I received an ARC for this book in exchanged for an Honest review and guess what I loved it.I have always loved reading about love triangles because I love to torment myself with who is better for whom (right can you feel my sarcasm here lol) but truly come on the best stories and love stories are literally 3 sided.  However, as much as I love triangles the only thing that I don't  about triangles is that in the end someone always manages to get hurt.But as you can see what I love about the Evolve series is this that the author S.E.Hall had a vision and I agree with her that in the Emerge book we met our feisty, sassy kicka** Laney (love her so much) she is fierce loyal and loves hard whether it's her boyfriend or her best friends.  In Emerge we were given the back story of Laney and Evan best friends since childhood, where affection so close can grow into love, however, this is where it gets tricky for some is the love you develop love for eternity or comfortable love. The difference is simple eternity love is not able to breathe, sleep, fear of never having that one person in your system no longer vs. comfortable love a love that also you can breathe because they are all you know since before time, they know your secrets, but you can not see yourself without them cause everything you know you have done with said person.That is the story of Laney and Evan two friends best of friends actually, found first love with one another, but headed down two different separate roads, Laney found her forever love with Dane(love this guy cause he loves just as fiercely as Laney and if I'm honest like I always am Laney and Dane fit the puzzle piece perfectly). But enough about Laney and Dane back to Embrace.In Embrace we pick up where Emerge left off having our boy next door Evan see the "love of his life"(had to put the quotation marks there for a reason) in the arms of another after giving up everything for her.  Yes, its sorta of endearing here is a guy who gave up his full scholarship and his spot on his schools football team to go to the college that his love is attending.  My heart literally broke here for Evan because I will not say that he didn't love her because he did, and to give up everything and to gain nothing in return is heartbreaking.Enter my fav guy Sawyer(honesty again I so can not again CAN NOT for his story) who has an awesome heart and helps this dude that he knows nothing about but that he is Laney's friend and that he knows that Laney is hurting for him (again love Sawyer).Remember in Emerge we met Whitney (yes that Whitney who was trying her damnest to be Dane's new skin). Evan sweet Evan not knowing anything about her and who she is gives her the benefit of doubt as in to listen to others regarding who and what she is or following his own advice and decide for himself. And Evan went for the latter.  And with each other they found a kindred friendship.As I continued on with my reading I noticed like I did in Emerge that Evan wasn't meant for Laney. But in Embrace Evan found his forever love.  The one person that he knew was molded to be his perfect fit.As much as I would love to sit here and feed you all the goodies I will hold back because if you truly loved Emerge than this is a book you will definitely want to read with no spoilers and just love that Evan has grown and found his own "angelfish" (read it to understand it lol).What I love about Embrace is simple we have characters that we love, and how much they have grown in the last year and how much their relationships with one another have matured.I will continue throughout the Evolve series to mention how much I love LOVE LOVE Laney, she has moments in this book that I'm like hell yeah that's my girl lol, (flag football again read it and you will understand lol).But Embrace was all about Evan and his HEA and he finds himself healing and finding what was lost to him and getting and receiving the love that was meant for him.The angelfish found his hummingbird. :-)Key facts:I love this series I love and want more of Laney and Dane (actually I NEED AND WANT MORE OF THEM)I CAN NOT again CAN NOT wait for SAWYER's  book.I would love a Zach book.And again did I mentioned that WE want more Laney and Dane.
