Ehhh, this was okay and insta-love at its finest. But I didn't like it as much as I did with the first two books. Maybe because I didn't feel the connection with the MCs? Idk, but it wasn't palpable, and I feel like something was missing with them. I can't pinpoint it, though. Also, maybe it could be that the stalker was given away so quickly? I had seen it a mile away who was responsible and that he wasn't working alone. 🤷‍♀️

It wasn't a bad story; it just didn't hold my interest, and I even ended up skimming some scenes. But this is still a good novella to pass some time and definitely safe, plus brownie points that it's a dual virgin. 🤭

This one was pretty fast, and isn't we met the brother Gideon in his brothers book, which sorta lands us smack dab in a scene? I read 3 times each brother book. So that was kinda okay.

Gideon is taking on a bodyguard job to watch over Kenna for his friend because she has a stalker who leaves creepy notes and dead animals. And Kenna doesn't think to go to the police lol. Hiring someone is good but documents everything. They had cute banter and sexual tension. We get the brothers bonding and other side charas!

You kinda know who her stalker is, so that's a dead giveaway. Wish it was someone random.

*sigh swoon* Well, this is the third brother Gideon and his Kenna, the musician/singer. Kenna has been harassed sneakily by a dangerous stalker, and Gideon, a former marine now security bodyguard is tasked to protect his Kenna (oh, she is all his as soon as he first saw her, and she fell for him just as fast, but protects her heart and resists her feelings at first). It is insta love sweetness, love at first sight for this marine and his sparrow. She is feisty and speaks her mind and is not afraid of falling in love, but afraid of having her heart broken so it takes her quite a while to give herself completely , but this bear of a man worships the ground she walks on and for him, they are forever, he just has to show her! She resists him, but he does not relent, he makes sure she knows that he is here to stay and that she is the only woman he has ever been with and will ever be with, in return she whispers that she is all his in all ways as well. It never fails to make me physically clasp my hands to my chest with a huge grin on my face when our lovebirds reveal to each other that they are each others one and only, that there was no one before and definitely no one after. EVEN BETTER, for Kenna no man has ever interested her before Gideon, and for Gideon, no woman interested him before Kenna! He said he got hard as a teen, but a gust of wind can get him hard when he was a teen, but he never had the urge to sleep around.
Long scene where they tell each other they are each others firsts everything....Quote,
"...this mouth? That body? Every fucking piece of you was made for
me and only for me."
"Then you better be only mine too, Gideon Carmichael," she
whispers, twisting her fingers up in my tie to pull me closer. "That
filthy mouth and ridiculous body better belong to me, too."
"You think it doesn't?" I grab her hand, placing it over my cock. The
bastard is hard as a rock again, pressing against the zipper of my
pants in a bid to get to her. She feels him and tries to wrap her hand
around him
"He hasn't been like this for anyone but you since I was
a fucking teenager, Kenna."
Her eyes go wide, her mouth parting. She can't even pretend she
doesn't like knowing that. It's written all over her face. "You haven't
been with anyone since…?"
"Never, Kenna. I haven't ever slept with anyone."
"But you just said…"
"I know what I said. I was a teenaged boy. All you had to do was
breathe in our direction and our dicks reacted. Doesn't mean we're
all dumb enough to whip them out every time it happened," I
murmur, tucking strands of hair behind her ears."
*Swoon swoon swoon* (Give me a minute to dreamily imagine this moment, when a gorgeous, devoted, passionate, alpha man tells HIS ONLY woman that he is all hers in all ways, and how possessive she must feel when she hears it and looks into his eyes.....she must be thinking, "MINE! HE IS ALL MINE!"
We get so much passion, love, steamy sex scenes, a mystery to solve, and we get to see his hilarious banter with his two brothers (both dual virgin romances in the series and both love stories are SO GOOD!) I love his relationship with his brothers, they are awesome together. All three brothers live their love story around the same time, which is great, because it makes me want to reread the first two books (which I want to and will, many many times). Gideon was a mystery and now in the first two books, when I will reread them, I will know how he feels and where he is at in his own love story!
There is mystery as to who the stalker is, but it isn't angsty in an uncomfortable way. Nichole Rose knows how to raise the stakes in the drama department for sure, but there is no question or doubt for the love and devotion between our couple. Our heroine wants to give herself to her man, but she keeps a part of herself protected, and with the stalker problem, she feels overwhelmed. Gideon is just determined to show her she can fall into him and he will always catch her. I am and will always swoon at the unrelenting hero that will not budge and bulldoze his way to his woman, pulling her into his arms and never letting her go. Gideon is that man, he tells Kenna's brother Kane, that he is hers and that is not going to ever change. He is not wishy washy, there are no misunderstandings, no pushing away, none of that nonsense! He is an alpha male who is unstoppable, bringing his Sparrow in his arms tightening them glaring at every other male in the vicinity and growls at them to step back! He is hers! Nichole Rose writes the perfect hero, and Gideon is one of them, (so are his two brothers).
Gideon telling Kane that he is claiming sister, and no one will stop him, Quote,
"She needs me, and I'm not going anywhere. No
disrespect to you, but she's the only one who gets to decide what
path her future takes and who she shares it with. I plan to be that
man. Get used to it."
I love that about her writing. Nichole Rose's couples are strong and you can feel all through the book, the love and passion knowing without a shadow of a doubt it will last several life times. We get so many romantic and dreamy moments, like when we get his inner monologue, and he describes how glad he is that he saved himself for her and how incredible his first time is! I love it when the hero mentions how magical it is for him to experience sex for the first time with the love of his life and she is the only one to ever know him intimately. It is so powerful and meaningful, making the erotic scene that follows incredibly steamy. *fanning my face*
Quote, when he breaches her virginity,
"Now you're
mine, Sparrow. You belong to me, baby."
"You're mine too, Gideon."
"Yeah. God, yeah." I breathe her in, reveling in this new reality. The
one where I belong to this goddess..."
Do yourself a favor and read it, I urge you! Read the two previous books, it is so good, all the brothers are big, strong Adonises, each with their own quirks that makes them interesting, and all three have saved themselves for their woman and our heroines in the book also are our heroes one and only, also interesting and lovable with their own quirks. Kenna is a great character, she is the type of heroine who is selfless and thinks of her man's comforts and needs. She supports him making sure he knows that she is there for him. I adore that in a heroine. One that is ready to fight for her man and hug him tightly to comfort him, ready to swipe at anyone who means him harm. Kenna is the woman our sweet marine deserves and Gideon deserves love and tenderness as much as she does, they are just beautiful together.
I am going to reread this trilogy. I don't know if I have a favorite, I love all three, and as I said in the second book in the series review, I am going to read the whole trilogy back to back, and plan on dedicating a whole day, "Nichole Rose 'Carmichael Security Series' Reading Day"! I am itching to reread the first two, I have been waiting for this third book to come out and now I am going to reread Zayne and Emma's love story "Truly Mine", and Zion and Kenzi's book "Madly Yours" before rereading Gideon's and Kenna's love story again. Sounds like the perfect weekend plan, with a perfect series. I know all you one true love romance readers will devour "Deeply Hers" happily!
Nichole Rose is an author I look forward to reading with glee, she just spoils us with dual virgin/one true love romances and I am SO happy EVERY time she writes them! *crossing fingers and toes that she keeps giving us dual virgin couples*
Happy reading everyone!!

My reviews always contain spoilers, I write them so I can remember the story.

Kenna is an up and coming country musician who has a stalker, her brother hires Gideon Carmichael to protect her. Gideon takes one look at Kenna and knows she’s his one and he will do anything to protect her. When she’s going to introduce him as her cousin to everyone he beats her to it and says he’s her man. She’s a bit irritated but secretly is ok since she is very attracted to Gideon.
Her brother, Kane and Gideon both suspect her manger John as her stalker but Kenna doesn’t agree with them. Even her sister in law tells her John’s fixated on her.
When John sees her with Gideon he gets mad and she finally sees he is jealous and agrees to fire him.
Kenna is sassy and handles Gideon's bossiness well. Their sexy times are hot, dual virgins!
The stalker keeps sending disturbing gifts, there is an instance when John was in sight of them which leads the guys to think maybe there is a second person working with John. Turns out there is. It’s the bar owner where Kenna preforms a few times a month. He owes John money and has to do as John says. He kidnaps Kenna and brings her to John. Thankfully Gideon and his friend on the police force figure it out and they all rush to where Kenna is and save her. Lots of I love yous and a proposal.
Epilogue 10 years later with her preforming and their son Cormac just as protective as Gideon where Kenna is concerned.

Profundamente Dela

Há tempos eu aguardava essa história, desde que li o livro do irmão da Kenna (Learning Curve). Eu gostei bastante, mas a residência da Kenna em se relacionar com Gideon, mesmo depois deles já estarem juntos (principalmente por causa disso) foi algo que me incomodou por boa parte da história. Apesar de entender o motivo dela, não achei que combinou com o tipo de pessoa que ela era. Ainda bem que a autora tem um jeito todo especial de contar a história, e quando Kenna finalmente tomou coragem para lutar pelo que queria, foi simplesmente incrível. Eu já quase não lembrava mais do incômodo que passei em boa parte da história. 😁

Em relação ao perseguidor dela, não foi nenhuma novidade, porque no epílogo do livro do irmão dela já tinha sido falado quem era o culpado. Mas a autora colocou um detalhezinho a mais que, por vezes, me fez ter dúvidas se realmente o culpado seria aquele mesmo. Só uma coisinha: quem é que deixa a mulher sozinha tendo um perseguidor na cola dela? Surreal! 🤦🏾‍♀️ Deu no que deu, né?!

Apesar dos detalhes citados que eu gostaria que fossem diferentes, a história foi muito boa. E o último capítulo foi bem especial, com a família dele reunida, sem falar do epílogo maravilhoso. Agora fiquei com vontade de ler os livros dos filhos desses irmãos Carmichael. Claro que eu recomendo!

OMG!!! WOW!! Fab*u*lous Absolutely love this one!! I couldn't put this one down. This was a nice quick, short read.

Gideon mets Kenna when he is asked to do a favor for his navy buddy Bryant Protect You who found out he has a cousin who's sister in law is being stalked. Gideon goes to talk to his brother's about a job, but they are busy. Gideon goes to met Kenna and her brother Kane Learning Curve to find out who they know and what they want him to do.

Kenna lets Gideon know that he'll be working for her and she'll be the one to tell him about her stalker. Gideon apologies to Kenna but she lets her brother Kane handle things. Kenna takes a break and talks to Gideon, he tells her she's isn't to trust anyone only her close family. Gideon tells Kenna that's he'll be with her all the time, that's means he's moving in with her. When Kenna introduces Gideon she starts to tells her manager John he's her cousin but Gideon cuts her off telling him he's her man. Gideon doesn't like Kenna's manager, John and he makes her aware of that. When Gideon tells Kenna that he doesn't like her manager she tells him her brother Kane doesn't either. When Gideon takes Kenna to her brothers to pick up her things, he kisses her, then she kisses him. Kenna tells Gideon he works for her and that can't happen again. After they have dinner, Gideon insist on cleaning up, when Kenna protest he picks her up and sits her on the chair and tells her to watch.

He's the best choice she ever made, he's her world and she know she's his.

Madly, deeply, truly hers
Just when I think I’ve picked my favorite Carmichael brother we get another one that is so swoonworthy I can’t help but pick them all now. Gideon was so grumpy and stoic, but when he saw Kenna that switch flipped in him and there was no way the two of them weren’t going to be endgame. The way these characters had such an intense connection was so fun to read, and I loved the mystery of who Kenna needed to be protected from while her and Gideon were falling deeply in love. The romance was everything, and I just adored this entire book. Bonus points for Kenna’ brother and sister-in-law from Learning Curve being in this story!

I want to start by giving Nichole Rose a HUGE hug for her dual virgin story, I LOVED that aspect and the story as a whole 😍 "I'm glad I saved myself for her. This is how it's supposed to be. If I would have thought to ask for anything for my first time, it would have been her, just like this. Already, this was worth the wait. She was worth it." *SWOON* Gideon, our ex marine, now bodyguard fell for Kenna his beautiful singer/songwriter as soon as he met her. Kane, her brother put the meeting together to hire Gideon to protect his sister because she is dealing with a really creepy stalker who is leaving dead songbirds in gift boxes, threatening poems, and taking pictures of her. Kenna can feel the attraction to Gideon but she is trying her best to ignore it, fearful about winding up like her mother. Their parents were together for 40 years and when her dad died two years ago, her mother never really recovered. So Kenna thinks it is better to never love at all but Gideon is determined to keep her safe and claim her completely ❤️ "You have so much love to give. Don't keep it locked away because you're afraid to lose someone. If you do that, you've already lost everyone before you ever even have them." The chemistry between these two is so great. Gideon is being respectful of her but not allowing her to push him away and Kenna is trying so hard not to fall for him so it creates great banter between them
"Poor me, I sass. You said lucky wrong Kenna." 😂
Gideon protects Kenna while working to figure out who is stalking her and to put an end to her torment and he never wavers in his love and dedication to her. There is no pushing away, no breakups, no miscommunications, it's just a really great love story where we get to see them come together. "He plants his roots deep and refuses to bend. He's steadfast in his devotion, his love unwavering and bright. I know because I've felt it every single day since he claimed me as his own." I definitely recommend this book and will read it again.

I generously received a free copy of this book from the author via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

Do you want to read an epic love story? Well, this is the one for you. This was freaking awesome. I have adored all of the Carmichaels. Gideon is the final brother we have to meet and let me tell you he was worth the wait. Holy. Crap. He was super growly and protective and OTT possessive. Just perfect. He definitely gave Kenna an experience. Lol. He never wanted love, but you wouldn't know that from how he is with her. The world begins and ends with her. She quickly becomes his everything and isn't afraid to let her know that. That is what makes Nichole's MMCs so amazing. They love completely and fiercely. They will do anything for their lady loves. I also really loved Kenna. She was sweet and caring, yet also a feisty badass. She will be super sweet to you unless she thinks you are trying to railroad her. No one puts Kenna in a corner. All of the drama over the stalker was so well written. I stayed up way too late because the story had its claws in me. I do not regret it. What could make this even more exciting for a fan of Nichole's books? Oh you know, seeing some characters from her older books. Characters we absolutely love. I love how her books connect and we continue to see all of the people well fell in love with again and again. I love to see each one still blissfully in love while we are falling in love with some knew ones. So seriously, you must read this series. You will fall in love with the Carmichael men and the women that turn their world upside down. ❤️

[Rainbowlovesbooks · Rating 5 out of 5]

The line that sealed this book as my one of my favourites is;
"I licked her, she's mine." in the blurb. I knew as soon as I read it Nichole was going to have me hooked, she didn't disappoint.
If that doesn't sum up Gideon alpha male mentality to a T, classic middle child attitude, which is perfect to balance out the heavy theme of stalking.
The final installment of the Carmichael Security series follows Gideon and Kenna. Gideon is ex marine, alpha male, middle child who just wanted a dog, but got a younger brother.
Kenna is a musician, curvy, with a stalker problem, a younger sister who just wanted a cat instead of an older brother (see a pattern here).
Both had closed themselves off to the idea of love, Gideon because he was a military man, and Kenna because of the loss of her Dad, but there meeting changes all of that.
The Carmichael's have a rule not to date clients, one that Gideon is more than happy to throw out the window for his Sparrow.
Their back and forth banter is brilliantly written, providing light playfulness to the dark theme of stalking and kidnapping. The twist as well was appreciated, as it kept me glued I wanted to know who was behind Kenna's stalker.

If you enjoy spice, alpha males, strong curvy females, ex military romance, dual pov writing, employer /employee relationships, instalove, instaromance, pure love, angst, double virgin, intermingling characters (across the series), and HEAs then Nichole has written a 5/5 stars book you've got to read.

Deeply Hers is the first installment in Nichole Rose’s Carmichael Security series. In is she follows the romantic journey of Kenna Maxwell and Gideon Carmichael. She is a curvy, gorgeous, strongly independent musician. When she has a stalker after her, her older brother Kane, reaches out to Carmichael Security for a bodyguard for Kenna. Gideon, the middle brother, gets this assignment. When he and Kenna meet sparks fly. They both recognize their attraction. Kenna is cautious as seen as seen the devasting affects her mother experiences with the death of her husband Kenna shores up the walls around her heart to keep her safe, but, then there is Gideon. Can Gideon break down those walls? Will he find her stalker? Can they find happiness? To find out, you must read this book.

Ms. Rose penned a remarkable alpha male and curvy woman romance. Her characters are multi-dimensional. She reveals their strengths and vulnerabilities, thus, endearing them to her readers and making them real. Her dialog is strong. Her use of a dual POV further helps readers to understand the lead characters and their dynamics. I enjoyed her use of secondary characters, Kane and the other Carmichael brothers. It added to this romance. Lastly, the way she constructed the antagonist, John, and the lengths we goes through in trying to fulfil his goals definitely heighted the suspense to this romance coupled with the betrayal of Clive Rucker was a surprise. Nicely done, Ms. Rose

loved it, only one detail I disliked

I loved all three books of the series. This last one is sweet. Gideon is awesome, sweet, patient, and real bossy. She’s a sweetheart but really sassy, and strong. She stands up for herself and works hard for her career. The book also made me laugh some times.

SPOILER: The only detail I didn’t like and saw it as soon as it started was when he leaves her alone in his house!!! Her bodyguard leaves her alone!! That’s a no, no!! Zayne could’ve kept him updated with his brother’s condition or even better, Gideon should’ve taken her with him to the hospital and Kane could pick her there to ride to the studio. His love and safety for her should’ve been a priority over anything else. Also, a bodyguard with not enough security that the door opened easily and she gets kidnapped!! I didn’t like it.
The rest… loved it. And Cormac… he’ll be a troublemaker like his dad. I love him already.

It would’ve been nice to see the interaction of the 3 girls together.

In all. It’s a safe read. Sweet. Both virgins and strongly in love from the first moment they saw each other. I would definitely read it again.

Once again connections!! We met Kenna in Learning Curve and wondered what happened with her creepy manager. In Deeply Hers, we learn. I can honestly say I have never giggled so much as I did when I read this book. I was only 2% in and I was giggling! The writing is perfect. The characters are magnificent. Gideon is a growly alpha male, who stop at nothing to protect his “Sparrow”. Kenna is a glorious songbird, with opinions and thoughts all her own, and she does not want to be bossed, told what to do, especially by a man who is just like her over-protective big brother. But fate has other plans, and when Kenna receives threats and notes, Gideon has to take over, and wow, does he ever take over, is spectacular fashion! I could not put this book down, I could not stop reading. Deeply Hers grabs the reader right away and does not let go!! And as I said, connections! Characters from other books by Nichole Rose makes appearances, making me want to go back and re-read everything again!! PERFECT!!!!!

I’ve been so excited to read about Giant’s parents, and it was worth the wait to learn he’s just like his father. Gideon was bossy, larger than life and hilarious while also being loyal and loving hard. I really enjoyed this one because all though Kenna felt that same instant connection, she was sassy and stubborn and fought her feelings a bit more than other FMC. I thought I had the stalker worked out in the beginning, and although I was right in a sense, the twist at the end was really well done! This book had it all, a bit of angst and danger while still keeping the comedic relief, love and steam we all love. Tons of previous characters were in this one as well and it was so fun getting a glimpse of Giant’s antics as a child. It had insta love, double virgins, mild breeding kink, HEA and an epilogue 10 years in the future. I’m sad to see the end of this series, but excited for what comes next in the Nichole Rose universe!

Loved it. Love this series..

Love all three of the Carmichael brothers in this series. This one is about Gideon. Like his brothers, he falls in love quick with the MFC. Kenna is strong, smart ( if a little naive) sassy, and smart. She is afraid to love and lose so she tries to resist Gideon but it doesnt work. The stalker storyline is intriguing and the story is a bit longer than most.of Nichole's other stories but that is a good thing because it doesnt feel rushed.
I was a bit baffled by the stalker's motive but, who cares. People do things for all kinds of crazy reasons and this person was creepy. This was.one of my favorites so far of Nichole's books and I love her stuff.

I love Nichole Rose’s books! This is another Carmichael brother, Gideon. He runs a security firm with his two brothers. They are all former military. Gideon is tasked with being a bodyguard for a rising musician, Kenna, who is being stalked. He hates the mere idea of guarding her but does it as a favor to a friend. Once he sees Kenna, he is toast. Kenna is a beautiful, curvy, sassy, independent, talented woman.
Right away the sparks fly between them. Not wanting to follow in her mother’s footsteps, Kenna does everything she can to push Gideon away. That doesn’t last long. First of all, he won’t allow it and secondly, she really doesn’t want to push him away.
I enjoyed everything about this book - especially the special relationship the brothers have.
I am voluntarily leaving this review.

Insta love with all of the feels. Kenna has a stalker and Gideon is hired as her bodyguard, they don’t want anyone to know that’s what he is, so they tell her team that he’s her boyfriend. Gideon of course has no problem agreeing to that lie. Their chemistry is almost instant and their banter is funny. We also get to see bits Gideon interacting with his brothers again, which is always hilarious. Though this is insta love, it got really deep and serious between the two of them as well and you got to see more vulnerable sides, which was nice. Throw in the suspense of a stalker and it’s a good quick read.

I received this as an arc from the author and I’m voluntarily leaving my honest review.

This was a phenomenal bodyguard romance. It was a little bit longer than the other books in the series but still not a long story but really well written and it had a great pace. The storyline was entertaining and did its best to keep me on my toes and guess who the stalker was. And even though I did guess I was still entertained and fully invested in the story. Gideon and Kenna had incredible chemistry and I loved his bossy nature, it was clear to see that Cormac takes after his daddy. I loved it.

Famous last words!

I cannot tell you how much I love the Carmichael brothers and their parents, they are so extra...over the top, in your face, growly, demanding, possessive and completely and utterly crazy...but they own it, embrace it and crave it!
Kenna keeps Gideon on his toes as she denies, avoids, evades and outright runs from their chemistry. But she will never outrun Gideon, their chemistry, their love, or their future!
An over the top, hilarious and fun (excluding the obsessed stalker - obviously) read on Kindle Unlimited.

This is book three and the last in the Carmichael Security series.

OTT, insta-love with some spice.

Gideon and Kenna were perfect together. Their banter was hilarious. Their chemistry was off the charts. The cherry on top? DUAL VIRGINS!

What I also loved about all three books was the small little snippets we got to see of the banter between the brothers. I have to say that Zayne (H from book one) is my favorite.

Now we finally get the story of the last Carmichael brother and how he found his Kenna. Gideon is taking a bodyguard job as a favor for an ex-military Buddy and has to protect the singer Kenna from a stalker that now threatens her life. Gideon sees Kenna for the first time and he just knows that she will be his wife. Kenna will never fall in love .... Or so she thinks, because Gideon will do everything to keep Kenna safe and happy and to give him a chance 😉 Instalove, sweet, steamy, romantic , with action, twist and turns , fun to read and with an awesome HEA 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[Laura Blakey · Rating 5 out of 5]

Insta love at its best! Kenna and Gideon are everything, he’s asked to protect her as she’s got a stalker, so begins a love and passionate relationship with lots of sass and bossiness from Kenna and Gideon,
Also love the fact they are both virgins in this it’s so sweet that they seem to have waited till they knew.
Good story excellent characters.
And my favourite part is the banter between the Gideon, Zion and Zayne, makes me laugh out loud.
Also love that will do anything for each other.

Gideon and Kenna are paired

Gideon and Kenna are paired when his security firm his hired to protect her from a stalker.

She's a rising singer that immediately noticed Gideon as a man. Gideon is smitten too.

Kenna keeps receiving threatening gifts and notes. Gideon and her brother, Kane are trying to figure out who the stalker is and stop him.

Will she be saved before the stalker does good on his threats?

I enjoyed this read 📚!

Fun story and a great conclusion to this trilogy. I liked Gideon and Kenna and I really liked how they interacted with each other. Yes it's OTT like the others but there is also a level of respect there between them. Kenna is such a strong character and I liked how she stood up to the men around her and was still able to be vulnerable with Gideon.

Gideon Carmichael runs Carmichael Security with his brothers Zayne and Zion. He is asked by an old military buddy to help protect up and coming country music singer Kenna Maxwell. Kenna has a stalker so her brother Kane wants a bodyguard for her. They tell everyone that Gideon is her new boyfriend until they can rule the people closest to Kenna out.

Loved the attraction between Kenna and Gideon and loved that they respected each other’s jobs. Great series.

Deeply Hers is Gideon and Kenna's bodyguard/ singer, curvy girl HEA. Kenna is a country singer with a stalker. Gideon is hired to be her bodyguard and find out who is stalking her. What he doesn't expect is for the love he didn't need or want to smack him in the face.
The brothers interactions are hilarious 🤣 I also love their Ma. She's great! Great story. I have enjoyed them all very much!

It’s hard to figure out what to say because all I can say is wow! Nichole Rose really knocked it out of the park with these Carmichael men but Gideon threw me for a loop in the best of ways! I loved how supportive he was of Kenna and oh my god do I love Kenna and her sassiness and take no crap attitude. The epilogue was so darn adorable to. What a way to end a series!
