Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

4.5 stars!<\/p>\n

The world wasn\u2019t fair. It wasn\u2019t fair at all. But sometimes\u2026sometimes, it paid you back. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I have been eagerly anticipating the finale of the Stone Cold Fox Trilogy<\/i><\/a> so when Fox<\/i> arrived on my kindle I dropped everything and dove right in. It picks up immediately after Cold<\/i><\/a> and the prologue is crushing. The first emotion I felt when I was devastation. I knew it would be an emotional ride and I was expecting heartache; however, I wasn\u2019t prepared for how much happiness I\u2019d feel as well before I even reached the end.<\/p>\n

I adored Ivy from the beginning. She\u2019s talented and puts her all into things. Caring and sweet to the core, she deserved to be happy, and when an unimaginable tragedy turns her life upside down, I cried real tears for her. Ivy\u2019s vulnerability made her human, and the turmoil, guilt, and pain that consumes her felt so real that I experienced the emotions full force.<\/p>\n

I caught myself just before the corner of my mouth could curve up. A hint of happiness, a glimpse into the past. The crushing blow of reality was almost soul-destroying.
\nI wasn\u2019t ready to smile.
\nI didn\u2019t <\/i>deserve\u00a0to smile. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I can\u2019t even imagine what she is going through and I wanted to take her pain away. She is so strong, though, and with the support of key people in her life she is able to handle the pain.<\/p>\n

Somewhere along the way, I\u2019d gotten lost in the floundering fight to be strong. But standing strong didn\u2019t mean you couldn\u2019t use the muscle of another person to do it.
\nAnd Levi had muscles in spades. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Levi is fantastic in this book. Swoonier, sweeter, and sexier than ever before and I couldn\u2019t have loved him more. He is Ivy\u2019s rock, providing unwavering support, and he proves his love over and over again. \u00a0I fell for him harder with everything he does and loved that we get to see how big his heart is.<\/p>\n

From this moment on, I was a man at her disposal. I\u2019d be her punching bag when she needed and her shoulder to cry on when she allowed. For her, I vowed to be anything and everything.\u00a0<\/i>Always.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Talk about a total swoonfest! I melted every time Levi was around. I couldn\u2019t stop highlighting every sweet thing that ran through his head or came out of his mouth.<\/p>\n

Ivy Stone was my whole fucking world.
\nWe\u2019d been through so fucking much.
\nWe\u2019d had to deal with so much.
\nBut one constant had always remained\u2014I loved this woman madly. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Levi and Ivy hand over their hearts and give each other everything. They complement one another so well and I really enjoyed seeing Ivy and Levi work through the heartbreak together. They are a team in this book, a united force that refuses to let the tragedy ruin them.<\/p>\n

From fighting to kissing to fighting and kissing.
\nFrom heartbreak and turmoil to love and adoration.
\nFrom absolute devastation to tiny miracles.
\nSomehow, someway, we\u2019d managed to get\u00a0<\/i>here.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Even though there is overwhelming sadness, there are plenty of fun moments with entertaining banter laced throughout to lighten the mood. The sexy time will make you hot and bothered, the sweet moments will make you swoon, the happiness and joy will soothe your soul, and their unending love will make happy tears fall from your eyes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love you,\u201d he whispered against my lips. \u201cI love you more than I knew it was even possible to love someone. And every day, that love keeps growing. You\u2019re my heart, Ivy. My whole fucking heart.\u201d <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fox<\/i> is not as angsty as the other books, but it was no less entertaining or emotional. There were twists that were jaw dropping and I experienced everything alongside the characters as the story took turns I didn\u2019t see coming. I had trouble wrapping my head around it all and I felt the devastation, anger, pain, surprise, fear, elation, and so much more. The beginning will gut you but I loved that every part of this story slowly pieced my heart back together. I haven\u2019t cried so many happy tears while reading a book in a long time. The feels are all over the place and I loved them all.\u00a0It was perfect and my heart was so much more full than I thought possible when it came to these two characters. They\u2019ve had more than their share of heart ache but in the end their life is beautiful.<\/p>\n

Life had thrown us some serious punches. Some life-altering obstacles.
\nAnd there were days where it almost felt like too much to handle.
\nBut life had also given us this.
\nThese special moments.
\nThese amazing people.
\nThis sometimes chaotic and messy, but always beautiful, life together.
\nWe were blessed. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Overall, Fox\u00a0<\/i>is\u00a0an amazing conclusion to the Stone Cold Fox Trilogy<\/i><\/a> and I loved it!<\/p>\n
