There were so many romantic moments from Dean that I wasn’t expecting because of how douche-y he was able to be in VICIOUS, DEFY and early on in this book. Then I was worried that the plot was going to be Dean not taking Rosie’s cystic fibrosis serious enough, and was glad that that wasn’t the case either. I am so glad I was wrong, and that this wasn’t the case.

That the whole story would be Dean pushing for it, and Rosie refusing for the sake of her sisters feelings. I was so worried when reading this that Rosie’s anxieties over Dean being her sisters ex boyfriend from high school were going to rule this book. I’m going to do my best to keep you whole.” Unbreakable is fascinating, but not lovable. And now that I know that you are damaged, I love you even more. “I love you so much that I hated you for a while. That throwing half-slurred sexual comments at Rosie won’t win her over, won’t make her want to stay. That the women he picks up in bars aren’t enough. That having his millionaire company and seventy two hour working weeks aren’t enough. Dean is messy and arrogant, but there’s something about him that keeps whispering that he’s lost. My mind’s completely whirling with thoughts and feelings about why this was so good, and what I need to write down to completely convey that. I’m really struggling to write this because there truly are so many reasons for why I loved it. So fucking bright sometimes you’re the only thing I see.” It twinkles so bright, sometimes people mistake it for a UFO. There is only one star that sparkles that scientists can agree on. “Contrary to general belief, stars don’t twinkle. You couldn’t ignore it in VICIOUS when you see Emilia date Dean, and feel that it wasn’t there for them, even have Vicious himself hints at it.


With Rosie LeBlanc and Dean ‘Ruckus’ Cole, you knew they were destiny. It wasn’t seventy percent anticipation and the chase, to have them finally come together, fall apart, and reunite before an epilogue. I loved that RUCKUS didn’t follow the plot rhythms that L. And luckily, we got to see more of it, and its origin too. It always felt as though we as the reader were intruding on something that we shouldn’t see, it was too intimate to exist anywhere but between Rosie and Dean. So much love was felt between them, that it pulsed like a living being in the room and for an author to be able to create that moment for them in another couples love story, it’s beautiful. Just reading their scenes in BK gives me a tight throat and teary eyes. Finally! After reading BROKEN KNIGHT, I was desperate to know what Rosie and Dean’s story would be, because through what we got to see of them, they were undeniable and deeply in love.
