This wild interwoven story finally comes to a conclusion.  While I’m usually very sad when a series comes to an end, I felt like all the story lines wrapped up appropriately.  Not everybody gets a happy ending but everyone gets their just desserts.

Erica attempts a little role reversal with Blake, which is hot and comical all at the same time.  All’s well that ends simultaneously.  (perhaps I took a little leeway with that quote) 😉

Blake finally has to face up to his bending of laws, which is great realization for him.

Emma Chase is a master at writing about arrogant men that you can’t help but fall in love with!

This book is hilarious!  I found myself laughing out loud while I was reading in public.  I got a few stares.  Instead of feeling embarrassed, I thought to myself – you really need to pick up a copy of this book.

One of my favorite parts that I can share without spoiling too much:

Rosaleen, the little girl, feels sorry that she just vomited in the kitchen.

Jake’s responds, “It’s okay, Rosaleen – it’s just puke.  It’s not a big deal.”  The dog then starts to eat the puke.  “See? . . . You did me a favor – now I won’t have to feed the dog.”

I most adore the tender moments.  When Jake admits while he is kissing Chelsea that if nothing more occurred, he could be happy.

With 6 kids (or cockblockers as Jake refers to them) in the house, Chelsea and Jake need to get a little creative.  The scenes are hot, fun, and desperately passionate.

All in all, HOT, FUN, & SINCERE.  Did I mention HOT?

“He’s the sort of guy who’d never be in any woman’s friend zone or brother zone.  He’s the sort of guy you fantasize about having for a lover . . .”  Saint is the kind of guy that makes for fantastic romance novels.

Would a man with a reputation for being a womanizer and that can afford anything his heart desires ever be interested in a single woman of moderate means?  I love that this story is told from Rachel’s perspective’s exclusively.  As the reader, we are just as much in the dark as she is as to how Saint behaves when she isn’t around.

Will he hurt Rachel just as her friend was dumped by Paul?  I found Rachel’s friend incessant reminding of her own personal drama absolutely annoying in a very real kind of way.  Everyone knows at least one person that can only see things from their own perspective and unsuitably try to project those same feelings or circumstances into other people’s business.

BEWARE:  Ends with a cliffhanger!  I immediately ordered the next 2 books.

The story of Blake and Erica continues to be hot, sexy, and full of surprises.  As Blake and Erica have fallen in love, the heat and passion between them becomes limitless.

Blake shows a more caring side in this book, which makes him even more attractive.

Despite having enjoyed the first three novels in this series, I was a bit hesitant to read this book.  Other novels that revolve around to two lovers and reach the 4th novel in the series seem to fizzle.  That is not the case at all in the Hacker Series.  As I discussed in an earlier post, Meredith Wild has constructed a beautiful web of characters that constantly keeps the story fresh and interesting.

“That wasn’t the fairy tale, but it was real.”

This isn’t a flowery romance.  It’s a story with a complicated past that leads to intense feelings.  Deep hatred that straddles a thin line to deep passion.

The blessed yin to the happily ever after in a romance book is the gut-wrenching yang.  Samantha Young nailed it,

“I hated that hope.  I hated that it made me feel so weak and broken by him.  Like without that hope, I’d never, ever quite be the same again.”

On a side note, I highly suggest reading Samantha Young’s other series, On Dublin Street.  The series and characters are addictive.  See some related posts:

Crazy-topsy-turvey emotional roller coaster!  Honestly, in the beginning I literally hated the main male character.  Many times the book made me think that he had lost his everliving mind.  I got so angry that I actually had to put the book down during the first evening of reading.  I desperately wanted someone to smack him.  On a few occasions the grandmother threatens to shoot him.  I was a bit disappointed when she held back on her instinct.

Did I hate the book?  ABSOLUTELY NOT!  It was great!  I highly recommend reading it.  Any romance book that can stir up that much emotion in a reader, is a good book.

How did I get past my negative feelings for Stanton?

First, I loved how strong the female characters are in this book.  Both Jenny and Sophia were excellent compliments to Stanton’s arrogance and idiocy.

Second, despite his numerous missteps, Stanton was a very sincere father to his daughter Presley.

Third, Emma Chase’s writing is funny and highly entertaining.

Fourth, (I’m a bit ashamed to admit) I read the epilogue before reading the second half of the book.  I couldn’t help myself.  I’m an HEA junkie and Stanton’s antics were stressing me out.  I realize the error of my ways and thoroughly admit that my actions warrant punishment.

Fifth, Stanton does redeem himself.  He grovels well.

I looking forward to reading the next in the series: Sustained.

How to cope with stress, anger, and frustration?  For Jackson and Sylvia, there’s only one answer – SEX.  Jackson and Sylvia struggle through numerous challenges, an almost endless barrage of attacks that threaten to devastate and derail their life.  This culminates in excellent fodder to ignite the passion between them.  Jackson controls his fury and turns it into deliriously sensuous ecstasy.

WARNING: J. Kenner’s scenes are hot enough to cause one to blush, sweat, and pant with need.

As a series, I was very happy with how it came to a conclusion.  Relationships with the side characters all had a satisfying end.

This book breaks away from the cliche of secretary sleeping with the millionaire boss.  The female assistant is both likable and respectable; and the male boss doesn’t abuse his position of power and has enough insecurities to make him more real.

Haylee is an intelligent woman, graduating from Stanford with a 4.0 gpa and earning a 172 on her LSAT.  She uses her knowledge of Spanish, Manderine, and Cantonese to assist her boss.  Despite her 130lb size 6 body, she ends up with a few modeling opportunities, which is where she meets Josh.  She isn’t a wallflower.  She makes the first move and refuses to sit by and be pathetic when Josh insists on attending public events with other women.  Most importantly, she isn’t afraid to call Josh out when he behaves like a jackass.

The fact that Josh’s ex-wife cheated on him makes him a bit insecure and prevents him from not freely willing to open up to Haylee.  Not withstanding, he can be genuinely caring and considerate.  And let’s not forget, he’s generous and exceptional in the bedroom.

The intimacy and respect between Josh and Haylee feels authentic.  Josh says, “Sometimes I think you hold me in higher regard than I probably deserve.” Haylee responds, “Sometimes we all need someone who does.”

The heat between the two of them is palpable despite the two of them trying to keep their relationship a secret.  They can’t hide the way they feel from each other in front of their friends.  I love how Josh’s best friend and brother behave in order to push Josh to reveal his true feelings for Haylee.
