Review

“You and me, baby. We’re not right now. We’re forever.”

5 beautifully romantic stars!

Just wow. What an amazing, beautifully romantic continuation of Will and Maggie’s story. So much heart, passion and intensity, the finale to the Discreet duet is dramatic and emotional, and a love story that absolutely stole my heart. A gorgeous read, I loved it so much!

This book picks up a couple of weeks after the ending of Discreet. Will’s secret is out, and the world’s most famous movie star is back on the grid after his mysterious disappearance four years ago, and he is not happy about. But this time he has Maggie by his side, and the feels are super intense as the two of them face the reality of their situation.

“I’m Will, Maggie.” His voice cracked, and I watched, horrified, as he sank to his knees in front of me and buried his face in my thigh. “I’m your Will, baby. And you’re mine. My Lily pad. Without you… Without you, I have no name. Without you, I’m no one at all.”

There is so much that thy need to sort through, first and foremost between the two of them, and I was on the edge of my seat with my heart aching as they pour their hearts out.

“I’m still mad at you,” I whispered as he pressed kisses on top of my head.
One hand wrapped securely around my waist while the other slid up my neck to cup the back of my head and cradle me into his shoulder.
“So be mad,” he said. “Be angry. Be upset. But be mad with me, Lil. Just be with me.”

But they are entering a whole new world as they are suddenly thrust into the spotlight, facing the pressures of Hollywood and fame and becoming targets of the incessant paparazzi. Can they make it in the world that almost broke Will the first time around? And how will they deal with the massive changes they are about to face? It’s a rollercoaster ride, and through it all there is SO much emotion. And after the secrets of their beginning, I love that they are so open with each other now, deeply in love and determined to do anything to stay together.

“Don’t leave me again, Lil,” he whispered as he buried his face into my neck. “I can’t do this without you.”

But they are in for a world of drama as the deal with family drama, ex drama, and the huge complications that come with Will’s celebrity – both to him individually and to them as a couple. It’s a lot to deal with, and watching them work through it all had me glued to my kindle as I journeyed through the highs and lows with them. It’s not always easy, and the drama does get intense, but at the middle of it all we have this beautiful love story that makes all of the heartache worth it.

It’s beautifully romantic, and I was lost in a world of swoon. And the hotness! OMG, so much hotness. The steamy time is super sexy and intense, and there’s a lot of it, showing the depth of Will and Maggie’s connection and bringing even more feels!

“God,” he whispered, eyes full of love … “How do you do it?”
I swallowed. “Do what?”
… “Be the air I need and take my breath away all at once.”

I absolutely loved this story! Will and Maggie stole my heart, and though their romance wasn’t always easy, I loved watching them work through it all and find the HEA that they both so desperately wanted.

This is a great ending to the duet, rated down half a point only for some predictable, slightly cheesy moments, but it’s a story that will stay with me for a long time.

Absolutely beautiful! 5 stars.
