Van Doren Book 2: Noaz by Crea Reitan

 

Van Doren Book 2

Sometimes stars grant you wishes that come covered in blood.

I’ve wanted one thing for as long as I can remember - someone to love, a family, and a happily ever after. I finally found it with the least likely person across the street. Our life together has been dipped in espresso and given a massive jolt forward, but we couldn’t be happier. 

That is, until someone threatens that happiness and I’m forced to respond in order to protect my family that’s barely begun. I didn’t mean for this relationship to begin bathed in blood but I will do anything to protect the love I’ve waited decades for.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Noaz has always wanted to find someone to love and start a family. It’s been the dream for a while now and they have been moving toward stepping away from their job to really settle down and do this. But finding someone who loves them for them is a little harder. Until Briar. Briar takes one look at Noaz and he knows that Noaz is who he has been waiting for. He knew as a kid he wanted someone to love and care for and have a family with. He’s dated in the past but no one seems to fit right. Not when they don’t understand the love he has for his friends who live with him. They are tighter than most friends and are his family. But Noaz. Noaz understands since their family is essentially the same. Together, they both find what they are finally looking for. It’s a dream come true and perhaps that is why they fear something is about to happen to their happily ever after. But once you are loved by a Van Doren, you gain a family willing to do anything for you and protect you. So when trouble finds them, Noaz and Briar have the best back up. I adored these two!! They were just the absolute sweetest and could not be more perfect for one another. Throw in the drama and vigilante-ness that are the Van Dorens and it just makes one hell of a combo for an interesting story. I couldn’t put this down and it just makes me more excited for more books to come out in this series. 

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
