It took me time to write this review because I honestly was left speechless but in the most amazing way both Tom and Phoenix were everything I hoped and didn’t know I needed. Krista and Becca really outdid themselves Silver Sweet is one of my top reads of all time.
This is the story of Tom Cobalt after his band implodes his only hope to reach his dream is none other that Phoenix St. Pierre the hot drummer but also problem child of the label, Together they will try to reach their dreams without burning all down that is.
I love this book so much words failed me to truly describe how amazing it was as soon I got it I dive in and couldn’t put down I try to savor it as much as I could but both Tom and Phoenix story consume me. The banter, the angst, the push and pull, the chemistry it was all so good. From the very beginning when both first met they both felt admiration for each other but you could feel through the pages the simmering chemistry between them it was like a magnetic connection that couldn’t stay away but both been burned before and their focus was the success of their band, those chapters were you could feel the tension and longing were such a delicious torture but when they finally give in, it was the most amazing moment I feel giddy just thinking about it. If I’m not mistaken the authors describe their love as that of soulmates and and it couldn’t be a more perfect description for Phoenix and Tom they were meant to be together no one could have match the intensity of Tom better than Phoenix and vice versa both were meant to reach their dreams together and walk in life together. In a way the intensity of their love reminded me Marrow’s love but more softer and unique to them.
One thing i noticed in the story is that I feel the romance was highlighted a bit more here than in Burn Bright but fear not we know that the core of the series is family and friendship dynamics and both authors balance that so well here that the romance, the friendship, and siblings dynamics don’t feel overshadowed by each other so I loved that and happy to say we got so many amazing moments with the siblings both the Cobalt and the St. Pierre brothers. Honestly the story was perfection as an OG PhoenixTom shipper I truly manifest their story, it did came with a bit of twist but nonetheless a truly masterpiece by Becca and Krista.
Overall I’m loving how the authors are shaping out the serie; The cobalt siblings have always had this mysterious aura around them so is fun to finally being able to be in their head and see them fall in love. I can’t wait for what’s coming next we got some big reveals that had my jaw on the floor so truly can’t wait for the next book and hopefully we get to know who’s 4th, 5th and 6th soon cause I’m desperate to know both Becca and Krista keep me addicted to their books.
