’s rejection but decides pushing his agenda will be way more fun.

I loved this story mainly for the fact that Killian and Levi are pretty much opposites, but they complement one another so well. Killian is laid back but he’s also determined and at every turn he is in Levi’s space making sure to remind him of their insane chemistry. I liked how flustered this made Levi even when he tried so hard to resist because of his rules about dating a client.

With Killian, Levi could let go once in a while and let someone take care of him, but I also loved that Killian could be vulnerable with Levi letting us see the softer side of him.

It was great seeing how Viper and Halo’s relationship is faring and let’s just say personal relationship within the band are strained when secrets come out, but communication makes them all see that they’ve come too far to let personal issues invade into band business.

I loved every sweet, sexy, emotional moment of this story!

Lust Hate Love couldn’t be a more apt title for the fourth book in the Fallen Angel series. Killian and Levi travel a journey that mimics the title- from lust that morphs to hate, (although that might be too strong of a word for what happens between them), to that hate eventually leading to the sweetest love between these two perfectly matched men.
One of my favorite things about this book was the lack of drama, which was kind of surprising considering we’re dealing with rockstars here. Even when things between Levi and Killian were tense, they were adults about it (I’m looking at you here, Viper and Halo).
I liked the way Killian went about “wooing” Levi, it was all kinds of sweet. I’ve got to hand it to Levi, he put up a good fight and did his best to stick to his rules, but those rules were no match for the chemistry between he and Killian. These guys were my favorite of the series.

The epilogue was the perfect way to wrap this series up!

In the previous book in this series you get to know Levi a little bit and I am so exited to have their story finally! To be honest after the amazing temptation series I struggled a lot with Ella frank's other books and I always ended up tossing the book after a couple chapters but this series just pulled me in and I just can't get enough of these guys!

Killian loves the band life each night a different guy in his bed with no feelings on the spell, that is until.... he's eyes lands on Levi Walker the new manager he appointed to the band... from the very first time he saw Levi he's one night stands dry up so fast but Levi seems to be run every time he tries to get close.

Levi had a very bad experience when he just started out and he really tries to keeps arms length away from Killian but, as time goes on he finds it harder and harder to stay away.

After thinking about it for a bit, I decided to change my rating from 4.5 to 4 and I'll explain more on why below. But first, until recently I had no idea that Killian's book was releasing and it made me so happy that it was with none other then their manager, Levi.

Their chemistry was off the charts, you could feel it from the first page. Their story made my heart beat, put a smile on my face, and made me melt. I loved getting to see all the other characters.

So why the 4 stars? Because I wanted more. To see them together as a couple and to see them get to know one another, have more of a smoother transition. But overall it was a good story to read.

4 Real Love CROWNS

This one was a bit unexpected for me based on the title. It was heartfelt, completely swoon worthy and romantic. I found myself awwwwing, several times throughout the book at the sentiment that Levi and Killian shared with each other. There is lust and plenty of steam but it took a back seat to the romance of it all.

Killian and Levi are some good together but I truly fell for Killian. Gah! From his level headed nature to the sweet gestures and the way he treats Levi. Put a fork in me, I’m done. I love him, and so for him to get his HEA at the end. I was overjoyed to see him so complete and happy. Levi is a great character, too, but I did feel a bit more attached to Kill since he has been around forever with the Viper and Angel’s story.

The plot is really low angst, and the conflict is pretty clear with a realistic and grown up conclusion. I did enjoy watching the courtship of the two and the time together. I do wish I would have seen more of them together outside of the bedroom and the band duties that they have. I think that is why I love the epilogue so much. We are able to get a glimpse of them as a couple.

While this hasn’t been my favorite series from this duo, it is well written, and they have created such a loving family with these characters that they do feel a bit like home. I’ll miss seeing them on the pages.

A Joyfully Jay review.

4 stars

Killian and Levi are not new to the Fallen Angel series, but the previous three books focused on Halo and Viper. Killian is the type of rocker I like to read about. As the bassist, he’s still confident, but not over the top. Levi is the new band manager and he’s highly focused on getting the job done and is a little more buttoned up and a little more reserved than Killian. But that one kiss the men shared lit them both up. The majority of the book takes place six months after that kiss and neither man can stop thinking about the other.

The chemistry between Killian and Levi is a highlight of the book. Killian is used to getting who and what he wants and when Levi shuts him down, he has no idea what to do with himself. Levi has reasons for not wanting to get involved with Killian and Killian, in his own way, sets out to change Levi’s mind.

[MJLovestoRead · Rating 5 out of 5]

Frank and Blaine have done it again! Lust Hate Love is the amazing concluding book to the Fallen Angel series and what an ending it is. We finally get Killian Richards's story, the sexy and steady member of the band, who falls hard for their new manager, Levi Walker. Oh the heat. Oh the chemistry. It's evident right from the start and despite a few missteps, these two were bound to find each other and claim each other's souls.

I loved that despite all the crazy that is this band and man do they enjoy ribbing each other and messing around when they shouldn't, that the true emotion that always runs through an artist no matter the craft is front and center no matter what. You couldn't stop Killian and his 'moon eyes' if you tried. His attraction to the seemingly uptight Levi is off the charts and as he chisels a bit more from a well-guarded heart, the way these two fit together both figuratively and literally is wicked HOT. The authors don't make us wait too long as Killian manages to grab his new lover, ravage him silly, mess up with ill-timed words and somehow make them both realize they are lost without the other.

This entire series is full of heart and soul and these bad boys of rock n roll make me swoon with their devotion, their loyalty and their charisma. Everyone is present and accounted for with revelations made known in a previous novella stirring the pot just enough to eventually bring out the best in everyone involved.

I am sorry to these sexy rockers go but the epilogue alone is enough to make me smile and sigh as I know they will all be just fine in the years to come. Hopefully we'll catch a glimpse again in a future book to see how they are all faring.

In the meantime, I'll savor Lust Hate Love just a little while longer, happily giving it a solid 5 stars!

Dernier tome de la série Rockstars, pas vraiment indispensable, dommage, ça aurait pu être intéressant.

Killian a craqué sur le nouveau manager du groupe et il veut l'épouser (et accessoirement, se le taper dans toutes les positions et sur toutes les surfaces).

Levi a craqué sur le bassiste du groupe dont il s'occupe et il est fermement décidé à ne pas se le taper, à cause d'une mauvaise expérience précédente.

Nous allons donc avoir quelques chapitres où nous assistons à une petite valse hésitation, quelques scènes chaud/froid pour faire monter la tension, puis tout bascule.

Levi craque, Levi balance la raison de son refus d'une relation avec Killian (tout en lui donnant la clé de sa chambre...) et c'est parti pour de longues scènes sexy où les auteurs nous démontrent qu'ils sont parfaitement compatibles (ce qu'on avait pigé depuis un moment).

En fil rouge, on retrouve aussi bien sûr Viper et Halo, ainsi qu'une autre romance finalement pas si surprenante que ça.

Un petit quiproquo pour faire tenir encore quelques chapitres (faudrait pas que ça soit trop facile non plus), relativement assez vite arrangé et l'affaire est pliée. Nous avons même droit à un joli petit épilogue.

Même si c'est toujours aussi bien écrit, ce tome est vraiment le tome de trop, dommage, l'histoire aurait pu donner quelque chose de sympa.

Liked it ish... I did love Killian and Levi's push and pull, but this was one hell of a slow burn! In the end, their love felt rushed and forced... At least the way it was presented So much tension, so many past ghosts, and not so much substance... It wasn't taken advantage of.

Also, how can this explosive, sexy AF couple only have one sex scene in the entire book? Don't get me wrong, they're incredible hot... but there's no buildup to their relationship and no intimacy.

And god... that sopa opera scene in the plane with Imogen, Slade, and Jagger? So unacessary... Forgive me for this rant, but I wish I hadn't read the epilogue... It's so lame and just so much... 

I love my baby Viper cameos, and I would rather read a short with him and Halo... and I would prefer a million times any song written by Halo or Viper to Killian's lame AF song...

So, yes, I wish I had written this review after finishing because I feel like now the rant has brewed inside me...

I didn't mind this book. There was a lot of pull back and forth between Killian and Levi. The chemistry was definitely there between these two. I hate how abruptly it ended, though. The epilogue wasn't bad. I gave you more insight into all the couples, but I still wanted a little more.

Killian:

" ... I love you, Levi. I think I always have. I was just waiting for you to walk into my life."

That's it. That's all you get. Do with that what you will .....
