I feel a little bad for saying this but I kind of wish I had stopped after I read the first two books. Not that I didn't like the last three but I adored Wyatt and Rylan and their books were great. Then I didn't really like Beau's and I was looking forward to Ford's and it just kind of missed the mark for me.

I had a feeling that Ford's heroine was going to be Stephanie. We had gotten a bit of their history through all of the books, but I didn't really know the details. And everything I knew of Ford throughout those books I wanted him to have epic. Then we got to his book and I loved him even more and I was even more sure he deserved epic.

Stephanie just wasn't epic enough for Ford for me. Her actions from their initial relationship were selfish and I probably could have forgiven her that because of her age. But then she was so hot and cold, and I just found her so annoying. I wanted her to fight for Ford and be all in, but I didn't get that from her.

The epilogue with all of the crew and their kids was cute and a nice ending. And I was glad to see how happy Stephanie and Ford were. The drama was good, and the book was well written, and I might read more of the author's books in the future if I find my big girl panties again.

Gah that book was so sweet. And so packed full of drama and emotion, I couldn't put it down. The whole series has been the perfect balance between hot, sweet, emotional and drama. And each has been stand-alone but reading them back to back they have built perfectly on each other. Getting a little more of this beautiful found family in each book has been awesome.

Tulip and Louis had a brief encounter in one of the earlier books and I honestly thought that was the end of it. So, when I started this book and realised that Tulip was the heroine I was dying to see how this was going to play out. I really liked Louis from seeing him in all the other books and getting to know him better just made him all the more lovable.

I didn't really know much about Tulip going into this but getting to know her made me want to see her be treated like the queen she deserved to be. And Louis was the perfect man for the job. They each had so many demons to overcome, and I enjoyed watching the way they supported each other and how much they were devoted to making their relationship work.

And now I can't wait to read Ford's book next. Right after I read the included novella.

First up I need to say that I am not a fan of rockstar romance, it's just not my thing. I actively avoid them except for a few exceptions. I also don't go out of my way to read second chance romance. Add in an alcoholic and the unholy trifecta is complete. So, I went into this initially not knowing who's book it was. Once I knew it was Beaumont's I knew we were getting two of those three, but I persevered.

Meeting Hutton, and realising her history with Beaumont I was bummed. And I actually struggled a little to read the book. But I'm no quitter so I fought through. I liked Hutton. I didn't like Beaumont. He was a selfish acehole and I don't feel like he ever really deserved Hutton. It was all circumstantial and all about him and his needs. Which sucked because after the last two books and how amazing those guys were, I wanted him to be the guy who walked through fire for his second chance, and he just didn't.

But thankfully we now have Louis who is awesome and Ford who I am already a little in like with. So, I am going to grab them on KU and hope they wash the angry I'm feeling from Beaumont out of me.

After waiting forever to read convict I'm completely hooked on this series. Generally, I steer away from dark or emotional books because I'm a bit of a wuss. I find it really hard not to let it affect my mood and being a miserable bitch with a house full of kids is impossible. But every now and then I can't get enough of them because they keep me so engrossed in all the feels.

Being a Hayley Faiman virgin going into that last book I have to say she's been added to my TBR. And I had this on my kindle within minutes of putting down Convict. But I needed a night to get my head out of their story and into this one. And I picked this one up thinking it was Beaumont's story. Discovering it was Wyatt's wasn't a disappointment and I was happy to see Exeter was his heroine.

Wyatt was such a complete hero in the last book I just knew I was going to love him. Especially after our introduction to Exeter and hearing very briefly what skeletons were in her closet. I knew he was the right man for her, and I had to know how they knew each other. I was a little disappointed with Wyatt's past. Or maybe disappointed is the wrong word. I guess I expected more from him than his history with Sammi.

But this book was as well written as the last. And it could be read as a standalone but the characters are awesome, and the first book was great and they are on KU so you know, binge read. I don't know who's story we are getting next but I'm off to grab it now. After I read the short story for Emily because that girl deserves a well hung, prince.

It's funny how many times I have wanted to read this book and put it down because I was worried it would be too sad or dark for my mood. And now that I've read it I wish I had pulled up my big girl panties earlier. It definitely had moments where I teared up a little bit but for the most part the story was just beautiful.

Rylan and Channing had both been through such a terrible upbringing and sadly Rylan had chosen to follow in his parents’ path. Channing had worked hard not to be her mother but after making some naive choices found herself in a compromised position. From the first time they laid eyes on each other they had an instant connection that I felt through the pages.

Both Rylan and Channing had beautiful hearts and I loved how hard they were both prepared to work to make the best of things. And to be the best possible version of themselves for each other but especially for the innocent life they were committed to from the start. Honestly through everything I couldn’t have loved them or their actions more. Even when everything was against them, they just held their heads up and worked to make things better.

They had some awesome secondary characters around them who I’m really looking forward to getting to know better when they each get their own stories. They also had some truly horrible people who thankfully got some of what they deserved, and I loved that the author wrapped up most of the strings from Rylan and Channing’s story. There wasn’t any miracle or fairy god mother making things magically amazing there was just real life and a continuation of them working their arses off.
