She leaves behind everything and everyone to fulfill a deathbed promise and start her life over.

Hell-bent on reclaiming her, they chase her down and help her complete her solemn duty. But Heavenly is caught between independence and love, forcing him and Beck to make her a deal. She’ll give them total commitment for eight weeks. If she still wants her freedom after that, they’ll let her go—for good.
After Beck’s reckless mistake implodes the fragile bond he and Seth share with Heavenly, he’s determined to prove they can give her both the adventure she seeks and the devotion she craves. So the men devise a game to break down her barriers and bind her in bliss.

Beside the PI, Beck took the stairs two at a time. They were both out of breath when they entered their suite. The trek up three flights wasn’t the only reason.
Behind them, Seth slammed the door. Beck caught sight of Heavenly and raked his hot stare over her.
She approached, hands outstretched, and settled a palm on each of their chests, her touch like a brand. But when she darted a regretful glance their way, dread gonged in Beck’s brain.
“I want what’s about to happen,” she panted. “I need to get out of my head and feel alive.”
“We can do that for you.” Seth moved in to kiss her.
She dodged him. “Even if it’s just tonight, not a promise of anything more?”
Beck gritted his teeth. The battle for their future might be a one-woman war right now, but he wasn’t giving up without a fight. If she ultimately wanted men in her life who put her first, he and Seth had to not only show her they loved her but tell her. They’d steep her in pleasure until she felt boneless and ecstatic, then drop the L bomb. After that, if she chose to walk away from them for good… Well, he’d be heartbroken, but he’d have no regrets.
“Just tonight it is. Now why don’t you come here, little girl?” And let us change your mind?

Book one leaves you pondering what Heavenly is going to do. Book two starts exactly where book one stops.
Beck and Seth have decided that being enemies will not achieve their goal of having Heavenly. When Heavenly learns that Beck is married, she doesn't know what to think, but with her dad's health looming over her, she doesn't really have time to think about it.
Beck knows that he has to fix the problem, but with his past, something he never speaks about, he's not sure how to go about fixing the mess he's put them in.
Raine is one of Heavenly's only friends and agrees to help Heavenly on her quest to travel to Wisconsin. Back home to where she and her dad were the happiest. But when planning to leave, Heavenly knows that she has a lot to think about and so she decides that she has to leave Seth and Beck behind for her journey.
Neither of her men are happy about her decision, but with the issues that have now been brought up, both know that they have to back off and let Heavenly decide on her own whether or not she can trust them. Also, Seth and Beck know that despite their own personal proclivities, they have to introduce Heavenly to their world gently and slowly, so that she can adjust and hopefully accept them for all they want from her. I love how gentle they are with her and how they aren't too afraid to show her who they truly are.
Finally, the final conflict in this book is where most of the action comes in. I thought that it was a very well thought out conflict and really enjoyed watching everything come together and work itself out. I am very much looking forward to seeing more of this family and hope more books are to come.
Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆☆
This is the second book in the series, and you absolutely need to read The Choice first! It had been a while since I had read it, so I went back and indulged again, as I knew the experience would be all the richer – and it was. I am assuming you have too in my review.
At the very end of The Choice, Seth and Beck finally have Heavenly in their arms, and all three are willing to give the trio a chance – in no small part thanks to the interventions by Liam, Macen, and Raine (another wonderful story, if you have missed out on it – get reading! [Doms of Her Life]). But as they chase to the hospital for her father, she discovers that Beck is seeking a divorce... which clearly means he must be married!
However, this is merely a blip on the horizon compared to where this story goes with Beck's past... be prepared for the unexpected – and be ready for Seth also to have some secrets of his own, which will await us in the next installment.
As this engaging trio get to know each other better, they also have to try and navigate a course which enables Heavenly to honour her father, to continue with her career plans, and come to terms with the kinks that her men have previously indulged. She may be innocent, but she is not naive, and I found that to be an engaging characteristic – she wasn't disingenuous or coy, she was curious and open minded. Her shopping trips with Raine were fun and educational!
There is a lot of fun and lightness in this book but it goes dark too, and as we wait for Heavenly to make her decision and say those three littles words, life gets serious and needs the full team to come to the rescue. Moving, frightening, and unexpected, but it certainly coalesced her feelings.
I really need The Commitment NOW!!!!!
