What an ending

Dismount. It’s a tricky thing trying to hide something from your family. They thought it was going to be easy to hide their love, and not get caught, but boy or boy were they wrong. Ria’s father caught them in the act and was furious. Now she has to continue her career without her coach, her lover, and while dealing with this incurable disease. What will ever happen.

Oh, the ending of this book I got to me it’s really got to me. It is truly a must read series to just read the wonderful words that Lucia has putting together in the series. This will definitely be a continuously read series from here on out for everyone and especially myself. I would so reread.

Kova!

I loved this series. Wonder world building and a great story, Kia a and Ria ❤️

Beautiful love story

Beautifully written. I didn’t want it to end. The emotions of the characters were expressed with such intensity and detail.

gymnastics details and how detailed the love scenes were.

would have liked more details when he finally came for her. would like to know if father finally accepted their love.

Overall, a good series

Likes:
-Relationship Feelings. Seeing both Kova and Ria finally admit how they felt about each other was very satisfying!
-Narration. Sarah Puckett did a phenomenal job! Each character had there own unique voice (male or female) and accent. The Russian accent sounded authentic and even though I don't speak Russian that dialoged sounded so natural and not at all forced. Sarah gets 5 out of 5 stars for her narration!

Dislikes
-The time jumps... WHAT THE HECK! It was very abrupt. After most of the book taking place in one time setting... why do that will little to no explanation?
-Length of book... I honestly felt like this needed some editing.

Thank You to Forever and Always PR for providing a free audiobook. I am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

Beautiful story

The highs. The lows. The love story is absolute perfection. I’ve never read anything like this and I don’t think I ever will again. Adrianna and Kova are toxic and perfect. This story will stay with me for a long time.

Explosion of emotions

This final part of Adrianna and Kova's story did not slow down on the emotional wreckage I have become. Seriously this series have given me so much in so many unexpected ways. I feel like I need to go back to the beginning again to see things in a new light knowing how it all played through. Lucia Franco really brought a tip notch story to the pages and Sarah Puckett did it justice with her voice. I do not know what to do with myself now that the story is complete. I truly may start right back over so I don't have to let go just yet.

THE BEST SERIES EVER!!!

This series is my absolute favorite series of all time. It’s so beautifully written and has all the feels. It’s one of those stories that imprints on your soul and you never forget it and listen/read it over and over again.

FANTASTIC!!!

This book has my emotions spinning out of control. I almost had to stop listening, just to give my heart a break, but I pushed through and I'm so happy I did. This is my new favorite book and series! Thank you Lucia for writing such a heart-wrenching/heartwarming series and Sarah did an amazing job bringing these characters to life. Kova and Adriana's story will live with me forever. I don't think I could ever tire of them and just want more.

SO ADDICTIVE

This entire series so unbelievably amazing and just unputdownable. My life is forever changed.

This is a forbidden romance with student/coach relationship so be look up tw before reading this series as it might not be for you.
