“There is nothing worse than pretending that you don’t care about something, when that is all you can think about.”

Harper Graham wears a mask, and not the pamper kind. She conceals her pain with shoes, shots, and lots of sex. But while her life appears fantastic to most, Harper herself knows that the most important thing in life is not financial stability, but emotional. Having been let down by her absent father for most of her life, Harper chooses to keep the men in her life at arms length. Well, that was until Kyler Morgan.

Kyler Morgan has been successful at nearly everything in his life … nearly. Traveling the country with the band Down Glory Road, Kyler has had time to reflect upon his life and in particular his relationship with feisty, drop-dead gorgeous realtor, Harper. Realizing that she is the woman of his dreams, Kyler resolves to win back Harper, and prove to her that she is, and always has been, enough.

But the path to true love rarely runs smoothly, and when their journey takes a number of twists and turns, will Harper and Kyler manage to hold tight, or fall by the wayside?

I walked as far away from him as I could and sat on the unmade bed. Pinning him with a glare I asked, “To what do I owe the pleasure, traitor?”

“Traitor?” He actually looked shocked.

“Well, I could actually come up with a few other choice words. In fact maybe it’s a good thing that you came here. It’ll save me the trip of finding you.” I brought the cup to my mouth and took a slow sip.

His mouth quirked up in a slow, sexy grin. “You were coming to look for me?”

I leveled a glare at him. “I know what you did, and you have some serious explaining and groveling to do.”

“And what is it you think I did?”

“Don’t play games with me, Kyler. You told Em everything.”

He shrugged. “And?”

I was getting more and more pissed off by his nonchalance and ‘whatever’ attitude.

“What was your reasoning? Besides you thinking that if you told my best friend everything maybe I would see the error of my ways and come back to you?”

The smirk that was on his face slowly faded into a frown.

“I never assumed anything. In fact, I’d have to be the dumbest man on earth to assume anything when it comes to you.”

What did he mean by that? Before I got a chance to think more about it, he started to stalk slowly toward me. With every step, my heartbeat picked up. His gaze was unyielding and I felt my anger going away, and desire mixed with nervousness crept in. I wanted to pinch myself to remind me why I was angry, and to hold on to that anger. It was the only emotion I wanted to feel right now. Lust was an unwelcome sensation, and I hated that I felt nervous about his advancement.

“What are you doing?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.

“I’m going to prove to you that I don’t assume things…I know things.”

Always  Enough by Stacy Borel was a fantastic read.  I fell in love with Harper and Kyler in her first book Ever Enough and could not wait to read their story.  Stacy did not disappoint.  Harper is one of my favorite female characters and in this book she had me laughing out loud as usual yet she showed such a softer more vulnerable side this time too.  She is a kick a$$, no holds bar, ball busting women with demons in her past that have built some serious walls.  Kyler is a favorite of mine too.  He seriously cracks me up but his love for Harper is beautiful.  There were plenty of ups and downs for these two but I was rooting for them all the way.  The only thing I wished was that the book was longer, I wasn’t ready for it to end.  The bonus to this book was that we did get more Finn and Em with their new baby Allie.  I would LOVE LOVE LOVE it if Stacy would write one more book in this series that takes place a few years after the epilogue of Always Enough showing us what the four of them (Finn, Em, Harper, & Kyler) are up to.  I don’t know if I am ready to give these characters up yet.  If this is the end, it still was a great ending.  This is a must read series for me and I can’t wait to see what else Stacy has up her sleeve.

Read Sophie’s review of Ever Enough HERE

In the first book Ever Enough, I loved Finn & Em’s story and this is when we were first introduced to Em’s best friend Harper and I just loved her to pieces from the get go! She was fiesty and was a very hot independent women! How can you not love that!! At the end of the first book I was excited to hear that Harper would be getting her own book.

Behind every confident smile there is always something that will bring that person to their knees. In Always Enough we find out what Harpers weakness is and it breaks my heart. Kyler is so yummy! On top of being in a band and extremly sexy he is also senseitive and caring. Kyler is willing to do whatever it takes to prove to Harper that their relationship is more than just sex. Read their story and find out how Kyler plans on proving this to Harper!

I give this book 4 stars.
