I really enjoyed this book and getting to know Bailey and Walker as well as the Westmorelands and the Outlaws. Good steamy sex scenes and the 3 act conflict did get drawn out and frustrating. Can’t wait to see read the other books in the series and yes I’m reading them out off order obviously. At the end of this audiobook (the epilogue) Bane’s story was starting but it says his book was published in 2015 and this book is from 2020 so I’m confused. Maybe the date on one of the books incorrect??

Breaking Bailey's rules \ His Until Midnight

Bailey had rules for everything but when it came to Walker she broke everyone of them. Bailey's had Walker so confused he didn't know what hit him.

What can we say about Tessa Noble and Ryan Bateman they have been in love from age5 and everyone knew it but them. They were so afraid they ran from it.

Excellent

Both stories are very good. I love everything Brenda Jackson writes. This is the first story I've read by Reese Ryan and it is excellent. I loved Ryan and Tessa's best friends to lovers story.

I Read It Before

It was actually better the second time around! To love someone your whole life and not even know it was totally amazing. Even through relationships with other people they still found their way back to each other. Worth the wait 🌹
