Grant
All of my demons are coming to head.
I thought Ari could push them back.
I thought I could conquer my vices with her at my side.
I thought wrong.
Aribel
Fear is my new constant.
I thought I could conceal it, contain it, control it.
I thought that now that I had Grant the worst was over. I thought wrong.
But if we’re going to survive, wherever you go…take me with you.
The
plot picks up where we left off and Grant and Ari are all loved up,
but trying to ignore issues bubbling under the surface of their
relationship. This final part of their story is angst with a capital
A and I loved it!
What I
enjoyed most about this book was seeing both Grant and Ari grow as
people. They are young, but the author manages to convey their
development in such a mature way. Ari and Grant are strong and
determined and stay true to themselves with the belief that they can
mutually overcome any of life's obstacles together. If only life was
that simple!
Grant's
total devotion to Ari is both sweet and sincere. He tells a few lies
of omission along the way simply to protect her from someone he sees
as a threat. Of course, that isn't the right thing to do, but us
readers know he did what he thought was best at the time. Only
hindsight tells us differently. Ari's influence just brings out the
best qualities in Grant. He's become focused and determined to lead
ContraBand into nationwide stardom when really a wannabe rock
superstar should be raising hell?
Aribel
is such a strong young woman, but we witness that even she isn't
immune to feelings of doubt and uncertainty, which is endearing and
relatable. After all she's in a relationship with a guy her family
doesn't approve of and he's surrounded by screaming groupies waiting
for his come on. Little wonder that insecurity can seep in just a
little. However her love and will take her way beyond any misgivings
because at the end of the day she knows what she wants -Grant
I was a
little apprehensive when I began reading this continuation of Grant
and Ari's relationship. The first book, whilst I liked it lacked the
little extra that makes it shine. K.A. Linde has definitely
made up for that in this sequel and completely wowed me and proved me
wrong. This is a fantastic finale to their story and their
overwhelming desire for neither of them to compromise each others
goals in life is sublime.
