OMG - what a book! This is the third book in the Just an Illusion series and it didn't disappoint. I'm not usually a crier, but this book had me a couple of pages in. Each book has left you hanging at the end and where I though this was it, I noticed another book is due out in a couple of months. Congratulations Dee, a great read!

Sawyer deserves all the credit here, he stepped up more than anyone should have too, even though this was an emotional read I just couldn't connect twith Mel. I loved how Nate was so close to Sawyer and the bond they shared in his first few weeks of life continued through out the story, I wanted to feel that with Mel and Nate but didn't. This book teaches us that life doesn't always go as planned but with the love, support, understanding, acceptance of family and friends you can survive anything, your life is what you make it not for others to judge or put a time limit on how long is enough time to move on. Looking forward to Sawyers POV. Congrats D Kelly you have done it again.

5+ Ugly Crying Electrified Guitars for Just an Illusion - EP

Reviewed in the United States on 21 June 2017

Verified Purchase

Where to begin, oh where to begin? I have had several schools of thought on this while reading, knowing I would be reviewing as soon as I finished reading. But as I pulled up the page on GoodReads, something crossed my mind.

This book, this series...these are the reasons I blog. The books that touch your heart and soul when you read them...the books that break you until there is no avoiding the ugly cry, no matter how guarded you think your heart is....and then put it back together, if only to set you up to do it all over again. Books that affect you in ways you never thought possible. Books that let you soar to the highest heights and drag you through the depths of hell and every emotion in between. Books of epic romances you feel privileged to have a peek at. For me, it is always a bonus if music is involved, particularly rockstars, but music is a part of almost every part of my life, so, once I discovered the multitude of books that weave music and musicians into their storyline, why would I not include music in my literary choices. But, I digress, I wanted to focus on those rare, special unicorns....those books keep me going as a reader as well as as a blogger. I honestly have never had dreams of writing myself, but there is a special kind of joy I get as a blogger when I have the chance to introduce these mythical masterpieces to a new audience. My friends, please take note of the name D. Kelly.

I really should start with telling you Just an Illusion - EP (The Illusion, #3) by D. KellyJust an Illusion - EPis not a standalone; you must read Just an Illusion - Side A (The Illusion, #1) by D. Kelly Just an Illusion - Side A, followed by Just an Illusion - The B Side (The Illusion, #2) by D. Kelly Just an Illusion - The B Side first. This isn't any kind of hardship - this trilogy is one of the best I have come across in ages, if ever. Okay, maybe I should have started with how honored I was to receive an ARC copy since this doesn't actually release until June 21st, and I have been counting down the days since I finished The B Side. I am sure some of you would like to know that both Side A and Side B close on some pretty major cliffhangers and I will go ahead and mention that EP does close out this trilogy without that kind of angst. (So if you hate cliffhangers, you can get your closure on June 21st and not have to wait for closure.) I do know there is at least one more BAD/Weston book in the works, Just an Illusion - Unplugged, and I will hope, beg, bargain, plead and pray there will be many more than that. Only a very elite group of authors have ever touched me in the way Ms. Kelly has - as a reader first, but also as a book blogger, adding to that list is like a childhood Christmas morning. In most situations I am like the Grinch, and the every once in a great while a book/series/author comes along, sucking me into their fictional vortex and giving me all the feels, leaving me feeling like my heart grew 2 sizes that day.

One more warning (that, actually probably applies to the entire series) before we get down to business- check your stock, you may need to make a Sam's Club or Costco run before you get started if you don't have several boxes of tissues on hand. While you are there a couple of bottles of wine, and maybe a good bottle of whiskey or tequila might be needed as well. Just fair warning, and it comes from a non-crier. I can only think of one book that had me in tears quicker than EP, and I don't think any have produced the infamous ugly cry to the extent this book does. However, if you are suffering from allergies, or happen to have a sinus infection, the ugly cry might clear your sinuses better than any over the counter or even prescription medications.

So it is time to focus more specifically on Just an Illusion - EP. I am a spoiler-free reviewer, and that gets trickier the deeper into a series you get. Add in the cliffhangers the previous 2 books end on, and, nope, sorry (not sorry), you won't get a lot of specifics from me. The Weston Twins will both surprise you, in unexpected ways. I ran the gamut of emotions toward each of them as I read this tome. I will have to say the same is true of Mel. Sometimes you want to hug her, sometimes you want to shake her, or, as one member of the family actually does, you may have the urge to slap her (though perhaps not for the same reasons.) If you have read The B Side, you will know that it has a dramatic ending....I don't think there is any way to prepare for how that will play out. Saying it is extremely emotional is like saying our 97°F temps with 80% humidity this week are a bit warm. The impact is massive, and the rest of the story is definitely colored by the aftermath. I truly can't praise Ms. Kelly enough for her ability to make her characters come to life, all too human flaws and all. It takes true talent to bring such a realness to your creations that people have emotional responses to these fictional situations in black and white print in front of them. Ms. Kelly's talent well must be overflowing.

Don't get me wrong, it is not all angst and tearjerking. There is plenty of slightly snarky humor (my favorite kind) and some scorching hot sexy scenes. There are the strong family ties that we have seen throughout the series, including friends who have become a part of the family. Much like real life, there are lots of ups and downs, misunderstandings, and those rare relationships where people know you so well words aren't always necessary. One factor that sets this series apart from others is the strength of the secondary characters. While they never overwhelm our MCs, several have left me wanting to know more about them - lots more. Eli and Darren probably top that list, but there is no shortage of potential spinoffs because the glimpses we get are so strongly defined as to make us curious to know more. Mac the bodyguard even plays enough of a role to make my curiosity and imagination run. Off the top of my head I can think of at least 6 more names to add to the list. It is rare for me to take notice of secondary, and almost unheard of for tertiary, characters, but this whole crew, or more aptly, my reaction to them, has taken me by surprise.

I am such an avid reader that I don't often get attached to characters, but these have really gotten under my skin. I am about to do something I don't think I have ever done, and reread this entire series , immediately. I have heard the term "book hangover" many times, and I have experienced them a time or two (and possibly it's only because this is so fresh) but I feel like I have never had one to this extent. Obviously this series gets my highest recommendations.

EMOTIONAL AND AMAZING!

Reviewed in Canada on 5 July 2017

I can hardly see to write but I can't let the moment pass without expressing just how wonderful this series was. I could hardly put the books down and just spent the last 3 days with my ass planted in my recliner.

This story of Mel, Noah, and Sawyer was fantastic and I rarely use that word. The supporting characters were all wonderful too and worthy of all accolades as well.

Most of us will never be lucky enough to love and be loved so much in this lifetime. Although just a love story written by a fellow human being, I can't help but love her underlying message...live and love for today because tomorrow may not be fated for us.

You will only love this story. Not just like, but love! Please do yourself a favor and get it soon!

Well, here comes something I haven't ever done before. I am rating this book before I'm even half way through it.
It already has rendered me absolutely heartbroken and ladies, be sure to have a box of tissues at hand and a bottle
of wine and some comfort food.
I hope the story ends the way I have rooted for since the beginning of this series. Never has a plot captured me
as this one has. I'm still in tears and can't stop reading, even if it keeps breking my heart.
Good job D. Kelly, Congrats to you !!

This book is everything

OMG woman EP is a complete page turner. Thank you for giving me my Weston fix, which you know I've been craving.

This is the 3rd book in The Illusion series so if you haven't read Just an Illusion sides A & B I would highly recommend you start on A and work through the tracks.
Be prepared for a rollercoaster of emotions, EP is jam packed with feelings and hot sex.

EP kicks off with Amelia writing to a deadline all about what leads to the present day, but her hand has been forced, she has 72 hrs to make a massive life decision. But who is forcing her to make a choice?
That fateful night when everything changed for the BAD members has had a massive impact on all their lives and life is hitting some of them harder than others. Amelia finds out a lot of hidden secrets along the way that have lead her to where she is now. The heart and her head just need to be in tune with each other to come to the right conclusion.

Will fate give Amelia an HEA?

But thankfully we won't be saying goodbye to the Weston's completely. Yes, *happy dance* there's going to be a book 4 Unplugged which will give MR. Weston's POV.

Perfect conclusion

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 March 2021

This has to be the perfect conclusion to this story and damn I new something extremely emotional would happen but I wasn’t quite expecting this!!

I love how D Kelly shows these characters coming to terms with the hands they’ve been dealt and whilst I wanted to slap atleast one family member I understood to some extent where they were coming from!

Watching this family lean on one another and come out the other side was both heart warming and heart breaking!

But I’m not going to say anymore if you haven’t read this one yet you really should it is everything and more!! Just make sure you have a box of tissues or two at the ready pulse your favourite comfort foods because you will need them.
