The long awaited third and final book in the Lessons From the RACK Series from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Tara Sue Me.

Five years ago, Terrence and Ronnie’s evening of incomplete pleasure ended with unspoken plans to get back together soon. Those plans died a slow and painful, public death when their private parting was captured by the paparazzi, and their identities were published for everyone to see, including each other. Because while Ronnie had no idea the Dom she’d played with was Hollywood’s golden boy, Terrence Knight, he didn’t know she was the just-turned nineteen year old daughter of the most conservative man in the US Senate.

When their paths cross again at RACK Academy five years later, they’re both wary of the other and vow to keep their distance. It’s a promise they don’t believe they’ll have any trouble keeping. However, they didn’t count on the not-so-subtle matchmaking attempts of the two couples residing at the academy with them for the summer, Fulton and Andie Matthews, and Lennox and Marie MacLure. As the summer goes on, they find it more and more difficult to resist the temptation of giving into what they both want - to finish what they started five years ago.

But the forces behind that long ago night have yet to be discovered, and the truth has the ability to bring an end to Terrence and Ronnie before they can truly start.

 

The conclusion of the Lessons from the RACK series is here! I’ve enjoyed all of the couples from this series as a whole and seeing them all again in this book was really nice. The characters are quick to catch my attention and the storyline held my interest throughout. I would have liked a bit more development on what happened to her during the fallout of their original scandal and then more time with them at the end to develop their relationship would have been welcome, but overall I enjoyed their story, I enjoyed the cameos of previous couples and I enjoyed the overall feel of the book.

Terrence is successful and commanding as a Hollywood actor and dominant. I enjoyed his personality very much.

Ronnie walked away from a lot after their scandal years ago and she finally feels like this new adventure might be her step in the right direction … until she sees a blast from the past and it all crumbles down around her again.

I recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a sensual BDSM storyline with a group of characters who treasure their close friendships as love finds them all.

They started in Miami…

And found forever in New York!

Prince Ras has a few weeks of freedom left before he must marry for duty. He doesn’t plan on wasting a second! But when he meets Gracie aboard a cruise ship, he recognizes the same need for adventure in her eyes. As they travel the East Coast, Gracie welcomes the distraction, which takes her further from her disastrous past—and closer to Ras! Except the secret he’s hiding could change everything…

 

A star-crossed royal romance! Prince Ras had my attention from the very first page and I was quickly hooked on watching him have his adventure. The pace was just right for the characters to endear themselves to the reader’s heart and seeing their love play out is rewarding.

Prince Ras is kind-hearted and loyal to his country, but he wants a few weeks of not being under scrutiny before he has to wed and begin his more stringent family duties.

Gracie is the sweetest and really brought a likable character to life.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a royal romance with a twist!

This is one fire

He never wants to extinguish

Since childhood, firefighter Graydon Halloran has been secretly in love with Alejandra Brooks Flores. Now, with Aleja working as the building contractor near to where he's staying, it’s becoming impossible for Gray to hide his feelings. But Aleja's situation is complicated. She’s pregnant with IUI twins and she isn’t looking for love. Can Gray convince his lifelong crush that he can make her dreams come true?

 

Heartfelt characters, adorable connections and just a really fun return to Sutter Creek, Montana! With the eighth book in this small town series a childhood crush finally pays off when firefighter Graydon Halloran finally gets the attention of contractor Alejandra Brooks Flores and sparks flare and ignite.

Gray is adorable and I adored every minute of him on the pages.

Aleja is a real go getter who isn’t afraid to take chances to get to where she is today, but she’s afraid the chance she might take on her heart and career by falling for a younger man who is wrapped up in the heart of the town might be more than she can handle.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a fast paced small town romance that’s always filled with love, laughter and family as drama paves the way towards forever.
