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.Daisy Calloway is finally eighteen. 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 ship the **** out of Daisy & Ryke and have been waiting for this to go down since everyone went to Cancun for spring break in Addicted For Now. <b>Itch, scratched.</B><br/><br/>I loved this book just as much as I thought I would. I just can’t get enough of this insanely ****** up, yet deeply loving family dynamic. Jonathan Hale was finally humanized closer to the end of this one. About time. He took a huge step towards repairing his relationship with Ryke, and I look forward to seeing the outcome his actions."
"Omg 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 🌶🌶🌶🌶 ok. I REALLY liked this book. I listened to the audio book, warning: there is A.LOT. Of swearing and it is pretty spicy starting half way ish. But. I REALLY liked Ryke & Daisy.. he is an alpha with a protective streak. She is the wild child. Anyway. I totally recommend!"
"truly incredible, Ryke and Daisy’s relationship is one of a kind! so far my favorite book in the series!"

"3.8 stars<br/>Not gonna lie, I skimmed some parts of this book. And I think the whole underage thing definitely turned me off from being super invested, but I really do love Ryle and Daisy, though I can’t say I care about them being together the same way I do for Lily and Loren. The same for Connor and Rose. I’m definitely not as emotionally invested for those couples. Also, Connor and Rose were a little insufferable in the book, unfortunately. Anyway, I think I’ll end the series here, because pregnancy and babies really doesn’t interest me. Plus I can see a lot of the mess being resolved somehow, so it’s not like I’m burning to know how it’ll happen. All in all this is a really character driven series, and the bond these six all share has been really incredible to read about"
"This was a ride, for sure. I still don't like Ryke. Have I come to appreciate him? Yes. Do I like him? No. Daisy Calloway on the other hand. I love her! In the beginning, she was kinda eh to me considering she wasn't seen much, but now..I saw how strong & courageous she was. When she described what her friends did to her..my heart literally broke for her. She definitely deserved better. I don't like Raisy..and I most likely never will, so yeah there's that. It wasn't the best book at all, but there were some good parts tbf. Honestly, the only people who made this book bearable for me was Daisy, Lilo & Connor & Rose. So..yeah there's that."
