Cooper

Reese Latham was about to make the biggest mistake of her life.

At eight-years-old, we vowed to be best friends for the rest of our lives, thinking nothing could ever change that.

We were both wrong— we made mistakes, and grew apart. Until I realized living without her wasn’t an option.

I was almost too late... but I wouldn’t stand by and watch her walk down the aisle to another man. She might not choose me, but I’ll spend the rest of my life proving I’m all in.


Reese

Every step I take towards my happy ending takes me further away from my best friend.

Leave it to Cooper Reeves to wait until I’m about to say “I Do” before he finally admits how he feels.

It’s not his confession that has me doubting myself. It’s my heart. Because I know deep down, it’s him... it’s always been him.

I was crazy to think I could live without Cooper because sharing forever with my best friend is the best kind of bliss.

Poor Cooper! He made his bed, now he had to lie in it....
Reese had every right to be hesitant of Cooper’s love confession after how the last scenes unfolded in the previous part.
Cooper had a mountain to climb in order to prove to Reese that his love was genuine and unbiased.

The story was romantic and cute but too sweet for me. Also there were repetitions throughout the storyline. Although the author had made the points crustal clear with only mentioning them once, there was no need of repeating them again and again.
Overall, it was an engaging duet, with perfectly fitted titles and nice covers.

Cooper and Reece

This was so good just like book one but no cliffhanger. I loved that there was happiness between both Cooper and Reece thru the hole good. They finally connect move in together but a house and get married. No disappointments or others stepping in and getting in the way. As always every Kaylee book is wonderful.

ALL MY REVIEWS CAN BE FOUND ON MY BLOG: ABSTRACT BOOKS



Bliss is the second part of the ENTANGLED HEARTS duet by Kaylee Ryan. Told in dual perspectives, this book is the finale of Cooper and Reese's story.

After the way the first book of this duet ended , this book became one of the most anticipated romances of mine. I was so ready to read the finale of the love story of these amazing characters!!

From the moment Cooper and Reese met , Resse knew that she loved him. Copper however ,was an all together different level of stubborn. He denies their connection for years and when he saw her moving on and finally marrying another man , he made his declaration.

I really wanted to smack him for that. Why the hell did he wait for so long??? Now it's upto Reese to choose the one guy who will always be in her Heart or the one she is about to marry. I really felt bad for her. Cooper put her emotions through a rollercoaster and then decided to ruin her wedding too. But it was for the best ! Everyone knew she didn't love the man she was about to marry.

This book was one whirlwind of emotions and is recommended to all the contemporary romance lovers with addiction to themes like second-chance and bestfriend-to-lovers!!

The ending of Book 1, Agony, it literally was heartstopping, excruciating, heartbreaking pain. I don't want to say too much, but Kaylee did amazing with Cooper and Reese's story. These two are so perfect together, they need to get on the same page. These two are soooo HOT together, holy wow.

When Agony left off, Cooper is now playing in the NFL, and Reese has a job she loves. They've always been each other's number 1, but life does have to move on right? Is there room for a new number 1? Does she move on to a happy ever after without him? I can't recommend this duet enough, this checked off all of your emotions. Bliss will leave you with your hearts full and a smile on your face. I absolutely loved loved loved these two!!!!

Why does it have to be a duet? It was not bad but it was too repetetive and wordy for my taste. I loved the dynamics regarding their parents and their friends. As a YA book, it was good.

The Entangled Hearts duet finale was super cute and boy did Cooper grovel! He definitely had his work cut out for him in getting back on Reese's good side. Poor Hunter had his heart broken, but he's a good guy so we know he'll find his perfect match someday.

A fun read with lots of extras, plenty of great banter, and filled with family, friends and, of course, you know it had plenty of heat, along with football as well!

Bliss picks up right where Agony left off with my heart outside my chest wondering what was going to happen. This amazing conclusion answers many questions, processes so many more emotions and takes the reader on an amazing read. I had tears in my eyes both sad and happy throughout this read and hoping above all hopes they would get their HEA.

I loved reading about their support systems either their family or friend family and the healing that was presented throughout this read. I was definitely swooning more as Cooper did everything he could to fight for Reese.

MUCH BETTER! Bliss is the second book in The Entangled Hearts Duet by Kaylee Ryan and you must read Agony before Bliss. By the end of Agony I was frustrated with these characters and their lack of communication skills. Let me tell you they most definitely redeemed themselves in this book. Cooper is the star of this book. The deep love he has for Reese is so tender and beautiful. The man had so much patience with Reese. He stops at nothing to prove to her that he’s all in and here to stay. He’s loved her and she’s loved him since they were young children. Reese was hesitant at first. Cooper really had his work cut out proving himself. Reese had some inner soul searching to do before she could fully commit but once she was all in with her mind, she was all in with heart. The raw emotional scenes in the second half of the book were written so beautifully and I had all the feels by the end. The strength and growth that we witness between these two lovely characters was heartwarming and beautiful. Wonderful conclusion to the duet.

This felt like an entirely different story/book type than the first.

It was way too sweet, way too long, and lacked any sort of central plot. After the first few chapters which were interesting the book was just them being cheesy with each other/doing every day things like buying a house, talking about her job (this was probably the part I least enjoyed. Maybe I’m just a horrible person but I hate when characters come off as too flawless/perfect jobs just magically appear in books), and other day to day stuff. Really it just felt unnecessary. The story basically finished a couple chapters in, so end it there. This could have been a novella or bonus scene. But a book on its own? It just took away from the first book for me which I enjoyed way more.

Also this is just nit picking but I missed some of the other football players from the first book. They are never mentioned again and I thought this was a loss to the story.

What I did like? Tessa/Nixon (They are ultimate best friends). Also the parents. Loved them in both books (and wish they were used even more).

I liked the characters and the first book was fun but this book was just not for me. That said if you like sweet give it a try, you may really enjoy it.

Cooper is the man we all want. After finishing Agony I couldn’t fathom how Kaylee could top it, that’s where I went wrong. Kaylee knows what she’s doing and Bliss did not disappoint.

This is part 2 of Reese and Coop's story. Yes, book one was a cliffhanger, so you have to read both books.
This was a 3,5 star for me.
I got why so many reviews complained about it being cheesy: the number of times Coops said "I love you" was excessive and made it a bit ridiculous. He could have said it other ways.
What really got to me was the number of times Coop said "I want" or "I need". It was all about what he wanted, never about what she wanted; he wouldn't listen to her; he would accept her way only to try change her mind minutes later to what he wanted. And that was a red flag for me.
He did offer her her dream, but it was only to bring her closer to him - so again it was also about him. Basically everything she did had to he his way or to benefit him first. I didn't like that. That kept my rating in the 3 stars.
The rest was OK, the emotional ride wasn't as intense as book one. But there were still some strong feelings going on and that was 4 stars.

The writing was great. It was a fast read.
This is an open door romance, if that's not your thing, they are easy to jump through.

This series was very very good! I am glad that I waited to read this duet, so that I could read both books! I found this book was good, but a bit repetitive. After about 150 pages, they were just repeating the same concepts over and over again, such as "We need to take this slow." Please!! Anybody who read the first couple of pages of this book knew exactly where it was all going to head! Overall, I enjoyed the journey with these two characters!

Cooper and Reece were finally able to figure things out. They were able to acknowledge their feelings and come up with of plan what to do what those feelings. The road was bumpy but they got where they needed to be.

This book was everything I could have hoped for and more! A beautiful, amazing love story that left my heart sighing with happiness! And as much as I dislike cliff hangers, I can totally understand why the author split their story up this way. There is clearly two parts to their love story! (I will try to review this book, without giving anything away from book 1, for those that haven't read that one yet!)

Reese has loved Cooper for as long as she can remember. But what happens if the one that you love, won't give that love a chance to grow beyond friendship? Do you hold on to hope that things will change? Or do you move on, try to find happiness elsewhere? It's an impossible decision, but one that Reese has to make.

Cooper has loved Reese for as long as he can remember. But he is afraid that changing things will mean loosing her in his life for good. Until he realizes that things have already changed. And he is already loosing her. Can he show her what she means to him, before it's too late? Can he prove to her that he is ready to make that change? It's an impossible task, but one that Cooper has to give his all.

Agony left me in tears. Bliss left me with a sense of completion and happiness. An amazing ending to an emotional duet, I just can't express how much I loved Cooper and Reese's story. This duet is an absolute must read for those that love an emotional romance. This one is definitely a roller coaster ride!

I have been waiting for Bliss since the moment I finished Agony, that cliffhanger was killer and I wanted to know what was next for these two best friends. Bliss picked up right where things left off and took me on an emotional roller coaster.

Reese and Cooper are so much more than best friends. These two are meant for each other. Their friends know it and their families know it. Everyone but them, until now. I love how much Cooper loves Reese. He does everything he can to prove that this is it for him, that he isn’t just going to leave, that he is here for good. He shows that he cares and he listens to her. He wants Reese to have everything she deserves and more. Reese and Cooper’s friendship is beautiful, but their relationship and their future together is magical. There is so much love, emotion and chemistry between these two.

Bliss is just that, it is Bliss. It answers the unanswered questions from Agony and brings so much joy and emotion. Bliss is a MUST READ, along with Agony.

Bliss is the conclusion to the entangled hearts duet. it picks up right where it left off in Agony. this book was pretty much cooper and reese starting their relationship. from best friends to breaking a wedding ceremony, to figuring out their relationship. tbh, i dont see why reese was in denial on cooper's feelings for her. she was a bit hesitant to start a relationship w/ him in the beginning bc she felt like it was a game to him. cooper was sweet, lovable and willing to do anything for reese. he's such a sweetheart.

"I changed because I learned what life was like without you in it. It fucking sucks, Reese. I hate it. I think about you every fucking second of every day, and it's not because you're my best friend. It's because you're my fucking soul."

if you like simple love stories with a mediocre hea, this book is for you. i read this within 45 minutes bc i was skimming through the whole thing. it wasn't as interesting as book one :/. not much angst like i hoped.

I feel like I am starting all of my reviews like this lately, but this is truly the 2nd half of a story, not just a 2 book duet - you NEED to go read book 1 of the Entangled Hearts duet, Agony, so you know what's going on. Bliss picks up right were Agony left off, with Reece and Cooper in a precarious situation that promises both heartache and happily ever after for some characters, but it won't be easy, and everyone won't get what they want.

Seriously, this is an amazing ending to the story. It isn't often that you get a true friends to lovers story that has so much emotional chaos in the middle. Their journey isn't the kind that has 2 friends out for a drink, they lock eyes and realize they are both in love with each other - it is a fight, and they aren't both on the same page from the jump.

This duet will be worth your while however if you love an achingly romantic story with well thought-out characters, ups and downs, and the kind of long that we all long to find.

4.5 Stars!

Kaylee Ryan is back with the second book in the addicting Entangled Hearts duet and y'all, I desperately need allllllll the answers after we were left hanging at the end of Agony with Cooper and Reese.

Stunning, beautiful, powerful, emotional, intense, steamy, all of the feels, must read - can't put down. Bliss was packed from cover to cover, first page to the very last, with all the BEST (and super complicated) from Cooper and Reese and I simply couldn't get enough of all the words.

Kaylee is a must read in my book every single time she puts out a new romance and this duet might just be HER BEST yet.

Run don't walk to grab up this unforgettable, unputdownable conclusion to the swoony Cooper and Reese journey.

I highly recommend this duet.

Cooper and Reese have been on my mind since I finished Agony. I needed to know what happened next. And I need to go back about 20 years in my life and find a best friend who’s a guy who can be my everything. My favorite romance genre is best friends to lovers and Ms. Ryan knocked this one out of the park! I couldn’t ask for a better conclusion and honestly I couldn’t ask for a better story. A sports romance is one of my favorites to read too. But just the way Cooper is in this book, man I went from wanting to smack him to hard core swooning. And Reese, I adore the girl. I was so happy to get my hands on Bliss but now I’m so sad I finished this amazing duet! Cooper and Reese are special and so is this duet! One click asap!

Reese was devastated when Cooper didn’t want to be anything more than friends but she picked up the pieces and created a new life for herself however she is about to find out that the man that turned her life upside down the first time is back for a repeat performance.

Cooper has realized that by not pursuing the relationship that they could have together that returning back to the status quo is not possible either. He is determined to prove to Reese that they have always belonged together but getting her to open her heart for a second chance may be the biggest challenge he will ever face.

Full of emotion this story takes you on quite the ride. Everyone in their lives knew that they were soulmates and now they both realize it as well.

First, this is the 2nd book in the duet for Cooper and Reese, so if you are thinking you can start with this one...you can't.

Well, I guess technically you could. But you don't want to.

I really like how this one was constructed, how most of the 1st book was the "then" of their story and the second book is them in the "now" and moving forward into the future.

It's also hard to review duets, and I generally don't, as talking about the first book in the review of the second is mean, and talking about the second book and what happens is essentially a giant spoiler as to the resolution of the cliffhanger, so I will say I enjoyed this title, I enjoyed both books, and I recommend this book...but only after you have read the first one.

Bliss was the exactly what I was looking for after reading Agony (book 1). Things definitely didn't go perfectly smooth for Cooper and Reese. There were don't do it moments, hold your breath moments, Yes, OMG, I didn't know, I'm so proud, finally, is this real?, took you long enough, I told you so, and I love you so much moments. This is the story I wanted for Cooper and Reese and I love the way you wrote it in two books. I feel like it would have lost something if you tried to put it all into one. Another enjoyable read, love these characters.

What I loved about this conclusion was the soul searching Reese did before giving her all completely to Cooper. Cooper finally saw what was in front of him all these years and went for it without holding back. What he didn’t expect was Reese needing time and I understood why she was skeptical and needed to think. I loved how both their parents and best friends were cheering for them for years. Great ending!!

Bliss by Kaylee Ryan is book Two in the Entangled Hearts Duet. This continues the story of Cooper and Reese, so you really should read the previous book 'Agony' before starting this one. This book does start where we left off in the last book. This makes the official turn in their relationship. I did enjoy their story and I did agree with this being a two book story. I hope to read more from this author in the future.

I was given an advance readers copy of this book and have decided to write a voluntary honest review. After agony I was so upset with Copper and a little with Reese more copper though lol. I just kept thinking you need to grow up and tell her how you really feel. I also understand he was scared of losing her. But some.risks are worth trying for even if you could end up losing in the end. I love copper so much I think he's a great guy. Reese is, such a sweet girl.

Hunter needs his own HEA.

I get it and it's nice for Reece and Coop, it's also realistic because people often get hurt along the way, plus the characters are young so a certain amount of immaturity/confidence issues can be expected...all of this said, it would be great to read Hunter's HEA to get the bad taste out of my mouth with this story...

Reese was disappointed when Cooper only wanted to be friends. She moved on with her life and is about to walk down the aisle to marry another man. Cooper has realized he made a mistake and can't live without Reese, his best friend. A crazy good second chance story with two strong characters.
