Every day is like a ticking time bomb.
For every blissful moment in the sun, the universe punishes me with unforgiving darkness.
I’m so close to the truth yet the obstacles keep piling up, the deaths keep destroying us and I’m afraid one of us will eventually succumb to this cruelty.
The secrets, the lies, the deceptions are all part of my husband’s world, but the moment I chose to walk beside him, they became part of my world too. If only he would let me all the way in.
I want my forever one to be my best friend, my confidant in all things, but there is a missing puzzle piece I’m determined to find.
I just hope I can handle it when the time comes.

I binge read this set because it is SO.Effin.Addictive! There are no words that could really convey the masterpiece that is this book. Seriously. The breadcrumbs are piling up, the mystery is getting more mysterious, the steam scenes are getting even spicier, and usually by book 5 I’ve got things figured out and skip the steam because it feels like a recycled loop (no offense) but not this book and not this series!! Not only did I not have everything figured out, not even a guess, but the authors somehow figured out the secret to keeping the steam scenes hot spicy and fresh even 5 books deep, which is incredibly impressive. I love the dynamic between Marco and River. If you like strong FMCs, hot steam, alphahole, triggers, bread crumbs through a series, your love stories with spice, a little darkness, and a whole lot of naughty, or just want to disappear into a well written world that will pull you under - this is the book for you!

4.0 out of 5 stars I need answers
Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2023
I'm so glad this is the last cliff hanger in this series... I don't think I can take too many more.
Again, this is why I wait for a series to be finished before I start it!

It took 5 books to finally feel the connection between Marco and River, and now the series is nearly over! I mean, there was sexual tension, but you finally feel an emotional connection.
We still don't have any answers to our many questions, and in fact have even more questions added to the list. I don't even know how that's possible to be honest.

I see the potential for a spin off series with Lina as the FMC.

On to the last book, fingers crossed we get all the answers!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely brilliant!
Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2022

So, apparently we’ve issued a challenge after each book for these two brilliantly evil authors to see how close to the edge they can take us and this time I absolutely came closer than before. Thank everything there’s only 1 book left so our anxiety levels can calm down a bit.
River is a drastically different person than when we met her initially and it’s absolutely beautiful to see, so much is different but one of the things that is the same is her loyalty and love are non-negotiable and she’ll do anything and everything to ensure those she loves are taken care of and safe. Marco is keeping secrets still, and although River is aware she’s reaching her limit to how long she will wait for answers even if she understands it’s because he loves her completely and isn’t doing it maliciously.
I continue to fully support & cheer for River & Marco’s marriage/relationship (even the messed up pieces). I adore the depth of love Marco has for River & seeing him so out of his element at times just to be with her & bond with her family is everything!
I’m ticked at & suspicious of a few previous characters (for different reasons) and absolutely have only found 1 new character that I think I like from everyone introduced this book.
There were absolutely some heartbreaks this time and that ending and cliffhanger (basically the entire last chapter) literally made my breath catch for multiple reasons. I can’t wait for The Forever One to see what happens next!

I have immersed myself in this series the last.... two days? Three, maybe? I'm not sure, I just know that all life has ceased to exist around me since I started book 1. There is only one more book to go. I am sad to see it coming to an end. This will forever be a favorite of mine. River is a queen, and I truly believe Marco is the only person on earth who could handle her. They were meant for each other. Now that the war has started we can only hope they both make it out alive.

River is a fierce FMC, she’s had some serious challenges in her life and things don’t seem to be slowing down. Marco is a possessive alpha, but it definitely leads to some amazing 𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗘 between them. River and Marco could not be more perfect for each other. But it seems like fate has other plans and decides to put them through the wringer. Things from their pasts come back to haunt them and while some truths are exposed, we are still left with questions.

I do believe the sadistic duo, also known as 𝑁.𝑂. 𝑂𝑛𝑒, have outdone themselves with this book! And to top it off, they left us with an intense cliffhanger. I can not wait for the next book and the answers we will get. Definitely recommend this series!

2.0 out of 5 stars Filler book
Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2023

River has suspected Marco is keeping a huge secret from her for two books, and pointe blank calls him out on several time in this one. He continues to gaslight her until someone else gets frustrated and spills the beans. It’s been literal months at this point, and it’s clear the author is dragging the series on to fill it with meaningless sex scenes. I am especially disappointed that it took two whole books to reveal a dumb plot twist of “I didn’t randomly choose to marry you, your parents didn’t die in an accident, and you’re secretly mafia royalty.” Marco is kidnapped by the opposition just as River goes to confront him, and she instantly decides his huge lie is irrelevant. She’s now on a mission to retrieve her lying, manipulative, crap husband, having seemingly forgiven him in an instant without even getting all of the answers.

I skimmed though most of this book. The next one will most likely heavily center on getting her husband back with a few chapters of fake outrage afterwards. Le sigh.

I mean we all know River is gonna kick some butt for Marco and Enzo but Bruce??? She will kill for Bruce.

Marco and River's relationship is finally growing and becoming so much more than the agreement they started with. They have even connected with each other's families in profound ways. Marco loses someone so close to him which brings River into the fold even more. But in the end, his inability to confront and admit his secrets have put not just himself but his entire family in a very bad position. But, if anyone can bring things to right it is the bad ass bitch River.

Can't wait for the next book!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars River and Marco have me hooked!

Holy moly, mama Mia!! When will enough be enough? My poor heart is beating out of my chest. This one had me holding on to my e-reader with a white-knuckled grip, flipping pages as fast as I could, holding my breath for about half the book. Action packed and full of sizzling interactions between River and Marco. These two certainly aren't tame. He's feral as can be, and his growl starts her purring. The progression of their relationship is off the charts and makes me wish Marco was Mine. River might have something to say about it, so I'll let her have him. Now, I'm off to read the last book. I'm hooked on this series and have devoured all six books in a week. I need the conclusion that comes in The Forever One like I need my next breath.

Reviewed in Canada on December 13, 2022

Somehow this duo makes each book of this series better than the last. To be honest, this does not feel like five books and it does not feel stretched at all. The story is occurring at an appropriate pace and I know the next book will finally give us that satisfying HEA.

There is just enough tension and heat in the book and the answers to the mystery are right there. However, the answers to that cliffhanger better not break my heart. I’m going to try trust the process.

I’ve praised them before and I will do it again, I cannot wait to see what this duo has in store. I absolutely love their storytelling and will continue to follow their journey.

Wow I couldn't put this book down. Each books story line just gets better and better. Cliffhanger left with this one and I can't wait to read book 6. What do they say about a women with vengeance epic explosion and can't wait to read what happens next. River is the strongest FMC I've read. These books have funny parts in them too.
