Us (L & J #3)
by Emily Eck
Told from dual points of view, Elle and J must figure out how to bring down an MC, steer clear of flying bullets in Missouri and south of the border, all the while making sure Fernie is out of the line of fire. Elle's love for J is tested, as is her belief that she will ever find "normal" with the man she loves. J is determined to make things right so he can give Elle the "normal" life she deserves. He just has to stay alive to make it happen. With his own personal sun by his side, he knows nothing is impossible. That is, until the bullets are redirected from his head to Elle's.
Elle: I held my hand up, showing him the ring he’d put on me. “This is us,” I told him. It was more than a ring. Well, to me it was more. “I promise to love you ‘til the day I die.”
J:"Us, baby. This is us. I'll love you 'til the sun ceases to shine."
I finished
Melted & Shattered and wasn't 100% sure how J was going to handle that
ending. It happened out of nowhere. I was chilling on my couch when J literally
roared in my head. This is what he said.
Light – She's filled with it. I want it. I need it. I crave it. Her light is my drug, and I am in a constant state of withdrawal when she isn't around.
Rewind – I may not have been there while Elle was falling apart, but I always had eyes on her. More importantly, I never stopped thinking of her, loving her. She's the reason I'm in the middle of a drug war. She's the reason I'm in Mexico staring in the eyes of a drug cartel boss.
Press Play – I'd tear the world apart for Elle, and I just might have to after what happened in the park. I won't stop until she is safe. I won't sleep until she is next to me.
Because if she dies--
so do I.

J Roars (2.5)
J Roars (2.5)
I felt the need to include J Roars review because I had not read and/or reviewed it until now. Please note that J Roars is 2.5 in the series and you must read this series in order to get the whole story. I really liked J Roars. I gave it 4 stars. I love hearing J’s point of view on everything and how he plays things out in his head, and how he feels.
Elle is J’s sun, she is his drug, and he is addicted to her. What steps will he take to make her safe again and have her in his arms? If she is dead, he may as well be too. Without his sun, he will always be in the dark. Stay tuned for book 3, Us to get the final chapter of L&J!
Us (#3)
Elle & J are trying to solve how to bring down
head of an MC. Are they safer in Mexico
or Missouri? Will he be able to keep her safe and give her a normal life? Will Elle’s glowing sunshine be enough to
help lead J into happiness?
Will Elle be able to maintain safety for one of her
most beloved cubs? Fernie is brought
back into the picture. Will he be able
to step up and be a man or is he truly one of Elle’s cubs that she “mothers?”
I really liked Us and was sad to
say that this was the end to L&J’s story.
I gave it 4 stars because yes I got my HEA but only partially. I wanted to know more at the end and I’m
guessing that will lead into the next book that leads into Chris’ story. I love how the story goes back and forth from
Elle and J each telling their version of what’s going on. It lets you get into both their heads to know
what each one is thinking and their perception of their environment. I don’t want to give away name and characters
to give spoilers, but I wanted to mention that some of Elle’s favorite books
are mentioned in this book. I personally
have not read Kristen Ashley’s Dream Man series, but after the comments about
that series, I must read it, plus my cousin is a huge fan.

After coming from a snowy climate, Emily and the animals are loving the sun Mexico has to offer each and every day. Vices include Swedish Fish, ignoring chores in favor of reading, and caring too much for people in her life. She chose to write this bio in third person as she is an Aries, and found writing in first person ended up with her writing an excessively long life story. Aries like to talk about themselves. It is something Emily is working on being more mindful of. You can contact her on any of the social media platforms below and she will respond, as her mom gave her the gift of gab.
