Hazel Kelly is an Amazon bestselling author who writes sweet and steamy romance that will make you smile all over.
When she's not traveling the globe in search of cozy hammocks to write in, she enjoys tackling her tbr list with a nice big glass of anything will do. She lives in Dublin with her favorite Irishman and their three-legged cat.
Since starting this series, I have been anxious to find out what the end was going to be like. I have greatly enjoyed the journey with these two!
What happens when the very determined to stay a bachelor forever Will finally gets his head out of his bottom end and realizes that Ella is the one for him? Well a lot of planning and making up to do for starters!
Ella is heart broken. She’s in pieces. She gave her heart to the very man that would not accept it. The job and career where her only goals until Will wiggled his way into her panties and eventually her heart. She greatly enjoyed their tryst but regrets letting her feelings get in the way. Ella is determined to walk away with her head held high and focus on her career again. She may have been kicked down but she’s a fighter. Determined to get back to who she was before Will came into her life.
Now that Ella has made that decision, Will FINALLY admits to his feelings and knows he has messed up royally! With the help of his son, he has devised a plan and is trying his best to woo Ella back to his arms. Will it work? Is it too late? Read to find out!
This was such a great series! I highly recommend it. Well worth the time! The books are written well and you easily get trapped in the story. It’s been an emotional ride but one that I would take again. The characters are amazing. I felt for Ella and her struggles to keep her private life separate from her professional life. I loved Will but wanted to knock him out at times! Men! Do yourself a favor and go 1-click this series!
If you have not read books 1-4 STOP AND READ THEM NOW. If you dont like spoilers stop and read no more. i just have to say I love Hazel Kelly and i am so glad she offered the first book free on amazon because i found her that way. Now she has a reader for life. Okay Ella Ella Ella... I love you Ella but girlfriend I am so glad your friend Jackie was there to bitch-slap you cause i was so ready to do it if i could have. Ben and Will I am so happy they finally started to act like father and son. Please read this series from book 1 to the end of book 5. It is so good. Now I would so love to see Ben have a series of books......
So I read all 5 series and up until the end I actually like them, (Beware Spoiler Alerts)I thought the characters was great. I loved Frank, Jackie and of course the main characters Will and Ella, I even loved Ella's Mother, and Will's Son Ben lol but I hated how the story ended with Will and Ella and I wish it didn't take him soooooo long to figure out he needed her, almost to the point where all they did was talk about each other, I felt the story was dragging out to the end but then everything is good again, but it has a random end, I was kind of confused, 🤷♀️but I did love how they felt towards each other and how it was described in plain detail.😞☺
After a pretty crap week, I needed something to lose myself in and take my mind off things. Wil Abbott certainly helped! I could not put the first book down and the rest followed suit. By the third book I even contemplated calling in sick at work so I could stay home and finish the series. Whilst Ella's immaturity had me screaming at the pages I soon realized it was because I wanted Wil all to myself. I especially liked the twist with Ben. Thank you Wil and Ella (and Hazel Kelly of course) for providing the distraction I needed to help get me through the last few days. Definitely worth a read.
I like this authors writing style but I did not believe their “love” The spice was there & I liked the tension but I think this book should’ve focused more on them falling for each other since it was the last book in the series. I feel like she did more apologizing in the end than him when she was the one hurt by his actions. He definitely should’ve done more groveling!! Overall this series was a fun easy read for me but the ending just did not do it for me, also there was some parts through out these series where I was like ummm….

Final book was okay. Was a 2.5 range I'd have really ️said for the whole 5 books (which could have really bn done in 1 bk). If the books would have bn 1 then I think the book would be worth reading. Wasn't really much happening which did make it a very quick read but definitely the characters could have bn more detailed and in the book itself pity as this books had the potential. To be really good.
This is the last in the series and it has been a very enjoyable series! This book ended it well, the relationships between the characters grew and we saw more of Ella's best friend and mother. This one made me like Will more because he finally realised what he had lost and did make the effort to make sweet gestures to win Ella back. The story flowed well and was a quick read. I would really recommend this series.

I enjoyed all five of the books in this series. It was exhilarating, sexy, heartbreaking and comical at times. But every sentence, paragraph and page lead to an emotional reaction. Ella and Will will take you on a rollercoaster ride, but it will be so worth it.
This is the last book in this series. Give books all together. I really don't think that it needed five books. Between the lengths and formatting. It seemed a bit much. Everything did work out at the end.
Awww I thought this was a fitting end to a lovely easy read. This one was the best of all the series as I felt the most emotion from the characters in this. Overall a great read!
Now as most of you should know that this is the final book in this collection and for those of you that don't well now you do. Ella is trying her hardest to keep everything together but she is still struggling with the fact that Ben is Will's son, and that whilst she went on that date with Ben to ice-skate she nearly ended up kissing him. Thing's really do seem to be getting to her, so when she finds out that Jackie is soon going to be in New York she can hardley wait but in the mean time Jackie has suggested that to make Will jealous then she needs to have a fake boyfriend. So when Ella arrives at work on Monday morning she is completely shocked to find that there are a flowers placed on her desk, at first she thinks that they are from Will but then when Will see's them he is also surprised and this is when she realises that it was indeed Jackie trying to help her in one of her many ways.
When Will see's the flowers on Ella's desk, he is hurt because he thinks that she shouldn't be moving from him because what they had was special, so when he decides to see who the flowers are from during Ella's lunch break he finds no evidence as to who they could be from. He is still struggling to process this all so he decides to head out to The Nest to help out Barbara for the lunch shift and then afterwards they both go to a little café to have a catch up and this is when he finds out that Ella has officially moved into her new apartment but also finds out that she isn't seeing anyone serious. So when Barbara mentions that Jackie rang the night before to ask for Ella's work address he starts to pick up the pieces and figure out that the flowers are from Jackie, they both talk about how Ella's doing at work and the fact that he is extremely proud of all the lengths she is going to for all of her clients and he gives her a CD to give to Ella hoping that she will realise that this is his way of showing how much he cares about her.
When Ella does receive the CD, she is completely mad about it and even though she loves all the songs on the album when Monday morning comes she has a full on go at Will because he had no right to buy her anything considering the only relationship that they had was just in work and nothing more. Then Will ends up shocking her by saying that he finally realises that she is the one that he wants to be with and that he wants everything that she wants too but Ella refuses to accept that he's changed and has feelings for her and when she says that she might turn up at his place for valentines day it still hurts him because he is trying to show that he cares about her.
Now that Jackie's in town and officially moved into the apartment for Ella everything that has nothing to do with work and guys seems to be going well but when she discovers the next day that Will lied to her about his dad she honestly can't believe what he's done and officially decides that she wants nothing more to do with him outside of work. Even though Jackie suggests that she should at least call him she still won't listen and starts to think that Jackie is slowly taking his side, she can't believe that her best friend would do that her.
What will happen when Ella accidently drunk dials Will, will it be a good thing that she did because of the trouble she might get herself into or will it be a waste of time. Also what will happen the next morning when Ella sees all the amount of trouble that Will went to the night before, will she forgive him and they work things out or will it just hurt Ella more.
Trust me when I say you will want to read this last book because of everything that happens, you won't be disappointed and you won't want to put this book down until you have read the very last word. Hazel Kelly you have done an amazing job with this series as always, keep up the good work, I am looking forward to reading more of your books in the future.
Gave book 3:4 stars. But book 4 & 5 definitely get 5 stars. A perfect amount of suspense kept me reading. Liked the series. Good read if your into romance.
This book was very bittersweet. It was a favorite of mine in the series and I love how Will and Ella's story concluded, but at the same time, I'm sad to see this series come to an end. My favorite thing about this book was the romance. I love how Will finally realized his deep feelings for Ella and Ella figured out how to stand up for herself and what she wanted. All-in-all, an amazing ending to a fun and enjoyable series!
Will finally admits to himself what he's been trying to keep inside for so long. He is in love with Ella. Understanding that a girl like Ella comes once in a lifetime and that she isn't going to wait around forever, he comes up with a plan to get her to take him back. He only needs one more chance. But is he too late to win back her affections?
Ella is hurting. She knows she'll never love a man as much as she loves Will, but she can't keep waiting around for him to realize that they are good together. That what they have is love. Now Ella has a new mission: protect her heart at all costs. Problem with that plan? Will. He says he wants her to give him another chance, but can she allow him that? Allow him to hurt her again?
I really enjoyed reading this series. The authors' writing always draws me in and I liked that the characters evolved as the story went on. The main characters were rough around the edges in the beginning of the series, and at the end they still had their flaws, but at least they grew as people and owned up to their mistakes. I loved the storyline of the series and can't wait to read more from this author in the future!
I highly recommend this series to everyone!
My favorite quotes:
"Then I tried to picture the perfect man in my mind for a few minutes. There was just one problem. When I closed my eyes, all I could see was Will."
"Men without women in their lives are f**king useless. Not only do they lack inspiration and motivation..."
"Women can be a pain in the a**, but life is a bigger pain in the a** without them, I assure you."
I really enjoyed this series, but there were a few times I was annoyed with all of the characters. Jackie seemed pretty unsupportive at times. I think I'd reconsider her being my best friend since she always seemed to be sticking up for Will. I know he was trying to do something really special and nice at the end, but how many chances does a guy get?! I think, no matter what, you should have your friend's back. If you don't agree, that's great, but don't tell her she's being a bitch because she wasn't willing to give a guy another shot when he'd already broken her heart multiple times. Will was seriously selfish and conceited. When he and Ella would fight, it would be all about the things he's done for her and can do for her, and why is she ungrateful, why does she need more? Because she has feelings for you and she wants more, so why should she settle just because you do nice things for her and buy her stuff? And why was Ella always thinking things were her fault and she should apologize?! Why apologize for being rejected? You put yourself out there and told him how you feel, and you have to apologize because you want more and he doesn't? Honey, you didn't ruin the arrangement; you were being honest and trying not to get in too deeply because you knew you were going to get your heart broken. And with how many times Will lied and led you on, you don't need to apologize for anything.
I'm sure with all of this it seems like I actually didn't enjoy the series, but I wasn't annoyed the the characters enough to stop reading or to throw my kindle across the room. And the story line was good enough that I didn't want to put my kindle down because I just had to know what was going to happen next with these two.
So it's a HEA! But I do wish they extended it a bit more once they got together. So will asked Ella do be his valentine and Ella didn't answer. But the day of valentines she ended up not going because she found out that he lied about the death of his father. She got plastered on Valentine's with her friend / roommate and ended up calling him. He ended up going to pick her up. The next morning Ella was a bitch to him. And jackie thought that was wrong on her side. Will definitely thought he had lost Ella. But he didn't want that. Ella ended up coming over that night to apologize for her attitude. They ended up making up. And that's the happily ever after. But I wish it didn't end right when they got together. I wish they would of had an epilogue. Other than that I enjoyed the five books about Ella and will.

Throughout the whole book I kept thinking "Come on Ella wise up". I loved how he went out of his way to show her how much he loves her. I broke my heart when she woke up and looked around his place and realized what he'd all done for her. It all worked out in the end.
I received a free copy from the author to read and review.
This was the last installment of the tempted series, and I am going to miss reading about Will and Ella. They made some common mistakes along the way that most couples do but they were able to stick it out. Will is a great book boyfriend, I really enjoyed his sweet side in this book. He came a long way, and I was utterly charmed by him. Ella was young for him in my opinion, but still a lovely HEA. Four stars of entertainment!
Well the story was worth reading. I'm just glad I read it on KU. It was entertaining but not great. Don't know how else to put it really. The characters were fun, if not a little immature at times, I just couldn't grasp the bond between the two, other than their sexual chemistry. Because considering Will must of been in his late 30's at a push and billionaire, he was probably just as immature as Ella.
It was ok, I continued to read BC I don't like to leave things unfinished. But it was more for high schoolers then actual adults. She was so immature and their thoughts just keep reiterating what was said out loud over and over again. But that's just my opinion on this and I'm an avid reader, reading at least six books per week.
this series was great. honestly I can't stand friends like Jackie but they do exist. how you gonna tell her what to do and when she do it fuss her out? especially after she just got you an apartment. ungrateful ass.
Loved Ella and Will! Loved the storyline, characters had good depth, love the flirtatious nature! Funny quips. Loves scenes ~very nice~ Loved the addition of Bill as well added a interesting turn! Great book
I struggled through the books. Will's mind was just a ridiculous place to be and it just never stopped. I wasn't aware that someone could be that shallow; all the time. Despite his age, it took him forever to actually grow up.
This series and club Abbott have been my favorites of all the series' that I have read by Hazel. I enjoy the characters and story lines. The steamy sex is not bad either.
