Tranquility is the second book in the Turbulence duology. The story picks up after the cliffhanger in book one. Once again we hear from Brit, Sean and Jasper, but this book has added Evie's voice.

I expected to start book 2 at the cliffhanger scene however the author starts a little later on, and readers must wait to hear what took place recounted. I struggled with this gap, not quite understanding what the author had in store.

I don't want to ruin the story so I won't say more than Brit suffered a traumatic event. Book 2 brings readers through her path of healing both physically as well as emotionally. Having suffered much in her life, she is fiercely independent, terrified of leaning on anyone else at the risk of being let down. In addition, she has locked down her own feelings as her experience has taught her that numbness is the best option. We met Evie in book one. She presented as an English woman who wrote a sex column and was very interested in Sean. In book two we learn that she is a therapist and has been assigned to Brit to help her process what occurred and try to heal. I wasn't sure what to expect but I quickly fell in love with her character.

As the heroine of the story, I always wanted to support Brit and stand behind her. I quite liked Evie's addition as she endeavoured to gently push Brit and have her acknowledge her demons. Sean, who I adored in the first book, left me with mixed feelings in the second. At times I loved him, but at others I struggled with his attittude and behaviour. As for Jasper... well he dug his own grave.

Like the first book, Tranquility was narrated by Angelina Rocca and Gary Furlong. I once again enjoyed their emotive interpretation of the characters. They enhanced my reading journey and elicited a multitude of emotions. Listening to their voices brought the first half of the story back effortlessly. There were a couple of points in the book when I had to pause as I wasn't clear who was speaking, but that did not impact my overall enjoyment. When Gary read Brit's boss' part (sorry - his name escapes me) I wondered what his natural voice sounds like as I couldn't tell which was his true accent.

From a story perspective, I definitely enjoyed it however I felt that there was a certain build up to the scene where Brit expresses what happened. When I finally got to that scene, I listened to it twice feeling like I had missed something. I guess I was expecting something different. While the traumatic event was serious and heartwrenching, I felt like the author was building to something more. That was just my take on it thought.

This was the of Cee's writing I have read. I enjoyed her manner of storytelling and I would welcome the opportunity to read some of her other works.

This is the second book in the Turbulence series, and picks up where Entanglement left off. It follows the trauma and recovery Brit experiences after dealing with a horrific event. It is both heartbreaking and beautiful, as she is broken apart and then put back together with the help of Sean, her therapist Evie, and most of all, her own badassery. Sometimes I thought Sean could have been more empathetic, I didn’t understand his insensitivity to Brit, but he is there for her in the way she needs I guess. The story is suspenseful, emotional, steamy, and dark. I would check the trigger warnings before jumping in if you have any. But the writing was engaging and descriptive. I listened to then audiobook and the dual narration between Gary Furlong and Angelina Rocca was amazing! I loved the back and forth. I highly recommend listening to the audiobook.

This story picks up exactly where Entanglement left off in the exciting moment of if Brit Delaney is ok and if Jasper succeeded in his goal. Some huge secrets are revealed in this story of who Brit’s father is and more.
Gary Furlong and Angelina Rocca are back to narrate this story which I was really excited about. It was also easier to distinguish who was speaking this go around with Gary Furlong since Jasper had an angrier tone this story. In book one they were very similar in the tones.
Overall this was a devastatingly beautiful story of healing and unexpected relationships. If darker stories are your preference I highly recommend this one. It was very well written.

~*~ Audiobook Review ~*~ I’m writing this review for both Entanglement and Tranquility, books 1 and 2 in this duet because it is impossible to separate them in my heart. Book 1 ends in a cliffhanger, so plan on completing both books for the full story. This was an emotional journey. Make sure you pay attention to the trigger warnings before you start and be prepared for the full list of emotional entanglements to pull you this way and that. It tackles some very difficult and painful topics with care, but it can still be difficult at times. Well worth it - in my opinion! Very high levels of angst had me on the edge of my patience throughout the story because I was deeply invested in the journey. Brit is so very broken and protects herself by disengaging from everyone and everything except through the lens of her camera. Very beautifully executed method of coping and survival. Prepare to be unmade and put back together again.

Jasper and Sean are cousins who have grown up together and are very close partners in mischief. Brit is introduced to the household and makes them a trio when she and her mother come to live with them. Complicated doesn’t even scratch the dynamic in this household at any given time. I was completely hooked from the very beginning and in for the rough rollercoaster ride of emotional upheaval as they navigated growing up under constrained and often violently terrible circumstances. Brit and Jasper’s friendship was special and, in my opinion, realistic under the circumstances. There is absolutely nothing that could prepare me for Jasper. No spoilers…seriously, buckle up for the angst, emotions, suspense, mystery, and even sweet, steamy, and swoony moments of escape.

Narration in duet by Gary Furlong & Angelina Rocca was fantastic! Gary does a great job differentiating between the two male characters, Sean and Jasper. I could feel the temperature changing between the two of them! Angelina’s sultry voice was the perfect vessel for Brit’s complex journey in this story. My heart broke for the child even while being annoyed - yet understanding the woman and how she protects herself in the world. This was a very complicated character very well done by Angelina! Casting would make or break a book like this, and this duet nails it. Very highly recommend if you enjoy romantic suspense/mystery with psychological thriller and several other things all thrown in there with epic levels of angst to keep you on your toes.

*Audio Review*

Tranquility is book two in the turbulence series and the conclusion to Brit , Sean, and Jasper's story. This is not a standalone. If you have not read or listened to Entanglement book one in this series, you really need to start there before Tranquility.

For spoiler purposes I don’t want to say to much about the overall plot of the story but I will say this is a extremely emotional listen and the story as a whole really does have some Triggering content so read reviews, read the warnings and remember this book is a work of fiction but it deals with issues that are very much real and can be very difficult to hear or read. Take care of yourself first and foremost.

With that said, I enjoyed the overall story, Lilly K Cee is a phenomenal writer. This is a story with complex characters, deep emotions, and gut-wrenching traumatic events, and she really pieced it all together in a way that just captured me from beginning to end. My emotions ran the gambit with this book, and to me, that is just a sign of incredible storytelling. Tranquility really focused on the aftermath of events in book one, and what I enjoyed most about it was that it was not easy because survival is not easy. It takes time, patience, and strength. Brit needed to hide from her feelings until she was ready to face them head on and realize that wounds heal and that the scars that remain are just proof that her heart beats and is strong enough to let love in and give love in return because she deserved happiness after all she had been through. Sean frustrated me at times, but there was no denying his love for Brit, and I was so happy they never gave up on each other.

I would definitely recommend the audio version of this book because Angelina Rocca and Gary Furlong, who narrated both books in this series, brought the story to another level entirely with their performances. I can’t even articulate how incredible they were. I said it before but I’ll say it again, it cannot be easy to become these characters in a way that brings a story to life but they did it, they owned it and made me feel it in such a raw and real way and they certainly deserve all the stars in my opinion.

Book 2 of the duet, you need to read it in sequence.

We pick up shortly after where we left off in book 1 and spend all of book 2 dealing with the fallout.

This book continues in a 3rd person perspective so where we had Sean, Jasper and Brit in book 1, we have those same characters to follow and we add in Evie as the outsider watching Brit and Sean deal with each other and their relationship.

This one is a slower burn and definitely contains more mind bending moments. As with the first book, I spent a lot of the story not knowing where we were going, what the destination was going be (it has to have an HEA, but what will that look like?), or how all the various pieces would fit together in the end. I was very torn on whose side I was on, Brit: the victim who was trying to exorcise both her new and her existing demons, or Sean: wanting so much to be there for Brit, to help her heal (physically and emotionally), but had a very hard time listening and understanding what that looked like in Brit's eyes.

The audiobook was performed in duet style narration by Angelina Rocca and Gary Furlong. Angelina brought all the emotions to Brit that tied me up in knots. Pain, guilt, desperations, rage, frustration, fear... they were all so real. She also did a great job with the cold detached perspective of Evie the psychiatrist, observant, watchful, and confusing at times. Gary's performance took me all over the place in my feels. Sean is caring and protective (sometimes to a fault), he's frustrated and confused (Brit doesn't open up as much as he wants her to) and he's also torn up over the situation feeling guilt, responsibility and remorse (very much misplaced). But the real part that made me shiver was anytime someone interacted with Jasper. At times this character made me physically ill. The way he's written, the way he communicates his thoughts, motivations and reasoning behind what he did and what he plans to do if given the change... very unsettling.

Please be aware that this story does deal with some upsetting topics in the aftereffects of a traumatic attack. Please be kind to yourself if you are sensitive to these topics.

I requested and was provided with an advanced copy of the audiobook. These are my honest opinions.

Tranquility is the second book in the Turbulence series and is the emotionally charged, gripping conclusion to Brit, Sean, and Jasper’s story.
Tranquility picks up right where Entanglement left off, and holy cow what a journey we are taken on.
Brit has been through so much in her life and watching her recover from the recent traumatic event and the betrayal of her friend after she’s spent her whole life trying to escape the trauma from her childhood was gut wrenchingly heart-breaking but oh so beautifully healing.
Sweet Sean was there for Brit every single step of the way, and despite her need to push him away and go through some things on her own, Sean is there to shower her with all the love and support she missed out on growing up and vows to always protect her. He has loved Brit since they were kids, and he isn’t going to let this tear them apart now that he finally has her.
The fabulously talented Angelina Rocca and Gary Furlong reprise their roles as Brit, Sean and Jasper and my goodness, they were outstanding!
Ms Rocca’s performance as the wonderfully brave Brit who must unpack years of hurt as well dealing with the physical and emotional aftermath of the recent trauma was simply magnificent!
Mr Furlong’s portrayal of Sean and Jasper, the former who just wants to fix everything for the woman he loves but knows he must let her conquer her demons then come back to him and the latter who is a more menacing, lacking remorse and empathy because he doesn’t think he’s crossed any lines was spectacular.
Overall, I loved this audiobook. Lilly K. Cee has given us a story that is filled with ups and downs, trauma, and heartache, but above all else a story of overcoming, hope, strength, and resilience. This book will take you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions and is worth every second to watch Brit and Sean overcome the betrayal and trauma from someone they loved and trusted.
This audiobook was perfectly cast, and Angelina and Gary performed their roles to absolute perfection! They elevated the story to a whole new level and took each character and made it their own!
This series is a tough listen, with some hard subjects covered, but it is totally worth it. Take a chance but be sure to read the trigger warnings.

Tranquility
Turbulence Series
By: Lilly K. Cee
Narrated by: Gary Furlong, Angelina Rocca

Lilly K. Cee delivers an amazing conclusion to her “Turbulence” series and wow she sure put her characters through the wringer, taking them for an emotional rollercoaster ride, one that is heart-rending and gut-wrenching. And she takes her readers and audiobook listeners for that same ride, so get ready and hold on tight, because in the end it is definitely a ride worth holding on for. This book picks up where the first book “Entanglement” ended, and wow, what an ending it was. Brit Delany has been through so much in her life, people who were supposed to love her disappointed her instead and she thought she found love, it almost kills her. How does one come back from something like that unscarred and unscathed? Sean continues to be there for her, despite her distancing herself and pushing him away. Can Brit pull herself out of her own darkness and get past the trauma and the betrayal? This beautifully written story lifts that ominous and turbulent undertone I felt with the first book, and as the story goes on, that turbulent feeling turns to feelings of hope, the hope that it will get better. Sean and Brit’s relationship is turbulent and on shaky ground, and my heart wept for them. There is never a dull moment in this book, the plotting and world building is fantastic and so is the character growth. Lilly K. Cee, thank you for another excellent story and emotional rollercoaster ride. 

🎧📚🎧And for the amazing narration, Gary Furlong and Angelina Rocca are versatile voice artists and their narration enhances this story to a whole new level. Their character voices have been consistent and the quality of the audio is top-notch. These two understand the characters they are portraying and loved how they took each role and made it their own, sounding believable and just like I imagine the characters to sound. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another exceptional listen.

The Turbulence duology has been a delightful find of 2021.

A climactic event occurs at the end of book one- Tranquility continues on from that point in time. All the suspenseful foreboding of book one is shed in book 2, where we are left to process the devastating mess after “The Event”.

As each chapter passes we are taken through the individual POV’s and a gamut of emotions, as the author chips away at everything that has happened in the past, giving us a pathway to the present and possible futures.

I was so invested in this story and it’s character growth -especially Brit, she had me all twisted up with her behaviour, my heart broke over & over for her.

What makes this story next level is the character development- to understand the nuances of people and their psyche’s, and write about it all so eloquently it was well done.

On the surface this appears to be a love triangle romance- to a degree it is, but its so much more. Through this story we explore trauma and healing, societal disregard of abuse, privilege vs non privilege, the treatment and labelling of victims of abuse, and women’s safety in society. We also get to explore healing after trauma, and the complexities of friendship and love. The romantic aspect to this story is beautifully and intimately written and underpins everything.

These flawed and beautiful characters, are truly memorable. I loved the clever use of Evie’s character as a change agent between our MC’s.

When a story soaks beneath your skin, has you thinking about it when you’re not reading it -you know it’s good. I said it before, this is a cracker of a story- a layered dramatic romance -highly recommended reading.

5/5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

*This book definitely contains triggers as it relates a story of physical and sexual abuse as well as trauma in general*
Lilly K Cee has such an incredible talent for writing a gripping and emotional novel. This is the follow up to Entanglement, both part of the Turbulence Duo.
Watching Brit recover from a traumatic event, after she’s spent her entire life trying to escape the trauma from her childhood was heartbreaking. The stages she goes through of her recovery and the work she has to put in to recover from not only her recent trauma but the trauma that has haunted her her whole life is so incredibly well written. The reader can truly sympathize with Brit if they have any notation of trauma at all. Then, we have Sean. The man in her life that never leaves her side. He is truly put through the wringer as Brit tries to face her demons. The dynamic of their relationship is so heartbreaking while at the same time hopeful. I especially enjoyed the perspective of Evie and did not think I would come to love her as much as I did. She ended up playing such an integral part in not only Brit’s healing but Sean’s understanding of Brit as well. This was the perfect culmination to the duo.

The entire story is so well told from the continued character development to the over all story. I especially loved the culture of Ireland that was so well written throughout the book. Lilly appears to have done her due diligence by showing the reader Ireland from an outsider’s perspective without disrespecting the culture and nuisances.

An incredibly well told story of heartbreak, trauma, healing, and love.

It’s official. I hate Brit.

No. I don’t understand. Please enlighten me. She gets on my ever-loving last nerve. There’s angst, then there’s childishness. I can’t believe that precious man chased that childish woman through both these books. Seriously—I’m on a book rampage. I detest her. Nearing the end, I was just rooting for him to send her back to her nomadic, homeless existence in the US and invite Evie into his home. Sheesh. How immature and self-centered can an adult woman be? What little she’s willing to invest simply isn’t worth his effort. I’m about to agree with the repulsive Dugan that she needs to let his son go before she destroys him. Just let her chase IED’s and dodge bullets with her faithful camera already. Give the stupid woman what she wants. Sheesh. Who wants a relationship with that kind of sadist? It’s so ironic to me that his epiphany is that he sees as a selfless act of love in her dark desire to chase a thrill and capture with the intent to exploit the most hopeless scenarios. Then why does she have such repulsion for the media who are interested in what Jasper did to her? Isn’t their morbid fascination the same as her supposed selfless act of love? She’s so hypocritical—and he’s just masochistic and self-sacrificial. This one was frustrating all the way to the end. It was difficult to even root for her HEA—which is a good thing, since there wasn’t one at the end. Ugg. I’m finished with this mess. After all this time, there’s still absolutely no resolution or satisfaction. Perhaps this will be a trilogy since so much was left unresolved? However, I don’t think I can handle another 13 hours of this.

Tranquility is the second book in the Turbulence series and cannot be read as a standalone.

With that cliffhanger from the previous book, I was excited to see what happened next for Brit, Sean, and Jasper. There was drama, angst, and a lot of emotion in this story.

Brit really went through a lot. I mean, she had to heal from her childhood and her recent traumatic event. And the whole book was basically her healing process; she had her moments where she thought she was okay and her moments where she broke again, which is honestly so real when it comes to healing. And Sean, he was there for her; he was patient; but he got fed up and lashed out, causing more pain and grief for Brit. Again, it just seemed so realistic.

As for Jasper, well, he just seemed crazy. But that’s how he was supposed to be, so Lilly K. Cee did a great job on his character and why he did what he did.

This book is heartbreaking, emotional, raw, and real.

Audio:
Narrators: Angelina Rocca and Gary Furlong
Style: Duet

These two reprised their roles as Brit and Sean/Jasper, respectively. But there was also a new character, Evie, voiced by Angelina Rocca, and she had an accent. They both did an excellent job differentiating their character’s voices. Angelina really was amazing as Brit. She captures all of her emotions, and Brit definitely had a lot of conflicting ones. Gary made Sean sound like a great guy, and he made Jasper sound crazy. Honestly, they just did an amazing job.

Tranquility
Turbulence, Book 2
By: Lilly K. Cee
Narrated by: Gary Furlong, Angelina Rocca

Talk about a deep and emotional journey! This is the second part of the Turbulence Duet and it is a fantastic listen! It picks up where Entanglement left off, a cliffhanger to end all cliffhangers and the journey of Sean and Brit continues on a rough and rocky path. Brit has a lot to deal with, and nothing comes easy. Sean does his best to be patient with her, and his feelings never falter. But the reality of her experiences is something only she can come to terms with and overcome. Evie and Jasper also play crucial roles as things all come to a head. Dark and gritty, Lilly K Cee knows how to grab my heart and keep it hostage until the end. I enjoyed every minute.

With narrators like Gary Furlong and Angelina Rocca bringing it all to life, the story was captivating. Furlong's accent had me loving Sean, yes the accent is a definite draw. He pulled out so many emotions for Sean and I could feel everyone. Rocca, I can't say enough good things about. Brit is a tough character to portray, with so many facets of her personality and Rocca finds each one, deals with each feeling and brings her alive. I enjoyed their performance and I think it truly enhanced this duet.

Tranquility is the conclusion to Brit, Sean, and Jaspers story and picks up right where Entanglement left off. Brit has already been through so much and now she has to deal with a betrayal by someone she thought she could trust. Meanwhile Sean is doing everything he can to show her how much he cares and how he’ll be there to support her no matter what, all the while Brit does everything in her power to push him away. But what happens when Brit pushed too much? Can she heal from everything that’s happened to her and finally be able to open her heart to Sean? Will Sean’s love ever be enough? This is yet another emotional journey that had my heart hurting and feeling for everything these characters went through. Lilly K. Cee did a fantastic job with these characters and their growth as well as making them feeling real.

Both Angelina Rocca and Gary Furlong returned as the voices of Brit, Sean/Jasper, and we were introduced to a new character who Angelina voiced as well. I absolutely love Angelina and she’s fast become one of my favourite female narrators. I’m also truly enjoying Gary as a narrator and his ability to become a completely different person with his voice. They both did a fantastic job in both books.

Audiobook review: Narrated by Angelina Rocca and Gary Furlong

3.5 stars for story / 5 stars for performance

Tranquility starts off after a massive cliffhanger at the end of book one so I highly recommend reading Entanglement first. While that one is full of suspense and is very exciting, book two deals more with the aftermath of a trauma and following as Brit recovers both physically and emotionally from a life changing event. Overall, this story is amazing and I love the journey from beginning to end. That being said, the pace of this book is drastically different from book one so be prepared for a massive speed change. It was a wonderful conclusion to a highly emotional duet.

Angelina Rocca and Gary Furlong, once again, delivered a highly emotional performance that truly elevated the story. The duet narration will forever be my favorite and it really helps make the characters feel more connected. These two were both perfectly cast and performed their roles so well that I feel a little sad that I won't hear more of their story.

Book one ended on a HUGE cliffhanger that had me on the edge of my seat! This is book 2 and it brought everything together. Witnessing the process of her recovery from book one is intense. The emotions are constantly flying out the window throughout the whole story line. This book is slower in pace though compared to book one because it goes into so much depth emotionally. It’s well worth the pace change because it builds up and has you questioning things drastically. Like what will Brit decide? Tranquility is a truly touching recovery story from trauma. Personally speaking, it hit some trauma recovery topics that are never really brought up in real life and I thought it was magnificent to see an author recognize those things.
Angelina Rocca and Gary Furlong continued this duet narration of the Turbulence Duet. Both Angelina and Gary are fabulous narrators. The range of emotions both narrators put into this performance was astounding! Wonderful choice for all this in depth characters.
If you enjoy mystery thriller and romance this duet needs to be on your TBL.

This is book two in the Turbulence series. Tranquility is 479 pages, and picks up exactly where book one leaves off. Because of this I recommend you read book one (Entanglement) before starting this book!

Kudos to Lilly K Cee! This story and these characters are so well written. It’s been a few days, and I’m still thinking of them. There is so much I want to say, but I don’t want to give away any spoilers! As I said in the title, it really is an epic saga of the lives of Sean, Jasper and Britton. From childhood to adulthood, friendships, love and tragedy. It’s also set in Ireland which I absolutely loved.

The ending does leave you in a good spot, although I was doubtful for a moment! 😳 It wasn’t the typical happily ever after I am use to, but it did leave me with a smile and the knowledge all would be well! Give the Turbulence series a try. I really enjoyed it and I think you will too. Five Stars & Two Thumbs Up!

So this book picks up where Entanglement leaves off and brings you right back into the intensity of the story between Brit and Sean and the aftermath of the events at the end of part one. I felt for Brit in this part especially. To say she has a lot to process would be the understatement of the century! I felt this was little bit darker and a little more intense, for me anyway, than the first book. Brit is such a strong character with an independent streak a mile wide. I felt like I went through all of the heartbreak, the healing, and all of the other emotions she experienced. This was such a gut-wrenchingly beautiful story from beginning to end.

I received this book in exchange for a honest review.

this was a very emotional rollercoaster of emotions because of "the incident" in book #1 and as navigate with the main characters, one trying to be there to support and show their love, one who has no real remorse, and the one who has to heal from all the demons she has and will continue to face soon. Brit went through so much! She's a badass. Sean was that boyfriend that was there for her to protect, love, and support her. She needed to go through and fix some things on her own but they're soulmates back then and now.

AUDIOBOOK REVIEW:

Tranquility is book #2 in the Turbulence duet. It is not a standalone and book #1, Entanglement, should be read first. Tranquility picks up where book #1 ends, dealing with the horrific event and the aftermath of mistrust. Brit is recovering and trying to pick up the pieces of her life. Sean is trying to help her, but Brit is so mis-trusting of everyone around her. This finale is so heart-wrenching, laced with intrigue and stolen moments of hope. I was captivated with this story from beginning to end (and equipped with tissues and wine).

The narration was perfection again. Angelina Rocca and Gary Furlong were Brit and Sean again in book #2. These two made this story for me and really brought it to life. 5 engaging stars!

Tranquility is the second book in the Turbulence series and the conclusion to Brit , Sean, and Jasper's story which began in Entanglement.

This book continues where the first one left off and it was such an emotional book. My heart hurt for everything Brit went through but I adored Sean for being so supportive, yet realistic.

These characters were realistic and the way Lilly K. Cee has written them was truly commendable.

This story had everything. There was angst, pain, love, betrayal, intrigue, emotion, suspense, mystery, and love.

Angelica Rocca and Gary Furlong were again phenomenal in this book and their ability to express the characters’ personalities through their voices added to the experience.

This book picks up where Entanglement left off. We now get to see the aftermath of that cliffhanger and how Brit and Sean deal with it all. Brit is resilient and you really get to see her emotional growth as well as her healing after so much trauma. It truly is an emotional journey. This duology is so well written with wonderful characters and lots of depth. Just make sure you have tissues handy. The narrators, Gary Furlong and Angelina Rocca, really did an amazing performance and added that extra layer to the emotional impact of this book.
I was sent a free audiobook from HCB and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

Another twisty turny experience. Emotional rollercoaster for sure! I wasn’t sure what was going to happen after the last book ended. Some things I could predict but nothing could have prepared me for it all. Lilly was a master at taking the reader through each emotion as Brit struggles to deal with the trauma of her past and present. It is a little dark just with all Brit goes through, so beware. It’s also again a long read, but if you’re looking for a book to give hit you in the feels, this duet is it.

This second book in the "Turbulence" duology was as convoluted and complex as the first one. There were some difficult themes explored, and at times this made the story hard to experience emotionally. The author's writing style made this tale believable and the characters seemed like they could be real. There were some steamy scenes. Gary Furlong's and Angelina Rocca's dual narrations kept my attention and their performances added to the impact of the story. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

I listened to the audio of this book. It started right where Entanglement left off. Lilly is a fantastic writer in that all her characters are real and raw like people really are. We all have flaws and aren't perfect. This book had me in all my feels. And Sean has the love and patience of a Saint. He stood by her all the way. Brit was very complex. And her feelings were necessary. I couldn't imagine someone you grew up with and loved most of your life could do anything as horrific as that to you. Wonderful ending eventhough it wasn't a traditional HEA. Angelina Rocca and Gary Furlong narrated and were fantastic as always. Gary's accent is superb. And Angelina's voice is like a warm blanket. So comforting. Thank you, Lilly. Wonderful story and I can't wait to read your other ones.

This book picks up where the previous left off (make sure you read it first).
There are several dark themes in this book, but its so beautifully done. The heartache and healing are beautiful.
Brit and Sean have a lot to over come (some is of their own making). They are both so passionate and devoted to each other. Love the multiple views shown throughout the story to give more richness.

I am so glad that I didn't have to wait to read the second book of this duology. This is definitely an intense and a bit darker that the first book in my opinion. I am very glad that we got a more in depth look at the characters. This is a longer book but the story kept me hooked and I needed to see how the story ended.

This is the second book in the Turbulence Series. The story continues where the first book left off. The storyline is intense, emotional, and engaging. This is a great conclusion to this series. Gary Furlong and Angelina Rocca did an excellent job bringing this story to life. I enjoyed it. #HomeCookedBooks

"Because in my world, it’s the only thing that happens; love is not a reward. It’s not bells and doves and silver glitter. It’s bruises and humiliation and pain and blood."

This picks up right where we left off in Entanglement. BRUTAL!

I could not get enough of Brit and Sean. The dysfunction. Friends to lovers. Dark and twisty thoughts of a broken woman. MORE MORE MORE! This book (and Entanglement) threw me into the WORST book hangover. I'm sad that I'll never have the opportunity to go back and read this duology again.

Author note: You know you have a wonderful author on your hands when you want to go to them to talk about these characters as if they are REAL people that you both know and love!
