“Why? I’m a beast, bitch. Don’t worry, I’ll leave enough of you for the police to get DNA. And when I’m done, I’m going home to Deena—something you’ve never been able to do.”
Dria!! I mean what an amazing series. I don’t think I’ve ever read the books to a series back to back completing them so quick. The writing is gooooood. The character’s development, backstories, communication, spice, family, friendship and more. She pulls emotions off the pages right into her readers.
Julian and Deena’s story is my favorite in how they were led to their mating. I enjoyed them actually going on dates and Julian letting Deena tell him when she was ready. Getting to know Deena more in her own story was pleasant and heartbreaking. Reading the little but major things she would do in her own home is very telling of her childhood. Deena is a strong independent woman and her trusting people fully is not going to be easy. So I’m happy Julian didn’t rush things. A lot of us ladies need peace, trust and a soft place to land. Hell some of you men want the same thing.
Julian is a funny and loyal person. That man played no games about protecting his. Every guy in this series has that thang about them. I still love my Rocco so don’t get it twisted 😂. I really liked Julian’s family and how they embraced Deena right away. Having good family around can make a difference in your life. Honey, Sr is a mess in the absolute best way.
Lastly, the friendship bond between these four guys is outstanding. The end had me like “Hell Yea. Get their ass.” I was singing Down For My N***** by C-Murder because that’s the vibe they gave.
Highlights:
-“I understand your need to be independent, but i need you to understand that i won’t allow anything to happen to you. Even if i have to fight you to protect you.”
-“That’s just it, shortcake. You’re no longer on your own. The faster you understand, the easier this all gets.”
-“You plan on leaving your mate to play with women not smart enough to understand their position.”
-“Mama, my lion finna knock all this shit over if you don’t take another step back from this male.”
