Almost (Bad At Love Duology Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Laurea Matthews (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 34 ratings
Almost is the electric second installment in the Bad at Love duology: a second chance, sports romance that will capture your heart, leaving you wanting for more with every turn of a page.

You never truly forget your first love, always wondering what almost could have been.

After a proposal gone awry, Thalia and Sebastian's love story abruptly ended.

Three years later, Sebastian Walker, quarterback for the Charlotte Panthers, is engaged to Kiera Davis, his girlfriend of two years. Thalia Lewis is a world-renowned photographer, and Kiera is hell-bent on hiring her to photograph their special day. Thalia is unsurewhether she can set aside her feelings toward Sebastian to honor his request for his bride, until he agrees to leave her life forever if she agrees to the job.

Will Thalia and Sebastian finally beome an almost in each other's lives with two simple words? Promises are easier to make than they are to keep, and the truth always has a way of slipping into the open.

Almost is not recommended to read this as a stand-alone. Please read the first book, Little Do You Know, to have full hindsight into the tumultuous love story of Thalia Lewis and Sebastian Walker to maximize the reading experience for Almost.

    I love Bash and Lia together. It’s definitely explosive between these two and I couldn’t imagine their story ending not being together. The way Bash’s engagement ending though…..did not see that coming. I can’t wait for a next gen series for them!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A bittersweet end to a great romance duology
    Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2024
    Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5
    Spice: 🌶️🌶️/5

    This was the continuation I NEEDED! Such a bittersweet ending to the duology. I'm so sad it's over!

    Almost really put me through the wringer. The beginning had me STRESSED and sooo sooo angry with Bash. He really redeemed himself in the end but I still think he needed to grovel more. Honestly I'm still a teensy bit mad at him. Thalia is too sweet and forgiving and deserves the world. They both have gone through so much heartache but they never lost their love for each other. Kiera is a wreck and never deserved "Seb" (ugh that nickname 🤢). I wish we got more of the aftermath because I was FUMING for Bash but also super happy things worked out in Bash and Lia's favor.

    One of my absolute favorite parts of this duology ... OWEN!!! And Blake together! But Owen even on his own is ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS! I kept dying at the comments he'd make. The way him and Thalia woke up poor drunken Bash was sooo funny. Him and Blake are literally the perfect couple and I NEED MORE!!! I'm so sad that they don't have a book!

    Overall, this second chance romance was so good. It wasn't as spicy as book 1 and the ending felt a little rushed (maybe because I didn’t want it to end 🥲) but I can't wait to see what else Laurea Matthews has in store!

    Almost is the second book in the Bad At Love duology. This book was recommended to read the first book( Little Do You Know)before starting this one which I did, but I could see someone reading the second first, and still understanding the story. The story starts with an engagement gone wrong, then a fast ward 10 years. Sebastian’s calls Thalia with a favor because his fiancée wants to hire her to photograph their wedding do to the photos she took at her brothers wedding(Bash’s best friend/teammate). I will be honest the beginning had me thinking I was going to get every far, but this story has a twist that I wasn’t actually expecting. Which made me super engaged and wanting to finish the end had its own crazy twist that I actually couldn’t see coming any book that can get me to fight through like I did and I’m meaning I close the book. It just sat there for a while before I opened it again is a winner. I really recommend reading this duology by Laurea Matthews.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I love this duology..
    Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2024
    Thalia and Sebastian’s story continues. I loved the first book little do you know but this one was even better. There’s just something about their love story from childhood friends to lovers but than also being able to see the growth from young adults out of college to now that was so entirely fulfilling.

    As always Laurea did such an amazing job with real life topics that can be difficult and challenging as well as life altering. One of my favorite things about this duology is the friend group/found family. One of my favorite series I’ve read this year for sure!🤍

    5.0 out of 5 stars What a perfect story 🥺
    Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2024
    I absolutely adored this book. Laurea has this phenomenal capability of making you feel the emotions alongside the characters. The way this story is written, is like watching a movie. It is so easy to read, it flows well. I was excited for this after the first book, and I was so happy with how everything turned out.

    Bash is so loving and doting even though he’s experienced so much loss in his young life. He is talented and smart. Thalia didn’t lose any of her spunk or firecracker personality, which I was thrilled about!

    I laughed and cried throughout the story. I’m incredibly sad it’s over but am excited to see what’s next for this author! 🫶🏻
