I seriously don't know where to start with this one because it was just that good! Out of all of these men I knew Teddy would be the hardest to tame, and he would love even harder. The book started out so friggin hilarious! Catching up with Christian & Queen, Logic & Toy, and Dorian & Jade was great, and their interactions almost made me pee my pants in the beginning. Teddy is obviously still a bit of a sore spot for the rest of the boys, so the way they were going at it was just so comical, and really created a memorable scene.
I have to give it to Brenda Stokes Lee, the reality show angle is something I definitely did not expect, and it added that element of surprise to the book which always makes me enjoy it all the more. As usual Teddy was laying the pipe down and Ninja F'ing everyone. The eroticism in this book was at a 20, so read this one in private because you will certainly be squirming in your seat.
Zoey was the complete shocker for me. I mean her entire storyline was shocking. Before her final outcome I was thinking what in the heck was Brenda thinking with this one, but she redeemed herself just in time. Priss and Teddy were just inevitable, and everything worked out exactly as it should have. I am hoping this is not the end for these characters because I can continue reading about them forever. These are characters you can't help but to love, and know more about their lives. I hope the saga doesn't end here for them here.

Brenda managed to do what seemed to be impossible. She turned my total dislike for Teddy around. I knew he was a generous guy, however he actually had a heart...who knew.....LOL.
Its time for Teddy Bear Devane to turn his is playa card. What better why than on a Reality TV Show. I loved all the ladies and feel a special affinity towards them, maybe because my cronies and I helped to develop them. They truly were a group of classy ladies and Zoey. The thing is as much as I couldn't stand Zoey in the previous books, she had me crying real tears. Her unselfishness was so brave and heart-warming, she actually had me crying and sniffing. I really hope she gets some happiness, poor girl. I especially liked Icee and Kai together....LOL,I wonder why,I can't for the wedding. Seriously its a great story and as usual Brenda doesn't disappoint. I was waiting for Teddy to fall and he fell in style. In the end Teddy chose the absolute perfect person to wear his name. She was the truth, his soul-mate and love him flaws and all. I simply loved it and can't wait to see how the relationships between the Fabulous Six and the Six Sexies develop. I see a bright futures ahead for them and exciting stories to go along with them. Definitely a page turner you won't want to miss. Bravo Brenda!! You did the impossible. I'm officially team Teddy Bear now....LO

I liked it but come on! We read story after story of Teddy and this is all we get to sum him up? The whole dating show was alright but it didn't take chapter after chapter to tell it. Especially since he did what he did. Even that didn't last but a hot second and of all people it's her? I could see Red Sonja because she was apart of his life but the author didn't say anything about her besides the incident with Paul. Now they're so close and had a thing?
All we get is him running back overseas and the end. What a waste! Then for her to give him an out and say he could cheat that was silly. That's the reason they didn't make it in the past. Not to mention what the hell happened with her? What was the final draw that pushed her away from Austin?
Why couldn't we hear about his struggles to hold it in his pants? Why couldn't we see how he reacted with her in public after what he'd went through after the shooting? How crazy was he during her pregnancy? How was he with his kid? I mean so many other things could've been covered that would've made him into the man we all wanted him to be.
It just left so many things still out in the open and you don't get the sense of closure you should've after reading story after story of him in all these books.

What can I say about this book??? Loved it..it was sexy, erotic, romantic, and fun. This was the first book I read by Brenda Stokes Lee and found out I need to go back to read prior ones to get background story but as much as I enjoyed this one I can't wait to go back and read the books prior. The characters in this book I could see hanging with. The men I could see falling for. If you want a hot spicy read this is the book for you. Highly recommend.

This book was not impressive. The writing was not captivating. It was too much of the pleasure and not a lot of the principle!! I skipped pages just to get to the ending.
