Summary

Devil
They call me Devil。
But I’m haunted by the deaths I’ve caused。
That’s why I’ve hidden who I am。
A failure。
I control everything or I fight to block it out。
If I don’t care, I don’t lose。
But my defenses don’t work on Ellie。
I saved her once。 Now she’s learning to save herself。
If only teaching her how didn’t test my control。
She’s my friend’s sister。
Warm。 Light。 Innocent。
That’s what I need to remember。
All I want is to fuel my angel’s desire。

Ellie
He calls me angel。
But I’m no one’s saving grace。
I hate what I am。
A victim。
I lost so much before Devil found me。
And I’m afraid of losing what’s left。
But fear made me a coward。
He saved me then。 Now he’s teaching me to save myself。
If only he didn’t make me lose control。
He’s my brother’s friend。
Cold。 Dark。 Forbidden。
That’s what he wants me to think。
All I want is to feel Devil’s burn。

I should have read the first novel。 The author states you don’t have to read the first to understand the second, but it did take me a few to realize what was going on。 Other than that, I enjoyed it despite it taking me forever to read 😭 It was a great book all around。 However, I personally didn’t connect with the characters as much as I wanted to。 And for me to fully get sucked in, I have to connect。 If secret missions, brothers best friend, and steamy training sessions are your thing, then yes I should have read the first novel。 The author states you don’t have to read the first to understand the second, but it did take me a few to realize what was going on。 Other than that, I enjoyed it despite it taking me forever to read 😭 It was a great book all around。 However, I personally didn’t connect with the characters as much as I wanted to。 And for me to fully get sucked in, I have to connect。 If secret missions, brothers best friend, and steamy training sessions are your thing, then yes pick this one up。 。。。more

I received an arc copy of this book from the author and let me just say if you like slow burn age gap romances with a good plot this is for you。 This is the second book in a series but it could also be a standalone。 It's spicy without being overkill。 Trigger warning。。。does deal with assault and trafficking but not in a gratuitous way。。。。。it absolutely sets the scene for the plot。 I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to read thr 3rd in the series!

Do you believe in ghosts?This is not a typical romance, and the names of the lovers resonate with it。 They went through hell to find some semblance of heaven, and they had the help of angels, wether real or just in their heads。I felt involved and afraid, I got really invested。 So many situations to make you wonder "what would I do?" We all suffer loss and pain in life, but some things are so tragic and unfair that I damn well hope they will some day never happen again。 Getting in the head of vic Do you believe in ghosts?This is not a typical romance, and the names of the lovers resonate with it。 They went through hell to find some semblance of heaven, and they had the help of angels, wether real or just in their heads。I felt involved and afraid, I got really invested。 So many situations to make you wonder "what would I do?"

Dang it, Greer。。。 You done ruined me again with another one that is a steamy *chef's kiss*。 After the events unfolded in Escaping Conviction, we pick up with Ellie being found by Dev and literally run with her story。 This storyline is a little more slow burn compared to the last but still steamy and spicy in all the right ways。 There's an age gap and a bit of the "brother's best friend" trope but ultimately, this love story revolves around a not-so-evil Devil and a not-so-innocent Angel and when Dang it, Greer。。。 You done ruined me again with another one that is a steamy *chef's kiss*。 After the events unfolded in Escaping Conviction, we pick up with Ellie being found by Dev and literally run with her story。 This storyline is a little more slow burn compared to the last but still steamy and spicy in all the right ways。 There's an age gap and a bit of the "brother's best friend" trope but ultimately, this love story revolves around a not-so-evil Devil and a not-so-innocent Angel and when they accept their fate and learn to fight, sparks are igniting everywhere。 I absolutely love the tribute to Sasha, the way everyone handles and trains each other when it comes to trauma survivors, and the multiple perspectives narrative。 In my personal history, the second of any series is usually a pale comparison to the first but Greer got it right the first and second time with this series。 I cannot wait to read the next one because I believe history repeats itself and a third installment with the quality of the first two would be the icing on the cake。 *I was given an advanced reader copy in return for an honest review。 The author did not purchase my review or persuade me in any way。 These thoughts and words are my own。* 。。。more

Fighting Conviction is the much-awaited story of Ellie, the sister of the hero (Jason) from book one in this series (Escaping Conviction)。 During the first book, Ellie is kidnapped along with her best friend and multiple other girls/women around her age (18)。 While the first book tells the tale of her experiences with the kidnappers, in addition to Jason's attempts at rescuing her, the second book is about her PTSD and healing journey。 We follow Ellie through the period of a few months around th Fighting Conviction is the much-awaited story of Ellie, the sister of the hero (Jason) from book one in this series (Escaping Conviction)。 During the first book, Ellie is kidnapped along with her best friend and multiple other girls/women around her age (18)。 While the first book tells the tale of her experiences with the kidnappers, in addition to Jason's attempts at rescuing her, the second book is about her PTSD and healing journey。 We follow Ellie through the period of a few months around the anniversary of her kidnapping。 We still see some behind the scenes interactions to clue us into the goings-on of the kidnappers, and we also get POV from Ellie, as well as the hero, Devil。 Devil was on Jason's elite military team, and since Jason has since signed on with their team's security firm, they're now co-workers。 Jason is dealing with his own stuff in his personal life, so he asks Devil to take over the responsibility of teaching Ellie self-defense。 It's clear that Devil and Ellie both have feelings for each other, but Ellie is drowning in her PTSD。 It's affecting her life in every single aspect and she's not taking care of herself。 Devil wants to stay away from her because he knows he shouldn't feel the way he does about her。。。 but self-defense training kind of ruins that plan。 Despite his attempts at keeping his distance, they keep getting pulled together, and really, you want them to。 There's an age gap that can be a bit frustrating -- her 18 turning 19 to his 27。 It's not something Rivers took lightly and is a subject in the book。 Rivers does a fantastic job of depicting Ellie's PTSD, as well as making room for her feelings -- the good, the bad, and the ugly。 You root for Ellie。 You want her to get better。 Her college roommate Virginia is also a shining star in the book who helps Ellie even when Ellie doesn't want to be helped。 And Devil。。。 sigh。 While the age gap is a difficult issue when dealing with an 18 year old, Devil is not preying on Ellie in any way。 His intentions are not at all nefarious。 He genuinely cares for her, loves her, and wants what is best for her。 These are all reasons he tries to stay away from her。 In the end of course, they both want each other。 Fighting Conviction is jam-packed with action and has plenty of spice。 However, something that we really appreciated was that Rivers allowed time for Ellie。 While she and Devil clearly have feelings for each other, he isn't pressuring her into physical intimacy that she may not be ready for。 It's a great book, full of characters that are quirky, funny, and strong。 We highly recommend that you read this series in order, starting with Escaping Conviction so you can get the whole picture。 We received an ARC copy of Fighting Conviction to review for our podcast。 You can listen to our full episode here:https://anchor。fm/chicklitbookclubpod。。。 。。。more

I couldn’t put the book down once I started reading it。 Greer did such a great job with this one。 You will not want to miss this one。 I can’t wait to read the next series。 I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review。

Jessica

An amazing age gap and brothers friend romance novel。 I love how their love story grew with each encounter。 How Devil and Ellie helped each other overcome challenges and trauma。 I love how Dev was her knight in shinning armor and helped her grow into a strong woman。 I also love the character development of the rest of the characters in the book and can’t wait to read more about the rest of them!

Becky

Oh what a great book! Absolutely loved these two, they both helped each other from their painful past。 I cannot wait for the next book in the series!

A great second book in the series, I love knowing what happened to the characters after book one。 I was definitely more invested in the main love interests in this book than I was in the previous book。 I also felt like we didn’t get as much of the mystery as we did the romance in this one。 I feel like this book was more about romance, about healing, and gave us a few more steps towards our overall mystery。The raw emotions that happened during this book were so well written。 I got emotional multi A great second book in the series, I love knowing what happened to the characters after book one。 I was definitely more invested in the main love interests in this book than I was in the previous book。 I also felt like we didn’t get as much of the mystery as we did the romance in this one。 I feel like this book was more about romance, about healing, and gave us a few more steps towards our overall mystery。The raw emotions that happened during this book were so well written。 I got emotional multiple times with our female main character。 I think her and the main male character worked so well together。 I really enjoyed this book。 I didn’t think the age gap was that big, so for those who aren’t really into these type of books, it’s only an eight year age difference, nothing that crazy。I already guessed who our next love interest will be for book 3 early in this book so I’m looking forward to reading about them and finding out more about the overall mystery。I would probably rate this book more of a 4 or 4。5 but because I did get emotional a few times during some scenes I’m going to round it up。 。。。more

I read this book in three hours。 A few pages in I was a little wary because let’s face it: age-gap stories can get a little iffy at times。 But the way the author wrote this story with a marvelous character development, an interesting plot and loveable characters I was able to look past the age-gap thing。 Honestly, it’s not too big of a deal to the story anyway。 The sex scenes are flirtatious and fun, intense and intriguing。 I love how protective Devil is and how much he wants Ellie to do well。 H I read this book in three hours。 A few pages in I was a little wary because let’s face it: age-gap stories can get a little iffy at times。 But the way the author wrote this story with a marvelous character development, an interesting plot and loveable characters I was able to look past the age-gap thing。 Honestly, it’s not too big of a deal to the story anyway。 The sex scenes are flirtatious and fun, intense and intriguing。 I love how protective Devil is and how much he wants Ellie to do well。 His love for her is touching, albeit at times a little frustrating as he refuses to allow Ellie to grow。 Ellie’s struggle to overcome her trauma is intense。 The flashbacks are sad and her reactions to triggers is very realistic。 I really felt her。 Overall the book was fantastic, just like first one and I can’t wait to read the next installment!I received this book for free in return for an honest review。 。。。more

Heather Kerby

Greer tackles some pretty heavy topics in this series of interconnected standalones。 She does this with understanding the seriousness of these topics while creating a love story that allows for a HEA。 It is rare I come across an author who has the ability to do this。Dev and Ellie are two sides of the same coin and the way they are able to balance and ground each other is pivotal to their relationship。 This is a wonderful second book to the Convixtion series。

Another knock out by Greer! You will not be disappointed with Ellie and Dev’s story。 Ellie’s continued growth as she is learning to process and heal from her traumas while Devil is trying to decide if having emotional ties to another human is worth the risk add perfectly to the brother’s best friend/age gap dilemma they are already facing。 This results in the impeccable mix that is the attraction to each other。 And the spicy scenes are sure to leave you wanting more!

The second installment in the Conviction series has been the best book in the series so far。 With terrific characters and a riveting plotline, the series is continuing strong。Ellie is a great female protagonist that shows real trauma and how to deal with it。 She struggles and has her moments and it makes her all the more real。The book was good, but there were points where to didn't hold my attention, and I had to stop reading and come back to it。 The second installment in the Conviction series has been the best book in the series so far。 With terrific characters and a riveting plotline, the series is continuing strong。Ellie is a great female protagonist that shows real trauma and how to deal with it。 She struggles and has her moments and it makes her all the more real。The book was good, but there were points where to didn't hold my attention, and I had to stop reading and come back to it。 。。。more

Women love when men say "good girl"。 Dev is no exception。  I  didn't think it could get better than the first book。  I was wrong。  Ellie is still traumatized by everything that happened with being kidnapped and her best friend being murdered。 Dev is helping her to not have panic attacks and shut everyone out。 He is put in charge of giving her lessons to better help protect herself if she gets attacked again。 She still keeps Sasha's spirit alive。 Having donuts in the tree house ❤。Chapter 21 is 🔥。 Women love when men say "good girl"。 Dev is no exception。  I  didn't think it could get better than the first book。  I was wrong。  Ellie is still traumatized by everything that happened with being kidnapped and her best friend being murdered。 Dev is helping her to not have panic attacks and shut everyone out。 He is put in charge of giving her lessons to better help protect herself if she gets attacked again。 She still keeps Sasha's spirit alive。 Having donuts in the tree house ❤。Chapter 21 is 🔥。But there is so much more it this story than spice。 They both learn to grieve the past and death of friends and move forward in life and love。  。。。more

I'm a little on the fence with this book, mostly because part of the problem was my own fault。 I saw brother's best friend and age gap and went right in without thinking about the fact that it was book 2 in a series。 Not that I don't read series out of order all the time, but this book should definitely be read after the previous one。 But at the same time a lot of the issues I had with the story didn't come from the fact that I was reading out of order。 It was hard to connect with these characte I'm a little on the fence with this book, mostly because part of the problem was my own fault。 I saw brother's best friend and age gap and went right in without thinking about the fact that it was book 2 in a series。 Not that I don't read series out of order all the time, but this book should definitely be read after the previous one。 But at the same time a lot of the issues I had with the story didn't come from the fact that I was reading out of order。 It was hard to connect with these characters and I honestly just didn't see the chemistry between them。 They had some hot scenes but overall there was a lot of back and forth from them, to the ongoing story of human-trafficking, to just Ellie living her life and trying to move on from past tragedy。 And it didn't all come together too well for me。 Overall, I think the premise was interesting and had a lot of potential but in the end I just don't think the book was for me。  。。。more
