The second and final book in the Debt of Passion duet by CoraLee June continues with Hunter and Roe’s story. After the cliff-hanger in A Lovely Obsession, I jumped right into this book and finished it in almost one sitting. Man oh man, this one is angsty AF. I enjoyed this was much more than the first book! Or rather, it’s much more up my alley. I love angsty, second chance romances. I eat that shit up.

Ironically, the story flips and Roe pretty much becomes the stalker this time around. Gotta love a girl who knows what she wants ya know? Oh Hunter, what made you think you two would be able to forget each other?? You can’t outrun that kind of connection. 

I cried, I laughed, I had anxiety. So many emotions were felt in this book! I was also proud. Roe really comes into her own and isn’t running away from relationships like she’s always had. She’s running toward them. She’s fighting for them. It’ll be a cold day in Hell before she gives up on Hunter. 

This book was much more climactic than the first book. The story line was more intense and the plot twists were even crazier. If you haven’t finished the series yet, get going on this one! It’s easily one of my top 10 reads of 2022.

A Lovely Confession Quotes

A Lovely Confession Blurb

Sometimes, I wondered if he was real. 
Our time together was short, but it left a lasting impression on me. 
I’m older now. Wiser, too. 

Five years have passed, and I still can’t get him off my mind. 
Hunter was cruel, angry, and protective. 
I learned his secrets and he fled. 

The day he left, I vowed to find him. 
I guess now I have an obsession of my own: 

Track down Hunter Hammond and make him mine.

What an incredible conclusion to Roe and Hunter’s story! I loved this book and the emotional roller coaster that came with it. And I love CoraLee’s writing. She’s definitely an auto-buy author for me now! If you like romantic suspense with some damn good spice sprinkled in and a good dash of angst and yearning, this duet is for you. Let me know in the comments if you’ve read these books!

What can I say, I’m a sucker for a happy ending and this second book in Micalea Smeltzer’s Wildflower Duet, The Resurrection of Wildflowers, gives us just that. This was a swoon-worthy wrap-up to Thayer and Salem’s story and a good second chance romance book. I’m personally a fan of the time-jump/reunite trope. I mean you’re essentially getting the slow burn twice! How can you not enjoy that??

Anywho, while I enjoyed the ending, there is one blaring beacon of pure annoyance in this book. Salem hides their daughter from Thayer for five whole freaking years. This pissed me off. Yes, Thayer was in a bad place at the end of the first book but that doesn’t justify hiding a full-blown human being from someone. Ugh, I wouldn’t be able to forgive that one.

Also, what happened to Thayer and his rugged, grumpy self?? I feel like this whole book was of him groveling and professing his love for Salem over and over and over again. I missed his personality from the first book. Gimmie a little bit of grumpy Thayer!

Has there been any talks about Caleb getting his own book? I need to research this. Caleb is a good guy and he deserves all the love in the world. I would pick that book up in a heartbeat!

While this duology wasn’t my favorite, it’s decent. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll probably throw your kindle across the room, but overall, you’ll enjoy the story.

Favorite Quotes

The Resurrection of Wildflowers Blurb

It took me a while to learn that sometimes no matter how much, or how hard you love someone, or something, you have to let them go. You can’t save a sinking ship.

Sometimes, you have someone else you have to be strong for, who needs you more.

You make a choice.

A devastating one.

And you hope, maybe one day, they’ll come back to you.
