Dużo seksu i żyli długo i szczęśliwie. Zabrakło mi chociaż wzmianki o najlepszym ziemskim przyjacielu Rileya. Tak jakoś został zupełnie zapomniany, szkoda bo byłam ciekawa zakończenia jego historii z aniołem :)

This was EVERYTHING AND MORE!! Riley, Jai, Noel and GIDEON are everything and just yeah EVERYTHING!! I loved everything about this book and just consumed it, this made me laugh, made me cry and just feel all the emotions because these four own me! I could easily read five more books of just all these kind of moments between them all and be completely and utterly happy.

Ehrlich gesagt war ich etwas enttäuscht? 😅
Ich habe die ruhigen Momente sehr geliebt, ich bin unglaublich glücklich, dass unsere Lieben ihr Happy End bekommen haben, aber ich hätte wirklich nicht so viele Smut Szenen gebraucht oder die letzte Kurzgeschichte mit Adalaide. Diese letzte Kurzgeschichte hat irgendwie nicht zum Rest gepasst und ich fand es schade, dass wieder einer Beziehung ein Kind aufgedrängt werden musste... 🤷🏻♀️😅

This was only my second time reading this one since it was published in paperback and ugh it was just as perfect. I am so glad Nikole Knight isn’t done with this world and that there are more stories to come.
Original review:
My wish for all of my favorite book series and characters is that they'll get bonus content like this: short stories that take place post-canon, after the series ends, that show domesticity and the characters just existing together and being happy. Nikole Knight delivers on every wish with this one, and it made me so happy to revisit Riley and his angels and see glimpses into their eternal life together. It reminded me how much I love the Fire & Brimstone Scrolls and that it's truly one of my favorite series, and I loved this little post-epilogue epilogue so much. I already can't wait to read the series a third time.

4.5 Stars!
Amazing to see these glimpses further into their future. I can actually enjoy their HEA now that the author has confirmed we’re getting a Uriel book and Bel/Beau. I’ll be anxiously awaiting their releases and any further peaks at our angels.

I love this bonus stories a lot. I love getting glimpses of their HEA in each chapters and I love that they're so loving of each other but....
That last bonus chapter with Addie...idk I feel like....the vibe isn't right. I keep trying to find the reason why. I try to ignore it but it keeps nagging me so now I might know why.
I usually like HEAs with kids and white picket fences and family time together. I've read a lot of MM romance books. Some of them written well enough that I even like the toddlers. But in this case specifically I feel like...idk I just get the vibe that Riley isn't all that happy with the additional family member.
Maybe this is just due to how short the last epilogue chapter was so the feelings don't come across to me well enough. Instead of it being all shiny and everything, the author threw the fact that Riley was struggling with parenthood and wasn't initially completely on board with having adopting a daughter.
Perhaps if he was the one who suggested getting a kid, or the one who wanted it, I wouldn't feel his discomfort as intensely. But Noel was the one who wanted a kid. And from the glimpses I could sense that Riley did this first and foremost for Noel and for Peter and his not wanting to leave the kid alone without parents. I have suspected of course that he would be somewhat envious of his own daughter (at first), after all for a long time he was the center. And I wasn't shaming him for it. I knew it would be hard. Which is why I just felt very uncomfortable (and guilty along with him) being in the same room as his daughter. Oh I know he loved her. I knew he felt content with his family. But.
There was just not enough good affectionate interaction between him and his daughter in this chapter. Even after she apologized for disappearing, he just held her for a bit before handing her to Gideon, as if he couldn't hold her too much longer. Instead, the chapter focused more on the affectionate interaction that was between the daughter and her three other fathers. It feels to me, in this chapter specifically, that sense of alienation surrounding Riley. He watched as his Commiteds interacted with their daughter and loved her and all affectionate. It made my heart hurt.
And maybe this is not what the author had intended by writing this chapter, maybe she only wanted to make it fluffy, but the fact that Jai snapped at Riley about not giving a shit about his daughter when Riley was just trying to calm him down was cruel. And I guess I'm not as forgiving as Riley, but goddamn that sharp anger just soured the whole mood. If anything, this chapter specifically just gave me the impression that Riley was an outsider looking in inside his own family. And that hurt me a lot, I guess, because, idk, after all this time? It's like after 50 years of being together with people who put him first he's suddenly alone again.
Then the author threw in the fact that he was the strict parent now out of the four of them, how that strictness terrified him of ending up being an awful parent like Ms Janet, how that envy and aloofness might cause bad things to his daughter. I could feel his love for her, but I could read the distance too. All these unresolved issues just thrown into the midst like that. And I felt like, in this chapter specifically, although in the last paragraph Riley said he had never been happier, and although he had forgiven Jai for the outburst, I felt an undercurrent of loneliness there as though he was thinking that it SHOULD have been the happiest he had ever been instead of yes he's happy. Worst part? Everyone else is too busy spending time with Addie to notice. All these issues--why would the author throw it all there? It makes me feel, as a reader, that Riley isn't. Isn't actually happy.
The word "THE END" smacked me in the face like. Yup. That's the ending. That's the HEA. But I can't feel the HEA because it's just unresolved issues about parenting struggle in the last chapter. And I wish I could just forget that chapter. I'm trying to delete it from my memory. I'll just pretend the last chapter is the one where they went to honeymoon. At least THERE Riley sounded genuinely happy.

July 21, 2025Era da tanto tempo che non leggevo di una relazione poliamorosa che si sviluppasse lentamente e con i suoi tempi. Questo desiderio è stato pienamente soddisfatto grazie a questa saga, ai suoi personaggi e a un'ottima introspezione.
Non è una saga priva di difetti, soprattutto dal punto di vista fantasy, che a volte può risultare un po' carente in alcuni aspetti. Tuttavia, a essere sincera, ho iniziato la lettura principalmente per il romance, e la componente fantasy mi interessava relativamente, quindi per me va benissimo così.
Quindi, come potete immaginare, ho gongolato parecchio quando ho scoperto che dopo il sesto libro avrei trovato questa raccolta, dove vengono narrati solamente momenti di vita quotidiana e, soprattutto, dove viene dato maggior spazio al rapporto tra Noel e Jai. Li amo follemente! 😍

Długa droga do Estonii była owocna i dałam radę skończyć tę serię.
Uczciwie - żałuję, że sięgnęłam po te opowiadania. Nie były one złe, ale ostatnie narobiło mi takiego niesmaku. Było takie prawdziwe, ale zahaczało o coś, czego fanką nie jestem i trochę popsuło mi wizję

I will miss these guys! So glad the author gave us these little side stories to let us know how these men are doing. Great characters with individual feelings and I love how Riley changes over the series and all the way to the end of this story.

I did say that I wanted more of these characters. I was just hoping for more slice of life, less porn. My bad.
