*******4.5 Stars*******I received an ARC in exchange for honest review*I have been so looking forward to reading this book, I absolutely love Inky the first book in the series, and as it had ended on such a big cliffhanger I was desperate to know what was next in store for Anika `Inky' Redding and Cole Carlyle. I so wanted them to have their happily ever after that they so rightly deserved"The days of hiding were long gone the minute I opened my heart to Cole" ~Inky"But now I had her. I had the antidote to sadness. She would bring light to every dark corner of my previous life" ~ ColeI have a special place in my heart for Inky and Cole. I loved theses characters Inky is such a strong person with a great heart. Cole is just wonderful he will do anything to make Inky happy everything he says is from his heart. I just love him."I was nothing before you, not even half a man, you made me whole again Anika. I will spend the rest of my like making sure I never make you regret it."- Cole"I love you so much Cole I will never doubt you with my heart, ever" ~ InkyThese two share a love that everyone would want. Without doubt, these two are soul mates; they have such a strong connection. Inky and Cole are everything to each. I love the relationship that they had it was full of love, honesty; it was hot, passionate, intense, emotional, fun and sweet. I can't help but be slightly jealous.The world could be falling down around us, but together we would be impenetrable. He is the other half of my heart, the other half of my soul......without him, I'm incomplete" ~ InkyI loved the storyline it picks up where Inky ended, and during the first few chapters, my nerves were all over the place as there was drama and suspense, and I was so caught up in it that couldn't swipe the pages fast enough."Yes. No matter what happens. That's my answer if something goes wrong. I love you, forever baby. Forever". InkyBut like with Inky I'm not going to tell you any more about what happens in the story as I really want you to go and read it for yourself as its such a beautiful read that is about trust, pain, new beginnings, healing and closure. Like book one, it doesn't disappoint on the heartache, drama, angst, romance, humor, and plenty of hot steamy sex."Your Kiss, the kisses you give me...they are far and above that best kisses I have ever had in my life. Nothing has ever come closes. You can almost bring me to orgasm just from your kiss." ~ InkyIt wasn't all heavy, so many parts made me laugh out loud. The scene with Cole's parents was very funny. I liked that with all Inky, and Cole have gone through they still have a great sense humor and banter together.What stands out about this book and the last one is how draw you in from the very first page, once I started reading it I couldn't put it down it was an amazing story. I love how it was told from both POV, but Cole's really did stand out for me, you really got a deeper insight into what he is thinking, his feelings but most of all his love for Inky. It's such an emotional read at times that again pulled at my heartstrings."This was our fate. Her ugliness and mine made us fit". Cole"My beautiful girl...my Anika...my lover...my best friend....my heart" ~ ColeI loved the secondary characters Amies, Gus, Nico, Olaf Cole's mum Trish was lovely, and I loved that we got to see a different side of Cole's dad Richard, and by the end I liked him. There were a few new characters that really added to the story and that I would like to know more about such as David.I liked the ending, but it was bittersweet as there wasn't a cliffhanger which was good, but I was a little disappointed that there was no epilogue, (I love my epilogues) I really want one as I felt that will all Inky and Cole had been through they need one they deserved it. I could see why there wasn't one as I have a feeling J.B Hartnett is writing Nico's story, I'm so hoping that Inky and Cole's journey without any major dramas will continue in the next books in the series.Like Inky I loved reading Cole, both heart warming and heart wrenching. Two books that have given me a serious book hanger over, and ones that I not going to forget in a very long time. I'm so looking forward to reading more of J.B Hartnett books I love her writing style, and the emotional rollercoaster that she takes me on.I can't stress enough that you go, and one click this book, and if you haven't read Inky then you must one click that also. I highly recommend both books, as you won't be disappointed.
