Love the story line.

I chose this rating based on the story lines. The first three books were engaging, setting up the characters and a strong sense of family members. I thoroughly enjoy that aspect. The fact that you forgot to edit them before you pushed publish, drives me crazy! Wrong tense, wrong words, wrong pronouns. Please edit them. I know correcting your own work is challenging since you read it as your created it - not the way you typed it, but please have someone edit your books. They are too good to be this way. I will keep reading and you keep writing.

Great series

This is a great series. The characters over lap between all the books so please read them in order. They are books that you don’t want to put down and buy the next book ASAP.

Why do I dislike clementine?

She is hiding her pregnancy from the father and I am highly against that! I think she needs to get over herself. I'm enjoying the story of Roland and heath. Onto book 22!

This series is getting back to how good it used to be. I still think there are over dramatic scenes, but I’m loving Clementine & Wards story line

Yes

I like the movement that is happening. For a while it was boring, now it is getting interesting again. Looking forward to the wedding for sure, and the baby.

Sean has had enough and I’m honestly not surprised. It can’t exactly be easy having to watch his back and hold his breath every time something happens. It can’t exactly be good for his physical nor his emotional health either. I really want to know who it is that seems intent on trying to hurt Sean and his family. I love Scarlet though, her sass is epic and I just smiled at her when she appeared in this book.

Uh oh, Conrad. I can tell Lexie only wants sex, she seems to be the female version of Slade. I don’t think it’ll end well to be fair. I can see it ending in disaster if I’m really honest. I don’t know whether I like Lexie enough to be a fan. She doesn’t seem to be as bad as people make her out to be. I mean loving sex and having a lot of it doesn’t mean she can’t be liked. I guess I hope she has more to her than just that, she seems to be a one dimensional character in my personal opinion. I hope that changes.

Conrad has a talk with his father but of course Conrad doesn’t listen. Beatrice hurt him more than he is still willing to accept. He needs to let go of his anger and bitterness towards her because if he doesn’t then he will never move on and find the happiness that he does deserve. I think his journey is going to be full of ups and downs over the rest of the next few books.

Trinity! Slade! No! No! Stop fighting! You two are forever, as in for life, with marriage, kids and grandkids in your future. Stop hurting my heart when you both fight! I don’t like it! These two are my top couple alongside Arsen and Silkie, they are truly meant to be with each other. I’ll fight people if they aren’t end game!

Clem, oh darling, I get the fear, I get the insecurity. I want her to let Ward back into her life so he can be the rock she desperately needs. I think she’s losing control of her own mind because she thinks she has to do it alone, she really doesn’t. EL please put Clem and Ward back on a better happier path with each other preferably.

Ward and Cayson, that was interesting. I think Ward is now definitely here to stay, I vote he is officially one of the gang. Cayson is still one of my favourites but he and Skye need their own stuff going on rather than be the secondary characters to other people’s stories. So yeah I vote more Skye and Cayson please!

Speaking of that, my Theo and Thomas need to make an appearance, like ASAP! I am looking forward to more!

5 stars!!

WOW! that was a drama filled episode.

Clementine is doing a fairly good job of keeping the father secret. I think that deep down Ward knows its his. He is trying hard to get Clementime to see he truly means it when he apologised and what a man, taking care of her when she had Braxton Hicks. So hope she can see through the mist and talk things out with him.

Trouble in Slade and Trinity's paradise, I had my heart in my mouth there for a while, Phew! They are still so young and immature, but growing u all the time.

I wish Carson would just get over himself and ask Skye to marry him, he always seems to have an excuse, and for someone who is supposed to love her with everything he has, he seems to be dragging his feet. - Man up!

Oh no Roland, put your big boy panties on and get on with it.

Asher, still so very insecure with how Lydia is going to behave, but I'm glad she finally accepted what he had been telling her all along, and that she does not have another hissy fit.

I think Roland is onto something whre Conrad & Lexie are concerned. I hope that they both realise their feelings for each other and that Conrad does move on and views relationships without a bitter heart.

Still love getting to hear from the parents, Sean is having a hard time, but Scarlet wont have any nonsense from Sean. Just love her spunk.

Okay Clementine is starting to annoy me in some ways. I mean yes Ward treated her badly and said some mean things but come on we all know she still loves him. The child should know their father and what she is doing is so wrong in so many ways. Don`t get me wrong I know she is trying to be independent and thinks she can do this on her own but you can`t deny the love is still there. Now we have a new character, Lexie, who in so many ways seems like a female version of Slade just into sex. I am thinking sure Conrad maybe just needs this but wonder how long will this go before he sees that what he needs is love. Ugh I am just waiting for the wedding between Slade and Trinity and everytime we think were close they fight making me wonder WHEN. E.L. Todd is sure teasing me with the suspense and wondering will Slade get his tigers lol. Through all this I am still trying to figure out who is after Sean and what is their story why now.

... passiert genau das. Eine Krise bei Slade und Trinity scheint das Ende für ihre Ehe zu sein.
Jeremy erpresst Clementine um sie zurück zu bekommen. Was wird sie tun um die aufkommende Katastrophe abzuwenden.
Nach dem Tod von Lydia versucht Arsen mit Abby und Silke in den Alltag zu finden.
Carson bekommt ein Jobangebot das er nicht ablehnen kann doch sie Bedingungen könnten zu Problemen mit Skye führen.
Conrad und Lexie sind immer noch aufgrund von Missverständnissen getrennt. Können sie diese überwinden oder finden Sie Trost bei ihren Ex-Partnern?
Es geht auf und ab bei unserer Clique und man fiebert und fühlt richtig mit. Kapitel für Kapitel geht es hoch her und man denkt sich ständig: „Oh wow!“ oder „Das kann doch nicht sein“ oder „Oh Nein!!!“
Ich war denen Tränen nahe bei einigen Paaren. Bei anderen habe ich mich mit ihnen gefreut. Es bleibt einfach immer spannend und man kann es nicht weglegen und muss weiter lesen. Ich kann die Fortsetzung kaum erwarten.

It's about time Cayson & Ward got along but it's driving me crazy that Clementine will not tell Ward about the baby. They belong together so hopefully everything will work out. Slade almost lost Trinity but with communicating, they worked out their problems. I really enjoy reading about all the characters and can't wait to read the next book to see what will happen next

I love how Ward is trying to help Clementine with her pregnancy i just wish she would tell him he's the father. Slade and Trinity I'm glad the put their fight under the bridge. Cayson warmed up to Ward and that was good now he just need to tell Clementine. I want to read more about Thomas and Theo I miss them.

Book 21 in this series. Well the couple I have been hoping to reconcile did not happen. Maybe in the next installment. There is so much immaturity, it is disconcerting. Although I am addicted, so on to the next. Good read
