One Eighty Too by Charity Shane'
3.5

 Readers, we met Brie and Amon in book one.

Brie is a plus size beauty, with a loud and fun personality, she's super supportive, carefree, and full of love. I instantly adored her. Amon is a big ass teddy bear. Dangerous and loyal. He and Brie hit it off from the moment they met, and their relationship developed alongside book one's couple.

BECAUSE of this I was hesitant to start this book. I had an image of this couple and did NOT want to fuck with it by seeing them fuss and fight like normal people. But my desire for the check in on all the supporting characters won out and I can honestly say I was not disappointed in the least.

Warning, Brie was on some bullshit in the beginning. I was a bit disappointed, but I had faith in her. Giving her GRACE I was able to see her overcome her challenges, and she did so in a very self-aware manner with little resistance. After some reveals I ended up being on her side in the end because WTF! Childhood trauma carries LIFELONG scars.

The dual storyline in this follows Amon dealing with consequences of actions that were taken in book one and some bitch ass antagonist that wanted to make moves but run away from confrontation SMH

This series has a satisfying amount of action and drama. Since this couple was already established and in love, I wouldn't consider this a love story. But it was an example of not allowing your trauma to block your blessings.

Definitely Recommend

PS: Shout out to Uncle Ryan! Can he get a short or something??
