If I could give this story more than 5 Stars I would, this story gives you everything you didn't know you wanted. Bebe takes ahold of you from the first page and brings you on a phenomenal journey where the anticipation builds consistently page after page. You wait on baited breathe as you're reading wondering if this is the moment they give in or is it this moment, until you are literally on the edge of your seat white knuckled and restless. The way Bebe constructs the story line is masterfully done. She straight killed the Friends to Lovers game.
"I was lost inside a black void, and she was the flame lighting the way."
Wren and Lou were perfection. The possessiveness they had for each other was so intense and powerful. You could feel their emotions for each other consuming the pages of the story. Their connection was one that doesn't happen often and is so deep you'd have to sever their souls to release them from it. I fell in love with them as individuals but even more so as the couple they became. The sexual tension between them was constant, like a fire all it takes is one spark from that flame to rage into an inferno. And when it finally does it's worth the wait. Good Lord it was HOT!! I'm still all tingly.
"Lou was my onus. My light. The very last tether to my soul."
Wren is Alpha to the tenth degree. He's brooding, jealous, possessive, demanding but also caring and selfless, so in other words he's Perfection ***Sigh****. He's this broken soul trying to do the right thing but usually in the wrong way and it tugs at your heartstrings. He wants to be worthy of Lou but ultimately feels like he isn't. So he pushes her away but always comes back because he loves her too much to truly leave. You can feel his desperation and anguish as the story progresses and he's trying so hard to do what he thinks is right but Lou is slowly breaking down his barriers and with it his self-control.
"There was nothing angelic about Wren Harlan. He was too powerful. Too fierce. Too potent."
Lou is a great character she's one of my favorite heroines. Some people probably won't like her because she is at times immature and she is most definitely selfish. But that's why I like her she is only 15 when we meet her. She should be this way she's a teenager it made her so much more authentic and real. She doesn't let Wren get away with literally anything. He pushes and she pushes right back. She's strong but also so very vulnerable and she too is broken. She keeps her self guarded against as many things as she can so she won't get hurt again, the only one she truly lets in is Wren. I enjoyed her shenanigans they made me smile and brought fun to the story. I think her character is the one that matures the most, you watch her become this fierce, loyal women a true force who will do anything for those she loves without fear.
"I was the moth and she was the flame burning only for me."
Bebe has created this incredible world that once you start you don't want to leave. This story ties in with The Peer and The Puppet. I loved the connection's she created and the depth with which she has written them. I loved everything about this story and can't wait for the next in the series. Bebe is a master at her craft, this story will seep into your veins and stay there long after you've finished. The character's will burrow themselves into your marrow and lay claim to your heart and soul.

About the author
Great addition to the series!
I feel like I've been waiting forever for this book and I can't even begin to tell you how excited I was to finally be able to read this book! There is something about this series that I just love so much. The characters mean so much to me and getting to know Wren and Lou in this book, I love them now just as much as the characters from book one. I will say that I feel like I went into this book expecting one thing and kind of got another and at first I was a little disappointed by that and confused but I definitely understand why the book is written the way it is. I'm a sucker for best friends to lovers romance and this book was a winner for sure. I love that this was kind of a slow burn filled with so much tension I was about to scream if they didn't just get together at one point. But it was the perfect push and pull and I love them all the more for it. I would say this book is more character driven than plot driven (though the plot certainly plays a bigger part in the second half) which I loved since I don't really care much about plot. I love that we got the friendship scenes, the romance scenes and just getting to see the character development of not only the main characters but continuing to see the rest of the gang as well. I really enjoyed this book and I cannot wait for the next two books. I NEED Tyra and Vaughn's book asap and I'm missing Wren and Lou already (even though I just finished this book like twenty minutes ago). If you were a fan of the first book I think you'll really enjoy this one and if you haven't read this series before, I would recommend starting with book one since these books are awesome and you don't want to miss out on anything!

LOU AND WREN ARE PERFECTION. I LOVED these characters and I will never ever get over this book or them. B.B. Reid has brought so much chemistry and angst I was suffocating and could not read fast enough! I have never highlighted more! Lou embodied exactly what I love in my female leads and Wren.. well let’s just say he owns my heart.

Lou is homeless and constantly moving from foster home to foster home, on her latest attempt of running away she witnesses something she never should have and that ultimately changes the course of her life forever. This is definitely a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, or was this fate? Who knew saving this mysterious, gorgeous man one night would open her eyes to a whole new world who’s name starts with Wren. “𝙎𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙣𝙫𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚, 𝙪𝙣𝙗𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙙 𝙖 𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝙤𝙣 𝙪𝙨, 𝙙𝙧𝙖𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙪𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙖 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙚 𝙛𝙡𝙖𝙢𝙚.

She was completely relatable and I adore her!

Wren is such a beautiful man. I love him with all my heart, the way he takes care of Lou is incredible. She’s his best friend and he owes her his life. Only he also wants more from her then he will ever allow himself to have “𝙇𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙞𝙭 𝙄 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙪𝙡𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡 𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣.” Wren is involved in something very dark and he will keep Lou out of it no matter the cost.
