It's not easy at times but they forever Feel, Trust, and Believe. I felt it, I believed it, and Grip and Bristol totally demonstrated...... There are so many important lessons to be learnt in this novel and the author must be given high praise for writing and successfully portraying these hot-topic social issues.

Publication Order of Grip Books

Grip, is a good friend of Bristols brother, Rhyson. he happens to be the one to meet her up at the airport, a meeting that will change the life of them forever.. he didn't expect to see her, he didn't expect to have feelings for her, not the little sister of his best friend. Grip has dreams, he is an aspiring rapper artist. He likes to recite poetry, poetry that will keep Bristol and all of us swooning. I loved how this author broke down the different dynamics of Bristol and Grip's past and formed it into something worth waiting for. It was built up into something so monumental. The struggles that they have as colleagues, friends, then lovers is something that we don't see much in romance books. How this author interweaves points on racism and class wars into such a beautiful love story is brilliant. In my review of GRIP I said I couldn't possibly love Grip(Marlon) more.. I was proven wrong. My heart grew to make room for MORE love for Grip and Bristol. I love them both #relationshipgoals We splinter into a thousand pieces..., becoming more together than we were apart. More than we were alone. With whispered promises and words of love, we exchange hearts. Still is an endearing love story of two people, who know what unconditional love is. That no matter what life throws at them they'll face it together.

I reread this on Kindle as a complete box set with all the books and some extras short stories that can be seen as extended epilogues. I recommend it you will get some extra goodness for Bristol & Grip!! When things are out of control, he’s always my peace, always my sigh of relief. He’s the reminder that comes what may, there’s us, and we aren’t going anywhere—ever." In flow, we can see the beginning of the story of Grip and Bristol.. their dreams and hopes ... the journey of their friendship and love. you can see and understand the chemistry between them. With Flow, a short prequel, I got not just a hint but a pretty damn good look into how they first met and how deep their relationship goes. Especially on a personal level. Their interactions were phenomenal and I loved how comfortable they were around each other. They reveled in each other's company and their conversations flowed effortlessly, layered with so much intensity. I couldn't remove my eyes from the intoxicating prose and words of Kennedy Ryan. Grip and Bristol were amazing and turned out to be very complex and multi layered characters. I loved the range and depth of their conversations which were a great mixture of race and culture. Also their own views and opinions of today's and the 90's society played a huge part of this story and I appreciate that Ryan chose to go that route with Grip and Bristol. My impression and love for both of them only expanded and I got so much more excited as the story progressed.Phenomenal characters! This story has touched all my feelings and the deepest part of my heart and mind. The development of Marlon and Bristol's relationship was fascinating. I was not only enamored but was also given food for thought. The real life struggles they endured as a couple and also as individuals was empowering. I feel like a better person after reading this. How do I start this review and do justice to this incredible book. This was my first book from Kennedy Ryan and definitely wont be my last. It's a real romance with actual and still present issues. It presents the struggles of interracial couples, the divide by the color of skin and social class. The writing is literally "POETRY" and I hope it will evoke in you all the amount of incredible feelings that took and twisted my heart. Grip has all that you as a contemporary romance reader would love in a book. You will not want to put this book down and it will takes you months to get over the hangover. Life lessons will be impart and stay with you to help you be a better person. It would make your heart pound in crescendo, your hands sweat, your nails may be non-existent, your undies will definitely get soaked and even your kindle may suffer from a trow to the wall jajajaj.
