Re: Honor – Kellz Kimberly

Dear Readers,
I couldn’t wait to tell you about this one. This book did everything it was supposed to do… except keep going.
That “To Be Continued”? Yeah, that was crazy work.
I’ve been invested in The Gravehart Family since the very beginning, so getting to Honor’s story felt long overdue. He’s always been present in Kellz’s previous books (his presence was felt) but never fully explored. And in this one, we finally get to see the weight he carries.
Under Lucian’s stronghold, Honor is trying to hold everything together. His family. Their safety. His responsibilities. And on top of that, he’s trying to show up for Navy. I respect his position ( I really do!) But I’m not gonna lie… he might need a session or two with Crown’s couch lady.
Now Navy…
I struggled with her at first. I didn’t fully understand what she was asking for. In my mind, Honor had already chosen her. He moved past “wanting” her into needing her, and I thought that meant something solid. So when she kept pushing back, I was confused. But as the story unfolded, and Kellz gave Navy more space—I started to get it.
Honor needed her, yes. But Navy wanted to feel desired. And that difference? It’s subtle, but it matters.
Still… I do think a lot of what she was holding onto could have been said. Out loud. To Honor. Not to everyone else. Because truthfully, both of them would benefit from sitting down and just having the conversation they keep avoiding, or covering up with awesome sex. No fear. No walking on eggshells. Just honesty.
They both need Crown’s couch lady. Bad.
What makes their relationship frustrating is also what makes it real. The miscommunication. The emotional displacement. The tension that builds because neither one wants to push the other too far. And that last chapter? Yeah… if you know, you know.
That’s where everything they weren’t saying finally starts to show.
Kellz mentioned this was originally a 700-page book that got split into two—and honestly? I wish she had just given us all of it. Because ending it here feels like being mid-conversation and someone just walks away.
And I wasn’t ready for that.
As far as ranking this book against the others—I can’t. Each story in this series plays a role in the bigger picture of The Gravehart Family. None of them stand alone. The family the chose, not the family they were given. They build on each other, and because of that, they all matter equally.
But one thing I will say?
I understand now why it wasn’t Honor & Navy.
This wasn’t just about their relationship. This was about Honor—who he is, what he carries, and what it actually means to be “Honor.” Not just his name, but the definition. The responsibility. The weight. The way he moves, even when it costs him something.
The title fits.
Not because Navy doesn’t matter, but because this story was rooted in him.
And if I had to name my biggest frustration?
It would be Navy.
Not because her feelings weren’t valid, but because it felt like she was displacing them. Projecting them onto Honor instead of fully owning where they were coming from. And when that finally starts to surface… it hits.
Crown is still my favorite !
This book didn’t fall short.
It just… stopped. 😭
And now I’m sitting here, fully invested, waiting for the rest.
From Love,
The Letters
