also, i really like how Ryke knew that Daisy felt like a third wheel when it comes to her sisters and tries everything to make her feel included and treats her like an actual adult unlike others *cough* Lo *cough*. and i do appreciate how he just lets her be and goes with her wild af antics, being all proud and shiii. it's cute. What I loved so much about Ryke and Daisy's relationship was that despite the fact that they'd never been romantically involved before this point, they'd build a very solid friendship over the past 3 years which really strengthened their bond and made their connection go far deeper than just their mutual attraction.

Lo. i dare you to name one character that was more annoying than him in this book. you can't, even Samantha Calloway was better. i said what i said. even after reading Thrive and seeing his POV throughout these events... i don't give a shit. as Ryke told him: he made everything IMPOSSIBLE in this book. he’s like my wolf—dangerous, alluring and protective—but i can never get close enough or else he’ll bite.” Ryke, or the authors, kept rationalizing his behavior as “abrasive”, that he’s a hothead and I don’t remember what, but it’s no excuse. I understand that Daisy is now a legal adult, so whatever flirtatious banter and other activities that she and Ryke do are no longer concerning, but when the events of the previous books are still fresh in your mind, you can’t help but notice how wrong it all is, especially since the supporting characters did nothing to separate them. Except Lo. Honestly, how did Rose not disapprove of their friendship, I’ll never understand. I thought i could count on Rose to put Ryke in his place.Beginnings are the hardest because they’re the parts that pull people in, that make them want the ends. And endings are the most painful, the parts that can leave you bleeding out.” Hothouse Flower starts out about 2 years after Kiss the Sky. Daisy is 18 and on her way to Paris for fashion week. She’s going alone. Modeling isn’t something she loves, it’s something she does to please her mother. Ryke is off to California to pursue free climbing- the one thing he loves and that makes him feel alive. There are events that lead up to the both of them going in different directions than they planned. i am unfortunately with the second half (sorry if you love them together; i tried i really did!). i’m fine with age gap romance although this one was uncomfortable for me. this is only a seven year age gap but ryke’s been fighting the feelings he had for daisy since she was 15 and he was 22. it doesn’t sit right with me that now that she’s freshly 18 it’s okay for them to be together. this is still well-written and i love following these characters through each book that it wasn’t a bad read at all. I could read this book again and again!So much I loved it!!I want to say thank you to the amazing authors Krista and Becca for this brilliant book!!Well done girls :)) Now, recovering from a family tragedy, she seeks comfort once more at Wharton Park, newly inherited by the charismatic Kit Crawford, with a sad story of his own.

again, this story is more character driven so there's no "plot" BUT this does have the whole road trip storyline for the most part. 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.

Starting and stopping - in many cases, you will start the series thinking that you will read just one book and save the rest of the books for another time, but then you realize how unsuccessful you were with that attempt . If I’m being honest, my biggest issue with Ryke and Daisy’s relationship was how he seemed to prioritize his relationship with his selfish brother over her wants and needs sometimes. He mostly didn’t, but sometimes… sometimes he did. And I truly despised those moments. I loved both so much!!They create a strong bond!!Both have their problems but they has each other to help one another.I loved Daisy.She is sweet,funny and adorable.I hate her mother, who didn't let Daisy live her life! up to this point they're the outcasts of the group, but they're always there for each other. especially Ryke for Daisy omg. he's the only one she trusts with her issues and tries to help her in any way he can. he sleeps in her bed to help her with her night terrors i—

it wasn't satisfying when they finally got together because of this shit like at least add more grovelling scenes or more push and pull between them where it's Daisy's turn to reject him i don't know. i just wasn't satisfied because i've been waiting for these two to get together and then this shit happens and then they get together right away? no thanks.he carried you. you were in his arms when he reached the hospital doors. he arrived about ten minutes before anyone else from the riot.” Ryke,Ryke *sigh* Why must these guys be only in books??? He is amazing!He cares so much for Daisy,he would do anything for her. DAISY I love Daisy, my sunshine, my stargirl. I resonate with her so much, I feel like out of all the sisters, she reminds me of myself the most. She’s in this constant state of trying to stray from the path her parents and sisters have put her on and find her voice. It’s lovely to see this new perspective: not choosing something that feels like a smart path doesn’t have to result in a disaster. And also, you can still be excited about life even if that same life has disappointed you many times. I won’t spoil much, but I sympathize with Daisy so much, I feel like her suffering has been dismissed a lot by the people around her, and it’s beautiful to see how Ryke is that one person who never forgets about her. She went through trauma and abuse caused by both her parents and the “fans”. also the way ryke slept beside her to shield her from her nightmares - it was so unbearably adorable!! he helped her ptsd and insomnia so so much and the way they just were with each other - they're everything. 😭 They just seem like that type of couple who would never get bored of each other and who can do the most insane and dangerous stuff together without ever losing the big ass smiles on their face! They just really give off this super cool and sexy vibe as a couple without even really trying.
