Resumen del Editor

Resisting an irresistible force wears you down and turns you out.

I know - I've been doing it for years.

I may not have a musical gift of my own, but I've got a nose for talent and an eye for the extraordinary.

And Marlon James - Grip to his fans - is nothing short of extraordinary.

Years ago, we strung together a few magical nights, but I keep those memories in a locked drawer and I've thrown away the key. All that's left is friendship and work.

He's on the verge of unimaginable fame, all his dreams poised to come true.

I manage his career, but I can't seem to manage my heart. It's wild, reckless, disobedient - and it remembers all the things I want to forget.

Contains mature themes.

Epic!!

Grip is more than a love story, it's a life story. The beautiful, stolen moments amidst the ugliness, unfairness and judgments of life. Grip is Epic.

Grip and Bristol's story has been long awaited. We've watched their dance while falling in love with Rhyson and Kai. We've seen their instant attraction, fears, and frustrations throughout the Soul Series. Now it's their turn.

Flow introduces young Bristol and Marlon "Grip". A simple week changes their future.

Grip brings real life struggles. Love chooses you. You don't choose love. Love is hearts and souls finding their other half regardless of race, religion, sex, income, education. It's not easy and it doesn't work without trust and respect.

Their dance spans several years and her avoidance is painful to them both. He's hurting. She's hurting. She's hurting him. Bristol makes a decision that could destroy them both and everything changes. This can't go on.

This is a HEA story but along the way are some of life's biggest obstacles, seemingly ripped from the news. Grip is as real as it gets. One week, years of hurt, many lifetimes of injustice, and a love so deep. Grip will make you think. It will make you feel the gamut of emotions. And it will give you hope.

Kennedy Ryan has written an Epic story in Grip. It is a story like no other.

This was an audio re-read and these narrators brought an already amazing story to life. Fantastic narrators. Jakobi Diem had me melting!! 🤗🤗

Emotional, slow burn, maddening and epic

I've been putting off reading this book because of how emotional I have heard it was. Something compelled me to this series that I couldn't ignore.

If you love a slow burn romance, one that can be maddening at times, but results in fireworks that are out of this world, Grip is the book for you.

The narration completely immerses you in the world of Grip and Bristol. Truly terrific performances by both narrators.

Oh my goodness I am floored! Grip is the raw, emotional, and inspirational story of an interracial couple’s determination to love, live and be happy with one another❣️ The betrayals, misunderstandings and covetousness of those involved were inspiring to all who paid attention. Jakobi Diem’s narration and deep, scratchy sexy voice is panty melting! Maxine Mitchell was excellent with her narration making you feel every emotion❣️I loved this audiobook! 5stars and counting 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩❣️

Great characters, hot romance

What an epic love story, the characters are deep, and struggle with real problems. Will definitely be reading more from the author.

I really tried not to like this book!

My own implicit bias had me thinking the worst when I heard the book sample and read the synopsis: poor black man makes it out of the hood and becomes successful then dates/marries white (or so I thought). This book is an example of love in it's pure form. I found myself midway through the book yelling at Bristol because she wouldn't give Grip a chance, lol (how's that for a change of heart). The book is very well written and read. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Epic Love Story!

This was a great continuation from Flow . A well written epic love story that also had an informative side to it. A slow & steady journey towards each other. The narrators did a great job as well. Truly love conquers all! Looking forward to Book #2!

Love conquers all

I truly enjoyed how they each found their persons and willing to love honestly, open heartedly and respectfully. This was amazing. I cannot wait to read the next one!

Storyline

I love the way Kennedy Ryan does what she do which is write a very engaging story. DWB and interracial dating are real issues that are being realized daily but we don’t know how everyone is being effected until we talk or read about it.

love!

This is definitely one of the best books I've read on here so far. Kennedy did her big one with this one. It's so raw and gives me motivation for my interracial relationship also.

The length of the book

Well written with a message. Did not care for the voice of Grip from the female side. Maybe I desire for Grip to sound a little more “hood”. Book written through to completion which was much appreciated.
