This was a wonderful conclusion to Harley and Trey's story. Every Second with You was such a perfect blend of drama, romance, and steam that left me extremely happy and satisfied. Although I have always loved Trey, he had some moments in the first third of the book where I wanted to smack him and tell him to get it together. I completely understood why he was so scared, but Harley deserved much better than the way he was acting. Fortunately he got his head on straight as the book progressed, and his actions and words made up for his earlier behavior. The sweet things he did like always hold Harley's hand or tell her she was beautiful made me melt.Harley was the rockstar of this book. She was so strong through everything. Even when Trey was having doubts she held on and kept moving forward. I loved how she spoke up for herself with both Trey and her mother, and I was so happy with the direction things went with her family. She was very deserving of a life of love and happiness. Honestly, they both were, and it was amazing to look back and see how far they've come since the moment Harley walked into No Regrets. They have a rare kind of love that wasn't always easy, yet it was always beautiful. Some scenes with them were tender and others were hot, but the love between them was the constant.
There was a moment around the halfway point in the book where I completely freaked out. I'm sure most readers put two and two together and figured out what Blakely wanted you to think. My mind was racing trying to figure out if it was possible and what it would mean for Harley and Trey. As much as I disliked that situation, I loved that I was so emotionally invested in these characters that I had to calm myself down to keep reading. There were definitely a few times while reading that I cried, both happy and sad tears.
At times I never wanted the story to end, but at the same I'm not sure I could handle Harley and Trey going through anything else. I really loved how Blakely wrapped everything up in a way that was satisfying yet true to the characters and nature of the story. The relationships/situations with Cam, Harley's mom and grandparents, Trey's parents, and Miranda were all addressed perfectly. I loved every minute of Harley and Trey's journey, the good and bad, and I would highly recommend this series to anyone. Although I have enjoyed all of Blakely's books, the No Regrets series really is her best to date for me.(less)

Every Second With You No Regrets Volume 2 Lauren Blakely 9781494997380 Books Reviews
Trey and Harley have not had an easy start. They've both had to face their demons, face the harsh realities of the destructive ways they dealt with life. But they've made it through it, together, stronger. Nothing can break them, unless they let the past destroy them.
Just as they both seem to gain their footing, their greatest fears threaten to shatter it all. But they aren't the same people they used to be. They aren't destined to repeat their mistakes, again and again.
Lauren Blakely. She twisted my stomach with this one. This is one of those where you can't really go into the story because the 'big event' which carried most of the story line would spoil it, should you give it away. But I can say that I had moments where the ground felt like it just disappeared from beneath my feet.
I don't think it was possible to read this series and not fall utterly in love with these two characters. They both were so fragile and broken, yet their strength was so evident. Life is not pretty, it is not always roses... and although these two share beautiful moments; you don't get just a shiny love story.
As much as parts of this had me silently pleading with the book gods, I don't think I would have wanted it any other way. Trey completely robbed me of all ability to think straight pretty early in this series, his journey in this - the way he was - the things he had to face... f'n beautiful.

I was so excited to get my hands on the conclusion of Trey and Harley’s story. I absolutely adored them in The Thrill of It …they pulled me in with all the angst and sexual tension and emotion…I couldn’t get enough. Plus that ending – hello! If you have no idea what I am talking about…then we have a problem…Every Second with You is the sequel to The Thrill of It…and these books must be read in order.
Harley…oh Harley…so much wiser than her age…it’s hard for me to think that she’s only 20 – it just seems to young because she doesn’t act like a 20 year old. At all. She’s been through a lot. A call girl who doesn’t have sex with a pimp that is more like father to her and a mother who is more concerned with her boyfriends than the emotional well-being of her daughter. Oh and let’s not forget being blackmailed by an evil twat with a grudge (not that she didn’t have reasons to be angry, I just think the anger is a little misdirected and a tad over the top!). I think anyone dealing with that bucket of fun wouldn’t mature real quick! Harley was the first one to piss me off in the book…in the beginning I struggled with Harley’s decisions because I didn’t agree with them and I understood her logic…that didn’t mean I had to like it! Luckily…she got over that pretty quickly and truly showed me how awesome she is. She has clearly been through a lot and things don’t just become a walk in the park because she has Trey by her side, as much as I wish that for her. Harley is my tough little soldier…she’s got this protective shell that she has built up to save her from the harsh reality of her life – the fact that she really hasn’t had a family or anyone to love her and treat her like she deserves. Until Trey.
‘I want to cry, I want to sob, I want to hold him close and never let him go. I wam in heaven with him, and I have one foot in the hell of my own fear, so I need to lose myself in sex, in love, in connection. Maybe this is the druggie in me, the junkie that doesn’t know how to deal without her fix.’
Trey Westin you get me every time. He’s so not what you would expect…behind this tough tatt’d bad boy image with a scar that holds his troubled past…is this huge heart, this warm, caring and affectionate guy that would give anything and everything to protect those he loves. It’s so endearing…I test anyone not to fall in love with him. It’s funny because what I think is Trey’s strongest feature is what he hid for so long – his ability to feel was repressed and he chose to hide behind sex, ignoring his desire to love…and it got him nowhere. Well…it got him somewhere but that somewhere was a permanent mark to remind him of every mistake he had ever made. So...Harley might have been the first out of the two of them to piss me off…but Trey just about made me scream when he almost did what I thought he was going to do (if that makes any sense, but I’m being intentionally vague to not give anything away!). I’m serious…I had to put down my , I was that angry. But…his reaction to not doing what I thought he was going to do…totally made me fist pump because…it shows how much he has changed. He had the opportunity to run back to his old patterns, to give up on all the progress he made…ruin everything he built with Harley…and he didn’t. Yay for growth!!!
‘I shake my head. “I don’t want to talk. I just want you.” I fall into her again, the press of her body some kind of balm for my fearful heart. Because it’s working. It’s f^@%!#$ working. The feel of her is an anesthetic. “I love you,” I murmur in her ear, as much to remind myself as to get her in the state I need her in. Because I wante her blissed out, drunk from sex, too. We can et wasted together. “I love you so f^@%!#$ much,” I say, and she moans softly from the words. I know her, I know this girl. She loves hearing it, she can’t get enough of it, and it turns her on to no end.
“I love you too,” she says, roping her arms around my neck, and he voice is so honest, so pure, that it nearly jolts me from the haze that’s coating my brain.’
I think that was what I appreciated the most from this book…all the growth I saw in Harley and Trey. Obviously…they have come through a lot…I get that, believe me…I was right there with them, imagining myself holding their hands…but up until about 20-30% on ESwY, I was ready to drop kick both of them. I already said it, they were completely pissing me off and I really wanted to just shake them and say ‘Ummm….excuse me?!?!!? I didn’t just suffer through TToI for both of you to mess it up! It’s not happening!’ Yes…I was tempted to throw my kindle…I internally screamed…it was a rough period of time. They were both making crazy decisions that I didn’t think fit with what they had been through and how far they had come. Granted, the baby is a huge stressor for both of them and it’s easy to fall back into old patterns. But, thank God…then the clouds parted and my glorious little duo made me so proud. So…was all that anguish worth it? The bitter part of me wants to say no…but honestly? Yeah…it was. It made me value what they had…and it needed to happen…it really drove home how much they have changed and matured. It wouldn’t have been Harley and Trey if there wasn’t a little ‘ugly beautiful’ to get through…its part of what makes them…them. With everything they went through, they were the ones who needed to figure their stuff out and come to terms with their pasts so that they could live a happy, healthy life together. It’s true to who they are and it made me appreciate what they had that much more.
‘“Did that work?” I ask into the quiet night.
“Um, yeah. Couldn’t you tell?”
I shake my head. “That’s not what I meant. I meant, did I show you love?”
“Yes. You and me, this is what love is.”
We learned it together.’
I have to say ESwY was a very complete way to end Trey and Harley’s story. On top of the baby aspect, there were a lot of issues that needed to be resolved…least of all were Trey’s parents & Harley’s mom. I was hopeful on both fronts…because you never want to truly believe that a parent would give up on their child the way that their parents gave up on them…and I don’t even know if ‘gave up’ is the right term for what they did but it’s the best generalization I can give. Trey’s parents…surprised me, in a good way. I understand their pain but at the same time I feel their pain kept them from bonding with the son they did have…which is sad. Barb is just a whole other beast – she proved me right…she is in fact a complete waste of a human being. Very sad. But I did like the development with Harley’s family that I didn’t see coming…it was a little bit of a welcomed curveball but it was cute and I liked what it added to the story. And don’t worry…that wasn’t the only curve ball…oh, there were plenty – and I won’t spoil them but boy did Lauren Blakely give me heart palpitations with some of them. Yeah…like the one at 90-something% when I was thinking there was no way she was really going to make me cry that late in the book – but yeah…she totally did.
‘That’s what she’s been teaching me, in her own quiet way. To live each day, to embrace it, to seize the moment, because that’s all we ever have.
Moments. With each other. Without regret.’
ESwY was definitely an emotional rollercoaster that kept me on my toes…I didn’t know what I was expecting, but I can definitely say I was pleasantly surprised. Harley and Trey’s beautiful story of overcoming their pasts, learning to thrive in love and their unending passion is one I won’t soon forget.
This was a wonderful conclusion to Harley and Trey's story. Every Second with You was such a perfect blend of drama, romance, and steam that left me extremely happy and satisfied. Although I have always loved Trey, he had some moments in the first third of the book where I wanted to smack him and tell him to get it together.
