Chicago Racketeers #4
Permanently Pucked
Chicago Racketeers book four
I don’t do casual hookups. Never have. Not even with the three supposed-to-be one-night stands I had six months ago.
They all turned into the loves of my life.
But now I know exactly what to do with the three hot guys I met at that serendipitous hockey game.
Love them.
Forever.
At least that’s the plan.
(Okay, yes, there’s still a lot of headboard-banging nights--and days--happening around here too. And days.)
Our house is truly a home, the naked-times are better than any dirty romance I’ve ever read…or written…and our relationship is rock solid.
At least, I’m pretty sure it is.
As long as we can take our foursome to four plus a bundle of joy without any of my guys deciding that our unconventional approach to family is just a little more than he bargained for.
Dani, Nathan, Michael, and Crew are back for the fourth and final installment of their romance! These books should be read in order so definitely start with Puck One Night Stands to enjoy their full sexy, fun story and their happily ever after!

End of an era
I absolutely fell in love with this crew in the first book, and then the second. But the 3rd book felt like a whole different author wrote it and the vibes definitely changed and that was super disappointing. I was hopping the final book would be back to the original vibes but it still felt off. This is the final book and it felt rushed, and seemed to focus on repetitive conversations and skimmed over what we all really wanted to read. I hate the way the conflict felt just made up to toss in just to have it in the 3rd book and into the last. It really was just throwing the vibe off and went against everything built in the two previous books. Then here we get to this one and it was so rushed and it makes me sad.

🎧🎧AUDIOBOOK REVIEW🎧🎧
What a delightful way to flesh out what would normally be an epilogue to an already established HEA!
I love how each of them “handle” the future … plus one. Each one of them is distinct in their personalities and together that distinction doesn’t really exist. There was a mold made when Dani, Nathan, Michael, and Crew were born, and that mold was made to fit all four … plus one LOL (and hopefully more 😉 )
This last stretch of their story was a perfect roundup to their why-choose romance journey! Full of the usual laughter and lightness that Crew brings to the relationship, the nurture and caring that Michael exudes and the bossy protectiveness that Nathan cloaks them all with and of course, the beautiful and joyous Dani with the glue that holds them all to each other.
GAH, I really love these guys; more than I thought I would if I’m being honest. I thought maybe I’d get tired of listening to their story after a while, but the opposite happened! I looked forward to each one of these audiobooks with a smile on my face and I felt so happy while listening!
I don’t think I mentioned this in my previous reviews, but I felt a lot of joy through every hour of my listening experience, and I have to give Emma Foxx mad props for maintain that level for me thru the entirety of 4 audiobooks. That’s a lot of hours people. And not once did I think to myself that we could have done without this, that or the other. I’m really impressed. *shrug*
If you’re looking for a fun and flirty why-choose romance, Dani, Nathan, Michael, and Crew are here for you! But don’t forget to start at the beginning with Puck One Night Stands!
What about narration you ask? Well, I’ve said it once, okay three times, but four seems to be the charm lol … Spectacular performances from all four, Sebastian York, Winston James & Zachary Johnson, aaaaaaaaaaand of course Penelope Rose still gets 10 stars!
Sidebar: I’m embarrassed to say that I did not give proper props to the entire cast which included A.M. Elizabeth Kay, Victor Quixabas & Aryann Michele in my reviews of previous books, so here are your MAD PROPS 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I can't believe Dani, Crew, Michael and Nathan's story is complete 😭
This was such a good ending to their journey. I loved the way Dani's relationship developed with her men as a group and individually. And now add a baby into their dynamic and it's bound to mix things up.
This book did a good job once again navigating the complexities of a poly relationship but also what happens if one person is not quite on the same page yet.
What I enjoyed most about this story was the development of Crew and Nathan's relationship. The fact that Nathan went from treating Crew like a kid and constantly being annoyed with him, to seeing him as an equal/partner and treating him with respect was so wonderful to see. And Crew also proved himself time and time again that he is an equal and knows what he's doing. For me, their relationship had the most growth and it was amazing to see it change over the course of 4 books.
And Michael. Sweet, amazing cinnamon roll Michael. He will always be my favourite ❤️
And finally, the spice was spicing hard in this book. Honestly, some of the best poly scenes I've ever read have come from this series 🥵
Looking forward to what happens next in the Rackateers world.

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC for Permanently Pucked.
It is the 4th installment in the Chicago Racketeers story. It’s a continuation of the story between Dani, Nathan, Michael and Crew.
I love that it started right where the last book ended. We have Cookie and & Co waiting to find out if baby makes 5.
Titillating, spicy and baby proofing are all on deck.
I have to say I was most invested in Nathan this time around. He was not afraid to show his feelings and anxiety with what was happening to the family. He dealt with it all as best as Nathan can. If he wasn’t tearing up about his family. He was his notorious grumpy self making sure everyone was taken care of. His scenes during the 4th of July BBQ had me outright laughing.
This time around I did get a little tired of Crew’s behavior. There were times he felt like a whiny child, but he redeemed himself in the end. Even grew up a little without losing his charm.
Spicy level was good. That did not fail to disappoint.
The pacing was a bit off. We got to experience much of their day to day lives when not much was happening, but when it came to important topics like legal marriages and DNA testing- it was all wrapped up in a throw away line.
I also wish we could have seen more bonding with the guys. From the first book they pretty much seemed so comfortable with each other and their situation. I would have liked more “guy time”.
In the end it was a sweet story. A little mundane with the whole cookie cutter family. Even if it is a poly one.
I certainly can’t wait for the next Racketeers book. I need to know more about that hunky goalie. I’m sure he can show Elsie a hella good time. 😉

Thank you for the ARC! I have been waiting for the final instalment of this series. I enjoyed the storyline and the characters navigating a poly relationship when they feel they are at different stages in their life.
I did find that some parts of the story were rushed. I would have liked to have read more about them dealing with parenthood. I feel like the ending was quite rushed. But with that being said I enjoyed the rest of the book. The character development was good, I felt like we got to know and understand Crew even better. Especially with how he was feeling after the game and not feeling like he fit.
The spice was written well. Most of the scenes were all of them. I would have liked to read more one on one as well but I did enjoy the spice!
I’m hoping Elise’s story will be written soon, I’m looking forward to reading her story!

Permanently Pucked is a great wrap-up of Cookie & Co.‘s story. Book four takes us through Dani’s pregnancy, the progression of each of their relationships and of course the baby! I feel that some of the things I wanted to read were skimmed over. I would have liked a much smaller time jump after the “carnival” and to have read the conversation they had after the DNA results. I completely enjoyed the book and I love the characters which is why I wanted more of everything. If you liked the first three books you will enjoy this wrap-up of their story.
June 3, 2024
Let me preface this review with the fact that I loved the first 3 books. However, in this book the writing and the timing is all off. It feels like a completely different author. One that doesn’t understand how time works. Without getting into all the nitty gritty details the time line for her pregnancy is way off. First she’s 8 weeks along and then months go by and she’s just now 12 weeks. Not to mention it doesn’t line up with when she got pregnant in the previous book. Timeline issues like that, ones can be easily looked up and fixed bug me so much. It ruined the whole book for me. Plus this one just felt unnecessary, like it was just written to have a fourth book. The conflict felt forced and unneeded. Something better and more relevant could have definitely been thought up. I was so looking forward to the wrap up of their story but it just fell so flat.

All the Feels
The entire Chicago Racketeers series has had me all up in my feels from book one. I’ve become so invested I’m going to need a moment now that it’s over. Permanently Pucked is the fourth and final book in this series that follows the relationship of Dani, Nathan, Michael and Crew. If you’ve read any of the previous books then this is a great conclusion to their journey. All the books can be read as a stand alone so if you aren’t caught up, no worries you can still dive in.
This book answered a lot of questions as to how their relationship was going to work together moving forward now that there was a baby on the way. How do they all approach marriage and kids? Most importantly what happens when everyone isn’t on the same page at the same time? There is a lot to unpack and what I appreciated seeing was how they worked things out and the choices they all made to ensure one another’s happiness.
Watching these characters really come into their own had my heartstrings being pulled in all directions. Crew grew so much in this book and his relationship with Nathan especially matured which was so beautiful to see. I liked how each guy figured out how very much they wanted this family as an entire unit together. Michael gave and compromised in ways that worked for him and in doing so learned that everyone also truly had his back. Although there already was mutual respect amongst the guys, it was the growth of their friendships and trust that really solidified Cookie and Co.
There is so much love and affection with this group and the steamy scenes were very spicy, so expect top steam. Everything you’ve come to expect from this series is here and more. This was all one hell of a ride and each character stole a piece of my heart. As Dani often surmised she was one lucky girl.

4.5 Stars! Sad the series is ending, but I loved the entire journey! 💕🥹
I just loved being back in this world and seeing all 4 of our MCs finally getting their HEA. In Permanently Pucked, book 4 of the Chicago Racketeers series, we get a nice roundup of Dani, Nathan, Michael, and Crew’s love story. They prepare for their new pregnancy, as everyone has some adjustments to make. They also continue to grow and learn how to continue to navigate their poly relationship and fit it into different aspects of their lives. We also have a wedding and all of the fun moments we have come to expect from this series. Finally, we also get some more personal development in each of the characters, including Dani finally standing up to her family and choosing herself and her men above all else.
This finale was truly the perfect end to the perfect series! As with the previous books, it was full of great fun times, humour and laughter, as well as, great storytelling. As always, Crew brings the light-hearted fun and banter. Michael brings the caring and nurturing vibes. The bossy and protective Nathan makes sure that everyone is taken care of. And, we cannot forget how confident Dani has grown within herself and how she is the glue that holds them all together.
If you’re looking to get into a new why-choose romance, look no further. This series brings the fun, flirty, steamy vibes. Highly recommend!
Again, the narration featured a full-cast narration. Performed by Penelope Rose, Sebastian York, Royce St. Cloud, Zachary Johnson, A.M. Elizabeth Kay, Victor Quixabas, Aryann Michele, and Robert Hatchet, all the narrators were excellent as always. Throughout this entire series, they have been nothing but amazing! Just pure perfection! 🙌 💕

The last of Cookie & Co. I am very sad to say goodbye to these four. I have really very much enjoyed getting to know them and their journey of a poly relationship.
I loved they had perfect "weddings" for them. They matched their relationships and personalities perfectly.
It was also great to see how Nathan and Crew's relationship changed in this one and how Nathan grew to respect Crew more and see he was truly a great partner and equal in the relationship. Crew really did do some growing up in this one.
The pregnancy journey was very fun to read. I really enjoyed that with the four of them. It ending with the baby arriving was a perfect ending.
Of course the spice level and care for each other was high as usual with them. Definitely did not disappoint there.
I look forward to seeing more of the Racketeers and I truly hope we will still see glimpses of these four in the future books. I feel like they are old friends and I will miss them for sure.

A wonderful conclusion
This was an excellent conclusion to the love story that is Cookie & Co. I am so happy for Nathan and truly wanted to shed tears for him. I loved watching Crew mature and all the love and happiness that was given to Dani. But man do I hope for a book for Elise, I would sooo love that. I can already tell she a spitfire and she curvy too, yes please!

Cookie & Company are back for the final installment of this series. And what a great conclusion it was! This book was everything I hoped it would be when I found out it was the final installment. All 4 of these bring so much to the table and life wouldn't be complete with out each one of them. Seeing each of there growth over the 4 book series has been amazing. I loved each of the guys at different times but think Nathan is probably my favorite because of his growth of where he started and we he is now.
If you like hockey romances this series is for you! Permanently Pucked out May 3rd.
Thank you Emma Foxx for sharing such an incredible story of Cookie & Co and letting me be an ARC reader!

glad it’s over but pass
I thought the 3rd book was bad, this one was worse. It’s annoying when the author keeps having repeats of the same stuff over and over and over. We get it, Dani’s men make her feel great but we don’t need to keep reading about it. Literally 80% of the book was all that. I skimmed though the book 10% in since that’s when it started. Wish I never started on this series or just end it at book 1

This was such a sweet ending to an adorable series! Each one of these characters stood out! In their own loveable way! Emma Foxx did such a great job with this series. This was the first series that I've ever read that just kept the HEA throughout all the books. Giving us a great example of everyday life for these characters and some huge growth and character development.

Crew really stood out in the best way in this book! Book 3 had me second-guessing if he the right fit for this foursome. But this book proved me wrong. He really redeemed himself! His playful side came out again. And he was back to being my favorite. Although Nathan and Michael both came VERY close to being my favorite as well. But there is just something about a playful tender man who loves with his whole heart.
I was so happy to see them build such a beautiful life together! Each of them seeing each other's strengths in the relationship!

I can't wait for Emma Foxx's next book!
Audiobook Review:
Every book I feel more and more in love with the voices of their narrators. Two of the narrators were new narrators for me and I have to say they have now become one of my favorites. Zachary Johnson's voice for Crew and a few side characters couldn't have been better! He brought Crew's playful side out! And him bantering back and forth with Sebastian York who narrated Nathan's voice was hilarious! Sebastian did an incredible job with Nathan's character. I always love his voice for age-gap romances! He's got the perfect voice to play the older guy! 😉 Royce Cloud was PERFECT as Michael. Allowing Michael's character to shine. Bring out his sweet and protective side. Penelope Rose was the other new narrator for me and this woman's voice was perfect. Sweet. Sexy. Exactly how I would have pictured Dani's voice. I was just perfect. Together these four brought to life a beautiful book series!
I also can't forget to mention A.M. Elizabeth Kay, Victor Quixabas, Robert Hatchet, and Aryann Michele who all did an incredible job voicing all the side characters!

Crew really stood out in the best way in this book! Book 3 had me second-guessing if he the right fit for this foursome. But this book proved me wrong. He really redeemed himself! His playful side came out again. And he was back to being my favorite. Although Nathan and Michael both came VERY close to being my favorite as well. But there is just something about a playful tender man who loves with his whole heart.
I was so happy to see them build such a beautiful life together! Each of them seeing each other's strengths in the relationship!

What a cute ending to Nathan, Dani, Michael, and Crew's story! I've really enjoyed reading about this polycule from it's origins to them now starting their own little family. And the spice in these books never misses. Emma Foxx knows her way around a spicy scene, and Dani is one of the horniest women, despite getting on the regular from three different men. And in this book, pregnancy does not slow her down in the slightest, only seems to ramp that up. It makes me tired just reading about it.
I think that in the real world, there's no way that a polycule relationship would be this drama free and understanding/supportive of one another. But in this book, it's an awesome relationship and I love reading about their love for each other. I would take one of any of the guys Dani has landed herself on their own.
The only down side that I saw to this entire book was how little time Crew was given to "get on board" with being married. Nathan and Michael have both proposed and their commitment ceremony is around the corner. Then they all get the news that Dani is pregnant. Crew is the youngest of all of them and likely needs more time to wrap his head around "forever." Even though that's what he wants in his heart of hearts. But .... they give the dude like 4 months before Nathan and Michael are having a talk with him about proposing, and Dani even acts sad when she mentions her husband and wistfully stares at Crew. He has already proven that he's 100% in and has verbalized it multiple times. Marrying someone doesn't even guarantee that they'll stick around long term. So it's not fair that his intentions are the only ones in question and I think it's shitty of all of them to continue to pressure him. And he got there all on his own pretty fucking quickly if you ask me.
I would highly recommend this entire series - it's funny, heartwarming, and full of quality smut!

A Pucking and Seriously Amazing Story, Series & Narration🎧
Seriously Pucked
Chicago Racketeers, Book 3
By: Emma Foxx
Narration by: Penelope Rose. Sebastian York, Royce St. Cloud, Zachary Johnson, A.M. Elizabeth Kay, Victor Quixabas, Robert Hatchet, Aryann Michele
This series is absolutely amazing, and as much as I would like to say it keeps getting better and better, I can not because it would not be fair to the first two books which were just as fabulous as this one, but it would be fair to say I can not get enough of these characters, Dani, Nathan, Michael and Drew. This book picks up soon after the second book, “Four Pucking Christmases” ended and now that the holidays are over, the four are finding and settling into their new normal. Their relationship continues to grow and they take the leap and move in together. They face new challenges as their love deepens for Dani and are working out the kinks in their relationship. I loved how each guy is so different with each being as lovable as the other, with Nathan the most serious of the three, Michael who loves with his whole heart and wears it on his sleeve, and Crew, a goofball and a kid in a man’s body. There is never a dull moment in this book and the story captivates your attention the entire time. It is a wonderfully plotted story with a perfect balance of drama, charming humor, heartfelt emotions, and steamy romance. Emma Foxx, thank you for another fantastic story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 The fabulous line-up of talent in this duet style multi-cast production is a joy to listen to. Penelope Rose continues to kill in her role as Dani and the same goes for Sebastian York as Nathan, the bossy and broody billionaire, Zachary Johnson as the youthful and playful Drew and newcomer Royce St. Cloud joins the cast taking over as Michael and he was just as fabulous in the role. A.M. Elizabeth Kay, Victor Quixabas, Robert Hatchet, and Aryann Michele round up the cast, covering the roles of the secondary characters and ace their roles perfectly. They continue to set the perfect tone for the story, capture all the characters’ emotions and have you feeling them all. These entertaining storytellers deliver an outstanding performance, one that elevates this already amazing story to another level. Thank you for another fantastic listen.

Book 53 of 2024
This series! Ah! I can't believe it's over because it has brought me oh so much joy. I was giddy the whole time, and when it ended, did I have a tear in my eye? Possibly. Let me say this -- there is a lot of hockey happening right now in the romance world. There is also a lot of polyamorous books happening right now, both topics which I love to read. But I would say that @EmmaFoxx has found a way to make this the best combination of both -- MFMM (no sword crossing) with the backdrop of hockey. This series does it the BEST.
I love that we don't just get easy fluff and a lot of spice. Yes, the first book needed that to lay the foundation. But these last two books have easily been the best in the series. That's because they go beyond the initial love story and give you a glimpse into the real world. We got to see how Dani, Nathan, Michael and Crew managed the emotions and expectations of each other and their relationships. We have been able to see the three men grow into their own relationships with each other, especially as one of them is the biological father to the Cookie & Co baby. Ah! I loved seeing how all of them changed and grew around the knowledge that they were adding a little one to the mix, and I loved seeing how each of them brought something unique and wonderful to their found family they've created.
@EmmaFoxx, I absolutely refuse to be done with our sweet Cookie & Co. I know you said you need to let them go off and live their own happily ever after, but I don't know if I can do that. I am not ready to say goodbye to the Chicago Racketeers, and I know that there is more fun, more tension, more spice, more conflict, more LIFE to be lived within this dynamic and I want to see it all. I am here to petition to read more because I absolutely love it all. But, if this truly is it, then it was worth the ride.
But, until next time.....
Rating -- four and a half stars
Format -- e/book
NOTE: Thank you to @EmmaFoxx for this ARC Copy of Permanently Pucked. I loved the first three books and it was a joy to get this early copy of the book so I can continue to rave about this series, and of course, request more from the world of the Racketeers! Where can I sign the petition for more Cookie & Co, because I'm all in!

This is the fourth and final installment in the Chicago Racketeers Hockey polyamorous romance series and it’s the steamiest and most dramatic. Cookie & Co gets committed… uh, ok, has a commitment ceremony between Dani, and her guys! It’s an exciting time in our favorite little hockey family, as they pledge their commitment and dedication while Dani continues to grow their little cookie.
This series is just brilliant and perfectly steamy and I love how the authors have split it up into four books instead of trying to reduce it into one shorter story. We needed all of this time and these pages to get to know the characters and this full story arc, and I really appreciated all of it. I also loved meeting Luna and I’m so excited to get into her own why choose immediately after, next!
I completely and totally recommend this book, this series (they have to be read together, in order - absolutely not standalones), especially if you’re into steamy romance, but most especially if you’re interested in or want to try out why choose. It’s a subgenre that is one that I recently found interesting but this series is certainly the best written. Bravo, Emma Foxx, you ladies have done it so well! Two enthusiastic thumbs up!
The audiobook is a full production cast, and it’s absolutely not to be missed - same cast throughout all books (for the most part), and they’ve all done a brilliant job. I look forward to hearing more from them all - Penelope Rose, Sebastian York (the unicorn), Royce St Cloud (only in 3&4), Zachary Johnson, A.M. Elizabeth Kay, Victor Quixabas, Aryann Michele, Robert Hatchet (only in 3&4). The only one I was familiar with coming into the series was SebYo (one of my absolute top faves), but they’re all amazing.
I received an early audio listen copy from Home Cooked Books PR and this is my honest feedback.

This was a fantastic experience! The full-cast narration made it super easy to get lost in the story without ever getting confused about who was speaking. For a "why choose" hockey romance, having different voices for each character was perfect. It added so much depth and made the whole experience more immersive. Every cast member nailed their roles, bringing the characters to life in such a fun way. I absolutely loved it and would definitely recommend it to anyone who’s into this genre. They really did an amazing job!

This is book four in the Chicago Racketeers series and each book in this series has only gotten better and better.
Permanently Pucked is filled with laughter, emotions, and lots of steamy why-choose romance ❤️😍 It was the perfect story to round out this amazing cast of characters that I've come to care about sooooo much. Dani, Nathan, Michael and Crew have made a permanent place in my heart and I had to slow down my reading at times because I just didn't want this book to end.
From the very beginning Dani, Nathan, Michael, and Crew have just gelled together flawlessly. Never once was there a question of someone not fitting with Dani, although there may have been times where they needed to figure out how to work together as a team, but when it came to their center, their glue, Dani held these three guys in the palm of her hand and just when things got settled a little one popped into the equation. A baby to love, to share, to raise between three dads and one mom. This special moment couldn't have been better.
There would more to figure out than just living arrangements this time around and a baby was definitely going to change their lives. But before the little one comes along...there is a little thing called marriage. And speaking of marriage...🥵the dirty talk and role play is hotter than ever. This may be book four but Cookie and Co. is naughtier and spicier than ever!!
While I'm really going to miss these four I get the feeling this might not be the last we'll see from the Racketeers. 😉 At least I can hope. 🙏😂

✨️eARC Review✨️
5/5 ⭐️
3/5 🌶
*Permanently Pucked is book 4 in the Chicago Racketeers series and should be read in order to get the full story of Dani and her guys*
In book 1 (Puck One Night Stands), Dani is an aspiring romance author running a book shop connected to her best friend's bakery, where they live ae the business together. While on a bad first date at the Chicago Racketeers game where Dani's best friend's brother Crew plays, Crew sweeps in save her. Dani not only gains the attention of Crew, but also the team doctor Michael and team owner Nathan, who decide rather than fight over her, they'll share her. Book 4, just like 1-3, comes with life circumstances that require them to work together as well as individually to make their dynamic work.
I felt like this was the perfect ending to Dani's story! When I first read Puck One Stands a few months ago, I couldn't wait for the rest of the series! I knew I wanted to try for an ARC for this last book of Dani's story plus Luna's story. The characters really developed through the 4 books both individually and together. They've all dealt with situations and feelings that are real-life situations, whether you're in a poly relationship or 1 on 1 relationship, and they've figured out things for themselves and also together. I hope Emma has some more stories up her sleeve for some side characters mentioned in this book!
Tropes:
✔️ Hockey Romance
✔️ Why Choose/RH
✔️ Surprise Pregnancy
✔️ Multi POV
✔️ They Fall Hard
✔️ Final Book (book 4)

Permanently Pucked -Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) REVIEW
I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of this book, this is my personal and truthful review.
This book continues exactly where the last book ended, which I love, since the previous book ended abruptly (like the previous books), like a cliffhanger, it is perfect that it continues from the last thought/scene from the previous book. It flows seemingly from the previous to this book.
The connection between the characters is on point and they have a deep understanding of each other.
I am so happy that Emma Foxx included Sammy the Malamute (Wade) the ‘skeezy’, rambling, pothead mascot in this story especially since he was such a big part of book one.
It was a good conclusion to the four book series, Emma Foxx tied up these characters story perfectly. The book went through the pregnancy and birth with other events happening along the way, also included with a six month conclusion to help tie everything up.
Tropes:
•hockey romance
•why choose
•billionaire
•best friends brother
•age gap
•pregnancy
Quick Review:
Four plus one equals five! At the beginning of the book we find out if the pregnancy tests were positive or negative. Also wedding bells!!! In the previous book two out of three had proposed…what will happen with number three?
*Must read the previous books before reading this book.

It was a good conclusion to the four book series, Emma Foxx tied up these characters story perfectly. The book went through the pregnancy and birth with other events happening along the way, also included with a six month conclusion to help tie everything up.
Tropes:
•hockey romance
•why choose
•billionaire
•best friends brother
•age gap
•pregnancy
Quick Review:
Four plus one equals five! At the beginning of the book we find out if the pregnancy tests were positive or negative. Also wedding bells!!! In the previous book two out of three had proposed…what will happen with number three?
*Must read the previous books before reading this book.
