The Commitment

Unbroken: Heavenly Rising #4

by Shayla Black, Jenna Jacob

One Bride. Two Bachelors. Total Commitment?

Seth Cooper must decide between growing a future with Heavenly Young and Kenneth “Beck” Beckman or losing them forever. His heart says yes...but his head knows that if he has to mourn his loved ones again, he won't survive. He chooses Heavenly and Beck—swallowing the quiet terror that their commitment might be the thing that shatters them all.

Then, Seth’s devoutly Catholic mother’s wedding compels the trio to New York. To preserve her happy day, he asks Heavenly to pose as his fiancée, while reducing Beck to platonic friend. The charade is temporary…but it quickly tears them apart.

When the trio’s plans for the future become terrifyingly real, a new discovery forces Seth to confront an old threat—exposing a betrayal he never saw coming and dragging them into the very risk he feared most. With everyone he loves—along with his secrets—in jeopardy, Seth must stop the killer or history will repeat itself in blood. Because surviving the danger is only possible if they fight for it together.

It's been a bit since the last book in this series came out, took me a few chapters to get back into this one. This book was filled with drama. From the start if Seth was going to be able to take a chance, to a big surprise Seth received, one which changed his life, to hiding the threesome during the wedding, to the drama that happened after the wedding at breakfast. I saw that last bit happening, figured out just who that person was, so it was satisfying to see I was right, even if it made for some harrowing reading. I was glad to see how things got taken care of, the threat gone once and for all, the past cleared up and the future cleared for Seth, Beck and Heavenly to be nothing but happy.

Where Hearts Entwine 🔥

The Commitment is a breathtaking conclusion to the Heavenly Rising series. This story stole my breath, took my heart, and made me blush. Beck, Heavenly, and Seth's unconventional love is gripping and intense, and I felt everything with them. The authors did an amazing job weaving a tale of love, risk, and survival. 🤓

But… The wait for these books was UNACCEPTABLE. 5 years for 4 books is too long. I get it, authors have schedules and other books to write but don’t start something that will take too long, it’s not fair and not the reader's fault. Honestly, it's unacceptable period. This is why I won't start a series until it's finished. My patience is gone. Despite that, I loved the story, and that's what matters.

5 Stars are not enough for this EPIC long awaited ending for Beck, Seth and Heavenly. While I expected the wonderfully written sex scenes that both Shayla Black and Jenna Jacobs are known for, what I was not ready for was the highly emotional roller coaster that the triad had to go through to finally get their HEA. Between Seth's tumultuous past, surprises that come out of no where and an ending that had me on the edge of my seat I could not put this down and once I was done I needed to re-read it to make sure I did not miss anything. This is one of those books that I would love to see on the big screen. I am just so sad that the legacy has come to an end. Phenomenal!!

I have waited for years for this final chapter in the Heavenly Rising series. First, you NEED to read the first three books in this series or you will be totally and completely LOST!! The journey that Beck, Seth and Heavenly have gone through is long, complicated and harrowing! Secrets pop up and things get very, very tense. Add some family drama to the mix and you have three people who struggle to keep their relationship going! I laughed, I cried, I cussed and then did it all over again! This series is one of my favorite series of all times!

Perfect!

This book was so worth waiting for!!

The conclusion to the saga of Heavenly, Seth & Beck is a test of patience, an experience in passion and a nail biter of suspense.

As the three navigate their new norm, they are met with one big surprise they never saw coming. They must acclimate and adjust what the future looks like.

While Seth must also decide if acceptance is as important as their happiness.

And a dark danger from the past will threaten everything they hope for.

What a ride from start to finish!

End of a series is always bittersweet when it's a series that you love and so that's this one for me. To watch Beck, Seth, and Heavenly and all the trials that they go through to finally, finally find their Happy ending/beginning. This series gave me all the thrills and spice that I expect from Black and Jacobs and I honestly can't wait for the next book that they work together on. You've just got to get this!

I have waited YEARS for this book and it didn’t disappoint! Not going to lie, it started off slow for me. But by chapter 9 - plot twist and the book really picked up momentum. I enjoyed how the storyline continued and wove in pieces from the previous two books. Only down side for me was the ending…. Not sure if that means there will be another one!?

Loved this!

I waited for this.. and it was so worth it! I’m a fan of Heavenly… and Beck and we’ll.. Seth’s entire family. This was a great read and it tied up missing pieces. I figured out who killed Michael before it actually was revealed. It had to be! Glad he got what he deserved!
