*****5 Unforgettable Family Justice Stars*****

When I sit down to read a book by Suzanne Halliday, there are many things I know that I am going to get within that book’s phenomenal pages. I know I will get a story that is well written, thoughtfully crafted, and that will sweep me up into its grasp from page one with Suzanne’s extraordinary writing magic. I know that I will get dynamic characters that are so wonderfully distinctive and easy to connect to. I also know that I won’t just be reading this story, I’ll be experiencing every word of it. I’ll feel everything these characters do, I will live through that book with them, and in the end I will close that book with the biggest smile on my face because of what I got to experience within its pages.

When I sat down to read Unchained, the fourth book in her Family Justice Saga, I knew that I would get all of that and more, and boy did this book blow me away with everything it had.

Unchained is a story full of family and friends, loyalty and connection, heat and passion, so many memorable moments that are so distinctive to these characters and their world, and more emotion and feels than you can shake a stick at. From the moment I started this book I could not put it down, and I could not stop experiencing every ounce of this book with these characters. Told through multiple points of view, Unchained gives you the fantastic opportunity to jump into the heads of everyone that makes up Family Justice, and I am telling you, you will not be disappointed one bit by what you get with all of them.

To say I have loved and enjoyed reading all of Suzanne Halliday’s books is putting it mildly. To say that I have loved the Justice Brothers is the understatement of the century because let me tell you, once those Justice Brothers, their fierce special lady friends, and their loyal and charming as all get out friends that make up the rest of the family get ahold of you, you will never want to say goodbye to them. Ever. Seriously, I don’t think I will ever get enough of them, their journeys together, and how special and memorable this family, these characters, and their respective intertwining stories are.

Over the course of this series I have gotten to meet and fall in love with each and every one of these characters and the people who fill in the Justice Family puzzle, and I have since become wholly invested in every way possible with all of them. I love these characters. I feel for them. I hope for them. I root for them with all I have. The more I get with them, the more I love them with every piece of my heart, and the more that I just bask in every second I get to spend with them.

Suzanne Halliday gives you the phenomenal opportunity to not only fall in love with these characters, she allows you to see them through so much. She allows you to see them at their highest and lowest. She lets you feel their struggles, and she lets you be there in their moments of glorious triumph. She puts you with them all, heart first, living and breathing and feeling it all, and that leads to an undeniable level of connection and investment to this world and its unforgettable characters.

I have to say that the level of investment I feel with these characters and this world is probably one of my favorite aspects of reading this series. It’s also what has made me love this series so immensely. From the start I have been with these characters through everything that came their way, and then as their stories continued in the Family Justice Series, I became even more whole heartedly invested in everything that they shared together. This series gives you the unique opportunity to not only fall in love with these characters and their respective stories, it also allows you to see how all of those extraordinary stories weave together to create a saga unlike any other.

I am telling you, you will love these characters, you will love how much fight and loyalty and love they have bursting from them, and you will love every single distinctive and unforgettable piece they add to the puzzle that is this story and this exceptional series.

The events of Unchained pick up a bit after we left the Justice Family gang in Sanctuary, and takes you from the desert to the city to everywhere in between with everyone in tow. In this book, everyone is back, and every couple in this series has some new things to face and figure out, along with some new characters and faces that you will love getting to know. Now I won’t tell you too much about this story because I wouldn’t want to ruin the true magic that it gives you with all of these characters, but what I will tell you is be prepared for some twists and turns, some seriously unforgettable moments, and tons more Justice Family wonderfulness that will have you wanting to live out in the desert with them all in no time flat.

This chapter in the Justice Family Saga brings about a lot of changes for almost every single character and person who makes up this fantastic family. You have new jobs, new places to live, new feelings, new relationships, and new questions all woven together seamlessly with the love stories between these characters that I have come to know and love. Suzanne Halliday does an exceptional job of balancing all of these storylines, bringing them together, and creating such a sense of family and connection and love through every page. And though it isn’t always easy for those in the Justice Family, and many of these characters face some trying times in this book and with each other and with their own journeys, it is all highly worth it to get everything you do with them in this book.

Unchained will allow you once again to jump right into the thick of it with Meghan and Alex, Cam and Lacey, Drae and Tori, Calder and Stephanie, Parker and Angelina, Brody and Heather, and will give you a wonderful dose of Finn and Remy too, and through it all you will feel like one of the gang.

I have to say that I loved getting to know those new faces, just as much as I loved being around the ones I’ve already come to know and love. Finn and Remy definitely have some fire to them, and there’s definitely something there between those two that bursts from the page every time they’re together. And while the two of them might not always get along, every moment with them is interesting, memorable, and full of that spark…and I honestly can’t wait to get more of them as their story continues.

Not to be outdone by the new kids on the block, all the rest of the gang of Family Justice will remind you over and over again why you love them all so much. You will fall back in love with their distinctive charm, how much they love and feel for one another, and just how far they are willing to go for those they love. Every moment you get with this family will pull at your heart in more ways than one, and I honestly can’t tell you enough how much I loved and felt this chapter of their story with all of them.

You will laugh and smile right along with these characters and the shenanigans that they get into. You will cry and have a heavy heart with them as they face what comes their way too. You will feel the absolute joy and love that they experience as new things come their way and as they continue to share moments full of love, laughter, and life with each other. You will jump for joy at times with them, and want to hug them harder at others, and through it all you will be with them as they show what family, love, and undying friendship are all about. (And just wait until you figure out how that cover connects into it all…cue heart melting.)

If you have loved this series and getting to know these characters, then I am telling you that you will love and enjoy every word of this book with them. Your love for these characters will deepen, your excitement for what’s to come will exponentially grow, and in the end you will realize how literally amazing this series, its characters, and their journeys within it, truly are.

Unchained was a phenomenal addition to the Family Justice Saga, and through it all I was reminded over and over again why I LOVE this series, its characters, and Suzanne Halliday’s writing so much. This series also continues to remind me again and again why I love series so much in the first place. The level of investment and connection you get with every single character in this series puts these books in a league of their own, and I truly can’t say enough how much I have loved reading every word of them. This book continued that love, and I have no doubt that any more books in this series will have that love growing even more.

If you love an extraordinary story full of love, family, and friendship, and the life changing, heart melting, and all-feeling things that can happen when you have all three, then you need this book and this series in your life. As I sit here writing this review, all I can think about is how much I love these characters with all that I have, and how much Suzanne Halliday has continued to give me unforgettable reading experiences with her amazing characters within this series, along with her other books. I can’t wait for where this series will take these characters, and I have no doubt that Suzanne Halliday will rock my world with whatever comes next for all of them!

Unchained is the whole package, and it is a book you will love. Trust me. There is no way you can read this book and experience what you do with these characters, and not love it, so get to reading it this very instant because the Justice Family is the best and they’re waiting for you.

*****5 Unforgettably Reggie & Nora Stars*****

When you’re a reader, there are many kinds of books you come across. There are some books you read. There are some books you whole heartedly enjoy every word of. There are some books you know you’ll never forget too. There are some books that make you laugh, or cry, or feel angry, or some combination of all three. There are some books that hurt you just as much as it hurts the characters in the story, and there are many books out there that put you back tsdogether again right along with its characters.

Then every once and awhile, you find a book that gives you all of that. All of that, and more. You find a book that you experience every word of. A book that literally takes ahold of you in every way possible, and doesn’t let you go. Ever. Books like that sweep you up within their literal amazingness, pull you in with everything they have, and let you live and feel and breathe the gamut of emotions and moments they have to offer with their characters. These are the books that affect you, that change you, and that give you a reading experience you didn’t even know you needed.

These are the books you truly never forget. The books that move you, that break you only to put you back together in a way you didn’t know was possible, and these are the books that give you it all.

They check every box, they give you everything and the kitchen sink, and in the end they give you a story that was worth feeling everything for, that was worth giving everything to, and that was so worth every lick of investment you gave it and its characters.

Books like that are what I love. Books like that are what I live for. Books like that are why I am a reader.

Knot by M. Mabie is a book like that. It’s a book like that and more. So much more.

It’s a book that you feel, a book that you breathe and take in every word of, and a book that you experience every single second of right along with its dynamic characters. This is a book that will have you within its pages, experiencing every moment of its phenomenal, viscerally emotional, and pulse racing story, as you invest yourself in every way possible in what it’s giving you.

If you think you’ve experienced angst, wait until you read Knot and want to equally throw your e-reader across the room, scream at the top of your lungs in adamant love and frustration, all while simultaneously wanting to hug the book closer to you, as if that will somehow get you closer to these characters and all their feels.

If you think you’ve experienced an undeniably heated and emotional connection between two characters, wait until you read this story and get your hands on Reggie and Nora and all that they will give you. Wait until they make you cry or laugh or melt or swoon or break into a million pieces, and then break those broken pieces of your heart even more. Just. You. Wait. You have never felt a book as much as you will with this one. Trust me on that one.

If you think you’ve experienced a love between two characters that’s worth fighting for, a love worth giving everything to, and a love worth investing everything in, wait until you read this book and are thrown right into the thick of it with these two. That love you get with them will make you and break you and pull at every emotion you didn’t even know you had, just as it does with Reggie and Nora, and through all of that you will be right there with them, in the thick of it, fighting and trying and giving it your all, in hopes that it might work out.

If you think you’ve read a book like this one, think again my friend, and just wait until you experience every wickedly sensual, heart wrenchingly emotional, and exceptionally written word of this book.

Told through the words of M. Mabie’s breathtaking and emotionally laced writing, Knot is a story of what happens when two people, who are seemingly opposite in so many ways, can’t help but be drawn back to one another. It’s a story of second chances and third chances and so many more chances, all of which you will feel in your bones while reading. It’s a story of what happens when two people share a connection so fierce, so alluring, and so life changing that they can’t seem to fight or stay away from it, no matter how much it hurts, and no matter how much they know they will never be the same after experiencing a connection like that.

Knot is a love story about two people who have just about broken each other’s hearts more times than they can count, but trust me they’re really counting, and how despite what they do to one another, they can’t help but be drawn back to each other and that fierce connection they share. This is a story about what happens when you meet the one person who changes everything, when you meet that one person who tilts your world’s axis, and who makes you see and feel and experience everything differently…and ultimately how that equally tears you apart as much as it puts you back together again.

This is a story of what happens before, during, and after a love and heartbreak so strong, so fierce, and so unforgettable that you’re changed permanently. This is a story of what that love and heartbreak can give you, what it can take away, and what it will ultimately leave you with. This is a story of two people, their love, their fight, and their undeniable connection that tears them apart a little more each day, yet at the same time, puts them back together again too.

This is their story. Reggie and Nora’s. How they push each other to places they never thought they’d be, how they break each other and themselves along the way, and how they handle everything that comes to them as they try to figure out what the hell to feel, to think, and to do with all that they share.

Their story is messy and complicated and full of the flaws that threaten every emotion they have, but it’s them. It’s them and it works so damn well because it’s so them. It’s intense, it’s all-feeling, and it’s raw and uneasy to say the least too. There will be so many moments while reading when you’ll need to take a deep breath and just sit there for a hot second because you’ll be that consumed by every feeling and emotion they’re experiencing and sharing. You’ll feel that lump of emotion in your throat for Nora and Reggie, and it will make you think and feel of little else besides them while you’re enraptured within their story. There will be moments when you’ll be tearing up so much and when you will feel your heart literally ache for these two because of all that they’re sharing, all that they’re giving to one another, and how they’re equally breaking as much as they’re coming together.

All of that is what makes this book so good. All of that is what makes this book so emotional and raw and real. All of that is what makes this book so unforgettable.

Knot is their story of love and hate, and every single emotion that comes in between. It is a story you feel every breath and word and emotion of, and let me tell you, even when it hurts, it hurts so damn good.

Their story isn’t easy, and it isn’t for the faint of heart, but it’s worth it. So damn worth it. And I am telling you, this is a book you need in your life. It will hurt you, it will make you, and it will give you it all if you let it, and that is just a fraction of what makes it so exceptional.

To say I was ready for this book is probably the understatement of the century. I have wanted and needed Reggie Warren’s story in my life since I met him in Bait almost two years ago. That is where I met and fell in love with him, and to say I loved that man something fierce it putting it too mildly. That is also when I got my first taste of Nora, and let me tell you, while I have never dipped my foot in the lady pond, I have a serious lady crush on that girl. Seriously.

Nora is the best. So is Reggie. I knew their story would be something I would never forget, but I don’t know if I was prepared for how much I would love their book, how much I would feel it, and how much I would end up living through it all with them.

I might not have been prepared for the level and the intensity of investment M. Mabie gave me with this story and with Reggie and Nora, but you can rest your pretty little head that I went oh so willingly into that investment. As Reggie and Nora fell, I fell just as hard with them. As they fought and gave it their all, I did too, pouring everything I had into those two and what they shared, just like they were. As this story progressed and evolved, and as Reggie and Nora went through every emotional up and down that came their way, I was with them feeling and experiencing it all too.

The level of investment I felt in their story and relationship, the strength of the connection I felt to them both through every page, through every moment of hurt and heart and honesty, and the extraordinary understanding I had with both of them through every turn of the page is all a true testament to M. Mabie’s thoughtful and exceptional crafting of this book, these characters, and their story together.

I could literally go on for paragraphs and paragraphs, and countless more words about how much I loved this book, how much I loved Reggie and Nora, and how much I felt and experienced with them along the way.

I could tell you all about Reggie, his dynamic intensity, his steadfast determination, and the sheer presence that man has.

I could tell you about Nora, her sharp wit, her big heart, and how much that girl feels when she really lets herself go there.

I could tell you about the pulsating connection these two share. How it grows and grows and then grows some more, and how every moment between them is equal parts emotional and visceral and passionate, while being uniquely romantic for them.

I could tell you about how far these two are willing to go for one another, how much they’re willing to do for each other, and what that shows them both and makes them feel along the way.

I could tell you all about their choices and sacrifices. I could tell you about their vulnerability and their honesty that will shake you to your core. I could tell you about their heartbreaks and struggles. I could tell you about their highest of highs and their lowest of lows.

I could tell you about every lick of emotion they will give you, and every bit of emotion they’ll experience for themselves too.

I could tell you about the oranges. I could tell you about the freesia.

I could tell you about their stubbornness and how much you will love them, and hate them, and love them some more for it and what that stubbornness brings them.

I could tell you more about their love, their fears, their doubts, and their hearts that you get to experience firsthand in Knot.

I could tell you it all. I could tell you everything.

But I won’t tell you everything, because that would take away from you experiencing the literal amazingness of what Reggie and Nora will give you within the pages of their unforgettable story.

I could use all the words I know how to use. I could find a way to use every positive adjective under the sun. I could even list every sentiment I could think of to describe what this book gave me. I could count down from a thousand with everything I loved about this book, and I would still need a thousand more numbers to truly encapsulate what I loved about Knot and what it gave me with Reggie and Nora.

I could do all of that and more, and I still wouldn’t even come close to capturing how unforgettable, how emotional and powerful and viscerally real this story is. I wouldn’t come close to capturing what Reggie and Nora share, and I wouldn’t come close to showing you what it’s like to experience their story.

Luckily though, you don’t need my words. You need M. Mabie’s. You need Reggie and Nora’s, and you need everything that they give you along the way in Knot. You need this book in your life. You need its emotions, you need its intensity, and you need its phenomenal words that will give you everything you didn’t even know you needed while it gives you Reggie and Nora.

Let M. Mabie, her phenomenal words, and Reggie and Nora, blow you away with everything they have. Let them make you feel and breathe and live every intense and all-feeling moment, and let the breathtakingly emotional knot of them pull you in oh so tightly to this phenomenal book and their unforgettable story.

It would be wrong not to read this book, and no one says no to Reggie. Ever. Or Nora for that matter. But especially Reggie…so just do yourself a favor and read this book as soon as humanly possible.

You will not regret it, and in the end you’ll get Reggie and Nora, all of their wonderful stubbornness and intensity and emotion, and it truly doesn’t get better than that.
