First Impressions...I love this series! Loved True and Sweet and couldn't wait to read Believe.The Characters...Robin changes a lot in this story. She blacks out while drinking and wakes up in bed with her best friends boyfriend. Totally devastated that she could do something like that, she stops drinking, partying and dressing for attention. Her guilt and emotions are turned into her art and Phoenix. I loved seeing her grow from the mistake. She could have ignored it and kept going but she took pause and handled her pain in a grown up way. I was very impressed with her.I adore Phoenix. He's not a fan of his name but I am. I love different names and he certainly rises from the ashes as his namesake. Both of these characters are named after birds and it's interesting how that plays into their relationship. I love that they have both made mistakes but give each other space about it. I love how Phoenix tries to not be hurt by his mom or Robin but he really does have a bleeding heart. He's sexy, fierce, determined and happy. I like that he can find that happiness even though most people would fail to see it in his circumstances.The Story...Together these two are magical. Never did I feel like they were at risk. The story was never about losing each other but healing each other. Adorable - these two are just adorable.This idea of them them being so right for each other really drives this story. Their relationship happens quickly but easily...comfortably. They are hot together. They belong to each other. Even when things are rough..and they do get rough...they still belong to each other. Mine. That's how they think of each other even when they are upset with each other. I liked that.Could I Put It Down...I didn't want to. This story came while I was dealing with the lose of my puppy. I didn't want to think about what could have happened to him so I got stuck in a book. This book took me to a world where I didn't think about anything but Phoenix and Robin.In The End...If you have read the first two, then this one must be next. This is my favorite of the series for sure. If you haven't met the bad boys of the True Believers series, you must. Tattoos, mistakes, sex, and love make this series so, so good. Anyone who enjoys New Adult needs to read this series.
