An emotional ride

⚠️ Spoilers after 1st paragraph.
This story follows Ari as she discovers love. We first meet her in Fumbled Hearts as cousin of Nate. She finally loses her virginity to Chase but too afraid of losing Mason Chase calls it a mistake. Starting college with heartache is tough. Meeting Noah, star quarterback, and finding love is a beautiful ride. He is sweet, respectful, not at all a player. I love seeing Ari’s bond with Mason and the crew. The way Cam steps up for her and her family and friends is heartwarming. It is a very PG story where the touch of an arm is a big deal. The steamiest scene is in the epilogue.
I love a long book but felt the ending was too manipulative in the writing. Drawing out really emotional scenes just for the sake of it. Ari losing a child and not even wondering who the father is really doesn’t make sense. Knowing how guarded her and her family is it’s obvious Noah must be of importance. Yes, Chase was selfish but his reasoning could be valid too. I think he was just made to appear worse again for creating more drama. The wrap up was beautiful and epilogue was perfect.
Looking forward to Mason’s story next as there are many hints for it.

Great book.

Whew what a ride that book was. Pretty sure I have a love/hate relationship with this story. I have never wanted to punch a character as badly as I wanted to punch Chase. What a LOSER. OMG. Noah is perfection! This was such a great (albeit emotional) story, and honestly it would have been a 5 for me, had the miscommunication trope not reared it’s ugly head around the halfway point. Miscommunication makes me want to rip my hair out 😮‍💨 pretty sure I spent a good amount of time literally shouting at my phone as I read. I love a good angsty story and this one did not disappoint.

Review

♾️⭐️
This has easily made it to my top 3 favorite books of all time.

This book is absolutely beautiful. The characters, the story line, just everything about this book.

It completely ripped my heart in two but pieces it back together beautifully.

Noah Riley is easily my top book boyfriend now. So humble, so kind, so caring, so patient, so loving.

I will say reading Fumbled Hearts and Defenseless Hearts before this really helped with all of the characters at the beginning. All the side characters like Payton, Kenra, Nate, etc we’re all mentioned in those other two books so it really gave a good understanding on who they were and helped me not get confused.

I CANT STOP SOBBING

The most beautiful, gut wrenching, amazing book ever. That is all. & yes this is my first review I’ve ever left because I loved it that much.

Must Read!!

Talk about an emotional freaking roller coaster!! Five freaking stars!! This book brought me to tears.
