Summary:

My secret’s out. Reed knows the truth.

The destruction’s done. There’s no taking it back. 

Reed took all my firsts like a shiny present. He made promises with silky words I greedily kept as truths. But the moment I faltered, he took away everything. 

Now we’re both guilty of sins.

As we come together for Grandfather Ian’s funeral, it’s time to face what I’ve done—what we’ve done. The boy I’ve loved since age eight is now a man; his rage palpable, his turquoise eyes piercing me with an intensity that sets me on fire. Each delicious kiss seems to peel away our ugly past- a past we’re desperate to escape.

They say forgiveness comes from within. Can I trust him to forgive me? Have we both been enlightened?

I used to believe in the fantasy of a happily ever after. Trouble is my life’s not a fairy tale. 


The Enlightened is second in The Entitled duet.

My Thoughts:

(Spoiler free)

I have been eagerly waiting for this book to come out since I read the first one because I was dying to know what was going to happen with Tess and Read. This one was just as packed with just even more emotion than the first one.

This book picks up were the last one left us. One of the things that I loved about this book was how we got some glimpses into the past.

Reed… you made me want to strangle you. I get that Tess made some mistakes, but I think he could have handled it just a little better.

I loved the character development they these two had. I mean they both fell to rock bottom and we got to see how their lives were apart and it wasn’t anything like what it was when they were together.

I would love to see Jax have his own story because the name alone remines of Jax from Sons of Anarchy and loved him on that show.

All an all this was a great conclusion to these two. I can’t wait to see where the series goes next.
