Some battles you don’t want to win…

I thought the Marines prepared me for everything. I was mistaken.
Nothing could have prepared me for her . . . River Devereux.
She’s too sarcastic, too outspoken, too beautiful for her own good.
Her overly confident, no-holds back attitude rubs me the wrong way.

She gets in my face, pushes me back, and challenges everything I say.
Some days I want to put my hands around that pretty neck and squeeze...
But most of the time I just want to kiss her.


Liam . . . Even his name is a four-letter word.
He’s too rigid, too tall, and too sexy for his own good.
His arrogant, irritating, and cocky attitude gets under my skin.

He watches me, corrects me, and judges everything I say.
Some days I want to put my hands around his neck and strangle him...
But most of the time I just wonder what would it be like if I gave in.

When we met it was hate at first-sight. Who could have guessed hate is exactly what we needed?

Because of Liam is a laugh out loud, enemy to lovers romance featuring a sassy, no-filter heroine, and the cocky brooding hero she never imagined she needed. A satisfying HEA is guaranteed.

4.5 Stars

This book is filled with heart. Liam was a medic in the marines, and helped save people touched by war. Unfortunately, he couldn’t save his mentor and best friend, but she saved him several times. River and her twin, Skye, share a house on the campus of Riggins University. Skye is in love with Logan, who lives across the street, is a cop, and is Liam’s older brother. Liam and River meet when she decides to play a practical joke on a guy that she believes is Logan, only to discover that it is Liam. Needless to say, they start off as adversaries.

These two have gone through some huge challenges during each of their recent pasts, and are struggling with how to cope with these issues. The author does a beautiful job of examining these issues with compassion and with care, and sometimes with tears. This book is compelling, and tackles some sensitive subjects. Each protagonist has conflicts that they have been handling alone, but they find healing and support when they share their story with each other and later with the rest of their family.

This is a young adult story that has depth and maturity in it, which means it doesn’t feel like a YA story. Expect some laughter to lighten the serious times, and expect to appreciate the strength evident in these protagonists. The dialogue sounds natural and not stilted, and the entire book feels very heartfelt. This is definitely worth a read!

Because of Liam is soo, soo good! It's such a motivating and empowering read!!

You met River in Because of Logan, and right off the bat, I wanted to know more about her. She's the twin that everyone gravitated towards. The twin that stood out, whose light shone the brightest. And, underneath it all, I could tell there was more to her story! I wanted that story and it did not disappoint.

The emotional toll River faced, broke my heart, but shines a light on a very serious issue! The way the story was told was fascinating and brilliant. Liam's demons are all too real and emotional as well. Overall Because of Liam, is fantastic!

Omg I was thought I was prepared to read this book but 5 stars are not enough. I loved this book and I didn’t want it to end. Book two is Liam and River’s story and both are a little broken and they don’t like each other from the get go but there are sparks between them. They are both strong individuals but together they are so much more. A beautiful story about love, healing and accepting that bad things will happen and it’s not your fault. I did have tears during this book and I am definitely a fan of Erica’s books.

I love books where the main characters overcome huge obstacles to get where they are. Liam is a veteran who saw too much in the war. River is a woman who has lived through a traumatic event (please pay attention to the trigger warnings). They start off contentious, but build a relationship on trust and understanding.

Liam and Holly’s siblings found their HEA, so now it is their turn. The family dynamics are fun, and the way they find the HEA to their romance is quite fulfilling.

I fell in love with this author with Logan and Skyes story.
But one the thing that makes me stop reading is inaccurate information. In the first book of the series Liam is mentioned and he’s mentioned as being a MEDIC in the MARINE CORPS. I laughed it off thinking the author was just making it seem like Logan was just not the knowledgeable so I kept reading.
I started this book and it was good. Grammar and everything spot on. And I started to get into it and it helped when Liam corrected Logan saying he was a corpsman. I fist pumped because I was worried for a second.
But then River was describing Liam and he had long hair to almost his shoulders. Which, if he was just home from deployment, is so wrong. He would’ve had short hair. A beard? Maybe. Handful of groups who deploy can grow out their beards depending on their MOS or job.
And then he said he was in the Marines. SO. WRONG.
There is NO medic of ANY KIND in the Marine Corps. Corpsman is correct, but that’s NAVY! NAVY!!!!!
A corpsman is assigned to an infantry unite but they are always and will forever be Navy!!!!!!!! Not Marines!
Navy owns Marine Corps. And the medical side is always Navy.
It ruined the entire book. I couldn’t keep reading the wrong information. I’m so so upset. More research should’ve been put into this book. He was either a Marine or Navy Corpsman.
I might be over exaggerating but I live the military life. The inaccuracy is disappointing.
I gave it 3 stars because it’s good. But it lost 2 stars because I feel like a quick google search to see if there were medics in the marines didn’t happen.

I really enjoyed reading this book. The characters of River and Liam are amazing - their chemistry burns right off the page. The storyline tackles a difficult subject and does so with grace and dignity. But there should really be a trigger warning for those readers who may be sensitive to issues of sexual assault. Having said that, the author delivers a beautiful story filled with emotion. I highly recommend this book.

This book took me through a rollercoaster of emotions. I laughed out loud, held my breath and cried.

River is the perfect mix of feisty, smart, with a big heart. And Liam is the perfect brooding hero who we get to read working through his issues.

Erica deals with some really hard hitting stuff in this book, but it never felt like a chore to read, or as if I was being lectured to.

Just brilliant. Really glad I found this series.
