Blurb

Some things are meant to be; some aren’t.

I never thought this would be my life.
I never believed I could feel this way.

I don’t know where to go from here.
I never want to be anywhere else.

My whole world has changed.
She is my whole world.

I’m not sure how to be me again.
I’ve never felt more like myself.

I’ve never needed anyone, but I need him.
I love her. I’ll always love her.

But is our love enough? Can Levi and I really survive this?
Together, Ivy and I can survive anything.

Review

4.5 stars!

The world wasn’t fair. It wasn’t fair at all. But sometimes…sometimes, it paid you back.

I have been eagerly anticipating the finale of the Stone Cold Fox Trilogy so when Fox arrived on my kindle I dropped everything and dove right in. It picks up immediately after Cold and the prologue is crushing. The first emotion I felt when I was devastation. I knew it would be an emotional ride and I was expecting heartache; however, I wasn’t prepared for how much happiness I’d feel as well before I even reached the end.

I adored Ivy from the beginning. She’s talented and puts her all into things. Caring and sweet to the core, she deserved to be happy, and when an unimaginable tragedy turns her life upside down, I cried real tears for her. Ivy’s vulnerability made her human, and the turmoil, guilt, and pain that consumes her felt so real that I experienced the emotions full force.

I caught myself just before the corner of my mouth could curve up. A hint of happiness, a glimpse into the past. The crushing blow of reality was almost soul-destroying.
I wasn’t ready to smile.
I didn’t deserve to smile.

I can’t even imagine what she is going through and I wanted to take her pain away. She is so strong, though, and with the support of key people in her life she is able to handle the pain.

Somewhere along the way, I’d gotten lost in the floundering fight to be strong. But standing strong didn’t mean you couldn’t use the muscle of another person to do it.
And Levi had muscles in spades.

Levi is fantastic in this book. Swoonier, sweeter, and sexier than ever before and I couldn’t have loved him more. He is Ivy’s rock, providing unwavering support, and he proves his love over and over again.  I fell for him harder with everything he does and loved that we get to see how big his heart is.

From this moment on, I was a man at her disposal. I’d be her punching bag when she needed and her shoulder to cry on when she allowed. For her, I vowed to be anything and everything. Always.

Talk about a total swoonfest! I melted every time Levi was around. I couldn’t stop highlighting every sweet thing that ran through his head or came out of his mouth.

Ivy Stone was my whole fucking world.
We’d been through so fucking much.
We’d had to deal with so much.
But one constant had always remained—I loved this woman madly.

Levi and Ivy hand over their hearts and give each other everything. They complement one another so well and I really enjoyed seeing Ivy and Levi work through the heartbreak together. They are a team in this book, a united force that refuses to let the tragedy ruin them.

From fighting to kissing to fighting and kissing.
From heartbreak and turmoil to love and adoration.
From absolute devastation to tiny miracles.
Somehow, someway, we’d managed to get here.

Even though there is overwhelming sadness, there are plenty of fun moments with entertaining banter laced throughout to lighten the mood. The sexy time will make you hot and bothered, the sweet moments will make you swoon, the happiness and joy will soothe your soul, and their unending love will make happy tears fall from your eyes.

“I love you,” he whispered against my lips. “I love you more than I knew it was even possible to love someone. And every day, that love keeps growing. You’re my heart, Ivy. My whole fucking heart.”

Fox is not as angsty as the other books, but it was no less entertaining or emotional. There were twists that were jaw dropping and I experienced everything alongside the characters as the story took turns I didn’t see coming. I had trouble wrapping my head around it all and I felt the devastation, anger, pain, surprise, fear, elation, and so much more. The beginning will gut you but I loved that every part of this story slowly pieced my heart back together. I haven’t cried so many happy tears while reading a book in a long time. The feels are all over the place and I loved them all. It was perfect and my heart was so much more full than I thought possible when it came to these two characters. They’ve had more than their share of heart ache but in the end their life is beautiful.

Life had thrown us some serious punches. Some life-altering obstacles.
And there were days where it almost felt like too much to handle.
But life had also given us this.
These special moments.
These amazing people.
This sometimes chaotic and messy, but always beautiful, life together.
We were blessed.

Overall, Fox is an amazing conclusion to the Stone Cold Fox Trilogy and I loved it!
