This author, whether a rising star or a seasoned veteran, has crafted the pages that whisk readers away on this series' journey. Not only is the hero not obsessed but the trope of “I pictured you when I was with them” grates on my nerves very much. he did everything so he could get her her revenge on her dad but did anyone ask her what she wanted?

No it’s revealed that he was playing the long game with her father to get her revenge because he wanted her back. To answer a question as vital as the number of coffee cups consumed while reading, there are exactly 8 books in the Shain Rose series. Jax is the sort of beautifully tortured soul you want to shake sometimes because he makes some dumbass decisions. I can’t remember a lot of this after but they start a relationship again but is rocky because she knows the MMC still talks with her father, which causes heap of angst.Remember how I mentioned Aubrey’s mom is Native American and never used that piece of information again? One of them was the MMC and I’m not clear on the details but they kinda realise things are not well at FMC’s home. This story is woven with extreme care to detail and these characters will dominate your life until you flip the last page. The FMC and MMC ends up being traumatised by the incident and starts up a relationship (might’ve been sexual). The H does not explain why he did what he did to the h till later and it seems he saw the h's face every time he was with other women all through the years (so.

Fast forward 6yrs, the H is a music star/ manwhore who is in a casual relationship with his PR manager (ow). Jay’s family takes Aubrey in and this is where the most beautiful relationship I’ve ever read starts between Jax and Aubrey.The MMC goes into the house and realises that the FMC father is abusive and has locked the FMC in her room. I felt like Aubrey’s internal dialogue was recycled too much and Jax kept saying the same thing over and over again – she was his, they were inevitable. You really feel like a part of this world, feel the pain of the characters and the bonds that have been made, and that is an absolute talent. I really wanted to love him as a character but personally some of the things he said gave me the ick and hurtful things he said, he never actually gave a heartfelt apology. Inevitable is the first story in the Stonewood Brothers series, and I definitely CANNOT wait for more!

Perhaps some of her personal preferences/background were explained a little late in the story, after I already had a picture of her in my mind that didn’t quite fit. She went through tragedy and he was her rock and instead of leaving without a word he should have just said he had to go. Disclaimer: I was provided an advance reader copy by the publisher in exchange for my unbiased review and opinions. Six years later, they have to find a way to make it work or move on from one another because neither had closure.

I didn’t enjoy the characters or setting as much and it’s perhaps because most of it is set in either high school or college era. Here, you'll discover not just the publication year, which is essential for understanding the context and evolution of the series, but also a succinct summary that teases the story without spoiling any surprises. Ultimately this book defines almost, I almost enjoyed it, I almost was invested, almost but not quite. I understood him leaving because he didn’t want to continue enabling her, but what exactly was he enabling?
