Publisher's summary

29-year-old Paul Donnelly has been many things in his life. Son of addicts, high school dropout, tattooist, the shameless bodyguard to Beckett Cobalt, the “bodyguard camp counselor” to the rookies of SFO, Loren Hale’s nemesis, and Xander’s wise one.

But nothing means as much without Luna Hale. The sci-fi-loving writer. A weirdo. Sister to his client. The only one he’s fallen for.

To be with Luna, he has to ensure it’s totally, completely, unmistakably safe. That starts with taking care of his family—the family he walked away from as a teenager.

He knows he’ll survive. He can survive anything. But this time, he just wants to survive with her.

Take an epic cosmic journey with Luna & Donnelly through heartache, hope, darkness, love, and an unceasing light—where the bonds we make are what power us through time.

Love love love this

I absolutely love the whole series, but the Hales have my heart. That being said, why the cliffhanger?!

Holy shiz show Batman.

I don’t know where to start. First and foremost; I am screaming for Donnelley- like for all the things 😭

Luna; holy breadsticks! She went through so much. And to have to start ALL OVER!!!! Uhh!!

And that cliff hanger- not cool man!!

But 10 out of freaking 10! This is a must!!

Heartbreaking

Oh this one is hard to review without revealing anything but it's a heartbreaking story but filled with hope and the bonds between people, if you've been with this series from the start and really you should be because these are not stand alone but if you have you'll feel what these characters are feeling and I mean all of them. I do wish we had a little more with Lily especially after and there are sooooo many questions I can't wait for the next installment. Narration is done well and the Female voice is much better this go round though I'm still not feeling Carlson as Donnelly but he does do a good job and again thank you for not trying to do a philly accent!

OMG

I started off seeing a lot of parallels between Lily and Lo’s journey and Luna and Donnelly’s; the right person, wrong time narrative that I really love the way Krista and Becca explore. Then we were hit with the plot twist and I thought the same thing I did in Sulli’s plot twist - omg we are really getting this trope.

I love the worlds the twins build and would happily read hundreds of thousands of words of nothing but these characters eating dinner and building ikea furniture together, but they still find a way to breathe fresh life into their plots without it feeling overly trope-y or like they’re just checking off a list of “things we haven’t included yet.” Twenty four* books into this world and I’m still on the edge of my seat, devouring these stories and can’t wait for what comes next.

Oh and we’re hit with a major cliffhanger at the end. Although at this point I have such faith in the authors that I think I have an idea what’s coming and it’s going to be more fun than heartbreaking.

Narration: A narrator switch mid series can be tough, but I really loved Leesa Lamb and thought she fit Luna even better than Michelle Sparks did.

all the love & found family made me so emotional!!

easily one of my top reads. this book wrecked me in the best (& worst) ways. luna & donnelly are one of my favorite couples in the addicted/calloway/like us world. their love is so so special and the fact that they truly understand one another is everything to me. they make each other feel safe and heard and they are true soulmates🧡

what i loved:
🛸 donnelly’s daily planner
🛸 the fanaticon messages
🛸 lo and donnelly’s relationship🥹
🛸 donnelly willing to do anything to have his shot with luna
🛸 luna being luna - my favorite girl always
🛸 chapter 19 HURT (thinking about it makes me want to cry again)
🛸 the surprise trope that kbr said they’ve never written before — YUP was not expecting that one
🛸 pretty much all of part 2 but mostly the fact the luna & donnelly will always find each other, they’re written in the stars
🛸 moffy & xander - the hale family is everything and you see just how close they are in this one
🛸 the ending!!! it better be who we’re all hoping it is🙊

i don’t want to say too much else because i would hate to spoil everything that goes down in this book but just know this book was absolutely incredible, my favorite of the series so far!

Love this series SOOO MUCH

I love Donnelly and Luna’s story. I hate to have to wait to listen. The ARC in this story changes everything, and also nothing. I hated it and loved it at the same time.

KBR did it again!!!

Luna & Donnelly's love story unfolds across three books, weaving together two tropes: friends-to-lovers and forbidden romance. Donnelly, the devoted bodyguard to Luna's younger brother shares a unique bond with Luna through his artwork and their geeky ways.

In this book, his family is becoming more of a problem especially when they kidnap Luna. In the process, she sustains a head injury that leaves her with PTA (post-traumatic amnesia). She is experiencing many firsts with Donnelly who she can't remember.

This ended in a cliffhanger. Now, I have to wait until the audio comes out to discover what happens.
