I’m SO sad the Hayes brothers series is finally at an end! Thank you for allowing me to be an ARC reader for this series!
I absolutely loved this book! I was really feeling bad for Colt there for a while. I loved the chemistry between him and Audrey. While Nico is STILL my favorite, Colt is DEFINITELY a close second!!

Can’t believe this series has come to an end! It’s been amazing reading them from the start and having the opportunity to ARC for all of these books. With every book I think I have found a new favourite but really they are all my favourites!! Well done on another great book to end the Hayes brothers books. Colt and Addie are so cute and I love a fake relationship story! Love the giggles and the games they have to participate in.
“No.” I firmly shake my head. “I have pet names for you, but that’s the extent of it. You won’t like what follows if you try a pet name on me.”
“And what is it that you do?” “Right now, he should be doing me, so if you’ll excuse us...” The words tumble out before I can stop them.

November 11, 2023There’s no way a man who’s never been in love and a woman who refuses to get married actually get engaged after 2 weeks because they’re in love. Colt deserved better than a 2 week love story and I’ll die on that hill 😠

Le fake dating va trop vite, ils tombent amoureux en cinq secondes (faut se calmer un peu). La mère de famille reste un mystère mal exploité, et l’intrigue manque de relief. Les protagonistes manquent de profondeur… 2/5.

Yay, Colt finally fell in love! But Addie doesn't want love, marriage or kids, all she wants is a fake fiance to get her ex and her mum off her back. Maybe the cruise will give them time to get to know each other enough to make Addie think more about what she wants, but with the tension building between them is it just going to be a holiday fling?

The only thing I didn’t like about the book is its cover.

This was my favourite couple of the series. Audrey was just so fun to get to know and love and Colt is just a big idiot who wants to protect those around him. Colt’s love story was different than the rest of the brothers and although everything happened too fast like the rest, I did enjoy how these two fell in love.

Well, this is the end and I have to say goodbye to the Hayes brothers. Honestly, this whole series is beautiful. Each brother is different but they resemble each other. Colt is now one of my favorite books, and I was really happy with this final one.
The fake dating trope is one of my favorites, so it's no surprise that this book charmed me. Colt is very respectful of Addie's requests and is determined to honor them, until Addie confronts him. Then comes the loss of control and they melt for each other. Unsurprisingly, Colt is just as protective and domineering as his brothers.
Everything flows well, no major twists but still very amusing. Especially when Colt shows his dominant side in front of everyone. Addie's family is a bit too much sometimes and her mother is a viper, but it adds some spice. Her father almost fell under Colt's spell faster than Addie lol.
Flawless ending for a series I highly recommend.
———-
Voilà, c'est la fin et je dois dire au revoir aux frères Hayes. Honnêtement, toute cette série est belle. Chaque frère est différent mais se ressemble. Ce dernier livre m'a vraiment plu et Colt est devenu l’un de mes préférés.
Le trope Fake dating est dans mes tops, alors il n'est pas surprenant que ce livre m'ait charmé. Colt est très respectueux des demandes d'Addie et tient à les respecter, jusqu'à ce que Addie le confronte. Puis c'est la perte de contrôle et ils fondent l'un pour l'autre. Sans surprise, Colt est tout aussi protecteur et dominateur que ses frères.
Tout s'enchaîne bien, aucune grosse péripétie mais tout de même très amusant. Surtout quand Colt démontre son côté dominant devant tout le monde. La famille d'Addie est un peu too much parfois et sa mère une vipère, mais ça amène du piquant. Son père est presque tomber sous le charme de Colt plus vite qu’Addie lol.
En bref, une conclusion parfaite pour une série que je vous recommande.

A finale of multiple finales ;)
Previously on the Hayes Brothers… all of his brothers are married & expecting kids and Colt feels... left behind.
Too Long starts three years after #5. But for Colt, nothing has changed. He drowns himself in work or risks his life in underground races just to keep going. He wants to be settled, to build a family. But he just can't find someone who wants the same thing.
Audrey does not want the same thing. In fact, she's looking for a fake boyfriend to escape her parent's pressuring her to get married. But she's so rich that she has no idea who Colt or his family are. So in his eyes, that's one point in her favor. And she's insanely gorgeous, point two. And she fights his advances from their first introduction, point three.
This is an arrangement you don't want to miss. Colt is the perfect fake boyfriend except that he is falling FAST. Audrey's unique family get them both into the oddest situations while attending her brother's week-long engagement party on her daddy's yacht.
My favorite aspect is that Audrey has a lot of anxieties and is constantly written off by the people who have known her the longest. But Colt sees her, her fears and gives her grace for the first time in her life. When she falls into danger, he gives her the push she needs to save herself. When they finally give into their attraction, he DELIVERS - again and again and (despite her protests) again and again hahaha. Being a certified hothead has translated into STAMINA. It also means that he endures every test that her family throws at him and that perseverance stole my heart.

ARC REVIEW
♾️/5 ⭐️
First off a big thank you to the author and her team for giving me the opportunity to read the book before it’s release (which is Nov 7th, btw)
Too long is the last book in the Hayes brothers series. It’s a series of interconnected standalones but I do recommend reading all of them and in order because that makes this so much more special!
✓ Fake dating
✓ He falls first
✓ Family-orientated MMC
✓ Free-spirit, career-driven FMC
✓ Small town
✓ Standalone in a series - no cliffhanger!
The book follows Colt and Aubrey, Aubrey needs a fake boyfriend for her brothers engagement cruise and Colt is willing to play the part but the lines between fake and real stray to blur, so what happens when they find out they want completely different things?
This book was EVERYTHING to me!! I love every book in this series and the MMC just keep getting better with each book (I really don’t know how the author does it) and Colt was no different. He was perfect. Truly.
This book was the perfect ending to this series (doesn’t mean I’m not heartbroken that’s it’s over 😭) but this was amazing. I will never get over this series. Ever.
I also can’t wait until I get my hands on the paperback copy because it would look so gorgeous on my bookshelf and then I’m also going to buy the new covers (which drop on Nov 24th)

As the last book in the series, Too Long just didn’t work for me. The story had moments that could’ve landed, but overall… I didn’t like it. The pacing felt off, the characters didn’t grab me the way the others did, and some things were just too much or didn’t make sense.
I kept waiting for it to click, but it never really did. Compared to the earlier books, this one felt weaker and didn’t deliver the emotional impact or tension I was hoping for.
Not a favorite — disappointing ending to the series for me. 📚💔

La fin des frères Hayes.......
Petit pincement au cœur malgré le fait que la serie soit très mid (je savais dans quoi je m'embarquai)
Très contente de finir avec Colt et Addie même si 2 semaines c'est très très court (et slow burn mon cul oui).
Je suis passée par pleins d'émotions durant la lecture de cette serie (mais j'ai pas pleuré🙂↕️, j'ai failli sur celui de Cody et Blair mais rien à voir avec le livre juste la musique qui passait au même moment)
Bref même s'ils sont tous complètement jeter par les murs, ils sont quand même attachants.......
On se retrouve l'année prochaine pour le prochain binge reading d'une serie mid👋🏻

Incredible! What an amazing way to end the Hayes Brothers series! Holt and Addie are a gorgeous couple - I love the fake dating trope and this did not disappoint. The build up and tension was so good - you were definitely rewarded in the spicy scenes (hot hot hot!) Anytime Grant appeared wanted to throw him off the boat but I loved how Addie stood up to him. Loved all the family interactions and hints back to previous books (Nico will always be my favourite 😂) I will always recommend IA Dice’s books as I have never not had a five star read - would highly recommend this whole series and am looking forward to future books!

I’m so freaking sad this whole series is over! 😭 I’ve been here from the start and it feels bittersweet to witness all the Hayes brothers get their HEAs 🥺 The Hayes are just chefs kiss 🤌🏼 So excited to get my hands on the new covers of these books!

Ich liebe alles an diesem Buch, den Schreibstil, die Story, Colt!!
Colt ist eine wandelnde greenflag, bei der man selbst schmetterlinge im Bauch hat. Ich habe richtig mitgefiebert und mitgelitten und zwischendurch oft schmunzeln müssen!
Absolute Empfehlung für ein Buch zwischendurch. Die ganze Reihe ist der Hammer.

TOO LONG - I.A. Dice
✨ARC REVIEW✨
“I’d rather moan than speak” - me too Addie, me too!
I can’t not even put into words how I devoured this book! I feel so lucky I was able to receive an ARC copy.
Colt was everything and more. I could tell now why he is the most like Nico as mentioned in ‘Too Sweet’. Let just put it this way, if Colt wanted six orgasms out of me I wouldn’t be complaining. Addie is a fire cracker and I LOVED that she was English. Reading some on the British insults in these books made me so happy and that might sound silly but it made me love them even more🫶🏼
I love the fake dating trope and this one did not disappoint. I love that all the Hayes were apart of it especially my book husband Nico🥵
I’m so sad that this series has finished and will probably be in mourning for a short while but so excited to see what I.A. Dice releases next.

Intriguing storyline. Characters were interesting. Good series.
June 25, 2024
I love this book so much more than the last two. Seeing Nico near the end and how we acted with his daughter made me cry. I love Colt and Addie so much. Again I had one of my favourite tropes which was fake dating and one bed.
I was so excited reading this, but I was also so sad because the series came to an end.
I really don’t understand why in Connor’s book Rose appeared because she didn’t even change anything to the course of the books following after his book.

I was lucky enough to receive the ARC for this and I could not wait! I adore Colt and Addie and the connection they had been waiting so long for! My fave book of the series, it was definitely worth the wait! Thank you so much I.A.Dice, the series was epic, I can't wait to see what yo come up with next!

Another great love story! These brothers are just so great. I'm sad that it's the end of the Hayes Brothers Series but they all got their HEA's and that's what matters.
Each book made me like that brother even more than the previous brother but honestly I enjoyed them all equally, they were all so good in their own way. Each girl was perfect for them and they were all so happy and started families and I'm so happy that Colt got exactly what he wanted, what he waited for, he definitely deserved it!
There was plenty of spice that was just 🔥 and made you want to be the girl in the book. 😂 I loved how the whole family was mentioned throughout the book so we know how things went for them along with Colt.
It couldn't have ended better!
I'm excited for what the author has next!

All spoilers
Colt is a mysoginist and Audrey is Colt-centered.
They have no hobbies, interest aside each other.
Okay. Colt kinda has one. But it is not talked a lot.
Almost everything is written how it happens it the book
Chapter one Colt calls his sisters in law baby making factories or closed baby making factories.
Audrey's brother about his fiance
"That's different. Amara's only job is looking pretty, acting classy, and cooking my babies in her oven."
Audrey's brother says that their mother has her best interest in mind. What is the best interest?
She wanted her daughter to marry Grant.
Audrey (15, 3 months to 16) was dating Grant(21). Grant slept with someone because she was not ready for that. Her mother is saying that he was a child then and he is a man now 🙃 He said that he will stop cheating when she will be ready. He proposed to her on her 18th birthday party in front of 200 people - she said no. He proposed a few times after that. During the cruise he told her that she gives him a lesson with dating Cole.
Also her mother wants to her marry someone with 10 digits on their bank account. Grant has 3 billion. But he is getting there so Victoria is happy.
I think Amara (Audrey's brother fiancee) has a thing with Grant. She throws herself at him all the time and he calls Audrey and Amara pumpkin.
When Grant flew on his helicopter he gave Ben (Audrey's brother) a gift for Amara and Ben said that it will occupy her for hours.
Before Audrey's and Colt's first time 🙃
"You have no idea what you're asking, Addie." I squeeze her neck tighter. My mind's made. The ball's in her court and I'm about to find out how brave she really is. “Let me explain before we add benefits into the mix. You can have the worst attitude all day long but..." I dip my head, dragging my nose from her jaw to her ear, “...in bed, I don't take that kind of behavior lightly. In bed, you're my good girl. Submissive. You do as you're told."
I losing my braincells everytime I read things like that
"Red is your safe word," I say, watching her squirm as she eyes the bulge in my pants. I grip her chin between my thumb and forefinger, forcing her to look at me. "Focus for one more minute, pretty girl. It's important. I won't stop unless you use the safe word. You can scream stop until you're blue, but I won't listen unless you say red. Say it, and I stop immediately, understood?"
911 I want to report a crime
Obviously every partner she was with was unskilled and only Colt can make her see stars
”With every org..m I was falling faster, caring more than I should. This isn't how s-x goes for me. I'm not usually as keen to please women. Sure, I'll get them off once or twice, rarely more, unless I'm in an exceptionally good mood and she's been particularly well behaved, but things were different with Addie.”
Great Cole. Every woman wants for You to stay away from her. Except Audrey but she is dumb.
"A sick thought seized my mind when she mentioned birth control. I imagined flushing her pills down the toilet, replacing them with a placebo and knocking her up so she'd stay with me."
911. Heloł. Help.
Monaco Grand Prix outfit was mentioned three times I believe in this book.
During the cruise Amara (bride) decided that there will be some challenges to make in groups and one of them was to walk on a diving board suspended over the ocean with a spoon in mouth on which was an egg and blindfolded. And spoon was not replaceable. Disgusting. Dangerous. Amara did not participate.
There was a bonfire and Colt was thinking about taking the stick from Audrey because she is so delicate that she would hurt herself 😐
Colt said that the brothers got into a fight because one of them did not let someone else except the mother hold their child🙃
There is a moment when Audrey wants to leave the ship because she had an argument with Grant and Colt hit him and the answer that Colt has is obviously 18+.
Girlies. Do Yourself a favour and leave. Ship. And the idiot.
"And I only know one way to clear her mind. "You trust me?" I ask, rising from the bed.
"Do I trust you?" She spits out the words like they're something bitter stuck to her tongue.
"Watch your mouth, Audrey. Answer the question."
That is a NO.
They have 18+ time in the pool area with no care in the world
And he says she cannot refuse 😭
"You're crazy. We can't. Someone could—"
"Don't say no to me,” he cuts in, gripping my neck and pulling me in for an intense, erotic kiss. He lifts his hips less than an inch, but it's enough to show how much he wants me. “In, baby." He skims his hot mouth from my collarbone up to my ear. "Reach under your dress, move your pant..s aside, pull my c..k out and put me in.”
"There are two cameras pointing right at us,” I hiss, diligently ignoring how slick I am, how f.....g needy whenever he touches me. “The bartender's somewhere around and"
Those are Audrey's thoughts
"His fiery look challenges me to do as he said, and there's no way I'll back down now. All the reasons why we shouldn't do this fall away.
Colt's a master of making me submit. A master of centering my thoughts around him and him only.
Before we met, I never would've called myself courageous. Feisty, sure, but too many fears live rent-free inside my head to ever describe me as courageous.
But with Colt, I feel like I can conquer the world.
Fear doesn't hold me back when he's around, bringing out parts of me I didn't know were there in the first place.
But with Colt, I feel like I can conquer the world. Fear doesn't hold me back when he's around, bringing out parts of me I didn't know were there in the first place."
He is no master, you are dumb. You want conquer the world while his inside You? Because You have no other interests. Girl is a veterinarian and we have no thoughs of her about it. How it makes her feel or how she decided to be one.
Another task in that stupid game
They play catch the flag or whatever and obviously that dumb b1tch to avoid being tagged obviously goes on some obviously old bridge with and she is obviously scared and obviously Colt has to rescue her and obviously he thinks that he will jump if she falls.
But also she is not distracted enough to scream at Grant "Get the helicopter, you knobhead!" And "It's your fault I'm here!"
Yeah. He made go on that bridge. Everyone at fault just not miss perfect.
"What are you waiting for?!" Addie yells at Grant again. “Get the helicopter, you daft git! Lift me out of here!" Then she turns to me, too abruptly, making the bridge lurch violently. "Where the hell have you been?! Don't just stand there like an idiot! Do something!"
There are people who do need that helicopter and that resource should not be wasted on idiots like her.
And when he tries to be collected and forces her to tell him if she is hurt he is using Good Girl😭😭😭😭
And obviously they go on themselves when they are back in their room because it is the answer for everything 🤦🤦🤦🤦
And this is the moment when he realizes he loves her. After 5 days😭
"This isn't about control, so when she tugs my t-shirt off, I help..."
Firstly, You need a reward for that help. Never met a man who did more.
Secondly, obviously he goes for control later.
“I need a second to catch my breath," she murmurs, skimming her lips across my jawline while I pull my fingers out. "You're too good at this."
"No breaks."
Your were saying that it is not about control?🙄
The third act break up
So Audrey told Colt she does not want marriage and children.
Colt wanted that.
They broke up.
And when Colt talks with his brothers about their breakup because they decided he needs an intervention that is what You can read
"She never wants to get married," I say, staring at the cherry of my cigarette. "Doesn't want kids."
"She's twenty-two," Shawn pipes in. "She's young. Marriage and kids aren't her priority. You don't know what'll happen a year or two down the line. You just met, Colt.”
Theo nods. "He's right. I never considered a family until after I met Thalia. Maybe Addie will change her mind down the line? Maybe she just wants to finish school first? You're making a mistake letting her go so fast.”
Yes, girlies. Your views do not matter. Not when You are 22. You are young and You will definitely change Your mind.
But Colt actually does make sense when he asks his brothers why they wanted to get married and says
"Addie doesn't need a reason not to want a family, same way none of us need a reason we do. It's a choice. It doesn't require justification.”
Not a plus because that is a normal behaviour.
And what made me laugh is that after two weeks he can smell peaches and sugar in his car😂
And then Colt is an a-hole again. He decides that he want her want to be with Audrey.
"Not every fairy tale ends with a big wedding and children's laughter. Pining after the dream, I forgot the most important thing: happiness doesn't always look like we've imagined. Sometimes, less is more."
Remember girlies that if You do not have children You are less. I always wanted to hear that. My dream man.
AND NOW
The explaination
When everything makes sense
Actually
No
It does not
If it does for You I do not want to meet You
That was one of the dumbest things in the world
So why?
They meet
Audrey is being stupid
“I was rather rude about him ditching his wife on Friday evening to bring me the pen, but then he said Blair's in Milan with Cassidy."
His brother brought sth to her and no Thank You, only You should be with Your wife. You dumb idiot. They do not have spend every waking minute together. But I am normal. You are man (actually a part of a man's body) obsessed.
"They're all living their dreams, aren't they?" she muses, taking another step closer, our breaths mingling. "Mia's writing songs, Thalia's head chef, Vivienne's climbing the career ladder..." I have no idea what she's getting at, but I nod along, confused beyond reason.
She steps even closer, so close she has to angle her head to look me in the eye. “Do you have any idea what a shock to the system it was when I realized they're not trophies?"
What.
What.
So let me be clear.
When You decided to fake date Your learned all of the names of his brothers, their wifes and their children.
And You did not ask what they are doing for living?
I wanted to throw my phone out of the window.
That was one of the dumbest thing in the world.
They get engaged after one week of knowing each other and one week of not talking
One year to the future
She obviously forgot to take pills and she is pregnant.
With two more years of school to do.
The second he finds out he takes her to the doctor because obviously queues do not exist.
And the have an argument whether she should wear seatbelts on car
Yeah
"Sometimes, I let him get it out of his system. It seems to help if I let him dote over me occasionally. Makes him less prone to going overboard. Other times, when I'm particularly annoyed, I scream that I'm not a child and can do sh1t myself... That's when I end up on my knees with his .... in my mouth."
Yeah. No.
"I'm lucky if I go an hour without checking how Addie's doing. I have no idea where she gets her patience from, but I swear she's a saint when it comes to dealing with me. She takes my overprotectiveness like the good girl she is, putting my mind at ease at least twenty times a day."
No.
And obviously she has no pregnancy symptomy except wanting 2 things all the time
- sleep,
- 18+ time.
Idiots always have it best.
And the Victoria, Audrey's mother.
"I had to abandon everything I knew when I married Addie's father. My role was always the trophy wife. No opinions, no dreams. Just pretty, polite, and helpful, but you... you love her the way she is. That's rare."
Yeah. But the thing that Henry, her husband, was cool (except when he did not put his wife in place when everytime she wanted for Audrey to marry Grant). And I doubt he would be against her doing something. Seems like after I don't know maybe about 30 years of marriage they never had a conversation.
And I forgot to mention that Ben (Audrey's brother) is 20. And he is getting married. Most probably to get 1 billion , because Henry decided that after his kids get married they will get the money.
And one thing that pissed me off was that Audrey was checking messages that Colt was reading on his phone.
Also, when Grant (21) slept with someone, Ben (15) beat him up and now Grant is his best man and tells Audrey and she is in past and everyone grew up.
It is good that they are together because idiots should be together and leave normal people alone.
Colt is a mysoginist and Audrey is Colt-centered.
They have no hobbies, interest aside each other.
Okay. Colt kinda has one. But it is not talked a lot.
Almost everything is written how it happens it the book
Chapter one Colt calls his sisters in law baby making factories or closed baby making factories.
Audrey's brother about his fiance
"That's different. Amara's only job is looking pretty, acting classy, and cooking my babies in her oven."
Audrey's brother says that their mother has her best interest in mind. What is the best interest?
She wanted her daughter to marry Grant.
Audrey (15, 3 months to 16) was dating Grant(21). Grant slept with someone because she was not ready for that. Her mother is saying that he was a child then and he is a man now 🙃 He said that he will stop cheating when she will be ready. He proposed to her on her 18th birthday party in front of 200 people - she said no. He proposed a few times after that. During the cruise he told her that she gives him a lesson with dating Cole.
Also her mother wants to her marry someone with 10 digits on their bank account. Grant has 3 billion. But he is getting there so Victoria is happy.
I think Amara (Audrey's brother fiancee) has a thing with Grant. She throws herself at him all the time and he calls Audrey and Amara pumpkin.
When Grant flew on his helicopter he gave Ben (Audrey's brother) a gift for Amara and Ben said that it will occupy her for hours.
Before Audrey's and Colt's first time 🙃
"You have no idea what you're asking, Addie." I squeeze her neck tighter. My mind's made. The ball's in her court and I'm about to find out how brave she really is. “Let me explain before we add benefits into the mix. You can have the worst attitude all day long but..." I dip my head, dragging my nose from her jaw to her ear, “...in bed, I don't take that kind of behavior lightly. In bed, you're my good girl. Submissive. You do as you're told."
I losing my braincells everytime I read things like that
"Red is your safe word," I say, watching her squirm as she eyes the bulge in my pants. I grip her chin between my thumb and forefinger, forcing her to look at me. "Focus for one more minute, pretty girl. It's important. I won't stop unless you use the safe word. You can scream stop until you're blue, but I won't listen unless you say red. Say it, and I stop immediately, understood?"
911 I want to report a crime
Obviously every partner she was with was unskilled and only Colt can make her see stars
”With every org..m I was falling faster, caring more than I should. This isn't how s-x goes for me. I'm not usually as keen to please women. Sure, I'll get them off once or twice, rarely more, unless I'm in an exceptionally good mood and she's been particularly well behaved, but things were different with Addie.”
Great Cole. Every woman wants for You to stay away from her. Except Audrey but she is dumb.
"A sick thought seized my mind when she mentioned birth control. I imagined flushing her pills down the toilet, replacing them with a placebo and knocking her up so she'd stay with me."
911. Heloł. Help.
Monaco Grand Prix outfit was mentioned three times I believe in this book.
During the cruise Amara (bride) decided that there will be some challenges to make in groups and one of them was to walk on a diving board suspended over the ocean with a spoon in mouth on which was an egg and blindfolded. And spoon was not replaceable. Disgusting. Dangerous. Amara did not participate.
There was a bonfire and Colt was thinking about taking the stick from Audrey because she is so delicate that she would hurt herself 😐
Colt said that the brothers got into a fight because one of them did not let someone else except the mother hold their child🙃
There is a moment when Audrey wants to leave the ship because she had an argument with Grant and Colt hit him and the answer that Colt has is obviously 18+.
Girlies. Do Yourself a favour and leave. Ship. And the idiot.
"And I only know one way to clear her mind. "You trust me?" I ask, rising from the bed.
"Do I trust you?" She spits out the words like they're something bitter stuck to her tongue.
"Watch your mouth, Audrey. Answer the question."
That is a NO.
They have 18+ time in the pool area with no care in the world
And he says she cannot refuse 😭
"You're crazy. We can't. Someone could—"
"Don't say no to me,” he cuts in, gripping my neck and pulling me in for an intense, erotic kiss. He lifts his hips less than an inch, but it's enough to show how much he wants me. “In, baby." He skims his hot mouth from my collarbone up to my ear. "Reach under your dress, move your pant..s aside, pull my c..k out and put me in.”
"There are two cameras pointing right at us,” I hiss, diligently ignoring how slick I am, how f.....g needy whenever he touches me. “The bartender's somewhere around and"
Those are Audrey's thoughts
"His fiery look challenges me to do as he said, and there's no way I'll back down now. All the reasons why we shouldn't do this fall away.
Colt's a master of making me submit. A master of centering my thoughts around him and him only.
Before we met, I never would've called myself courageous. Feisty, sure, but too many fears live rent-free inside my head to ever describe me as courageous.
But with Colt, I feel like I can conquer the world.
Fear doesn't hold me back when he's around, bringing out parts of me I didn't know were there in the first place.
But with Colt, I feel like I can conquer the world. Fear doesn't hold me back when he's around, bringing out parts of me I didn't know were there in the first place."
He is no master, you are dumb. You want conquer the world while his inside You? Because You have no other interests. Girl is a veterinarian and we have no thoughs of her about it. How it makes her feel or how she decided to be one.
Another task in that stupid game
They play catch the flag or whatever and obviously that dumb b1tch to avoid being tagged obviously goes on some obviously old bridge with and she is obviously scared and obviously Colt has to rescue her and obviously he thinks that he will jump if she falls.
But also she is not distracted enough to scream at Grant "Get the helicopter, you knobhead!" And "It's your fault I'm here!"
Yeah. He made go on that bridge. Everyone at fault just not miss perfect.
"What are you waiting for?!" Addie yells at Grant again. “Get the helicopter, you daft git! Lift me out of here!" Then she turns to me, too abruptly, making the bridge lurch violently. "Where the hell have you been?! Don't just stand there like an idiot! Do something!"
There are people who do need that helicopter and that resource should not be wasted on idiots like her.
And when he tries to be collected and forces her to tell him if she is hurt he is using Good Girl😭😭😭😭
And obviously they go on themselves when they are back in their room because it is the answer for everything 🤦🤦🤦🤦
And this is the moment when he realizes he loves her. After 5 days😭
"This isn't about control, so when she tugs my t-shirt off, I help..."
Firstly, You need a reward for that help. Never met a man who did more.
Secondly, obviously he goes for control later.
“I need a second to catch my breath," she murmurs, skimming her lips across my jawline while I pull my fingers out. "You're too good at this."
"No breaks."
Your were saying that it is not about control?🙄
The third act break up
So Audrey told Colt she does not want marriage and children.
Colt wanted that.
They broke up.
And when Colt talks with his brothers about their breakup because they decided he needs an intervention that is what You can read
"She never wants to get married," I say, staring at the cherry of my cigarette. "Doesn't want kids."
"She's twenty-two," Shawn pipes in. "She's young. Marriage and kids aren't her priority. You don't know what'll happen a year or two down the line. You just met, Colt.”
Theo nods. "He's right. I never considered a family until after I met Thalia. Maybe Addie will change her mind down the line? Maybe she just wants to finish school first? You're making a mistake letting her go so fast.”
Yes, girlies. Your views do not matter. Not when You are 22. You are young and You will definitely change Your mind.
But Colt actually does make sense when he asks his brothers why they wanted to get married and says
"Addie doesn't need a reason not to want a family, same way none of us need a reason we do. It's a choice. It doesn't require justification.”
Not a plus because that is a normal behaviour.
And what made me laugh is that after two weeks he can smell peaches and sugar in his car😂
And then Colt is an a-hole again. He decides that he want her want to be with Audrey.
"Not every fairy tale ends with a big wedding and children's laughter. Pining after the dream, I forgot the most important thing: happiness doesn't always look like we've imagined. Sometimes, less is more."
Remember girlies that if You do not have children You are less. I always wanted to hear that. My dream man.

December 2, 2025
I am absolutely devastated that I have finished this series! I’m going to be morning for the next five business days😭
This book was super cute. I love a fake dating trope and realised I haven’t read one in a long time so as unrealistic as the timeline was (falling in love in five days??? Bffr) the book was incredible. I love colt! Also Addie being richer than him was funny as fuck because she’s talking in billions and then he’s talking millions and her mom thinking that he was less than for being a millionaire and not a billionaire was crazy but very funny😂😂
Again another cute love story loved both the characters and as usual loved the cameos from the other brothers and their sister wives. Overall I still can’t pick up my favourite brother was but the triplets were my top and then Logan!
