Bristol and Marlon “Grip��. One epic history, making like poetry.

This story was like a writing lyrics on the paper, where the characters were constantly changing the verses but always having this strong refrain that would bring them together, where their souls would both join and tuned their heart into the same beat, as one, until the next verse.

The road for happiness was definitely far away. Very far. Two people in love. One complicated and frustrating story, so beautifully written. One week and a ferris wheel later years ago, was enough to fall in love.



Bristol, the fire under the ice, a tough and badass behavior but desperately searching for all her life to be wanted and loved by her family. Always the chaser. Sharp as a knife when it came to work, she was good at it and managing like no one else. She wasn’t letting anyone close to her heart, after witnessing her parents�� dysfunctional marriage, and her history with Marlon, she built a fortress around her and no one was willing to break the walls, until him.

Marlon, captured my heart. Literally. I’m love with a fictional character. His bluntness, compassion and way with words swept me away.  I was drawn into the flow of words, this incredible prose, from a man who fought in what he believed and protecting his family. Even with this new status, fame, women and all the things he could do, he remained the same. Knew where he belonged. Damn, a man after my own heart.

You can’t even imagine how deeply this book moved me. I was swept away, transported into their world. A world of poetry where the power of words will make you high. I liked a determined man and Grip was ready to make Bristol his.

Their connection they had?? I melt�� and it made my heart race.

He had to work for it and holy hot damn, when Grip was on a mission, all bets were off. Sensual, sinfully hot and steamy. I could feel deep inside that they belonged, that they were right for each other. I was rooting for them. Totally.

I liked to be challenged and Grip was not exception. There was a lot of angst, back and forth between them, moments when I felt like I was going crazy, but the moments when they let go happened, all you can do is to admire the beauty of two souls desperately in love. Transcendent, addictive and intoxicating!

Bristol and Grip took my breath away, after all these tension and frustration that drove me mad, their story was so much more than just a romance, with relevant topics that were rooted in reality (discrimination, racism, ...).
Some things made sense to me, resonating for some parts. I don't pretend that I've gone through issues like Bristol and Grip had to overcome, but to some extent I do understand.

Kennedy Ryan brought things to another level with that book. It was extraordinary. She made my heart sing!
