PLEASE LET THIS MOMENT THAT I SHARE BE THE REASON YOU PICK UP THIS SERIES!!!

”i don’t even know who i am.��
a hand fisted in her wet hair and pulled her head back firmly, another wrapping around her throat, demanding her attention.
morana closed her eyes.
”look at me,�� he ordered, squeezing her neck once.
the grip tightened, and she opened her eyes, staring at his throat.
”eyes,�� the demand found its way through the fog.
slowly, morana looked at him. she found those beautiful, magnificent blue eyes looking at her with anything but hate.
”you are exactly where you’re supposed to be,�� he told her, his voice leaving no room for doubts. “i know exactly who you are.��
”who am i?��
”m���Ա�.��
morana felt her chin quiver, her eyes burning.
”you are morana. my morana. you’re the woman i killed for and you’re the woman i’d die for. you are mine and you are exactly where you’re supposed to be. don’t ever question that again, do you understand?��
”don’t hate me again.��
his hand flexed on her throat. “do you know why i enjoy holding you like this?��
she shook her head.
”i can feel your life under my hand,�� he stated, his eyes burning on hers, his fingers locking her life to him. ”your body, your life, your heart �� they’re all mine now. trust me to keep all of them safe.��

tristanmorana is the most chase atlantic coded couple ever. it’s like they wrote these songs just for them😩butterflies explode in my stomach every time i listen to one of their songs…tristanmorana have that same effect on me.

�� 𝓅𝓁𝑜𝓉:
since this book picks up right where book one ends, i won’t go into too much detail. i feel that it’s very rare to find a book that has such an amazing plot and a romance that makes your heart race a mile a minute. the plot keeps building and building and then delivers such a great plot twist at the end. the twists and turns aaaaa it just kept me fully engaged in the story. i also love it when things start connecting and you find out reasonings behind certain things that happened. it’s like you think something happened because of one thing, but it turns out to be because of something entirely different and it was just really beautiful to see everything unfold.

�� 𝓂𝓎 𝓉𝒽𝑜𝓊𝑔𝒽𝓉𝓈:
i loved the first book so much and gave it five stars, but i loved this one so much more. i could read about tristan and morana forever tbh. i fell deeper in love with these characters and can’t wait to see little snippets of them in the upcoming books! there should be a lot of snippets because i know runyx won’t leave us hanging regarding a certain situation involving these two. i might actually cry and never stop. the next book is going to be so good guys i already KNOW😩the ending of this book set dante and amara’s story up so perfectly and i’m honestly terrified. i can’t wait to see the found family continue and i hope it grows into a bigger family.

�� 𝓌𝓇𝒾𝓉𝒾𝓃𝑔/𝓅𝒶𝒸𝒾𝓃𝑔:
i swear i read these books so fast. too fast. once i started, i couldn’t stop. if you plan on reading this series soon…definitely be ready to want to binge all these books back to back😩i feel like the chapters could be shorter, but as long as the book is good i don’t really mind how long the chapters are hehe i won’t even notice. there were still grammar mistakes, but it was way less compared to the first book. definitely would recommend this series to get you out of a slump because of how fast paced they are🤭

⁶��� ❝i’m not a victim. i’m vengeance.��

how can you not love and adore this woman!? i love everything she is and everything she stands for. she’s such a smart girl and there’s nothing i love more than reading about a fmc who actually uses her brain in every situation she’s put in. i love how we see her walls come down in this book. she’s such a strong woman who hasn’t had the best hand dealt to her growing up so to see her find people she trusted enough to open up to and let herself be human by feeling/showing all of the negative emotions she’s been bottling up inside her for years was so heartbreakingly beautiful.

⁶��� had he ever let go in his life? had he ever simply been told it was okay to not be okay? ever felt the gentle touch of a loved one in all these years?

when he’s one of the most feared men in the mafia, but is soft for his woman>>>>
when men cry>>>>
╰➤ male vulnerability is so sexy.
when he’s covered in scars and tattoos>>>>
when he’s misunderstood>>>>
when he has DIMPLES, but only lets her see them>>>>
when he’s just…tristan caine>>>>
my heart shattered for him and i’ve yet to pick up all the pieces. he has every reason to turn into a real villain, but he just doesn’t. he’s a dangerous man when he needs to be. i love him so much and i hope he finds closure in one of the upcoming books. he’s gone through so much and deserves all the good in the world<3

she felt one of his hands slide around her neck. his palm pressed against her pulse, fingers spanning her neck, his skin touch against hers - it all anchored her to the moment, to that bed, to him. he tugged her closer, almost until their noses were touching while their bodies remained slightly apart.
and then, for the first time that night, she heard him speak.
”never again,�� he whispered, his voice rough with an edge of the wildness she’d seen in his eyes.
”they will die a thousand deaths,�� he murmured, almost gently as his thumb traced the line of her jaw, “before they ever touch a single hair on your head again.��
and then, with that deathly vow still echoing in her heart, he pressed his lips to her fluttering pulse.
”i promise,�� his lips warm against her skin.
╰┈➤call me regina george and push me in front of a fucking bus because i simply can’t handle this😀him kissing her pulse on her neck?! knowing his reasoning behind why he loves holding her by her neck?! let ME die a thousand deaths by his hands and i’ll go out happily.

they complement each other so well it’s insane. they simply cannot exist without each other…could y’all imagine😭seeing their relationship grow and blossom was beautiful. their love for each other is like a warm hug and i wanna be embraced in it forever 🥺i love how alive they make each other feel. they’re two completely lost souls who found and made each other whole. i could go on and on about these two, but you all just need to meet them and experience everything i’ve experienced while reading about them🤭

in the arms of the most dangerous man she knew, she felt the safest she had ever been.

�� dante maroni:
dante being the brother that morana never had is everything. their relationship with each other is soooo precious. i love dante so much like idk if i could love him any more than i do rn…that’s how much i love this man. i am desperate for his book.

�� amara rossi:
MY SWEET, SWEET GIRL. guys this woman might be one of the sweetest fmc’s i’ve ever read about. the way she cares so much about both tristan and morana🥺she trusted morana enough to share things with her even if it meant she had to betray people in order to do what is ultimately best for them. she’s so precious.

�� danteamara:
i NEED to know what’s going on with these two. every time they were in a room with tristan and morana it was giving TENSION. the end of this book left me with so many questions about these two and i’m dying to dive into their story. i just know it’s gonna hurt tho😔

�� vin:
i’m pretty sure this man doesn’t have a book, but i feel like he will pop up more in the next one and i hope he does because i’m very curious about him. i like him because he looked out for morana, but there’s something more about him that i need to know.

slowly, eventually, she came back to herself.
slowly, eventually, she became aware of everything.
became aware of him.
restraining her.
tethering her.
surrounding her.
fingers flexed on her neck.
the awareness of that large, rough hand wrapped around her throat dawned upon her.
for the first time, even though she’d seen him crush people with that hand at the same spot, as she looked up into those ardent eyes, she didn’t feel threatened.
she felt protected.
safe.
untouchable.
as she tried to make sense of the past few minutes and catch her breath, his hand started to withdraw from her throat.
��մ�.��
he stilled, his eyes flaring with something primal, and her heart started to pound, her chest heaving against his, their gazes locked.
without a word, he firmed his grip.
something inside her calmed.
