HOT DAMN! Talk about chemistry.

I’m such a sucker for a second chance romance where both characters have clearly spent years trying and failing to move on.
The whole “it’s always been you” theme came through so strongly with Violet and Carter. Even after all that time apart, it never felt like their feelings had disappeared. They had just been buried underneath years of hurt, anger and things that had been left unsaid.

Carter had the confidence and presence you would expect from a rock star, but underneath all of that, he was still just a hurt and anxious guy, with so much emotional trauma and baggage that he had never dealt with. His persona with his fans, and even his band mates was so different to what he had with Violet, and what he chose to let her see.

Violet was strong, independent and emotionally closed off to protect herself. She didn’t just forgive Carter, she made him face the pain he had caused, while also having to work through her own fears about trusting him again. I also loved that she owned her own part in it, and that what she had done, was not ok.

Their chemistry was still very much alive, and once they finally gave in to it, things only got hotter from there. Jade writes fantastic spice and she definitely did not hold back on it this book. There was still plenty of emotion behind their physical connection. It wasn’t only about wanting each other, it was about finally getting back the person they had never really stopped loving.

Lastly, seeing there characters from the other book was fantastic and I love when they have their group scenes! I did have my fingers crossed there was another yacht scene, but the beach and plane will do ;)

Unleashed by Eden was emotional, spicy and full of years of unresolved tension. Violet and Carter had a lot to work through, but their story really did feel like two people finally finding their way back to where they had always belonged. With each other.

An incredible conclusion to an amazing series.

💜His approval isn’t something I need—that victory was mine—but the way he’s looking at me now … I soak in every second of it.

💜Plus, I’ve got my Swiss Army knife in my boot, and I’m not afraid to cut a bitch if need be. I might not win, but I’d definitely leave a mark.

Thank you Jade and Penguin for my physical AND eARC!
