Description

My childhood best friend is a big, bad biker—and an animal in the bedroom. I should know because we’ve been hooking up in secret for weeks. We crossed a line we swore we’d never cross, but the lust we’d buried for years finally culminated in a night of heated passion. I know the taste of Duke’s lips, but this is more than just desire. When we’re together I see the promise of forever in his eyes. Duke is the only man who makes me feel safe enough to be vulnerable, but I’m terrified I’m going to screw it up and lose it all. He won’t stop until he has every piece of me, including my heart. He wants me on the back of his bike, my name inked on his skin. He wants me to be his Old Lady. He wants me pregnant.

  • Friends to lovers is so hard for me

    As for favorites was everyone’s reaction to their relationship especially savages. I finally think I figured out why I struggle with the friends to lovers is because the spice takes forever they obviously don’t banter like enemies to lovers they are just nice and don’t share their true feelings but I’m telling you this one is different hit 8% and bam they are 💥 I’m front of each other 🔥 but my favorite thing was that he was willing to wait for her even put her feelings in a box when she wasn’t ready also kept quiet about them until she was ready… but he loved her all those years especially thru their rough upbringing. So so good I just can’t wait until the next one I have so many questions and speculations. I will have a solid book hangover after this one.

    I seriously LOVED book 1 in this series. Then book 2 was a bit dark for me…it was just a lot harsher than book two, but I thought it was a fluke. I preordered this one and man it was disappointing. The main characters interact like 5 times the first 75% of the book. Waaaaay too much focus on supporting characters. It was really hard to finish. I kept skipping. I’m bummed. This series started out so strong.
  • So so good!

    As I was reading (which took me a little longer to get started) I wasn’t sure at first I would like Willa’s character I knew I liked duke but Willa was a surprise to me and I found I loved them together even more than I thought. They were so sweet together and I loved that her duke and savage has an awesome bond. for me Emma it’s another hit! ❤️ it!

    4.5/5 Friends to lovers is not my favorite trope. It generally feels cheesy, forced, and weird. But set against Waco and Emma Slate’s Blue Angels MC, it’s bearable. I loved the sisterly dynamics between Willa and Waverly. That was probably my favorite relationship of the whole book. Don’t get me wrong, I love Duke and I liked his and Willa’s relationship despite my dislike for the trope, but the sisterly bond between Waverly and Willa was special and made the book for me. I love the Blue Angels world and I’m just gonna come out and say it - I love it more than the Sins world (glad that’s finally off my desk). I love Emma’s writing. But the ending twist came out of nowhere. And it threw me. I knew something was coming because what story/book is just relationship angst? I didn’t care for it and thought it came out of left field and therefore didn’t make sense. Then I sat with it for a few and realized something. That’s how it happens in the real world. There generally isn’t any foreshadowing to it, it just happens randomly. So I see it now for the brilliance that it was. Normally Emma’s books are automatic five stars, but even though I loved the book, friends to lovers just isn’t my cup of tea. Her writing is impeccable as always and the steamy scenes were definitely steamy, but this trope just isn’t for me

    So much depth in the relationship between Willa and Waverly. The history between Duke and Willa and Savage. All just perfect! I love how all the characters from the first three books are still involved and a tight knit community has been formed. I love how Emma has made all the bikers in the series human on all different levels. Just another great book all around and I’m excited to dive into book 5!
  • Another great addition to Blue Angels!

    Willa and Duke are the sweetest! I love their best friends to lovers story! Duke has loved Willa forever, and he made sure he gave her the space to figure out she felt the same for him. There were some moments that made my eyes water a bit, you really just want the best for all involved. Such sweet and intimate moments not only between Willa and Duke, but with Willa and her sister Waverly. Definitely a great addition to the Blue Angels series and left lots of openings for new stories to emerge, can’t wait for the next!
  • Amazing series

    I love this series. It is incredible watching to see how the characters evolve. The joy of reading about Duke and Willa story. It is like coming home and be able to catch up and get a sneak peak on seeing old friends and meeting new friends and villains. It is a must read. You can never go wrong with this series.

    Willa and duke love story is fill with of love, family, and brotherhood of the blue angel. It also a great set up of what’s to come next in the series. I love how Willa and duke finally became a couple. How she handle help raising her sister and how to tell their best friend savage which by the way I like his book some day just saying. It’s a great series and can’t wait what’s next.
  • Loved it!!

    I received this as an ARC!!! Willa and Duke are so cute!! I loved the best friends to lovers part. Duke is so patient with Willa and listens to her! Willa and Waverlys relationship is wonderful! I can’t wait to see how their relationship unfolds in the next book. The upcoming war is going to be stressful for all
