My Kennedy Ryan cherry has been officially popped!

It is well known that Kennedy Ryan is the fuckin queen. But she's also known for making her readers experience intense emotions and shedding plenty of tears. I don't like to cry so while I follow Kennedy online, I was hesitant to read her work. A bitch just didn't want to be in her feelings.

But for some unknown reason the universe decided that we need to change that and sent Kennedy to my home state for a signing event. Which motivated to jump into her world.

So, don't hate me but for a good 20 minutes I was NOT vibing. I felt like this was moving too slow and was not original. Guy falls in love with his best friend's girlfriend. She's soo beautiful that every man in the room stops to stare. Her heart is so golden that women want to be her. She's a perfect human being overcoming a traumatic past to become a shining star.

He's a rich humanitarian who balances being a cutthroat businessman and building an orphanage in Africa. He's soo handsome that his smile makes panties melt. Cool.

Literally for a full 20 minutes I was cynical and thought to myself this is what everyone is hyping. This cookie cutter couple.

Yeah, I was soo wrong. This woman ripped my heart out and had me in tears multiple times literally 5 chapters in. By 50% I took back every negative thought I ever had. By 70% I looked up the series and realized that this couple's story doesn't wrap up at the end so I did the ONLY reasonable thing a reader could do. I got in my car looking like a homeless person and drove to my local BAM to buy the entire series. While rocking headphones and listening to this story while shopping.

This story had me in a chokehold. There is absolutely NOTHING cookie cutter about this couple or their complicated triangle... or should I say unofficial square.
 

 HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND 

Fast, Spicy, & Satisfying 

 This was so fun to read. Chole and Major are an adorable couple that are in a loving relationship. They are so happy and enjoy each other. Both have said numerous times they are each other's best friend, and you can tell. Best friends that like to have sex all over the place. In the shower, against a door, on the floor, up high, in the dark, and in the sunshine. The ending is a bit of tease, like what! You can't introduce that then end it like that LOL. 

 The way this story kept me in a chokehold the entire fucking time!!! I loved everything about it.

Before I jump into my review, I want to point out I read this digitally. I came in blind with this being my first book ever by this author. Our MCs have previously been side characters in other stories and what I liked... no absolutely loved is the fact that when the side characters in their story were introduced, they were highlighted, and I was able to follow a hyperlink in a new window showing me that character's story. I have NEVER seen that before. So, while it was small and didn't really impact the story, I loved that because as a reader I didn't have to go searching.

Back to the story. The way my heart broke for Candi and all the little girls who grew up to be women with tragic backstories and demons similar to hers. Based on what was shared about her past I'm not sure that I would have liked seeing Candi before this. It was a privilege for me to meet her while on her healing journey, so my heart didn't have to break further seeing her drugged up, tricked out, and reliving abuse. I was soo proud of her for taking charge of her life and making the much-needed changes to find inner peace.

I often forget that men can be empaths. Women talk about it openly, men not so much. I know that you can be an emotional gangster but rarely does one openly say I felt her hurt before she ever said a word. I loved this man so much. He has been placed at the TOP of my BOOK BOYFRIEND Roster.

I loved every interaction between these two. They were so incredibly open and raw. The communication was top tier, I loved the playfulness and their ability to just vibe. I went in knowing this was insta-love. I have read plenty of insta-love. Most of the time in that sub-genre authors will describe a pull or an instant contentment.

Evelyn didn't tell us there as a pull, instead the readers became spectators with front row seats and were able to feel the pull straight from the pages.

Highly Recommend! 

 This was a quick suspenseful read filled with questions and audacity. It was enjoyable and I loved the ending. It made me cackle in petty bitch.
