Us by Emily Eck Review

4 Smooches!

Synopsis

Told from dual points of view, Elle and J must figure out how to bring down an MC, steer clear of flying bullets in Missouri and south of the border, all the while making sure Fernie is out of the line of fire. Elle’s love for J is tested, as is her belief that she will ever find “normal” with the man she loves.

J is determined to make things right so he can give Elle the “normal” life she deserves. He just has to stay alive to make it happen. With his own personal sun by his side, he knows nothing is impossible. That is, until the bullets are redirected from his head to Elle’s.

Elle: I held my hand up, showing him the ring he’d put on me. “This is us,” I told him. It was more than a ring. Well, to me it was more. “I promise to love you ‘til the day I die.”

J:”Us, baby. This is us. I’ll love you ’til the sun ceases to shine.”

Review

This is the final book about J and Elle, and I couldn’t wait to see how it all works out for these 2. They have been through many highs and lows and I feel the book ended the way that is should have.

We start this book with insight into what happened to Elle and Chris, we get the back story to them becoming friends. This comes because of a nightmare that Elle has in which she flashes back to that night. This happens because of how book 2 ends. The kidnapping that took place brings the emotions out for her. We get to watch as J consoles and comforts her. They finally decide to stop star fishing and tell each other the things they feel rather than hide them.

Elle and J are fighting for their lives, even if they weren’t aware of it to start off with. The kidnapping is just the beginning and they need to fight to stay alive. We read about what they are willing to do for each other and what they are willing to go through in order to make sure that they have a future together. J is feeling the weight of all this, he feels that he is responsible for Elle’s life change, he feels it is his fault that she is by his side and not alone and safe. But he just can’t give her up.

We get Fernie in this story as well as some other characters that are thrown in. we have J’s MC Brothers and we have new girl Isabel. We also get a chapter from Chris. It’s amazing to get to read from these pov’s as well as J and Elle’s. We feel the guilt that Elle has because of Fernie in this book. She feels that he is being out into this danger with them, when he shouldn’t have been involved.

We get to see the softer sides of both Elle and J which is fantastic to read, I love when they both open up to each other and tell it how it is. Elle finally talks openly about her feelings for J, “You own my heart, my love…me. Im in this with you now, and I’ll die for you, just like you would for me. I can’t lose you again. A life without you isn’t an option.”

I loved this book, and I felt the way it ended was perfect for them. They got their home. I look forward to reading more of Emily Eck’s work. Well done on another brilliant read.

“Us, baby. This is us. I’ll love you ‘til the sun ceases to shine. I’ll keep telling you until you believe me.”
