The Thorpe Brothers #4
Su Amante Rebelde (La Serie de los Hermanos Thorpe nº 4)
Atraer a las mujeres hermosas nunca ha sido un problema para Xander Thorpe. Es alto, fuerte, inteligente y uno de los mejores abogados de divorcios del país, ¿qué más se puede pedir? Pero a pesar de la serie aparentemente interminable de bellas mujeres que tratan de conquistarlo, Xander está obsesionado por la encantadora y eficiente Abril, la gerente administrativa del estudio Thorpe. Aunque sus discusiones son cada vez más frecuentes y intensas.
Abril odia cada vez que alguna mujer hermosa atraviesa las puertas del Grupo Thorpe porque supone que la mujer es la última conquista de Xander. Abril se esfuerza por mantener una tregua en la oficina, pero Xander sabotea sus esfuerzos al mostrar sus conquistas en la oficina. En su mente, esta actitud es poco profesional e inapropiada. Otras personas pueden estar intimidadas por la autoridad de Xander, pero Abril no tiene miedo de enfrentarse a él.
Pero, ¿qué pasará cuando sus verdaderos sentimientos rompan las barreras que sus batallas en la oficina han creado?

The final book in The Thorpe Brothers series and I have to say,the best of the lot!
This was Xander and Autumn's story.It packed quite the punch and simply delivered a great story. The sexual tension between this couple was hot and Xander's love for Autumn was apparent from the beginning. I loved the end where the author wrote each couple's wedding story and enjoyed the epilogue with their growing families.Overall,I enjoyed this series very much.This author is fast becomming one of my favorites in contemporary romances.

One hot read.
Passion and love long denied explodes with just one kiss. Unable to resist each other Xander and Autumn start on a secret affair as she does not want to be apart of the office betting pool. Both are afraid to share their feelings which leads to some misunderstandings, that they quickly sort out.
Xander is one sexy muscle bound handsome hunk with charm a plenty who has been hiding a secret longing for a certain someone. Autumn is sweet and down to earth but considers herself to plain to attract Xander the hunk and secretly loves him for years.
These two are so passionate that sparks fly as they fight their desires which over the years has lead to some mighty fine showdowns. Which has in turn has lead Autumn to retail shoe shopping and picking up some hot sexy shoes that keep Xander on the edge of his seat.
The author does a wonderful job of making these two likeable and real. You really get a feeling for what they are thinking and feeling......and the chemistry between them is amazing!
This book is a hot fast read that at the end includes updates on the other three hot as hell Thorpe brothers.

Autumn had every reason to be irritated and offended by the endless parade of women...
Her boss was a consummate womanizer, and his 'dates' often showed up at his office unannounced. It was painful, watching as these women waltzed in like they had Xander wrapped around their manicured finger. It was getting so bad there was a betting pool on how long the latest would last...
She was seriously thinking she needed to leave and find another job. Being in love with Xander and seeing all of his sexual conquests was getting to be more than she could handle.
Xander struggled to be polite and charming as he escorted yet another grasping woman from his office. All they wanted was his money. What he WANTED, was Autumn. It was a continuing struggle to keep his hands to himself...
Two people secretly enamored with the other, hiding it for years... When was the inevitable explosion going to finally hit?

At long last Autumn and Xander get together. The story was good but the continuity from the previous stories awful, especially the parts that included Mia. Although the previous stories could probably be read on their own, this one really is dependent on reading the others. Now at the end of the series it comes more to mind that the brothers didn't know what was going on in each other's lives. They are close. To close for that to be believable.

3+ stars. Having read this series, I feel overall they were decent. Not too much of the hot and steamy and not too much of the bad guy gone good because he met her either. I feel that these were basic love story, not too outrageous and unbelievable stories. I only wish that the characters and the story line had more meat and substance to it. Just a bit more dynamics....something.

October 6, 2019Awesome end to a great series
I love this series and i lined reading about the relationship between Autumn and Xander through out the series. The fighting and bickering was fun and I love the extra chapters at the end telling the story of each couple's wedding as well as the epilogue that was 5 years in the future. I think my only problem with this book and the series is continuity. Some details change from book to book as well as time lines. Other than that I love this series and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys easy-to-read, HEA contemporary romance books.

Es ideal para una lectura rápida y fresca durante un reading slump (._./). No está mal peeero la traducción y su edición dejan mucho que desear: se repiten palabras todo el tiempo, frases desordenadas y demás que hacen que la lectura se ralentice.
Quiero leer los demás libros de esta saga de los hermanos Thorpe.
Si bien este es el cuarto libro, lo pude leer sin problemas...aunque me spoilee los finales de todas las historias, jajajaj. Pero no me pareció grave.

A fantastic finish
This is the 4th and final book in the series and it didn’t disappoint. I loved how the author wove the plot and characters together from the 1st book through to the last book. All the characters were very well written and developed. I loved the weddings and the epilogue.

I read this book years ago and as I re-read, the feeling of exciting was not as high as before.. The Thorpe Brothers are all magnificent though and this last book of the series end well with stories of all four weddings.

It was good. What was wonderful was the epilogue for all the brothers. Very happy about it. My favorite parts in this book were when Autumn throws shoes at Xander..and he ducks and also when she arrives to work next day in flats and all the brothers are in Xander’s office accusing him for the reason. Loved the funny bits.

A well-written short novel with wonderful characters, so funny and charming! Autumn's vivacity and Xander's mischievousness are a relishing combination that creates a fiery chemistry between them. Moreover, all 4 weddings of the Thorpe brothers was a lovely bonus!

This is a good story. No cheating. Epilogue to finish off loose ends for the series.

Once again not impressed sorry

I have been soooo looking forward to reading Autumn and Xander's book. I enjoy the hype in the previous books in this series. I love how you know these characters are upcoming. I enjoyed the character development between the two. Generally I dislike romances not taking place because of miscommunications and misunderstands or assumptions. This started out like that but within the first few pages you get Xander's POV and I love how Autumns misconceptions are put to halt for the reader (not the character) I don't like a story where one of the primary love interests comes off as a jerk or scummy. So this was a nice set up. These 2 are like a classic school yard crush. So anyway I really loved this book the only thing I did not like in the actual story was no one ever found out about Autumn & Xander's actually relationship. There was the all knowing they liked each other but that was it. I think that Ash & Mia's wedding should've been part of the story because no one knew Autumn & Xander were finally together and each couple asked if Autumn was wearing the same bridesmaids dress at the end of each of their stories so I just didn't get any of that. It was supposed to be a big deal for all of the characters not just Xander and Autumn. Either way the actual story I liked allot so I guess I can overlook this. Also as corny as the epilogue was I really really liked it.

Xander Thorpe, divorce lawyer, has been getting into shouting matches with Autumn Hallman, office manager for Thorpe Group,since she was promoted. When she worked as the receptionist, they would joke around, talk and have debates on various topics. Things changed when Xander saw her going out on a date and he no longer joked around with her.
Everytime a new lady appears in the office to meet Xander, the office employees take bets on Xander's latest fling and how long it will last. Autumn has to watch and hear about the latest bet and see these women walking through their doors and leaving with Xander. Although Xander and Autumn's office arguments are frequent but for Xander they are a cherished part of the day just see Autumn's temper.
Things change when Autumn stands up to a man at the deli who assaulted and elderly woman and then her....that's when Xander steps in to protect the woman that he cannot live without.
Xander and Autumn were my favorite characters with their fights and their passion. What will happen when they realize that they both have been carrying a torch for each other all these years?

Creo que desde el primer libro de esta serie que vengo esperando por este. En todos los libros anteriores tuvimos pequeños trocitos de información respecto a Xander y Autumn acerca de la hiper mega complicada relación que ambos tenían.
Me divertí mucho con sus discusiones... en momentos parecía que iban a terminar asesinandose para luego pasar a tener sexo desenfrenado jajaja XD
Y todo porque ambos eran demasiado cabeza dura con sus propios prejuicios!!!
Algo que me fascino??? Fue el enorme regalo de Xander!!!! QUiero un Xander jajaja XD
Probablemente si mi padre leyerá esto... diría: "no le veo la necesidad Sara Ester, ya tenes demasiados zapatos". Pero bue... nunca se tiene suficiente ;)

I get that Elizabeth Lennox didn't want to give out the ending of all books in first one but to me entire series suffered from that. For being so close Thorpe brothers are secretive as heck.
January 3, 2016
Esta historia la esperaba desde el primer libro Abril y Xander, aparentemente como perros y gatos, pero detrás algo muy diferente. Me encantó que la autora supiera mezclar las historias de cada hermano, y que se mezclaran al final, así fuera en distintos libros...es una historia full romance, y al final nos muestra un poquito de cada pareja...El epilogo fue hermoso, recomendable a almas romanticonas como yo <3
June 25, 2016
Y al final llegamos al que quería saltar cuando leí/imaginé su historia. Dos que viven discutiendo, sacándose de quicio. Sus amigos/hermanos piensan que están enamorados, pero ellos se niegan a ver más allá. Cuando llegué a la parte del porqué no lo hacían, casi revoleé todo. ¿Realmente se puede ser tan tonto? Sí, acá tenemos un claro ejemplo.... clic aquí para seguir leyendo el derrape

January 17, 2014
What a great read. Really enjoyed the whole series but this was my fav out of the four books as it showed just like in real life miscommunication can lead to misunderstandings. Fab read and liked way it all ended
April 2, 2014
I loved this book. Can't get enough of the Thorpe brothers. I loved the follow-up with each couple at the end of the book. I just hate that we've ran out of Thorpe brothers to read about. I want MORE!
