Rise (Liz & Luke)
She’s afraid to love again.
Liz has a secret. No, it’s not her cheating ex who won’t leave her alone (everyone knows about him). No, it’s not her crazy mother acting crazier (which everyone, especially her identical twin, knows about). Her secret is about Luke. No, it’s not the fact they’ve been sleeping together (though that is a secret, sort of). Her secret is that she might be in love with him. But, after everything she went through with her ex, she’s done with love.
He won’t give up on her.
Luke has other plans. He’s watched over Liz for years while she was with a man that didn’t deserve her. Now, he’ll prove to her that they do belong together, even while a woman from his own past reenters his life, challenging his and Liz’s love.
Can they find a way towards each other?
Between dueling exes, frustrating family, and the wedding of the year, can they find their way towards a future together? Come for one last visit to the seaside to find out…
*Includes multiple epilogues featuring characters from the series (and some Vallerian royals) in the future!
This novel features a woman recovering from an abusive relationship and a man moving past his divorce, a family made of friends that loves one another (even while they annoy each other), and a look behind fictional pub walls.
This is a standalone book in the series with no cliffhanger, and features sexy scenes and swearing. Emotional trigger abuse.

Rise...
Seaside Valleria book 5. The last book in this series. A beautiful read especially with all the epilogue at the end. This is Liz and Luke story. Liz we met in previous books and you want to hate her but you pity her at times. Luke, a total alpha but he has insecurities due to his past relationship. Liz is fresh out of an abusive relationship. Their journey to love is a bit crazy, a whole lot of drama and passionate. Another thing you get is family isn't always blood related but in fact is the good people around you that support and love you always. So sad the series is ending but what a way to end it.

I loved this book and the whole series! I was so sad for it to end. I'm so glad Marianne added the epilogues at the end to wrap everything up nicely.
