Met her. Got familiar. Liked it. A lot. Wouldn’t mind some more. Same ol’ story— they meet, roll around in the sheets, and get their happily ever after… or don’t— right? So what makes ours any different? Simple. This story involves one Presley Alexandra Beckett. The woman who takes any and every damn thing I thought I knew and flips, twists, distorts, denies and defies it until I lose track of up … twists, distorts, denies and defies it until I lose track of up from down.
Just when I start to think I’ve got her figured out… I uncover the real reason why Presley spends her life hiding behind a wall of sassy, stubborn deflection.
And now?
Now I fix it.
Free her.
Make her mine.
Whether she likes it or not.

OMG Becky, look at this book! Y’all are going to want to read all the words from Hall! All of them. Sutton and the princess part two. Push and pull, squad and crew. I just can’t ever get enough.
Oh where to start with Sutton and Presley…..this book had my emotions all over the place from the very start.
Presley is a princess there is no doubt about that one, and honestly there were MANY times I wanted to shake her or smack her upside the head. She is her own worst enemy, but there is clearly a lot more to her story than we have seen so far.
Sutton is, well, amazing but at the same time I wanted to shake him as well and tell him to stop being walked all over. He is a wonderful man and truly loves her but doesn’t know what to do with her most of the time, not his fault, but the frustration he feels is palpable.
We are left with a bit of a cliffy on this one, can’t wait to read book 2!
I would recommend this book to anyone.
Absolutely amazing. Love this family and all the banter between them. Presley is definitely one of my faves next to Daney. Can’t wait for book 2. SE Hall, you did it again with another 5 star read.
I enjoyed this book. It was however the first book I have read with these characters. I struggled at first to figure out who was who. Overall I enjoyed Presley and Sutton. The back and forth banter was great (even if Presley did act like a princess 😉 ). I look forward to reading more and catching up with the squad.
Have you ever read a book and done a complete 180 degree turn from your original thoughts? I thought this was going to be an epic comedic romance but that is misleading. It’s funny and completely sucks you in but it’s also got a serious shadow lurking.
Elusive is a road block. A “travel down the happy road of life at 80mph and miss the end of the unfinished bridge” kind of road block. I see it. I slammed on the brakes but only someone looking for trouble will notice it.
I spent a good chunk of this book laughing my butt off. This crew is legit over the top awesomeness. With awards for every category…
Craziest Aunt
Most Lewd Converstaion
Ball smacking fun..
I think it needs more…
Stage 5 Clinger

Best Use of new vocab words…
As well as others
I seriously want to be a part of this crazy town clan. I will take a num Erin and get on the waitlist because this family is the only kind of family people should have. Loving, caring, and over the tip…I mean top.
I know what’s coming. I have a terrible feeling. I am 99.99% certain. And it makes my stomach clench and my heart hurt because it’s only going to get worse before it gets better. And only if Presley let’s people in…
It’s killing me that I don’t have book 2 yet; and at the same time, I’m afraid that I’m right. Either way, I am definitely looking forward to it. Hold my hand while I wait.

I was waiting for Presley’s story and SE Hall did not disappoint!
This book had me laughing hysterically, wanting to throw my kindle, and it kept me on the edge of my seat. The writing was great. And definitely had the SE Hall vibes I look for when I read any of her books!
While Presley is moody and snippy and some may not like it, I love her personality! I’m dying to know more about what is truly going on with her. And while yes she does make me want to throw my kindle…she also makes me want to keep reading!
And Sutton *swoon* he’s the perfect mix of romantic, heartfelt and alpha all wrapped up into one perfect package. I love how patient he is with P, and even when she’s putting up walls he just keeps trying to knock them down.
The other thing that I loved about this story was getting to catch up with the crew again! The banter and that strong family bond feeling. It was perfect!
Now I just have to sit and try to patiently wait for book 2!
Presley, oh Presley. I was looking forward to her story and it doesn’t disappoint. I love the crew and the squad and the writing is fantastic. I can’t wait to read book two!!
SE Hall is an instant buy author for me.
This book just solidifies that for me.
Presley and Sutton just pull you in and having you needing more and more.
It’s full of love and drama. What more could you ask for.
I have to say I was blown away. Yes the ending is a cliffhanger, but the words in the first half will have you hanging on every word. SE Hall never disappoints to keep you entertained and laughing out loud with her wittiness and sarcasm. Presley is a mystery with her hard ass attitude and witty comebacks. She is looking to settle down and doesn’t want to see what right is in front of her or doesn’t want to admit it. Sutton is all alpha and is a man that know what he wants. What he wants is Presley and will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Well done as usual.
When you’ve read a series like Evolve, you think the author can’t top it. Then, with the release of Embody, you have high hopes that the second coming of Crew, the Squad, will be able to hold their own against their parents’ books. I can tell you that not only has JT kept up to what we expected, being that he’s Dane’s son, but Presley is holding her own (and with a father like Sawyer, let’s face it, we were either getting totally sassy, or total recluse).
Presley and Sutton’s story has definitely started out strong, and with that cliffhanger (obviously, it’s book 1), you’re going to want book 2 ASAP. The heat, sass, emotion and intensity of this book will not let you down!
*Patiently* waiting for book 2.
Wow! This is really an amazing book! I love S E Hall!
Oh my stars! I fell in love with “the squad” from the start and have been chomping at the bit to get my hands on Presley’s story. And while I know we will be getting more in book two, Hall did not disappoint with this one. Presley is just as sassy and sarcastic as I hoped she would be.
Sutton is sweet, sexy, and all the Alpha! I fell for him from the start and I only fell deeper as the story progressed. I can’t help but hope he gets what he wants. I cannot wait for book two in this duet! I need the rest of their story!!!
SE Hall has done it again. Laughter and so much more with each turn of the page
Sawyer is my favorite book boyfriend of ALL TIME, so I was super excited to read Paisley’s book because of him. I love how much he was in it, and just how adorable he is as a dad. Even better, Paisley is JUST LIKE HIM! I love it so much!!! I loved every single thing about it!
Poor Sutton just keeps trying and Paisley is pushing so hard! He really seems to know what he wants in life, he even meets her entire “criteria”, but she’s still so hesitant. I can’t wait until the next book to finally get the truth out of her! There are so many layers to her, and it makes me so sad that her cousins don’t really know much about her either. She’s so diehard about her family, that it’s really hard to see what the really Paisley entails.
That cliff hanger at the end was INTENSE!!! SE Is such a beautiful genius for that one, I can’t even be mad at it! It is the perfect set up to get me soooooo darn excited for the next book. It can’t get here soon enough! I’m so extremely grateful that she kept going with the children of the Evolve series <3
