The
first thought that came to mind when I put this book down was that they saved
the best for last but then I sat back and reflected and honestly, they were all
equally awesome. Each book had a different trope, and each sister had their own
uniqueness and each of the men had their own history that made each book
different enough that I binged all four of these back-to-back without feeling
like I needed a break. They could be read as stand alones but they didn’t recap
the family history, they just covered it from their own point of view and I
loved that they were each affected so differently because that’s life’s beauty.
I
really expected to get Isabel’s story a lot sooner in the line-up after seeing
the moment that Aiden and Isabel first crossed paths and assuming he was going
to be the love interest for her story. So, waiting until the last book was just
a huge tease. Add in the fact that Isabel was definitely the most closed off
sister and I never really felt like I knew her as well as the others. And once I
started reading her book, I realised I really didn’t know anything about her.
Which makes sense in the scheme of her age when her mother left.
Aiden
and that prologue had me nervous that he wasn't the best choice for Isabel. I
always hate the dead spouse thing. It's such a tightrope to get the balance
right for the second chance. Especially when there are children involved. But
it was done so well and Aiden's initial hesitance even made it better. Obviously,
Isabel knew that found family is as precious as born family, so her love and
acceptance of Aiden's past made it even more of a non-issue.
But
now I'm devastated that the series is over. Although I have a few more Wolves
books to read so hopefully I'll catch up with these guys again soon. Although I
accidentally read Emmett's book first without realising who he was. Not that I
can be upset since he led me to this awesome binge.
Geez
these books just keep hitting me in the feels and you would think by now I
would be expecting it a little more but nope. I don't even know how I thought
this book was going to play out with the whole story being based around a
whoops baby, but I really didn't think it would have that much depth.
Not
that the author's books haven't proven to me that she can deliver the deep,
just that I come out of each of them with a smile and an OMG I need the next
book now. I think I forget that I spent half of the book going holy shit how
are they going to deal with this emotional fallout. And then the Ward family
close ranks and remind me how badly I want to be adopted by a fictional family.
So,
Lia was awesome and completely mature and well-grounded, and all boss bitch and
I loved her. She put her baby and her emotional health over her hormones and
honestly deserves a medal since she had a hot soccer player with a British
accent waiting for her in bed. Jude was ok. He was an idiot, but in that good
way where he realised it and went right to work to make everything perfect for
Lia.
I
am loving this Ward sister binge and getting so much of Paige and Logan and
these athletes these ladies keep finding. I have been dying for Isabel's book
since Molly's book and yes, it's already on my kindle. I love KU.
Gah,
that story was so hot and yet so sweet. I put down the last book then read the
teaser for this one and immediately grabbed this on KU.
Reading
this was a lot more emotional than I expected from reading the blurb. I think I
expected a cute little mistaken identity between twins or maybe some BFF drama.
And what I got was so much deeper and made me feel so much for both Claire and
Bauer. Their history was so different, and they seemed to have such opposite
personalities and yet they were so awesome together.
There
was a lot less of the Ward family than I would have liked. But they definitely
made up in quality for what we lacked in quantity. I have held off reading the
teaser for the next book because I know once I read it, I'll be on KU grabbing
it. And now my patience has run out and I have to see what's next. Toodles
I
recently binged the Washington Wolves series and when I got to the end I wanted
more. Thankfully when I started stalking, I found this series and reading the
blurb for this I immediately grabbed it from KU. I am so excited to get to stay
with some awesome characters and get to know more about some others.
Since
I had read the previous books, my first introduction to Noah and Molly was when
Molly was 16 and trying to seduce Noah. And I thought that was the end of that.
From the first page of this book, I was so invested in both characters. And
having that moment being such a pivotal point for Noah was icing on the cake.
Molly
was obviously older and wiser. And she has matured into an awesome person who I
really liked. The whole story was told from a unique angle, and I enjoyed
watching it all unfold. I honestly think I would have loved this if I'd read it
as a standalone, but I adored it having the background knowledge of the
secondary characters.
Thankfully
this series and a few other related books are available in KU, so I'm going to
be wrapped up in the Washington Wolves for a while. Kisses
