Like many other people I have been waiting for this one for what feels like forever!
This book literally strips us back to nothing. This is not only the story of life and love between Nessa and Ryder but this is the finale of the series, and boy can you tell!
As expected, the book is action packed and there are some really harrowing moments. It really leads us through what it is to be O’Kane in its purest sense, and who better to do the than the Princess Nessa herself!
Shit gets real. You broke my heart.
I think it’s the softness that I connect with Nessa. Yes, she’s an O’Kane, she’s a close second to Dallas and Lex as the O’Kane so she is always going to have an inner strength and integrity. But, she is our little sister, she is the soft spot, the one everyone cuddles and loves just because. She’s never been a sexual being in this context before, always the sister and never the lover.
This is not just about falling in love, but about remaining in love and the different loves you have in your life. The love for your brother/sister in arms, the dependency on your other half as he/she completes you and the various different relationships we see in the book.
“A place where you belonged even if you didn’t fit in, because the only qualifications for belonging were showing up, having each others backs, and caring.”
“They found the people who carried them through the fuck ups and cherished them even though they were flawed, fallible humans.”
This friendship and love is hard to find and should be cherished when it is found.
The writing is unbelievable! The way you are led through the scenes in amazing and once I hit 50% there was no putting this down!
Another amazing book from Kit Rocha!

The final book in the bestselling, award-winning series…
She’s the heart of O’Kane liquor.
For years, Nessa has been focused on work. She keeps the whiskey—and the money—flowing, and life is sweet. Sure, she’s tired of being everyone’s baby sister, and she longs for a man who can stand up to her overprotective O’Kane brothers. But she never thought she’d meet him in the middle of a war.
He’s the brains of the revolution.
War is all Ryder knows. He was raised with one goal: to ensure the sectors’ successful rebellion against Eden. His father and his mentor both died for freedom, and nothing will stop him from securing their legacies with victory. He doesn’t have time for distractions—especially beautiful, impulsive ones like Nessa.
Opposites don’t just attract, they combust. Together, Nessa and Ryder have a chance for something more than the lives they’ve always known. But this is war—deadly, bloody war—and the only way to happily-ever-after is straight through Eden.
