Publisher Description
My childhood best friend is a big, bad biker—and an animal in the bedroom.
I should know because we’ve been hooking up in secret for weeks.
We crossed a line we swore we’d never cross, but the lust we’d buried for years finally culminated in a night of heated passion.
I know the taste of Duke’s lips, but this is more than just desire. When we’re together I see the promise of forever in his eyes.
Duke is the only man who makes me feel safe enough to be vulnerable, but I’m terrified I’m going to screw it up and lose it all.
He won’t stop until he has every piece of me, including my heart. He wants me on the back of his bike, my name inked on his skin.
He wants me to be his Old Lady.
He wants me pregnant.
Customer Reviews
I loved it, but…
4.5/5
Friends to lovers is not my favorite trope. It generally feels cheesy, forced, and weird. But set against Waco and Emma Slate’s Blue Angels MC, it’s bearable.
I loved the sisterly dynamics between Willa and Waverly. That was probably my favorite relationship of the whole book. Don’t get me wrong, I love Duke and I liked his and Willa’s relationship despite my dislike for the trope, but the sisterly bond between Waverly and Willa was special and made the book for me.
I love the Blue Angels world and I’m just gonna come out and say it - I love it more than the Sins world (glad that’s finally off my desk). I love Emma’s writing. But the ending twist came out of nowhere. And it threw me. I knew something was coming because what story/book is just relationship angst? I didn’t care for it and thought it came out of left field and therefore didn’t make sense. Then I sat with it for a few and realized something. That’s how it happens in the real world. There generally isn’t any foreshadowing to it, it just happens randomly. So I see it now for the brilliance that it was.
Normally Emma’s books are automatic five stars, but even though I loved the book, friends to lovers just isn’t my cup of tea. Her writing is impeccable as always and the steamy scenes were definitely steamy, but this trope just isn’t for me
Another great spicy read
Great storyline and spicy!
Friends to lovers is so hard for me
As for favorites was everyone’s reaction to their relationship especially savages. I finally think I figured out why I struggle with the friends to lovers is because the spice takes forever they obviously don’t banter like enemies to lovers they are just nice and don’t share their true feelings but I’m telling you this one is different hit 8% and bam they are 💥 I’m front of each other 🔥 but my favorite thing was that he was willing to wait for her even put her feelings in a box when she wasn’t ready also kept quiet about them until she was ready… but he loved her all those years especially thru their rough upbringing. So so good I just can’t wait until the next one I have so many questions and speculations. I will have a solid book hangover after this one.
