Awaken (Spiral of Bliss, #3) by Nina Lane





The most beautiful and stunning conclusion to Dean and Liv's passionate and romantic love story! This is one of those stories that will have you thinking what book to read next because nothing will ever compare to it.

This book is most unique to others because it's the story of an already married couple who continue to discover each other through pure, raw strength and their limitless of love for each other. Since the first two books, we have witnessed this couples struggles, survive tragedies and in this one we see how they come back to being the couple they were since they started dating each other. This story has so much intense passion, healing, hope for the future and the beauty that is knowing that your soul mate is forever.

The story was so well-written that I savored each word and page as I read it. The reading experience was exquisite. I felt so much deep emotion for both Dean and Liv. There were actual tears in my eyes because I felt every emotion from both of them. Told in their separate POV's, the author went all out in making her readers feel both Liv and Dean's love for each other. Words can't fully express how their love for each other revolves around the whole universe.

Awaken delivered everything and more. I never had the feeling of frustration while I was reading, sure there were times that I wanted to reach inside the book and strangle a few of the antagonists but other than that, I loved every single moment of this story.

I love the fact that Live finally found her strength and confidence in doing what she loves. She refused to hide in her shell and she refused to be dependent on her husband. I admired her courage in facing her mother, despite all the hurt that she has experienced in the past.

And Dean, wow oh wow! The professor never looked more sexy in my eyes. I swear he made me feel all kinds of things. He made my heart race, flutter and melt all at the same time. The way he loved Liv wasn't like any other hero I have ever read. He loved Liv not only for who she is but also for who she is not. And Liv wasn't perfect, no one ever is but he loved her because she was a perfect vision; her flaws, her beauty, her insecurities, her strengths. He accepted every minor detail from Liv.


"My husband doesn't just love me. He knows HOW to love me. He knows what I need and when I need it, sometimes even better than I do. He knows how to unfold all the tight, tough parts of me and smooth them out with the glide of his hand. He knows how to prove that he - and only he - understands ever crevice of my soul. He knows how to remind me that I am forever safe within his heart."


Dean was all waht Liv dreamed about. He was a chivalrous Knight, a sexy pirate, a mysterious Elf and he was even kinky as hell. He was charming in every aspect and he always knows how to sweep his wife off her feet. You will keep on fanning yourself because their chemistry sizzles out of the book. Seriously, you'll want to share the experience of their intensely erotic love and pure passion. It was scorching hot!

"I want to grab her and shove her up against the nearest wall. Rip her clothes off and fuck her until the earth trembles and the stars explode. Until the universe shatters."


Dean was also overbearing at times. He couldn't help the protective streak that flows from his veins. He swore to protect Liv from any type of hurt and that just made my heart melt more.

"I'm not going to apologize… Yes, I want to protect you. You're my wife. I'd fucking kill for you, Liv, and if that makes me a possessive bastard of a husband, then fine. That's what I am. I'm not going to change either. I love you too goddamned much."


The story was so full of depth that sometimes I had to stop and just let it all in because there was just too many feels even if its just in one page. And I wanted to feel every single moment. They were just so in love with each other that it keeps on pouring out of the book.

"And, just like that, I fall wildly in love with my husband all over again…. He smiles, sliding his thumb across my lips, his gaze warm. Pleasure fills me at that look, so replete with love and tenderness that I'm reminded anew that together we can withstand anything."


Dean and Liv are absolute. Their were times that they struggled of course. There is no perfect marriage but they made it work. They were both supportive of each other even when it comes to their work and goals. They sorted out their issues together and their connection and longing never faded away. Despite the distance that they encountered in this book , they never faltered and their love only grew more.

"...my beautiful wife. Wanting her is like breathing. Needing her is in my blood. And loving her will always be the beat of my heart."


Again, I want to commend on the writing. Nina Lane has a great gift in making her readers feel every emotion in every single word she writes. Every scene was so full of love and passion. She's absolutely amazing in every aspect!

How can anything top this? This is the kind of book that raises the bar and expectation you have for any other book. This is the kind of book that could make anyone experience a book hangover and never move on!

"My white knight. My beautiful, strong, brave husband who loved me more than I ever knew it was possible to be loved.

This man would give me the stars, the moon, the sun. He has slated monsters for me and alongside me. He's battled through dark, tangled woods with me because he has never once wavered in his belief that we are meant to be forever. He would do anything for me. For us.

He's a rare gift, my husband, perfect and flawed and completely, unreservedly mine."


In a nut shell, this book is about a married couple's love after the happily ever after. Their passionate and unwavering love for each other survived all of their struggles. Despite all the thing life threw at them, they fought it together and they grew together. That is what made this story more beautiful in my eyes, the fact that they made it through with each other's company and they never lost their way. They always end up on each other's arms which is their home-their us.

"Some things will never change, Liv," he says. "We'll always fall asleep and wake up together. I'll always make you coffee in the morning and teaser you about your bathrobe. We'll always love each other to distraction, argue, hold hands and kiss and awful lot. And I promise you that no matter what, we'll always have us."


There were tears everywhere after I read this and I can't recommend it enough by words because my words will never be enough on how I should this describe this heart achingly beautiful story about intense love and passion.

Yes this book is PURE PERFECTION! EVERYONE SHOULD JUST GO AHEAD AND READ IT!

"You and me, professor," I whisper.
"You and me, beauty."


BEAUTIFUL INFINITE STARS!!!
