Review: Reverse

 


Title: Reverse

Series: Bittersweet Symphony Duet

Author: Kate Stewart

Release Date: July 19



Thirty years ago, my father became the other half of a broken love story. 


A relationship he’s kept hidden for decades.


Upon unearthing his secret through a series of emails in our paper’s archives, I began my search for the truth. Haunted by my father’s love story, and in my quest for answers, I never imagined I would discover a love of my own. Or that my love for Easton Crowne would be key in discovering the reason behind what split our parents up.


Doomed from the start and knowing the havoc our relationship would inevitably wreak on our families, I could never have prepared for the toll it would take or the cost of the truth.


But in order to find our ending, we had to go back to their beginning.


My name is Natalie Butler, and this is my star-crossed love story.




*you MUST read Drive before reading Reverse to best understand this story and all these characters & the emotion throughout it.

I just finished reading Reverse- the length of this book considerably longer, hundreds of pages packed with angst, history, love and heartbreak.
It made me cry- tears flowing freely as I read the love sorry between Easton and Natalie. This book sent me on a emotional rollercoaster, punching me in the feels, but gripping me by the throat, and I couldn't look away. It was hypnotizing, and gripping, and heart shattering.
The love story was bigger than just Natalie and Easton, and to best understand they needed to go back to the start.
And that's what happened when Natalie was emersed in the past- into the love story between her father Nate and Easton's mother Stella, even though their story didn't end together, Natalie is on a mission to find out why, and what happened. And that spark lead her to meet Easton... And their angst filled romance, the modern day Romeo and Juliet- with a love greater than themselves, but stilted by circumstance, will it survive the test of time, or will their romance implode taking every one with them?
God, this book. I'm at a loss for words. It made me feel, every last thing. The angst, the push and pull, the allure and the love. My heart went through the ringer, and I'm battered and bruised but enjoyed every single second of it.
I fell in love all over again, with the characters and the story and felt every damn emotion. If you haven't got your heart ran over by one of Kate's brilliant books yet, you are missing out. I have no idea how to convey everything this book made me feel into words, but it is one that will stick with me, embedded into my very being. Kate may have had a ton to live up to, this being the sequel to Drive- but she delivered, this book is more. More love, more heartbreak, more angst and more drama. And more music, Reverse was extraordinary, standing and shining on its own while shedding light on it's predecessor - the story exceeding and surpassing any expectations or doubts, landing among the stars & will live in infamy - a timeless tale of love, loss, and what could have been. 5 supernova ⭐ out of 5⭐. 3🌶️ out of 5🌶️.

Reread: Broken Bonds

  Title: Broken Bonds  Series: Bonds That Tie  Author: J Bree Release Date: June 2021 After the death of my mother and her Bonded, I was relieved to find my own Bonds. I was sure everything would be okay if I had them. It wasn’t. The fate of our people is in my hands and I know we’re better off if I’m alone. After five years on the run, I’m caught and dragged back to face the men I ran away from. I thought I was doing the right thing. Now, I’m not so sure. North, Nox, Gryphon, Atlas, and Gabe may never forgive me but one thing is for sure. I won’t ever forgive myself. *Broken Bonds is a full length reverse harem PNR novel with material that may be difficult for some readers. This book will end on a cliffhanger. It's recommended for 18+ due to language and sexual situations. Goodreads | Amazon   So I am rereading the Bonds that Tie series to read the newest release Broken Ties. You can find my  Original Review Here . This is a romantasy why choose romance full o...

Review: the Rake

  Title: The Rake Series: Boston Belles Author: LJ Shen Release Date: February 16 This is a DARK, royal standalone and the last book in the Boston Belles series.

Devon Whitehall is 6’2” of premium DNA, financial security, and British royal titles. Best of all, he fears the one thing she dreads the most: getting hitched. Emmabelle figures it’s a no-brainer when Devon offers his services—sperm and involvement in her future child’s life.  What begins as an innocent, modern-family arrangement, quickly erodes into a web of lies, dark pasts, and unfurled secrets.  Inside this chaos, Emmabelle and Devon a...
