Summary
Ryke Meadows， meet Daisy Calloway 。。。 she’s all grown up。
Twenty-five-year-old Ryke Meadows knows he’s hard to love。 With a billion-dollar inheritance， a track-star resume， and an alpha-male personality—he redefines the term likable asshole。 But he’s not living to make friends。 Or enemies。 He just wants to free climb three of the toughest mountains in Yosemite without drama or interruption。
And then he receives a distressed call from a girl in Paris—a girl that he has never been allowed to have。
Daisy Calloway is eighteen。 Finally。 With her newfound independence， she can say goodbye to her overbearing mother and continue her modeling career。 Next stop， Paris。 Fashion Week begins with a bang， and Daisy uncovers the ugly reality of the industry。 She wants to prove to her family that she can live on her own， but when everything spirals out of control， she turns to Ryke to keep her secrets。
As Daisy struggles to make sense of this new world and her freedom， she pushes the limits and fearlessly rides the edge。 Ryke knows there’s deep hurt beneath every impulsive action。 He must keep up with Daisy， and if he lets her go， her favorite motto—“live as if you’ll die today”—may just come true。

I love Ryke and Daisy， but like the last three books there were just moments where i felt like the book was so long and I was just ready to move on lol。 I think if it were slightly more condensed I would have liked it more but overall no specific complaints， I love their story！！

this was one of the better books in the series。 i’ll be honest， i don’t like daisy and ryke as a couple。 it makes me fee icky every time they mention their ages。 however， as individuals， i like them。 kinda。 me and daisy like this🤞🏼 my heart breaks for her and she deserves only the best。 ryke on the other hand… for a journalism major it’s embarrassing how he can barely form a coherent sentence without the f word。 he’s kinda cool。 on thin ice though。

It was going okay untill she saw him going down on another woman while they were " apart hooking up with other people " due to his suggestion 💀 and took him back the next day because it took him screwing other women and her seeing it for him to realize he wanted her ， big throw off big ick 。。 idk what the hype is about this man he's not it at all ， plus he basically groomed her 。 It was going okay untill she saw him going down on another woman while they were " apart hooking up with other people " due to his suggestion 💀 and took him back the next day because it took him screwing other women and her seeing it for him to realize he wanted her ， big throw off big ick 。。 idk what the hype is about this man he's not it at all ， plus he basically groomed her 。 。。。more

im growing more and more attached to this series， it’s probably not healthy。 anyways i love love raisy。 the way ryke was the only one ever there for daisy is insane。 this man flew to paris just for her… like wth。 my girl daisy deserves so much and more。 i hate how she would brush her trauma away just to not be a burden。 i love her so so much and seeing her grow was what i needed。no bcus im so excited to see rose and lily’s pregnancy together。 i might literally cry ， i love the calloway sisters s im growing more and more attached to this series， it’s probably not healthy。 anyways i love love raisy。 the way ryke was the only one ever there for daisy is insane。 this man flew to paris just for her… like wth。 my girl daisy deserves so much and more。 i hate how she would brush her trauma away just to not be a burden。 i love her so so much and seeing her grow was what i needed。no bcus im so excited to see rose and lily’s pregnancy together。 i might literally cry ， i love the calloway sisters so much。also， seeing ryke and lo’s brotherhood grow was the best thing ever。 ryke has done sm for lo’s addiction。 “my hothouse that i will always keep alive” “my life had no meaning until i decided to turn around and meet my brother” “you’re my favorite four letter word”“none of us are really normal。 we’re all just strange pieces in the world。” 。。。more

prob closer to 2 stars than 1 but i cant bring myself to give it that much credit these characters are literal fucking maggots bc as shittily and awfully they are being written they have quite simply infested my heart and will not leavehowever i will stand by my belief that krista and becca ritchie are just men under pen names because there is no way a fucking woman （and 2 at that） are romanticising half the shit that they have in the past 2 booksevery plotline is either fucked up， uncomfortable prob closer to 2 stars than 1 but i cant bring myself to give it that much credit these characters are literal fucking maggots bc as shittily and awfully they are being written they have quite simply infested my heart and will not leavehowever i will stand by my belief that krista and becca ritchie are just men under pen names because there is no way a fucking woman （and 2 at that） are romanticising half the shit that they have in the past 2 booksevery plotline is either fucked up， uncomfortable， eye roll inducing， or all of the above except when lilly is involved bless her heart i love her so so muchconnor can fucking rot in hell though i hope he gets killed off the books would improve tenfold 。。。more

"my hothouse flower that i will always keep alive" i enjoyed the book， i really did。 the fast pace of it was amazing too， one minute i was 20% into it then i was 60% into it but i hate daisy and ryke。 i've read book where the character is 18 and the age gap but when they meet when she was 15？？ and the only excuse was that she looks older than she is？ like no。 i would've loved ryke and daisy and i did find myself smiling at some parts when i forgot abt the ages but like。 this could've been so avo "my hothouse flower that i will always keep alive" i enjoyed the book， i really did。 the fast pace of it was amazing too， one minute i was 20% into it then i was 60% into it but i hate daisy and ryke。 i've read book where the character is 18 and the age gap but when they meet when she was 15？？ and the only excuse was that she looks older than she is？ like no。 i would've loved ryke and daisy and i did find myself smiling at some parts when i forgot abt the ages but like。 this could've been so avoided just by daisy being older， even being twins with lily， not even identical just twins。 it would've been fine， the modelling still could've been a thing and it could of been avoided but she was 15。 15 when ryke met her。 i would've loved ryke and daisy if it weren't for this， just like i love lily and lo and rose and conner but being of the age gap and the scenario i just cant love them :/。 really the only reason why it's three stars and not lower is because of the others。 plus the camping trip was fucking too hilarious。 i love this series a lot， and i've fallen in love with all of characters， but if i could skip ryke and daisy's books， i would。 。。。more

4。5 stars！！！ Missed Raisy sm！！！ Loved the chemistry， the dynamic and banter。 It was a bit slow at the beginning but once I got into it I loved seeing how deeply they care for one another and how much they needed each other。 Ngl Loren Hale as always was my fave part of the book 🙃 seeing him struggling with his addiction hurt so bad and the rebuilding of his relationship with Ryke…omg BROKE MY HEART！！！ There is a part of my that still thinks the idea of Ryke having feelings for Daisy when she was 4。5 stars！！！ Missed Raisy sm！！！ Loved the chemistry， the dynamic and banter。 It was a bit slow at the beginning but once I got into it I loved seeing how deeply they care for one another and how much they needed each other。 Ngl Loren Hale as always was my fave part of the book 🙃 seeing him struggling with his addiction hurt so bad and the rebuilding of his relationship with Ryke…omg BROKE MY HEART！！！ There is a part of my that still thinks the idea of Ryke having feelings for Daisy when she was a minor is low-key creepy BUT you can see how much he deeply cared for her。 Forgot how emotional this book was especially the last 20% ugh a good few scenes had me tearing up so bad 🥹🥺。 Anyways loved it the second time round hehehe 。。。more

Ahhh this book was so good and I just sped through it！ I was super surprised that I ended up really liking Daisy and Ryke together considering their age gap at first was meh （and kinda ew） to me。 Also， this might be super crazy of me to say but I actually kinda like Daisy and Ryke more than Connor and Rose。 Idk I think I just really like books where characters get together as opposed to books where their already together （sorry Rose and Connor and Lily and Lo）。 Anyway， this book was amazing and Ahhh this book was so good and I just sped through it！ I was super surprised that I ended up really liking Daisy and Ryke together considering their age gap at first was meh （and kinda ew） to me。 Also， this might be super crazy of me to say but I actually kinda like Daisy and Ryke more than Connor and Rose。 Idk I think I just really like books where characters get together as opposed to books where their already together （sorry Rose and Connor and Lily and Lo）。 Anyway， this book was amazing and I can’t wait to see what’s more with the six！！ 。。。more

Said “I love you” on page 2; only approximately 3 sentences of tension and banter before getting together; age gap is weird as fuck。 They were better in the other books。

Maybe a 3。75 ？？ Ryke and daisy were not my favorite to read about and daisy actually annoys me a lot so does ryke。 Def my least fav couple out of the lily/lo and rose/conner。 This was okay though and i did eat some parts up。 The like “brute” and “bluntness” aspect of Rykes personality was too much for me by the end of the book it got annoying。 Still dont really like their relationship。

I both listened to and read this book and I honestly think if I only read it I would have enjoyed it more but the female narrators voice was just so irritating as Daisy。 Also not a huge fan of such toxic parents continuing to have a part in their kids lives。 Samantha should have been cut off immediately。 All their parents tbh。
