Smokin’, Swoony, Sweet and a Satisfyingly Wonderful Ending

reviewthoughts

Yup! No doubt about it. Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward are now two of my favorite new to me authors this year. This duet was smokin’, swoony, and sweet. Rebel Heart was such a satisfyingly wonderful ending that had me holding my breath the entire time.

I must have died a million times because the FEELS in this one got to me SOO BADDDD. With new twists and turns, drama and angst, and swoons and surprises, this book had me reeling in every way and clutching my heart. I experienced so many emotions throughout this story, heck the entire series, and felt so much for the characters. It was definitely an intense rollercoaster ride and when it was all over, I was sad, but also blissfully happy.

“Yes. I could never forget this man. Very striking. Dangerous looking with a heart of gold. Rush was his name.”

These characters seriously have pieces of my heart. Love Rush and Gia so damn much. Rush can be bossy, demanding, hot-headed, and slow to trust, but he’s also protective, fiercely loyal, thoughtful and adorably romantic. Gia’s the perfect mix of sassy and sweet, and I just loved her sense of humor, determination, and strength. They were really great together and their chemistry was intense, swoony and undeniable. Ward and Keeland put them through so much heartbreak and I really enjoyed their individual and romantic journey. Their relationship was not easy and both Rush and Gia had to brave through incredibly complicated situations. I wasn’t sure how things were going to end for them, but I finished their story with a huge smile on my face.

” No, babe, I didn’t lose. From now on, there is no more unfortunately in out story.”

Rebel Heart was the perfect conclusion to this breathtaking, funny, and beautiful love story. The pacing was effortless, the writing was absolutely charming and evocative, the side characters were fantastic, the family dynamics were interesting, the bantering was brilliantly done, and the romance was realistic and sweet. I smiled like a dork, laughed out loud a few times, swooned like crazy, and even shed some tears. Keeland and Ward definitely know the way to my heart and I cannot wait to read whatever they come up with next.

“To expect to be able to prove something a hundred percent is stupid. Even the smallest shred of doubt is still doubt. And it’s normal to have doubts, because there is always uncertainty in life. We live every day knowing that there’s a possibility we could die. Yet, we get up every day and do what we need to do anyway. Life shouldn’t be about constantly trying to prove that we’re safe from getting hurt. Life should be about living with uncertainty while we watch beautiful sunsets with the people we love.”

If you’re looking for a story that’s humorous, hot, and full of heart, then I HIGHLY recommend you add this series on your TBR.

I purchased an electronic copy of this book and all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Be uncertain and live anyway. — In that moment, for the first time in a long time, I felt at peace. I gave up the fight to figure out tomorrow and chose to live for today.

I really enjoyed the Rush Duet and will miss Rush and Gia so much.

Hi Loves!!! It’s been forever since I’ve done this, so I’d figure it’s about time… Actually, every week I always tell myself I’m going to get to it, but when I get home I just want to be away from the computer. Plus, I have to tend to the puppy and get really tired, so I’d rather read and relax after my puppy duties. But what the heck, it’s kind of slow at work and I have a few minutes to spare.

WWW Wednesday which is a weekly segment hosted by Taking on a World of Words.

Just answer these three questions:

What did you recently finish reading?
What are you currently reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?

I’ve been doing really well with my reading and slowly catching up with my TBRs. I’m actually 1 book ahead of my Goodreads Challenge so Yay Me!!! Since last Wednesday, I managed to finish three books. Kiss Me in New York by Catherine Rider, Rebel Heir and Rebel Heart (The Rush Duet) by Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland. I posted my reviews for Kiss Me in New York and Rebel Heir so feel free to check those out (just click the titles if you want to be redirected to the review posts). Review for Rebel Heart will be posted tomorrow.

I’m currently reading two books right now. Magic of Winter by Martina Boone and Rumor Has It by Jessica Lemmon. So far, I’m enjoying both of these. I’m more than halfway done with Magic of Winter and just a few chapters in Rumor Has It. They seem to be fast-paced easy reads, so I’m confident that I’ll finish them by tonight.

Next, I plan on reading The Impossibility of Us by Katy Upperman, Surviving Adam Meade by Shannon Klare and Just Friends by Dyan Sheldon. I’m participating on a blog tour for The Impossibility of Us and Surviving Adam Meade, and trying to catch up with my Netgalley TBR, so I’m hoping I like Just Friends.
