“You want to know what I see when I look at you?” She draws her lips between her teeth and nods once. “My whole fucking world.”
Book 3 in the Enemy Muse series starts in the past, 6 years ago, before the band had a record deal. We meet Adrian when Eloise does, and feel the immediate draw the two have to each other. Over the course of the next weeks, Adrian becomes the band’s manager while trying to deny the pull to Eloise. After a few stolen moments that the two don’t know how to navigate with him as their manager, Eloise experiences a trauma that causes her to put up walls and shut Adrian out for years. We then skip ahead to present day (after the events of Forever and Ever) and Eloise has a stalker. Adrian refuses to leave her, causing the feelings both of them have tried to bury for years to come bubbling to the surface. Adrian is steadfast in his determination keep Eloise safe, and their proximity to each other means they can no longer hide their truths. Their love is beautiful and strong, and it was only a matter of time before they combusted.
First Cassie and Sebastian, then Noah and Merry, and now Eloise and Adrian, Eva has made it really hard to choose a favorite couple from this series! We also get to see the changes in Rome throughout this book, leaving us with questions as to why, and I’m sure his book is going to be a heartbreaker.
