First comes love Then comes marriage Now? The baby carriage
Garrett and Hannah Thompson have a lot going on. They have a baby on the way, Garrett’s on tour, and Hannah’s enjoying being a wife and a soon-to-be mother.
But with them nothing is ever easy. Paparazzi still want the inside scoop, Jared and Shell still have issues, and there’s her pesky record company that they have to deal with.
Luckily for them, all that’s ever mattered is that they love each other. The other stuff is always secondary—except when it isn’t, and it’s thrust to the forefront of their lives.
Life is never easy, especially for those who live it in the public eye. Sometimes they have to take a step back, take a deep breath, and let it all come full circle.
I have been lucky enough to get to read "Full Circle" early and I could not put it down!! Reaper and Harmony work so hard together to make sure that their marriage stays strong with everything being famous throws their way. In the end we get to see how all of their hard work comes full circle to their happy ever after! I think everyone will be happy with the ending and will impatiently be waiting for Jared and Shell's book in the fall!
Author Laramie Briscoe wraps up the Rockin’ Country saga of Reaper (Garrett) and Harmony (Hannah) in Full Circle. We’ve seen these two characters meet, have a whirlwind courtship, fall in love, marry, and what comes after marriage? Yes, life is really changing for these two and with is comes fears, tears, and a whole lot of love.
I have really loved watching these two not only grow up as individuals but watching their relationship mature as these books have gone along. It hasn’t been easy, their careers and their pasts put them in the public eye and as much as they try to control the media machine sometimes they just can’t. I do love that their communication skills have gotten better as time has gone on, that the love between them has grown, and their trust in each other is absolute.
Touring is always interesting for a band and when Hannah accompanies Black Friday on their tour while taking time off from her own career she gets to know Garrett’s band mates a whole lot better. I love how she made time to do things with each of them and how they were there to protect her and keep her safe along with Garrett. I love how accepting they were of her into their group and how she made sure to include them especially in a decision that would affect them all.
We were treated to glimpses of the struggle Shel has in her relationship with Jared and a teeny bit into Stacey’s (Garrett’s sister) relationship with his band mate Brad and thankfully we’ll see more in books to come. There were a few harrowing moments in this book; both took their toll on Garrett and Hannah but might also impact the future of the band.
I really enjoyed the intimate scenes between Garrett and Hannah as it shows how comfortable they’ve become with one another, how much they trust each other and more than that that their love is stronger than ever.
While this is the “last chapter” in Garrett and Hannah’s story, I’m sure we’ll see snippets of them in the books to come and that makes me happy as I can’t wait to see how they deal with recording, touring, and their new bundle of joy!
I've been a fan of Ms. Briscoe's Rockin' Country series since I picked up the first book. By most accounts, sweet Southern songbird, Hannah "Harmony" Stewart should have nothing I common with Garrett " Reaper" Thompson. His band, Black Friday is edgy and far removed from the kind of songs she sings. But they make it work- together. They have fought, and clawed their way from day one to be together and the two are married and going to have a baby.
Full Circle does an interesting take on the year the story follows. The book begins at an all day music fest that Black Friday is playing. It's here Garrett announces Hannah's pregnancy. But then we are taken back a year to all the events that led up to this point and a little beyond it. It's a unique spin.
Hannah and Garrett's relationship is rock solid. This book has some mild angst, mostly having to do with Hannah's health, but most of the angst comes from Jared (Garrett's band mates who has battled substance abuse) and Shel (Hannah's best friend) Hannah and Garrett are more interested in keeping her pregnancy out of the press. Ever since their marriage, they have been hounded by the paparazzi hell bent on getting any kind of story on them.
Full Circle has a few steamy, sexy scenes, especially those involving Garrett's more dominant personality. Seems he has been keeping some of his more primal instincts hidden from Hannah. But he lets her see them in this book!
Just like the rest of the series, Full Circle delivers. This couple has the HEA that they had to fight to get and they aren't about to lose it. The next installment is about Jared and Shel and I know the angst over Jared's poor choices is going to be off the charts!
I love Reaper & Harmony! This book just completely made my day reading it! Reaper is such a good husband and I can't wait to see him grow as a dad! Harmony has truly blossomed since the beginning of this series. I feel like we have watched her grow throughout reading this series. I love how she has such a big heart for everyone, but at the same time she is fiercely loyal to her family. Loved meeting the new baby, And can't wait to see where you take Harmony and Reaper next.
I am super excited to see what happens with Train and Shell! The last scene has me on the edge of my seat waiting for their book! I loved getting to know them better in this book!
Laramie Briscoe thank you for yet another great book! You are awesome and I can't wait to see what you have in store next for us!
Not awful but nowhere near as good as the first two. There just didn't seem to be any real plot or at least not enough of a story to warrant another book. I will read the last book in this series though and hope for the best.
I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! I have read EVERY book by the AMAZING Ms. Briscoe and before I stumbled across this series I thought Trick and ALL the guys from the MTF were my favorite BBF'S but now I have to say that Reaper is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!!! Reaper and Harmony's story was so beautifully written!! It was realistic about the price of being famous and that they're still human beings who have the same struggles, desires and feelings like the rest of us. I would definitely recommend this book and series!! Anything by Ms. Briscoe is a MUST READ❤❤❤
This instalment of Hannah and Garret follows their married life and getting to know each other after their hasty put together wedding and Hannah on her last tour before they put roots down and start a family.Shell has to come to terms that Jared can't stay on the path to love her while he is lured back into drugs.Garret saves his life but is it enough to bring him back to the family who love him.Hannah and Garret welcome their son on Christmas day.heart felt story .
Reaper just keeps bringing me to my knees! This man has changed so much and they say he just tells it like it is omg I love every minute of it. These two are going to be great parents. My heart hurt for Shell and Jared. I know these two are ment to be together. I just hope he can overcome his demons by opening up to her and I hope she strong enough for them both. Now its time to move on to their story.
Hannah and Garrett want to start a family so this book takes you through to the birth of their son. They have matured and grown since the first two books and we get to experience it all with them. We also get more of Jared and Shell in this book.
This is the 3rd book in the series and I enjoyed it more than the 2nd one. Hannah becomes pregnant and the story goes through some of the obstacles which I could relate to. I think the 1st book was still my favorite with all the flirting and getting to know you stage. But I did enjoy the glimpse into Jared and Shell’s relationship, and I can’t wait for their book!
Really just cannot stop reading these books in this series. The storyline just flows, the characters start to feel real and you start to feel their emotions. And am loving the new addition EJ just fantastic. Seriously readers check this series out!! Thanks Jamie Nibarger Ellis
I was lucky enough to receive a free copy of this book before release day to review. This entry in the Harmony/Reaper saga starts with a bonus prologue that takes place as they spend their first Christmas together as a married couple. It was sweet and as they exchanged their gifts, it gave us just more of a glimpse into their rock/country marriage and just how devoted they really are to each other. This book is primarily about their desire to start a family and being on the road together, learning more and more about how each other "works" and cementing their relationship before they take the plunge at parenthood. Also along for this ride we get more about Shell and Jared and their rocky road to happiness which will be severely tested as Jared flip flops from being in love with Shell to letting outside forces put a huge wedge between them and making for a dangerous outcome. The road to being a family won't be easy for Harmony either, as she deals with some heavy health issues that cause the press to go crazy and wonder if she has relapsed. It is a touch and go situation for these two young lovers as real life gets in the way of the fantasy of being on tour and starting a family at the same time, but you just know if anyone can overcome the obstacles..it is these two. This was a very different series for Laramie Briscoe and nothing like her biker books (which I am a huge fan of) although she does try to add more spice into Harmony and Reaper's sex life by introducing some new "play" that they have not done before but that might be more fitting for the rockstar lifestyle that Reaper is used to. It was romantic and tender enough to appeal to readers of "light" romance novels but with a little bit of an edge to appeal to those who like a grittier story. Coming up next will be Shell and Jared's book because their story ends with a bit of a shock and is left hanging. Stay tuned!

Full Circle (Rockin’ Country #3) By: Laramie Briscoe 4/5 stars
This is the final part of Garrett & Hannah’s story. They are married and have made the best of their situation of being located in California and Tennessee. Hannah had also already decided to take at least a year off from her grueling schedule, seeing as she has been going non-stop for six years. She also took the time so she could spend it with her husband, while his band finished recording their new record and then going on a world tour.
Hannah had some disagreements with Shell, her best friend and manager, mostly about the time being taken off and how much time she was spending with her husband, instead of her career. But they get things ironed out and Shell is happy to try something new and just for herself, for the first time in her adult life.
Other than some issues with the paparazzi, life is going pretty well for the newlyweds. They are enjoying their time on the road together. Some nights they perform their song together and of course they both upload photos to their Instagram social media accounts.
Jared & Shell have a little bit bigger parts in this book and we see more behind both of them. We see some of the bad and some of the good and a lot of the apprehension. But things are somewhat up in the air for them. They will be getting their own book. Though those probably will be something that I will skip, as these books were all good, but not stand out enough that I want to continue on with the series.
I have to say that this is a favorite series of mine. I really enjoy reading everything that Laramie Briscoe writes. I have enjoyed all of the Heaven Hill series, the Red Bird Trail trilogy, and the Rockin' Country series. She is an author that you know when you click on one of her books you are going to get an awesome story. The Hero is a strong Alpha male that protects the woman he loves and doesn't stray away once he finds that one for him. The Heroin is independent, strong and takes no crap from anyone. The authors writing style is easy to read and there aren't spelling issues every other word. Rest assured you won't be disappointed in reading anything she writes. Her stories draws you in and you can't put the book down until you are finished. I started this book at 2 a.m. and finished it at 5:45 a.m. So........ We've come to the end of Reaper and Harmony's story and what a great ride it has been. Throughout each book you saw the love they had for each other. What they would do to make sure their relationship was a priority and not let anyone cause them any trouble. We also get a glimpse as to what is happening in Jared and Shell's relationship. Trouble is ahead for them and Jared is going to have to prove himself to win her back.
I am lucky enough to have read this already. Laramie has done it again. I am definitely a Reaper's girl. I love that she wrote a story like this, Hannah is pregnant and Garrett is a worried father to be! I think the story itself just solidified my love of Reaper. This is my favorite of the books so far because it did delve more into the lives of other characters and I cannot wait for those stories to be told either. Remember to read the rest of this series and anything else Laramie puts out. She's a talented writer and I feel blessed to have gotten a chance to read it.
This series just gets more awesome! I love Reaper and Harmony! Reaper and Harmony's love just keeps getting stronger! They are facing a new chapter in their life and with this comes the obstacles that are constantly being thrown in their way! Together they can overcome any obstacle! Their love for each other holds them together and it just makes you sigh! Fabulous read and I absolutely love this series!
An ARC was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review!
This is another great book in this series. It follows Reaper and Harmony and their life together. I love these characters, and the writing in this series. With the first 4 books all focused on the same story line, I did find that my attention wandered a bit. Each of the books is great, but I want to get into the stories of the other guys in Black Friday. I want to know more about Jared and Shell! Free copy given in exchange for an honest review. This book took me 4 hours to read. I recommend it if you enjoy: Michelle A. Valentine, Jess Dee or London Casey.
Full Circle is the third full length novel in the Rockin' Country series by Laramie Briscoe. I am a huge fan of this author and her style of writing. This storyline was spot on with depth and emotion. I am loving that we have watched this couple grow up and become parents through out this series. Garrett & Hannah have a once in a lifetime kind of love and a truly beautiful story. Looking forward to starting the next book in this series and I would highly recommend any book by Laramie!!!
I didn't really enjoy this like I did with the first two books.. I guess it was lacking drama/angst/controversy which was so very much present in the other two.. this book basically just centered on the tour of Black Friday, their song and Jared and Shell.. even Harmony's pregnancy was put on the backburner and only surfaced towards the end.. i felt like this book was written just for the sake of throwing it out there.. I was expecting so much more with this book..
This was a great book to read. I really enjoyed it. I was excited that Hannah and Garrett were going to have a baby. They were very happy. Well now Michelle and Jared have hit a road block. I'm looking forward to there story. I recommend this book to all romance readers. Great book.
Wow so much happened in this book. At times felt like every time you looked up something was happening. So happy for Reaper and Hannah. But so bummed about Shell and Jared. Can't wait to read more of this series. I recommend this book and the Author of it. You need to read these books in order or you will be lost.
I love Reaper & Harmony! They're one of my all time fave couples. This story was truly a full circle for them. It felt like I was looking in on someone's life. Can't wait for Shell and Jared! That one may make me cry!
I love all thing country and rock so that made me love this series even more. Garrett and Harmony finally came full circle and got the life they deserve. Laramie you did an awesome job on ending their story and getting us all geared up for Shell and Jared.
