Fight Or Flight
Once upon a time, my father's best friend gave up his life to save me and my mom.
That's a debt a man can never fully repay, but my father gave it his best shot.
When Joss and Brooklyn showed up at Big Nose Kate's, it was Bones they were hoping to find.
Instead, they got us and a death certificate.
Without Bones, I wouldn't be here today.
Without my dad, Brooklyn would have wound up alone.
And without Brooklyn....well, I would've given up.
I'm Eric Montgomery, and until Brooklyn Richardson came into my life, I believed sacrifice and integrity were a man's creed.
That becoming a soldier was my destiny.
Enlisting in the United States Army nearly broke me.
But it also taught me how to defend, honor and fight.
And loving Brooklyn gave me something to fight for.

After meeting and reading and learning all about the members of the Satan's Knights MC, I didn't think it could get any better. Then JIB had a great idea: gift us with the second generation. So not only do I get the chance to see all of my old favorites again, I get to fall in love with their grownup offspring too!
Brooklyn's mom is dying and she wants to make sure her daughter is safe before she leaves. When they show up to Big Nose Kate's, they're looking for Eric/Bones. What they find is a group of people willing and able to welcome them with open arms and hearts. Bones may be gone, but his life gave them a new family so they would never be alone again.
Eric Montgomery, son of Riggs (one of my favorites), always felt that his life had to mean something. After Bones' sacrifice, he had a lot to live up to. Then along came Brooklyn, who was like another gift, and his life just kept getting better. Their connection was instantaneous. Their love was glorious. And this story... so beautiful. Fight or Flight is full of amazing characters and sweet moments. If you're a fan of feelings, this story is definitely for you.

What a magnificent story this turned out to be! I’m very new to this author so I wasn’t really sure what to expect about anything and I mean I was just blown away! It takes a lot to blow me away with a YA couple, but these two just seemed more than their age. I will say that I wish I had read the series this generation came from but not because I was lost in this moment, but because I desperately want to know where they come from. It did not affect my ridiculous love for this book, but it certainly wouldn’t have hurt lol :) This is an emotional read that will range from ugly cry to sweet happy sigh and everything in between. I’m super stoked to go back in time and read all about the original Tempted Series very soon, and it’s all in one lovely boxset already! #win

Fight or Flight - Tempted Series Generation 2.0 book #1. This was a young adult read full of emotions and love. Eric Montgomery, Riggs and Lauren's son was sweet and swoony. Brooklyn was so sweet. I felt so bad for her at times. I loved their chemistry and relationship.

3,5-4 Beautiful Hurricane Stars
I'm a little torn with my review. On one hand I adored this story - it's on the NA side (the characters are 17/18 years old), it's a sweet puppy love with an amazing family in the background, very supportive, and funny. I honestly adored Eric's parents, how smart, and helpful they were. Also let's not lie to ourselves, I picked this one up because Eric is Riggs and Lauren's oldest son from the OG Tempted series, and Tiger and Kitten were my favourite couple from that series (as well as one of my all time favorite romance couples ever - and now I need to re-read their story). Eric was such an amazing, and smart boy. He was everything you could want in a teenage son. He was loving and funny. I also really liked Brooklyn, even with so many hardships in her young life, she was still able to look for a bright side. And it was really amazing to observe.
But on the other hand I feel a little confused with how the main characters acted as regular adults with their logical thinking and smart decisions, and life changing choices. I mean I'd give them at least 3-5 more years to act like that, and for me it just felt a little bit unrealistic (though even people in their 20's or 30's don't act as concious and responsable in their lives). And I get that you can meet the love of your life at that young age, I just didn't understood how the last 15% of this book happened....
That aside I really enjoyed this story. It was sweet, amazing, and I swooned so hard seeing Eric, and his siblings grow up in such a loving home. Also seeing that first real falling in love with the other person. I will definitely check out this series, because I'm so happy for the next generation to get their story, especially with their amazing, and crazy parents still around and very active.
Warning: I wouldn't tag it as a YA book, as many poeple did, because yes, the main characters are young, but the story has graphic descriptions of sex, coursing, and mentions of criminal activity in the background.

I wish I would have waited until after starting the new series of another chapter. It's not about the new chapter but the kids are growing up and the one who was just a couple books ago was swinging from the chandelier is now an adult.
This is kinda a many years later book about Eric or otherwise known as Bones. If you have not read the series stop 🛑 here because there will be spoilers. IF you have read the series you're probably wondering how Bones has a many years later book. Well do you remember that one night he spent with the girl of his dreams but didn't think he was good enough for her?? Well he has a daughter... you kinda figured that by the letter he was just about to read before they were attacked and he was killed.
This is the story of his daughter, her mom and Eric, Riggs oldest son. Yes you remember he was named after the man who saved his life before he was even born.
There's some really sad moments to where I had tears in my eyes and I don't do crying books but I still really enjoyed it. There's some very sexy time's too.
Anytime after reading the series is a good time to read this book... DON'T miss it!!

After reading about and loving the Satan nights MC I was so happy for the next generation. This is Riggs and Lauren's son Eric's story. Eric and Brooklyn might be young but these two characters are mature and their story was sweet, inspiring and very much emotional and it will give you all the feels. These two were meant to be together and I loved watching their love blossom and I loved how they dealt with all life threw their way. This was a story that dealt with grief, heartbreak and healing and was also filled with humor and love.
Riggs and Lauren were awesome supportive parents and I just loved the sense of humor they brought to the story. Seeing these characters and getting to spend time with them was such a treat.
This was a beautiful tale and I can't wait to see what next Janine had in store for us. I enjoyed it and would recommend it to all lovers of YA romance.

You're going to have to pick your heart up from the floor after reading Fight or Flight…..
Janine Infante Bosco - Author's characters, words, and storylines have a way to weave into your eyes as you read them and find a home in your heart and soul… and that's how you know you're in for one unforgettable ride!
Eric and Brooklyn might be young, but they are wise beyond their years. Life threw them a few detours and they needed to own them. And they did, with everything that they had.
Fight. Flight. Sacrifice.
They gave it their best fight.
They tried to avoid the flight.
They sacrificed so much.
Riggs and Lauren are amazing parents! Janine Infante Bosco did justice to these characters that she created and shared with us. Tiger and Kitten gave so much love and knew exactly when to be fun, loving, humorous parents and when to dish out the tough love and disipline. I wish they would write a parent's manual, I'm taking pages from them.
I'm going to warn you. Start rearranging your bookshelf, because this book will be one of your top reads of 2020!!

I’m a forever fan of young adult books. The first kisses are always so sweet. Brooklyn Nicholson meets Eric Montgomery at a really sad time of her life when she needs to know she is loved and cared for her.
He’s the perfect young boyfriend material. Boys need to take a leaf out of his book on how to treat a girl. His parents are adorable too. The author did a great job of portraying a loving caring family.
When I picked the book up to read, I didn’t realise that it was a spin off to a previous series about a motorbike club. I probably wouldn’t have read it if I’d known, but actually other than the names like Uncle Gangster, Pipe, Bones and Riggs, there is nothing else biker about it.
I didn’t think the book cover was a good representation of the book content, as the couple are way too old, and the blurb didn’t say it was YA.

I shed a massive amount of tears as this story touched me on such a personal level. It was cathartic to get those tears out. Thank you.
Brooklyn and Eric’s story was brilliant, beautiful and inspiring. What a fantastic way to introduce us to the 2nd generation. Filled with hope and love. Brooklyn having to grow up way to soon due to circumstances. Eric sees the strength and for such a young man himself knows just what Brooklyn needed. Brooklyn saw the honor and bravery the Eric holds so near to his heart that even though it was hard Brooklyn finds the peace and love for Eric to learn and support his dream. Absolutely beautiful story.

This story was amazing, talk about a tear jerker, omg!!! I was crying from the first paragraph & was sucked in right away. Absolutely LOVE Eric & Brooklyn as well as this next generation of Satan's Knights. You can't help but get drawn in to this story. I found myself constantly crying and laughing. At times I had to stop reading because I couldn't see due to the water in my eyes from crying. I got sucked in from the first word & I felt everything they were feeling. My heart broke for Brooklyn. This has to be one of the best books I read all year!!! This is A MUST read!!!!

Omg this book. I loved it. Eric and Brooklyn ❤️❤️
All I’m going to say is I cried and laughed so much. I miss Bones. Would have loved to see him with Brooklyn.
This book just has all the feels. I’m so glad I started at the beginning with these books because I feel like I’m with them for the start. I Love that you see everyone in all the books too. Love Lauren and Riggs. My favorite set of books from the very first one.

Fight or Flight is the first book in a spin off series, Tempted, Generation 2.0. It can be read alone but if you enjoy biker romances, you might also really enjoy the OG series!
Brooklyn is being forced to move her life into a stranger's home. She never met her father, a biker named Bones and has only lived her life with her mom, Joss. But Joss is dying and she needs some place to land until she turns 18. She ends up staying with her father's best friend, Riggs and his family (Reckless Temptations (The Tempted Series Book 4)). Brook doesn't have room in her life for romance, especially with Riggs' son, Eric, but it seems fate doesn't give a damn.
Let's start with Riggs and Bones. Yes, they're a part of the Satan's Knights motorcycle club and it was great seeing some of our old friends from previous books but really, Eric and Brook don't have a lot to do with the club. Eric is set on joining the Army and I had to admire his determination but more, his sense of loyalty and honor. This is a young adult/coming of age story but with their circumstances, both Eric and Brook had to grow up way faster than a "normal" teenager. (What's normal anyway?!?) My heart broke for Brook, repeatedly. I wanted to reach through the pages and hug her. This is the magic that is Janine Infante Bosco... She writes characters that are so relatable, charismatic. It's normally a chore for me to connect with YA characters but I had no problem with these two from the very start!
This book has a less dramatic plot than others from the original generation but definitely still pertinent in the end. It's a sweet yet sexy little gem! Told from dual POVs with a happy ending. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review.
Once upon a time, my father's best friend gave up his life to save me and my mom. That's a debt a man can never fully repay, but my father gave it his best shot. When Joss and Brooklyn showed up at Big Nose Kate', it was Bones they were hoping to find. Instead, they got us and a death certificate. Without Bones, I wouldn't be here today. Without my dad, Brooklyn would have wound up alone. And without Brooklyn...well, I would've given up. I'm Eric Montgomery, and until Brooklyn Richardson came into my life, i believed sacrifice and integrity were a man's creed. That becoming a soldier was my destiny. Enlisting in the Untied States Army nearly broke me. But it also taught me how to defend, honor and fight. And loving Brooklyn gave me something to fight for.
This is the story of Eric Montgomery, and if you have read the first series of these books you know his parents well because they are Riggs and Lauren. I have to take a moment here and say I can't believe we are reading about the children now. Made me feel old and like they grew up in the blink of an eye. I always picture them as they were in the last series, but with that said this is fiction and I loved getting to read about the children. Just as you would expect from Riggs and Lauren's son, he is a swoony sweet little guy and to say that Brooklyn was perfect for him is a understatement. However Brooklyn's mom is dying (oh my heart I try so hard not to read books about dying parents they just gut me, because I lost my mom pretty young and I just can't take it) and wants to make sure that her daughter is safe before she passes on. They go to Big Nose Kate's looking for Bones but as we know Bones is gone( but I swear I mourned for him so hard in this book. So you need to be sure to have the Kleenex really close by) but he has left for them a new family so these two would never be alone, ever. This leads to her meeting Eric. A guy who wants his life to mean something and he felt like after Bones made his sacrifice he needed to live up to a lot. He just never saw the gift of Brooklyn coming. These to have a instant connection a connection that I fell in love with too. This book is amazing and I devoured it. I fell so in love with these character's. You don't want to miss this book. It's like going back and spending time with your favorites and their grown up children. Anytime I get to spend with some of my favorites is a really great time for me.

I don’t usually go for YA stories but something about this one intrigued me and I am very glad I decided to read it. This author shows her writing versatility with this book.
The story is by both lead characters, Brooklyn and Eric, therefore we get a deeper understanding of each character, what they are thinking, why they do what they do, and how they feel. It also helps to build up background knowledge especially for Brooklyn.
This story has such an emotional pull. You find yourself, as the reader, feeling such empathy for Brooklyn. She is really thrown for a loop and at such a critical age too. I really liked her character and how she thought things out, having to be responsible and basically, the caregiver at that age would do that. I understood her reasoning for rejecting Eric but did feel for both of them.
Eric, oh boy, at first I thought blimey not that guy but I am happy to say he proved me very, very wrong. I really liked him, he was extremely honest with himself even if he did go about things in a slightly different manner. He has his father’s great sense of humor too.
With a zany family-like Lauren and Riggs’ you basically let go and expect the unexpected. I loved the sense of humor they brought to the story, it balanced the heavier side of the story very well and had me chuckling out loud.
What an enjoyable romance, I recommend this sweet love story.

A terrific beginning to this new series!
I really loved this start of the new Tempted Generation 2.0 series, and I can't wait for more! It was a heartbreaking, emotional, and sweet story that will also have you cracking up. What more would you expect when Riggs & his family are involved?!? Lol! It's certainly not a story that you're going to want to miss!
I would highly recommend that you start with the original Tempted series, then continue reading the Satan's Knights MC, and all of the rest of the books that come afterwards prior to starting this new series. (Or the new Pastore Crime family series, which is also heavily involved with these series) It's not necessary, but you will have a better understanding of the characters, the different groups, how they all connect with one another, and the dynamics between them. You will not be disappointed since they're all absolutely amazing stories! Plus you'll have plenty of time to catch up with the awesome characters before the next book is available in this series.
I'm not trying to push the author's work for any reason other than because I truly loved all of the books that I have read, which is every one that involves the Satan's Knights MC and the characters involved with them. This new series is about the children of the original members of the Satan's Knights MC, and some are also related to the Pastore crime family, which is also a new series. I'm really looking forward to both, especially since I know that I'll be reading about some of the previous characters, which I am thrilled about. I hope that you take the time to read all of these awesome stories, and enjoy them as much as I have.
I would definitely recommend this book, series, and exceptional author.

I would highly recommend that you start with the original Tempted series, then continue reading the Satan's Knights MC, and all of the rest of the books that come afterwards prior to starting this new series. (Or the new Pastore Crime family series, which is also heavily involved with these series) It's not necessary, but you will have a better understanding of the characters, the different groups, how they all connect with one another, and the dynamics between them. You will not be disappointed since they're all absolutely amazing stories! Plus you'll have plenty of time to catch up with the awesome characters before the next book is available in this series.
I'm not trying to push the author's work for any reason other than because I truly loved all of the books that I have read, which is every one that involves the Satan's Knights MC and the characters involved with them. This new series is about the children of the original members of the Satan's Knights MC, and some are also related to the Pastore crime family, which is also a new series. I'm really looking forward to both, especially since I know that I'll be reading about some of the previous characters, which I am thrilled about. I hope that you take the time to read all of these awesome stories, and enjoy them as much as I have.
I would definitely recommend this book, series, and exceptional author.

I don’t usually go for YA stories but something about this one intrigued me and I am very glad I decided to read it. This author shows her writing versatility with this book.
The story is by both lead characters, Brooklyn and Eric, therefore we get a deeper understanding of each character, what they are thinking, why they do what they do and how they feel. It also helps to build up background knowledge especially for Brooklyn.
This story has such an emotional pull. You find yourself, as the reader, feeling such empathy for Brooklyn. She is really thrown for a loop and at such a critical age too. I really liked her character and how she thought things out, having to be responsible and basically the care giver at that age would do that. I understood her reasoning for rejecting Eric but did feel for both of them.
Eric, oh boy, at first I thought blimey not that guy but I am happy to say he proved me very, very wrong. I really liked him, he was extremely honest with himself-even if he did go about things in a slightly different manner. He has his father’s great sense of humour too.
With a zany family like Lauren and Riggs’ you basically let go and expect the unexpected. I loved the sense of humour they brought to the story, it balanced the heavier side of the story very well and had me chuckling out loud.
What an enjoyable romance, I recommend this sweet love story.

Every time I read a Satan’s Knight story I laugh, I cry and I swoon. Janine creates a world of strong men and women in every story. This one, this one is different. It’s the next generation and I was drawn into Eric and his little hurricane, Brooklyn’s story and it will rip your heart out, have you cheering them on and admire the strength of their connection. She’s a special one. No spoilers but you are going to love it when you find out who she’s related to.
Eric is his father’s son. Tenacious, handsome and strong with sparkling blue eyes. Brooklyn is a tiny thing but life has thrown her a curve ball but that girl can bat it out of the park. She’s fierce, loving and although she has her own demons to heal, she wants Eric. They may be seventeen but they know what they want and won’t let even Riggs the badass bicker get in their way.
We get a glimpse of the old guard too, Wolf, Jack and of course Riggs and Lauren right at the forefront. I fell in love with the Satan Knights from book one and I’m happy to say the second generation will still be grasping at my heartstrings. I never want their stories to end. I want to live in world. Feel their pain, endure their losses and share in their ties.
“Near or far, Together forever. “
“God pairs the strongest women with soldiers, he pairs them with hurricanes.”
No truer words were ever said. Knights always have your back.
Janine writes a funny, loving but badass MC romance every single time.

I fell in love with Janine's writing after reading the Tempted series so reading the 1st book in the 2nd generation stories it felt like coming home.
This series is Rigg's and Lauren's son Eric's story and I can honestly say that he was giving his dad a run for his money with a position in my heart. This boy honestly was so sweet and will make you swoon hard. He has a heart of gold and so much strength and courage.
Brooklyn, oh how my heart broke for this sweet girl. She comes to the Kates to meet her father (I won't give away who it is) as her mum is sick and she has no-one else. Considering the hand she is dealt she handles everything so well, she's so strong. It doesn't hurt that she has Eric at her side, feeding her strength to put one foot in front of the other, to deal with what is sent her way.
It was so nice seeing some of the characters from previous books again. I was highly entertained with Rigg's parenting style and the way he brings his unique brand of crazy and humour into his kids life's. I will warn you that you will have 'WAX ON, WAX OFF' stuck in your head a while after this one.
Janine brought her A-game with this one packing it full of heart, emotion, heartbreak, grief, healing mixed with so much love and laughter. It was certainly the addictive page-turner and I will also warn tissues will be needed. There were points that took me ages to read as I struggled to read through the tears.
I Can't wait to see what this series brings us next.

Own it! Take the detour!
I don’t even know where to start with this review. This was by far the most heart wrenching book I have read so far by this author. You’re probably thinking of all of the other books that she has written where you have bawled like a baby!! Yeah me too. But this one was like my life story. I had to walk away several times to pull myself together. I felt as if she knew my life and transcribed it into this amazing story.
There are not enough words to fully describe this book. You have the amazing family, the shenanigans of Riggs and Lauren, the one of a kind dynamics of the Satan Knights and throw in the story of Eric and Brooklyn and you have a masterpiece.
You REALLY need the first generation books to fully appreciate this story. You can read this without the previous books but you’ll be missing a lot of inside jokes! Okay you’ll be missing a wonderful walk down memory lane.
She does an absolute amazing job describing the entire boot camp experience for all involved. Her dedication to those who wear a uniform is such a beautiful addition to this great world.
I will read this book several times and I can not wait for more of the second generation. Then I will reread the entire saga!! It’s that good!!
Thanks so much Janine for telling this amazing story.

Eu adorei o ritmo, o enredo e os personagens.

Full of love, heartache, passion and affection, the second generation of the Tempted series will grab you from the get go. Eric is up first, and this “Soldier Boy” knows what it takes to step up and be a man. At seventeen years old he has a heart full of love and is never ashamed to show it, but what do you expect from the first born of Tiger and Kitten?? He has the honor of his namesake and then even more. Of course no one expects a storm to come into their lives, but when his own “pretty little hurricane” arrives, he knows something in his life has changed forever. As Eric quickly matures and becomes the man he wants to be, Brooklyn’s world has been slowly falling to pieces and landing in the arms of Eric, and his family is just where she needed to be. This book has the laughs and sarcasm we come to love end expect from Riggs and his crew, but there is no question this book will reach into your heart and your soul in a way that few will. Well written, beautiful and perfection....In the opinion of this fan, this book is more than I ever imagined possible! Thank you Janine Infante Bosco, you hit this one out of the park!❤

What a way to start off the 2nd generation!
Eric and Brooklyn are each others missing piece. Both are wise beyond their years, each for very different reasons, but there isn't anyone more suited for each than the other.
I knew from chapter 2 that this book was going to wreck me. You know what I mean, one of those books that you just know you're not going to survive without leaving a little of yourself within the pages. This is one of those books. I normally devour a good book, process it, review it and move on. There was no devouring this story. The emotion is palpable. Overwhelming. Consuming. There are so many poignant moments in this story, you really have to take a moment to honor each and every one of them. Then there's the nod to the history of where they come from. It was great to see old friends rally around the next generation as they carry on the legacy they were born into.
This author has totally and completely outdone herself with this one. I can't wait to see who's next.

From the very beginning the tears fell, I cried tears of sadness and tears of joy. This wasn’t a story about age this was a story of love and your heart and soul finding your one. Eric and Brooklyn were two people who shared an unknown connection from before they were born, a detour that drew them together. Theirs was a story that had me an emotional mess from start to finish. I mean think ugly crying and multiply it by 100. Eric owned my heart and Brooklyn made me proud. This girl was a character of pure strength, love and determination. Brooklyn literally was the eye of the storm. These two were that moment the storm ends, peace surrounds you and that brilliant light streams through the clouds making you feel like anything is possible as long as you are together forever. Don’t get me wrong it wasn’t always about tears of sadness because sometimes I laughed till I cried, hey what could you expect, this story contained Riggs. Hands down this is one of the best books Janine has written and that is saying something.

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You see destruction, I see strength. I see the one thing still after everything else has fallen to s**t.”
The Tempted Series 2.0 is off with one gripping, emotional, heart wrenching read and you will want to have tissues handy. Brooklyn has had to grow up too soon as she deals with challenges that life has handed her which brings her to the doorstep of Riggs and his family including his seventeen-year-old son Eric. Even at his young age, Eric has known what he wants and has taken steps to follow his chosen path but he never anticipated a pretty little hurricane to sweep in and upend his world. “I believe no one knows for sure where life will take them, but in the end, we land right where we’re meant to, surrounded by the people we’re meant to love.” The relationship between Eric and Brooklyn is penned with such realism and depth that you cannot help but be drawn in to their feelings. It is a challenge to express what this storyline will evoke as it is a beautifully written and moving story. I volunteered to read a copy of this book.

Fight or Flight will pull at all of your heartstrings! This story will bring tears to your eyes and will have you smiling too. There is so much that happens in this story between Brooklyn losing her mom, Eric enlisting in the Army and through all of these life changing events Eric and Brooklyn find that once in a life time love. They may be young, but their hearts and souls are connected. He is her soldier boy and she is his hurricane!
As a military mom, this book really touched my heart because Eric’s reasons for enlisting in the Army were for all the right reasons. He did it with a great sense of patriotism and his family understood and supported their soldier.
Since this is a second generation story we get the added benefit of seeing Riggs deal with his kids and all the crazy humor he bring to the table. He and Lauren did a wonderful job raising their family.
Grab you copy and enjoy! You will not be disappointed!

We're finally to the next generation of the Tempted Series. Goodness! What a rollercoaster their parents' stories all happened to be, but we're finally getting to see the youngsters grow up. Eric Montgomery is the oldest son of Riggs and Lauren. If you don't know who that is or the importance of his name, you need to read "Detours and Dead Ends" to get background information. Although, you could probably pick up on the story without having too much trouble. Your choice.
Brooklyn is Bones' daughter that he never knew about. The love of his life Joss is dying and they come searching for him. Well, we know how his story ended. Eric has an immediate attraction to Brooklyn (his little Hurricane) and the story takes off from there. It's a fantastic story bringing in the different generations of the MC and some of the mafia elements (people). I can't wait to read more possibly Luca, Tabitha, or the other Montgomery kids. Bring it on! Loved this book and highly recommend it.

best story ever, I loved how it felt like a feel good story right from the start. I really liked how it was about the next gen and Riggs kids. It felt really and was very powerful with the words. I did tear up a lot with this story and laughed and felt happy at other parts. Can someone say emotional roller coaster. As emotional as this story turns out to be its one that is a MUST READ. Brooklyn and Eric are this prefect match made in heave couple, that by the end you really want more of there story like what happens after BLANK BLANK( see what I did there you have to read it). Family this story has that 100 times over I love that no matter what Janine had everyone come together for support it goes well with what's actually happening in the world right now, gave me all the warm feels. She 100% nail the 2 person POV that totally blew my mind and left me craving more Eric who reminds me so much of Riggs. Trust me and read this story.

This is the 1st tale in the next generations stories and what an amazing beginning this is for a new series. This is Eric and Brooklyn’s story. Eric is Rigg’s and Lauren’s son and I loved how Riggs brings his unique brand of humour into his children’s lives, and they are amazing parents. It was also great to have a catch up with some of the characters. Eric meets Brooklyn at a very sad time in her life having just lost her mom, and together they are the missing pieces in a puzzle, and even though they are young they are soulmates, and they face some tough times and challenges. This is a beautifully written tale which is an emotional roller coaster throughout, and is a heart-wrenching, and humorous read as well as a poignant love story. I was captivated throughout this addictive page turner, and I cannot wait to read ore in this amazing series, which I highly recommend for all.

I don't normally read New Adult novels, but this one was so moving! This is actually the first book I've read by Bosco and it was so sweet. Brooklyn is in the most heart-breaking situation of her life. Her mom is dying of cancer and has weeks to live. In the meanwhile, Mom decides to go find Brooklyn's father because there's noone else for her. An accident brings Brooklyn to old friends of her mom's and she is drawn in with love and great care. Eric Montgomery, a senior in high school like Brook, is immediately taken with her. This story took me right back to that late high school/college age. Bosco just draws you in with her fantastic writing. There's the perfect amount of heat in this novel, too. Fight or Flight has the perfect ending. I look forward to reading more in this series AND going back to catch up! I highly recommend this sweet story. 4.5 stars!

Such an emotional but beautiful love story. Brooklyn suffered two great losses and Eric’s family were there to help her with anything and embraced her. Little did they know that the minute these two met they were meant for each other. Eric was extremely protective of Brooklyn and his entire family took notice. They knew there was no stopping him from falling in love with the beautiful girl and they embraced it. Brooklyn was going thru a very sad time and Eric was always there but he felt like he needed to do more. When Eric needed her she stood strong and gave him all the encouragement and support that he needed. No matter how young they were they made it work and his family were their biggest cheerleaders. Their epilogue was different and you’ll read it with a smile on your face and teary eyes; simply beautiful.
