I. A. Dice writes emotionally intense romance—both dark and light—but always equally spicy. When she’s not dreaming up love stories, she’s probably drinking too much coffee and swooning over fictional men.
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.
There’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?
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👋🏻
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.
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.
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. 📚💔
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!
I can’t wait for your future series @ I.A. DICE!🫶🏼 all these teasers for Breaking Hailey thooughhhhh - girllll 🤭
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. 4,5/5⭐️ 2,5/5🌶
“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.
i'm so sad this series has come to an end but i'm also happy they all got their happy endings 🥹 this is definitely my all time favourite series i love them sm <3
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!
