Dylan St. Clair is chaos.\u00a0 And chaos always leaves a trail of destruction in its wake.\u00a0 I just hadn’t expected it to be my heart he destroyed.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve had a crush on Dylan St. Clair since he climbed into my bedroom window ten years ago.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Wrong window, Romeo.<\/em><\/p>\n

I was eleven, he was seventeen. A bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks with a chip on his shoulder and fresh bruises from his latest fight, he went on to play the starring role in all my teenage fantasies.<\/span><\/p>\n

But I always knew he was off-limits. So, over the years I gave up wishing and hoping we could ever be together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Until he kissed me on a cold beach one starry winter\u2019s night.<\/span><\/p>\n

Until he said those five words that changed everything.<\/span><\/p>\n

I picked the wrong sister.<\/em><\/p>\n

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

4.5 stars!<\/b><\/p>\n

An angsty and dramatic forbidden-ish romance with all the feels, this book took me on a rollercoaster of emotion, and wow, I loved it!<\/p>\n

This book is a follow on from one of my fave reads of 2019, Wilder Love<\/a>. Dylan St Clair is the twin brother of Remy (heroine of Wilder Love<\/i>), brave, bold and protective of his sister, with a wild streak a mile wide, he is the quintessential bad boy, and he will absolutely own your heart! While you could read this book as a standalone, the characters from the previous book both appear in this one, and beware that this book does contain spoilers for the first.<\/p>\n

Dylan\u2019s toxic relationship with his high school girlfriend, Sienna, played out in the background of Wilder Love<\/i>. I kept wondering if we would get his story, and I was both thrilled and terrified by the prospect. Thrilled because I freaking love Dylan, terrified because Sienna seemed like a nightmare and I really wasn\u2019t that interested in reading about her. Well, this book solved all my problems and I was absolutely ecstatic when I learned that Dylan\u2019s love story would actually be with Sienna\u2019s younger sister, Scarlett. Angst alert!!! I couldn\u2019t wait to get my hands on this story, and it totally delivered.<\/p>\n

\u201cI picked the wrong sister.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Scarlett grew up in her older sister\u2019s shadow. The youngest daughter of a ridiculously wealthy family, she has always been the black sheep, not wanting a life controlled by her father or dictated by their social status. She is a free spirit with an artistic soul and a strong independent streak, and I absolutely loved her!<\/p>\n

She and Dylan had their first real encounter when she was only 11 years old and he snuck into her room by mistake, thinking he was visiting her sister. It was a short visit, but it left its mark on both of them, and it marked the moment that Scarlett completely fell for her sister\u2019s boyfriend. She\u2019s tried to move on, but he\u2019s always been the guy that all others measure up to. Now she\u2019s 21 years old and making her own way in the world, and she and Dylan are suddenly running into each other everywhere. And that spark has turned into full-blown lust.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an attraction that goes both ways as Dylan finally notices that Scarlett is all grown up, and the kid that he used to admire so much is somebody that he can really see himself with. And for a guy that usually doesn\u2019t get emotionally involved, that is a huge thing. But their past, and Scarlett\u2019s sister, are a huge roadblock for them and their relationship has its challenges before it even begins, and I loved watching them navigate it all.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat about Sienna?\u201d
\nHe lifted one shoulder in a shrug. \u201cWhat about her? We\u2019ve been over for a long time.\u201d
\n\u201cIt\u2019s still wrong.\u201d
\n\u201cThen why does it feel so fucking right?\u201d
\n\u2026
\n\u201cYou belonged to her first.\u201d
\n\u201cI\u2019ve never belonged to anyone.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s a fantastic set-up and the chemistry is there right from the very beginning. You can feel the bond between these two, which is so much more than just physical attraction. They connect on a deeper level, which came across in each and every encounter.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone needs someone who believes in them. I believe in you \u2026 Just like you always did for me, even when I didn\u2019t deserve it. Even when I didn\u2019t acknowledge it, I saw you, Scarlett. I always saw you.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s a beautiful relationship, full of laughs and teasing, flirting and dirty talk, and a whole lot of steam. They don\u2019t jump right into it, which means the sexual tension builds beautifully and meaningfully, but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not hot, and OMG, it\u2019s hot!<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re not my second choice. You\u2019re not a consolation prize. You\u2019re everything I never knew I needed. You\u2019re my number fucking one. You <\/i>own me.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But it\u2019s an angsty ride, and Scarlett\u2019s sister is only the tip of the iceberg. Dylan has done well for himself, he owns his own business and has made his fortune, but he still bears the emotional scars from his childhood. For so long his life has been about dealing with shit to protect his beloved sister, and it\u2019s a role that he struggles to let go. Add to that his need to prove himself to the people that used to look down at him, including his issues with Sienna\u2019s family, and the fact that he\u2019s in his first real<\/i> relationship, and he\u2019s dealing with a lot. He knows he is messed up and that he has issues to deal with, and my heart ached for him and all that he goes through in this book.<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody has ever loved me the way you do. Don\u2019t let me ruin this. Don\u2019t let me ruin us.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And this is where Sienna shines! She is there for Dylan in a way that nobody has been before. Open and honest, she doesn\u2019t hold back from him, and I love the way she throws herself out there, revelling in everything that is developing between them. But she\u2019s also not a doormat, she stands up to him and she takes care of herself, while taking care of him, and she strikes a really great balance between the two.<\/p>\n

So it\u2019s not an easy ride and there are mistakes made along the way. It\u2019s dramatic and it\u2019s angsty, but at the heart of all of the drama is an amazing love story that feels<\/i> so right. Dylan and Scarlett are made for each other, and it\u2019s just a matter of holding on through the heartache, knowing that it will all be worth it in the end.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat are we, Dylan?\u201d \u2026
\n\u201cWe\u2019re everything, Starlet. Every-fucking-thing.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

*dreamy sigh*<\/p>\n

And what an ending! Not one, but two epilogues which give us glimpses into the future, and finish off the story beautifully.<\/p>\n

Shane and Remy from Wilder Love<\/i> both feature throughout the story, and not only did I love seeing more of them living their happy ending, but I also loved seeing Dylan relationship with them both. It absolutely melted my heart!<\/p>\n

I loved this book. Emery Rose has delivered another fun, sweet, yet heartwrenching read that kept me absolutely glued to my kindle. I adored these characters so much, and I loved their story.<\/p>\n

4.5 stars<\/p>\n
