“Don’t have a best friend that’s a girl” — this was the advice from my older cousin. I didn’t take it. Because he followed with, “friends don’t f*ck friends. And you’ll want to f*ck her.”

It was terrible advice.

My cousin should’ve told me that being best friends with Baylee Wright — since she was twelve — would be the best and worst decision of my life.

He should have told me to protect her from what was coming.

He should have told me that when a darkness crawled towards us, there’d be no safety net.

Now I’ve signed back on to the same Vegas acrobatic show as Baylee, working together for the first time in years. And she tells me that she’s having trouble in a certain “area” of her life — because of our past.

“You can help me fix it,” she says.

And then she hands me a list.

*Recommended for readers 18+ for mature content.*

Luka Kotova is introduced in Amour Amour, and Infini takes place in the same acrobatic world. However, it’s not necessary to read Amour Amour prior to Infini

Review

5 stars!

“Some love is infinite.”

Infini transports us back to the amazing Aerial Ethereal Universe and I loved every emotional detail of this book. This riveting love story was more than a just a wonderful forbidden, second-chance romance. The relationships between family and friends were captivating and the storyline was intriguing with turns I didn’t see coming. The entire story felt real. I could imagine everything clearly in my mind. From the actions and decisions, to the emotions I felt. Not wanting it to end, I found myself reading at a slower than usual pace savoring each and every word.

Infini is about Luka Kostova and Baylee Wright. They have a history together and their lives have never been the same since an incident over 4.5 years ago.  Now, there’s a whole lot of change happening in the Vegas circus scene and none of it seems to be good. Things are tense. A shattered love fights to be reborn but a promise from long ago threatens everything. A promise that broke their hearts in the first place.

I terminate a friendship. A thousand peaceful moments. And the possibility of a happy ending.

Once upon a time, no one knew them better than each other, but now, Baylee and Luka don’t know where they stand.

Years…have separated us, and maybe in that time Luka Kostova changed. Maybe he’s less the boy I loved, and he’s now become a man I’d hate.

What happens when Baylee and Luka find themselves in the same production for the first time since everything went down?

I loved Infini! The book sent adrenaline coursing through my body every step of the way. It was exciting, intense, emotional, angsty, and beautiful. I needed to know what happened but didn’t want to rush through it.  This gorgeous romance will make you believe in true and everlasting love.

I adored both Baylee and Luka. They are fantastically written, with amazing depth and personality. I was so invested in Baylee and Luka that I couldn’t contain my feelings. I screamed, cried, and hurt for them. But I also smiled, swooned, and loved right along with them. I felt so much for them that I couldn’t detach myself from their world. They got under my skin and I now have a book hangover that I just can’t shake.

Baylee and Luka love fiercely and when they are together it’s intense, all-consuming, and gorgeous. Their love runs deeper than you can imagine and their story more complicated than you could have guessed. They are so selfless and caring that they warmed my heart with everything they did. But the pain they suffered is almost too much to bear and when they can’t be together, it was devastating.

I loved that though they each have their own inner demons to fight, they never kept secrets from the other. They were perfect for each other and I loved the support and understanding they gave one another.

Our…issues predate our friendship. They existed when we were together. They persisted when we separated. And they’re here right now. Living inside of us. They will rise and fade but never truly go away. There is no quick-fix or cure—but we deal. Every day, we silently deal with it, but facing our demons with support has always been easier than facing them alone.

Baylee was beautiful inside and out. Her heart was pure and there wasn’t a thing I didn’t love about her. Luka is a “go with the flow” kind of guy but he is the opposite inside, so full of feelings and he continued to make me swoon and fall deeper in love with him with every turn of the page. He was so sure of his love and its depth that I couldn’t not feel his love for Baylee.

“All I know is what I feel. And I’m in love with you, Bay. Right now. Not just five years ago—but here, today. Yesterday. Tomorrow. It’s forever kind of love, and I’m not letting go. I can’t let go.”

*SWOOOOOOOOON*

When they are together, the sexual tension is palpable and their chemistry undeniable. The forbidden aspect makes everything feel that much more heightened and angsty. I hated that they had to fight their feelings and were unable to confide in anyone. It hurt to see them go through the pain. However, in the end, all the pain and heartache was worth it in order to have a beautiful love like the one between Baylee and Luka.

I have lived partially. Halfly. Incompletely.
To be whole, I did not know until my bones thundered and bellowed for more.
I am whole and happy.
And this is more.

I love the entire Aerial Ethereal troupe. Through even the roughest of patches, the relationships between family and friends is amazing. They were born into this life and thus they all understand what they go through. This story proved the importance of family and friendships, and their support and unconditional love. Overall, a fantastic addition to the Aerial Etheral series!

Excerpt

When I was eleven, he told me that fucking anyone who works for AE is like swimming in a “polluted pussy ocean”—his ineloquent way of saying: extremely dangerous. And in some cases for our careers, fatal.

I didn’t listen to his advice.

I usually don’t.

I straighten off the door frame. “Speaking of that other roommate…” I can’t even say her name. I think of B. Wright and all of my muscles tense.
