Stevie Colvin’s rules are simple.
Don’t bother to learn anyone’s names. (Why bother if they won’t be around tomorrow?)
Keep things light and fun.
Be an equal opportunist to all sexes.
And no one becomes long term. No relationships and none of those pesky things like feelings can enter. Especially with a sexy supercross rider, who is as much a player as she is.
From the moment she met Christopher Singer, he seemed to get under her skin like no one else could and made her feel things she hadn’t in a long time. Something she will not allow. Only one person has gotten past Stevie’s layers. But even Jaymerson doesn’t know the full truth about the darkness and demons which haunt Stevie’s past…the ones she has pushed far down. She wants to ignore every detail of the devastating loss and horrifying night that almost took her life.
When an incident brings Stevie and Chris back together in the same town, their past and present crash into a struggle of grief and horrendous tragedy.
Stevie needs to decide: handle the pain and break every rule she has, which might shatter her for good or choose to protect herself and run from it all…

If you thought that Jaymerson's story wrecked you and knocked you to the ground, then prepare yourself to be obliterated and buried in rubble. Stevie's story will pull your heart from your chest and leave you in an emotional stupor.
I love that this book picks up where the second book of the series left off but from Stevie's POV instead of Jaymerson's. I had honestly expected the story to backtrack to parts of the series we had already experienced through Jaymerson's eyes. We do get to see some past events through Stevie's flashbacks, which I preferred. I would be lying if I said that I wasn't thrilled to get more of Jaymerson and Hunter and their friends. I would totally support more stories about this group of friends. I would love books dedicated to Jones/Megan, Doug, and Krista/Jason. These characters really grow in your heart and will leave you wanting more of them.
Stevie's character growth in this book was amazing. Her journey is powerful, heart-rending, and by the end of the story very uplifting. She has experienced horrors and heartache in her past and her personality was shaped by these events. She is running from her demons and it is starting to affect her life like she never thought it could. It forces her to accept her feelings and stop running from things she has no control over. Realizing and accepting that she is in love with Chris and that he feels the same for her is a jumping-off point for her to start healing from her past and open back up. Chris's journey was also heartbreaking. He also experienced horrors and pain in his past and when this book starts out he is dealing with some of that all on his own. A chance meeting with Stevie brings them back together and they both start coming to terms with some of the heavy stuff.
I loved the friendships that are shown in the book. The meaning of true friendship is shown through many of the characters. We also get to meet Stevie's New York friends and see how she comes to realize their importance to her and she uncovers the layers of her past and opens up. Friendship is a common theme through this book and I loved exploring it through each of the characters.
I loved the romance in this book. First of all, seeing Hunter and Jayme in a happy place was incredible. I would give almost anything to read a story about them five years down the road. Seeing them and their friend group starting families and their lives falling into place would be the best. I loved the chemistry between Stevie and Chris. It is said in the book that they have both met their match in the other, and it's so true! They are so alike and they deal with their issues in much the same manner as the other. They are perfect for each other and it definitely shows in the writing. I was thrilled with their ending in this book. My heart soared.
The plot in this part of the series is less intense than the previous books but no less impactful. Things mostly take place in a short span of a few weeks, but this is plenty of time to tell Stevie and Chris's story. Things fall into place really well and the story never feels rushed or lacking. I love that the author can express so much and show so much in such a short amount of time for the characters.
Overall, I couldn't be more impressed with Stevie's story! I had such high expectations and I was not disappointed at all. I am wishing on every star that Stacey Marie Brown chooses to write more books in this series. I am besotted with these characters and I can't get enough of them! I would cherish more books from other character POVs and even books set in the future with these characters. If you are searching for a meaningful, well written, expertly plotted, and altogether incredible series then you should pick this one up! I can't give this series enough praise!
