The Words: An Enemies-to-Lovers Standalone Romance

Product Information

Once upon a time, Phoenix Walker made me believe I was special. Then he destroyed me. I won’t give him the opportunity to do it again. Reading this story, it enables the readers to really connect with the characters, and as the story unfolds the readers see the development and growth from the characters singularly and together. There are moderate triggers within this story, so read at your own leisure. His low, raspy voice is a turbulent current of water, pulling me under. However, it’s the haunting, desperate look in his eyes that’s my undoing. I was angry… But I was also jealous. Even though I have no right to be. Because I’m not the kind of girl who gets the guy.” When I tell you I binge read this in one sitting, I mean I stayed up until 4 am reading it. And as I write this review bleary eyed and coffee high the next day, I have zero regrets. Because this book was simply EPIC.

This book was too much of a rollercoaster for me to even begin writing a review for…all I gotta say is Phoenix was such a horrible person and I loved it There are few authors as courageous or bold as her when it comes to the emotional capacity and complexity of her characters. She lets her characters be deeply flawed, often unlikeable at times. There are no true external villains- because her characters are their own villains, to each other and often to themselves. She has a deft hand in putting words and meaning to their brokenness, with a real, raw, earnest, and unapologetic immersion into the ins and outs of their flaws, their imperfections, their limitations. And in doing so, she gives us access to their humanity, and somehow then our own- the courage it takes to exist when we’re so messed up, when we’re so flawed, when we’re swimming in a world full of our own mistakes. How we're somehow in control and powerless in our own being all at once. It’s what marks her stories so consuming, her characters so compelling, and her words so meaningful- because underneath it all is an intimate reflection of the worst of ourselves…but the best of us, too.

Customer reviews

i could honestly gush about her all day long so i’ll stop now. as Skylar so wonderfully put it in the book, i, too, want to be Lennon Michaels when i grow up :) I devoured this book and enjoyed every sizzling sexy detail. It's dark and gritty with a touch of suspense blended with erotic sex and delicious angst." New York Times Bestselling author, Tabatha Vargo. My hands go to the zipper on my jeans, and I slide them down my hips. I stop undressing when I catch him watching. Storm isn’t the warm and fuzzy type and I know Quinn annoys the shit out of him, but that’s just plain heartless.’

The Words: An Enemies-to-Lovers Standalone Romance: Jade

When truths are spoken, secrets exposed, and betrayals come to light, the fallout is magnanimous, even when Lennox gets her moment in the lime light, Lennox’s father is admitted to hospital, Phoenix comforts her in her time of need, declaring there love for the other, getting married, only for her father to pass away, her life spiralling, but through it all Phoenix remains by her side. I wasn't even sure if these two would arrive at their HEA because it was a LONG road we had to travel, but that's what made this book so real, so raw, two beautifully broken characters, both flawed, making them that much easier to relate to. The hurt, the hate, the tugging on my heart, my mind in turmoil, this author pulled out all the stops and she nailed this book making it by far one of my most favourites by her!! I initially wanted to stop shortly after I started reading the book but I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt and I guess a chance to see if it was part of just the journey but the fact that the glow up happens at 25% and the negativity just continues to 58%, I decided to DNF it. Over the complete course of her career, she would come to write several romance series, including ‘Complicated Hearts Duet,’‘Devil’s Playground Duet,’ and ‘Complicated Parts.’ She would also produce some stand-alone titles too, which were also written in a similar vein, along with creating an omnibus edition. Maintaining a presence both offline and on, she continues writing to this present day, with lots more to come yet.
