I've loved all the books in the LTZ world and this one was no different.
The characters of Jace and Alex (aka Poppy) were more emotional than the others, mainly down to the
issues Jace has had with an ex and Poppy with her medical problems.
Well written and informative, this book was a roller coaster of happy, then sad, then back to happy.
I was rooting for them all the way.
As with the other books, it's good to catch up with the other characters and find out what's been happening in their world.

I've read and enjoyed every single one of the Less Than Zero series. What sets this particular set of books apart from other similar romances, is that it doesn't end with that first initial love story. The first four books dealt with the beginnings of the romances that each member of the Less than Zero band has. We then have their encores, the story of what comes after that initial flush of love. A chance to really test the couples and to find out how strong their relationships really are. An opportunity to see that they really will have a happily ever after and not buckle when faced with a bit of difficulty.
For Jace and Alex, they find themselves dealing with fertility issues, endometriosis and miscarriage. These are heavy topics, but ones that are dealt with in a compassionate way in this story. Jace and Alex are a great couple, they were the ones that I first met, coming to this series originally at book two, their relationship has been one of my favourites and that wasn't diminished when I read what they faced.
This was another great instalment in this series and I'm looking forward to reading what's in store for the other couples.

It’s the first book I read by Kaylene and I’m very impressed with the storyline. From the very first chapter ‘Prologue’ I was hooked on the story. It’s such a smooth story with bums of all the real-life situations, you may say it’s a fictional novel but anybody can relate to the situations. I admire the way the story connected with my mind and heart, it felt all so real and my heart goes for Alex. Knowing a story from both the MC pov is a blessing and leaves very little to the imagination.

This book is the extension of the previous book in the series about Jace & Alex but I didn’t feel any need to read that one first. Although if you can read that book first you’ll be able to connect even in more depth. The story is well explained and the love & compassion shared is to die for. I enjoyed reading the book and felt very sad at many points when the story goes down but the last para of the epilogue just healed everything for me. You can rarely get the love you dreamed of, so don’t take anything for granted. You never know what happens when.

This is the sixth book in this phenomenal series, and I loved Jace and Alex’s story. Jace is the sexy drummer in the band, and Alex is strong willed with a huge heart, and these two complement each other perfectly. This story covers some sensitive woman issues which are devastating. This is a beautifully written emotional roller coaster, which has family, friendships, tragedy, heartbreak, and love, which leads to a steamy and addictive page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

I have recently found Kaylene Winter through her audiobooks. She is an amazing storyteller. I enjoyed listening to the first three books so much that I jumped at the chance to read this book when I saw it offered. I was so invested and wanted more of Jace and Alex after the audiobook. KW delivered an incredible encore!!!

This book was heartbreaking. I cried. I was frustrated and angry. I was devastated. Not only for Jace and Alex, but all of LTZ band. This was an incredibly emotional read. At times, my frustration towards Jace was overwhelming. I didn't like him even though I loved him. He is such a guy. And that was something that jumped at me in this book. How real the actions of the characters were. I wasn't suspending belief.

By the end, I was sniling and satisfied. Except the ending! Gah. I STILL WANT MORE. It deserves more than five stars. I'm still invested. I don't want to say bye to these characters. I know there is more to come, thank goodness.

Since I read this out of order there are couple spoilers for me. But I'd have know who Conner and Zane ended up with if I'd read the descriptions. I wonder what I might have missed by not reading Ty and Zoey's Encore first. Would some things be better understood, etc. I will most definitely back track though. This is shaping up to be a favorite series of mine.

Thank you NetGalley and Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op for the ARC of this book. This is my voluntary and honest review.

Rock Romance At Its Finest

From the beginning I fell in love with the guys from LTZ and I couldn’t have been more excited to know that there are encore books to this amazing series. I had loved Jace and Alex the first time around so this book just made me fall harder for the couple.

Jace is still the hot, loveable rocker who never gave up on the love of his life and Alex is a strong amazing woman and now mother to little Lena. Jace and Lena had some amazing father/daughter times that made my heart melt.

As for the band, which has been on a break, had come close to finally getting back out there until something happened that tore the band apart. Now will there be a return of LTZ? I can’t wait to find out because all of these guys are true rock stars.

I loved how this author wasn’t afraid to tackle a very real and devastating topic and it was done with heart. The trials that Jace and Alex had to endure was heartbreaking but I loved how they leaned on each other to make it through.

I highly recommend this series and I cannot wait for the next encore!!

Wow - as a reader there is nothing better than continuing to read about a favorite character and Kaylene Winters knocked it out of the park with the continuation of Jace and Alex's story. Things are changing and priorities are shifting - can the band survive the growing pains? Once you start this book you will not be able t put it down. It will make you laugh, it will make you cry, but in the end it will only prove once again that these character are one we will soon not forget and that LTZ will always be a favorite.

“The woman’s been in my bloodstream for over a decade. Just like I’ve been in hers.”

Alex and Jace were my first and favorite couple from LTZ and I could not wait to get my hands on Limitless: Encore. After Endless: Encore I knew that they were going through something that was going to rip my heart out and I was not wrong. The story that followed was a beautifully emotional and powerfully captivating story of love, trust and healing.

“What Alex and I have transcends love. We are two souls who have found peace in our togetherness.”

The issue that Alex and Jace were facing is heartbreaking and emotionally devastating, but one that many couples struggle with so it was refreshing to see it addressed. I loved how it challenged their connection, but it never lessened it. In fact, it strengthen them as a couple and deepened their trust in their love. They fought everything together and came out stronger in the end.

Jace and Alex still have my heart and I loved watching more of their story unfold. I’m loving this series of a more in-depth looks into the LTZ couples after their initial happily ever afters. I’m excited to see what’s next for Connor and Ronni.

5 Stars for the horse whisperer and her rockstar!

This series just keeps getting better and better. I love how the author is going back to each couple and letting you know how they are doing after their supposed "happily-ever-after" in their first book. Everyone knows that happily-ever-after can change at any point in a relationship ... people change and circumstances change. I also love how the books are written simultaneously ... it's a really different approach.

This book follows Jace and Alex and they are my favorite couple in the series. Don't get me wrong I really liked all the other couples ... I just LOVED Jace and Alex. I love how Alex didn't just follow Jace and fit into his life. She had dreams of her own and didn't give up on them. And Jace didn't give up on Alex ... he knew what he wanted and was willing to wait for the woman he loved. Then there's Lena .... I love it when there are kids in a book and she is just a little sweetheart! I don't want to say too much and wreck the story for others, but I highly recommend this series - especially is you like rockstars.
