I received this book from the authors in exchange for an honest review.

These two authors come together to bring a wonderful love story with two sexy brothers.
Hudson and Kennedy are hilarious to get to know because they are the total opposite but blend well together. Liam and Chelsea have to get past the pain of their break-up 14 years earlier. They are tricked into a weekend at the Maddox cabin alone together and finally admit that they are still in love and get back together.

Great stories from both authors! I hope that they get together again and do another book!!

Hudson

I really loved both of these books that were featured in this story but my vote would go to Hudson as being the most driven and meticulous of two brothers. When he meets Kennedy who has bought a run down house and hopes to flip it for a profit, the sparks literally fly. This is Kennedy's last chance to renovate and prove to her dad that she can make a profit on the house, as he's told her that the funds are drying up. When Hudson stops by and meets her for the first time, he doesn't know what to think of the instant attraction as she is completely opposite of what he usually seeks in a woman.

When Hudson does just one more Bachelor Auction, Kennedy decides to be the top bidder even though she is using money from her funds for the house. That one "date" goes from zero to extremely hot in less than 60 seconds, as they realize that their attraction is leading to love. Hudson decides that if he doesn't step in and offer his brother's construction companies help, she will have to decide if Hudson is trying to sabotage her in making this project turn a profit. This is the first time I've read Lacey Wolfe's books and it definitely won't be the last.

Liam:

When Hudson secretly sells a house to Liam's ex-girlfriend,Chelsea without letting Liam know that she has returned home. Chelsea decides to bend under the pressure from her parents and tells Liam that she doesn't want to get married when they graduate. Liam is heartbroken and then spends alot of time not becoming attached to another woman. His construction company has become well known and profitable in his hometown of Morgan.

Chelsea has just bought the newspaper and wants to prove to her parents that it the paper will succeed. The house that she buys needs extensive remodeling but what she doesn't know is that Hudson is sending over his brother to bid on the project. Liam realizes that his love with Chelsea hasn't died but only burns hotter than a out of control wildfire.

When both Hudson and Kennedy see that Liam and Chelsea are attracted to each other, they come up with a plan to lure both of them to the Maddox cabin in the mountains for a long week-end. Once the two lovebirds realize that they have been set up, they spend much of the weekend in bed and acting on their fantasies. When Chelsea's mother finds out that she is back together with Liam, she decides to go with her heart this time and tell Liam that she loves him and won't ever let him go again. Liam decides to convince Chelsea that she's the one who will always have his love and heart.

Amazing read, I loved how Ella Jade and Lacey Wolfe combined both stories of each brother. The flow between the brothers in this book was flawless.

Hudson and Liam are brothers who are still playing the field. Hudson hasn't the right girl yet and Liam lost his girl in high school when she left him. The first half of the book is regarding Hudson written by Ella Jade.

Hudson is a well know real estate agent and has sold a home to be flipped to Kennedy, but doesn't know that Kennedy is a woman. When he meets Kennedy sparks fly and he starts inform her that she needs help to do the job as she is losing time and money on the property. This doesn't sit well with Kennedy and she decides to one up him by bidding at the Bachelor Auction. However Kennedy becomes jealous when other women want him and puts everything she has to win the bid.

Now that she has him, should she listen to him or disregard all of his unwanted advice?

Ella writes with such passion and this shows through her characters. The reader is treated to so very hot passionate scenes with two strong characters.

Liam's story is the second half of the book written by Lacey Wolfe.

Liam is still bitter about his high school sweetheart - Chelsea leaving him after high school. However, Hudson sells a house to Chelsea, which is only a few doors down from Liam home, as she has returned home to run the local newspaper. Liam owns a construction firm and Chelsea must shallow her pride to ask his company to renovate her home.

The first time they meet at her home, passion takes over Liam and he forbids Chelsea to date another man. This doesn't set well with Chelsea so she goes on a date with William despite what Liam said. The sexual tension between gets so bad, that Chelsea goes to Liam and wants a one night stand. Does this relationship continue after this night or is it enough to get the tension out of their systems?

Lacey is another author who writes excellent hot passionate scenes with strong characters.

Ella and Lacey have written a wonderful romantic love story regarding the Maddox brothers finding their matches. Each have their own writing style and have blended together to create an amazing book.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves romance with hot, sexy and passionate scenes.

*I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review*

From start to finish, both Hudson and Liam had my heart. What could be better than two sexy, domineering men who get leveled by two strong, beautiful, and independent women. Lacey Wolfe and Ella Jade created fascinating, realistic characters and a unique, funny, and provocative story. I loved watching the sparks fly between Hudson and Kennedy who are polar opposites but are each other’s missing puzzle piece. My heart hurt for Liam and Chelsea’s heart sick past and was anxious to see them get their happy ever after.

Hudson is gorgeous, ambitious, charismatic, and considered to be the most eligible bachelor. He plans every minute detail about his life… that is until the beautiful, spirited, tool belt wearing Kennedy stumbles into his life. Kennedy is carefree and easy going, and is trying to her get a foothold unsuccessfully in the house flipping business. When Hudson waltzes in with his real estate knowledge and his domineering ways, Kennedy is not having any of it. The verbal sparring kept me entertained and enthralled. The steamy scenes were so hot and watching them fall in love left my heart in a puddle on the floor.

After meeting Liam during Hudson’s story, I wanted to learn more about this heartbroken, muscled, contractor. I have to say out of the two, Liam is my favorite. His love for Chelsea shined through whether he was remodeling her house, staking his claim in front of others, or being commanding in bed. My heart went out to Chelsea as well, she was just as hurt by their past as Liam and was desperately trying to pick up the pieces and put herself back together after losing the love of her life. Their story was endearing and passion filled no matter where they were and what they were doing, you could feel the love and sizzle between them.

The Maddox Brothers will make you fall in love with them and the women who steal their hearts. This was a fun, entertaining, off the charts steamy read. I highly recommend for a romance that will sweep you off your feet, melt your heart and maybe your clothing too.

This has to be one of my favorite “co-author” books. I love how Ella Jade wrote Hudson’s point of view, and then Lacey Wolfe wrote Liam’s. The way it’s written will have you hooked from page one and you won’t want to stop reading!
Hudson is a successful real estate agent as well as an attorney, and he also happens to be the most eligible bachelor of the town – and no one will let him forget it. Hudson is perfectly happy being a bachelor and at first doesn’t mind the attention it’s drawing him. That is until he meets Kennedy. Kennedy’s father is helping her get started with a house flipping business but after the last 2 houses ended up drawing losses he reaches out to Hudson to help his daughter. Kennedy doesn’t like Hudson intruding on her flip but at the same time loves it. Kennedy and Hudson are the perfect balance to one another and the sparks fly from their very first meet.
Liam has his own successful construction business that keeps him busy 24/7. He doesn’t have time for a relationship after his high school sweetheart from years prior dumped him. Liam has been a playboy ever since – until his high school sweetheart, Chelsea comes back to town. Chelsea has just purchased a new home in the town she grew up in, using Hudson as her real estate agent. The home she’s purchased needs construction and to Chelsea’s dismay she’s going to have to turn to Liam for the renovations. Liam isn’t happy that Chelsea’s back but once they see each other again they realize the love is still there. The only problem – neither of them is willing to admit it out loud.
This was a fantastic read – Lacey Wolfe has always been one of my favorite authors and this is my first Ella Jade book – definitely going to have to check out more of her work. I highly recommend you check out this read!

The Maddox Brothers by Lacey Wolfe & Ella Jade
Hudson and Liam Maddox are 2 very successful single brothers. Hudson is an attorney doing real estate law and Liam is an owner of a construction company. Neither one is looking for ladies who will turn their single status into attached, married men. But then Kennedy and Chelsea enter their lives.
Hudson
Hudson has been established his career and building on being the best attorney for real estate in the town. He was called on by Kennedy to help with a problem on one of the houses she was flipping. He helped her with the issue and he became her colliding factor of life. Her father would never stand up to her like Hudson has. Hudson’s mother was a charity organizer and she ran a bachelor auction and Hudson always drew the most bids. You will never guess who bids on him and for how much.
Liam
Content with his life and having built his own construction company and has an impeccable reputation for his work and for his price and completion in a timely fashioned. His heart was once broken by his high school sweetheart and when she comes back in his life, totally turning it topsy-turvy. His brother Hudson helps Chelsea obtain the property, recommends Liam’s construction company and fails to tell Liam that he helped her. Turns out it is just down for Liam’s own home. They can either fight & disagree for life or they can come to terms with that they are meant for each other. You will have to read to determine which it is.
Lacey Wolfe and Ella Jade are great authors who collaborated on the Maddox brother story and did an awesome job. You won’t be sorry you read it.

If you are a fan of HGTV's Property Brothers, then you need to check out this much sexier fictitious version of them. Hudson & Liam Maddox will melt your panties!

Hudson is Boston's most eligible bachelor, he is successful & sexy and has no plans to settle down anytime soon. Then his life is turned upside down by the charismatic Kennedy. Kennedy has one more chance to succeed at flipping houses, she is awesome with the end results but getting to the end is the problem. In walks the hottest and most infuriating man she has ever met. Can they work together in both their business & personal lives?

Liam lost the love of his life a long time ago and since then has been determined to live life carefree and not tied down to any relationship and then Chelsea walks right back into his life and into his heart. Chelsea moves back to her hometown and does her best to ignore Liam, but that is nearly impossible to do when he is in her house almost everyday.

This book was a fun, sexy, engrossing read! Fantastic stories by a couple of fabulous Authors! You will never watch a DIY show the same way again!

Hudson- 5

I liked the premise of the book and the author delivered on giving the reader a sweet read. I was immediately drawn into this book and had a hard time setting it down .
Hudson and Kennedy had an immediate connection. I liked Hudson's bossy personality and Kennedy's headstrong determination.
Often times the author refers this couple as having ying/yang personalities. They were different but complimentary. The pair was also pretty hot together. The author does a good job with their passion. I was wrapped in their story and sad to see it end.

Liam- 3

I was happy that Liam had his own story in this second chance romance. Unfortunately, this story didn't work for me. I didn't feel a romantic connection between Liam and Chelsea. At times their romance seemed forced. I could feel his pain and anger though. I'm as confused as Liam as to why she broke up as teens.
I'm also not sure why her parents have such a strong hold on a 30 year old women.

*** ARC on behalf of the author for an honest review ***

omg I was blown away. when I was asked to read this book the Blurb was a no brainer I'd be crazy not to read it.
we have to sexy brothers Hudson and Liam Maddux and they both have always gotten what they want especially when it comes to women.
When Kennedy and Hudson meet is obvious there is chemistry but Kennedy is strong minded and sassy mouth but those are the traits that Hudson loves the most, they are complete opposites but they complete each other.
Liam and Chelsea were high school sweet heart , Liam wanted a future and she felt like they were to young but her she is years later and things between them are still just as explosive. will they have thier second chance? I just loved this book and could go on reading more on these two couples. this was a great book I loved how both stories entwine with each other but you knew who was the main characters, definitely a must read. 5 plus stars easy.

I was given the opportunity to read The Maddox Brothers in exchange for an honest review. It was a pleasureful experience. Hot blooded males meet their matches when confronted with women who know what they want and have their own ideas how to get it.
The Maddox Brothers mixes sensuality with control and stormy personalities. Ella Jade and Lacey Wolfe created characters that are hard to look away from and not easy to let go of. With Hudson, Kennedy blows into his life leaving him questioning everything he found important and leaves the hunter feeling hunted. Liam has to decide if his heart can take the blow when Chelsea walks back into his life. Who will be tamed in this battle of hearts?

Hudson:
This one was my fave, I loved how he was so in control until Kennedy came into his life. And how out of control Kennedy's life was until Hudson came into hers. They are the perfect yin and yang.

Liam:
This was a cute, and funny 2nd chance romance. When Mr. Hit it and Quit it comes face to face with the one woman who he can't quit.

Both of these books was great , it was funny, sweet, sexy and down right great and easy read.

This is the story of two successful and gorgeous brothers, the Mattox brothers. Hudson is a well like attorney with a successful real estate business. He has just been voted the most eligible bachelor in town. He has a sterling reputation in business and has no interest in getting serious with any woman until Kennedy invades his life.

The other brother Liam has a successful construction business that he built from scratch. He too likes his single life but that changes when he reconnects with his old flame, Chelsea. Like his brother he is a well thought of honest businessman
.
This duo are so much fun to read about even though they are so different. A great romance with one being a second chance. I really enjoyed this book and recommend it highly. Well written with great characters and a strong storyline.

The Maddox brothers, Hudson and Liam, were very eligible bachelors. Hudson meets Kennedy when she is trying to flip a house and he is the realtor. These two bicker and they can't stay away from each other. Such a cute story! Liam meets his old girlfriend, Chelsea after 14 years apart. Chelsea moves back to town and Hudson and Kennedy try to get them together. Another cute story!

I received this book for a honest review

First off what could be better than having two books in one? I'll tell you what, a book about brothers where you don't have to wait for the second brother!! That's right, this book is one part Hudon Maddox written by Ella Jade and a second part Liam Maddox written by Lacey Wolfe.
Hudson Maddox is the older of the two and is a realtor and real estate lawyer. His company is one of the best in Boston and he is consider the most eligible bachelor in the city. Kennedy Harper is a house flipper who has been given one last chance by her father to prove she can flip a house and earn a profit or he will not continue to help her.
These two butt heads when Kennedy's father has Hudson trying to keep her on schedule and budget. She wants to take her time and let the house speak to her and Hudson is all about getting it done so that he can resale for a nice proft. Kennedy is nothing like the smooth and polished women that has attracted him in the past but there's something that keeps him thinking about her when she isn't around and lighting up when she is.
Kennedy is like a daisy in a rose bouquet, she stands out because she's sweet and different and Just what Hudson needs to keep him on his toes .
I love that this is a romance novel that is sweet and light. Don't get me wrong Hudson and Kennedy go at it, but it's not a raw sexual book and sometimes that's the kind of book you need.
The second part of the book is about Liam Maddox, the younger of the two brothers. He's just as yummy and has a contruction company. He has spent the last 14 years building his company and getting over a broken heart. When the girl who broke his heart moves back to town and is need of his company his anger comes bubbling up. Chelsea Sampson is a strong woman who runs the newspaper. In the years that she's been gone she has gotten on with her life but really has never gotten over Liam.
I have to side with Chelsea a little bit here. Yes, she hurt Liam but it's hard to tell the man who holds you heart that you're not ready to get married and start a family. They needed those 14 years to grow up, just out of high school is a scary time to get married no matter how strong the love is.
Liam helps with the renovations on Chelsea's house and spending time around her he discovers his feelings that he had are still there and just grow stronger just being around her again.
When old flames get back together it makes me happy because if the love is strong no matter what happens in the years apart they will find their way back to each other, even if it's in the afterlife.
This was a great two in one that left me smiling when I thought about the Maddox Brother's.

Two brothers two romances all in one book.

Hudson a realtor known for his suit and tie and very organized life meets Kennedy who is exactly the opposite can they find love?
Hudson and Kennedy make for a match that did not start out as expected. They first meet when Kennedy moves into town and buys a house wanting to flip it – it needs some repairs and upgrades before this can be done. Hudson stops by to meet the new neighbor and offer his opinions of what needs to be done. Hudson is confused by his instant attraction to Kennedy as she is not the type of woman he is normally attracted to. But they do say opposites attract and boy do they. Hudson is well known in town as the most eligible bachelor and participates in an auction every year for charity at his mother's urging. Kennedy decides to attend the auction and dresses to the max for it. She only plans to attend hoping to make some new friends in town but ends up getting caught up in the bidding and finds herself the highest bidder for a date with Hudson. Hudson is use to being in control but with Kennedy he finds that she is a very stubborn and strong woman who knows what she wants and goes after it. They experience several ups and downs in their relationship leaving you wondering if they will find their HEA with each other or not.

The second Maddox brother “Liam” is hands-on with the renovation and construction side of the business. He likes to be in the thick of it and get his hands dirty. He rarely is seen in a suit and tie and can be found working right along side his employees. He had one true love when he was in high school and planned to marry her and start a family but she left him for college. He has been bitter about that every since and does not do long term relationships or relationships at all. But Chelsea moves back to town seeking out Hudson's help to find a house to buy. She purchases a home that needs repairs and Hudson recommends his brother Liam's company as the best in the business to make the needed repairs and improvements. When Liam and Chelsea meet for the first time in over 14 years there are a lot of memories good and bad floating around. Liam is still bitter about how she left him 14 years earlier and it is only through time spent remodeling that they begin to reconnect and then an unexpected weekend at the Maddox cabin alone (they were setup) do they truly find that they still have strong feelings for each. But can they over come the past and find their HEA?

I received an eARC of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Two brothers and the twists and turns they face in the journey to their HEA!

Hudson Maddox is controlled, focused and charming owner of a real estate company. Kennedy is the laid back, impulsive care free woman who is only now finding her foothold in the real estate industry. They are both the opposites of each other and thus, their attraction is something they both can’t understand.
It is easy to like Hudson – he is logical, methodological and intelligent. It wasn’t easy to like Kennedy – she was exactly what she was portrayed as – Daddy’s spoiled little princess, who doesn’t appreciate any advice given to her, even if she knows that the advice is sound, because she is hell bent upon proving herself to be competent – she just forgets that the path to success is not only littered with failures but also paved with humble attitude.
Thus, I never really understood their relationship – it, to me felt forced and the so called chemistry was unexplainable.
Therefore, the 2 star rating – only for Hudson Maddox!

Liam Maddox is a man-ho. No other words for it, no other explanation for it! He plays the field and after his brother, is the most eligible bachelor in town. The fact that he has his own construction business and that he works with his hands only makes him all the more appealing ;)
The reason why he is a man-ho? Chelsea, his high school sweetheart; The one who broke his heart and walked away. Chelsea has now come back to town, for good. She doesn’t really want to run into the boy whose heart she broke, but she really has no choice.
Now Liam’s book is one that I really liked – there is angst, there is explosive chemistry, and boy is there some unexplained circumstances. I really loved Liam and Chelsea together – they actually grew up during the years they broke up – and that maturity can be seen in the way they communicate with each other and it is brilliant!

Hence, the 4 star rating :D

I liked Liam Maddox’s story much more than I liked Hudson’s! But since I absolutely loved both the brothers – giving the book on the whole a 3.5 star rating :D

I received an ARC for my honest review.

This two part romance features brothers Hudson Maddox and Liam Maddox. One is a real estate attorney and the other is the owner of a contracting business. Both are handsome, successful and definitely ladies men.

Hudson's story is first. He is hired to help house flipper Kennedy Harper with her recent purchase. She's inexperienced, stubborn and gives Hudson grief at every turn. This is why he can't stop thinking about her. Once they give in to their attraction, the fun just begins. With Liam, his high school sweetheart Chelsea Samson is back in town and he can't stay away. When she hires his company to help her remodel her home, he takes it upon himself to oversee the project. Knowing the heartbreak she caused all those years ago, you'd think he would have no trouble staying away. These two men have finally met their match and it's fun watching the stories unfold.

The first story, I loved Hudson. He was charming, self-assured, but not in an arrogant way. He truly tries to help Kennedy as she clearly doesn't know the ins and outs of the flipping business. I know more about it than this girl did and that's just from watching "Flip or Flop". But that's not the irritating part. Kennedy balks at sound advice, so it's a wonder she is even able to be on her fourth house. Hudson deserves a medal for sticking it out with her. There were a few little twists that I thought irrelevant to the story, but overall it was a good read.

Liam's is a better story with his old love returning. I love watching renewed romances with former loves. Chelsea and Liam fight against it for a while, but true love never dies, and watching them fight it out is worth reading. Both characters were endearing,true to their feelings and none of the cliched misunderstandings or lame fights to throw them away from each other. I enjoyed the Epilogue with both Hudson and Liam's endings. All in all, a fun, quick read.

What a fun 2 book set all rolled into 1. I love this idea from Lacey Wolfe and Ella Jade. Jump in and meet the Maddox brothers – Hudson and Liam – you won’t be disappointed.
Hudson by Ella Jade: Hudson, sigh, is that sexy in a suit, controlling, confident businessman specializing in real estate but also an attorney. When he helps a friend with a property, he finds himself face to face with Kennedy, the most frustrating woman he’s ever met but doesn’t want to let go. Kennedy is struggling to find her place in the world so with her father’s help she tries flipping houses which puts her directly in Hudson’s path, the most frustrating, irritating and captivating man she’s ever met. Can these two opposites find a way to co-exist? Jump in for a fun, sexy ride as Hudson and Kennedy push each other’s buttons.

Liam by Lacey Wolfe: Liam met the love of his life in high school but she left and he’s never recovered. He runs a very successful construction company that gets referrals from his brother Hudson. Chelsea is torn about moving back to town, not sure if she can handle seeing Liam. She knows she broke his heart when she left after high school but she never stopped loving him. Hudson helps her find a new home but of course, the best renovation company is owned by Liam. As Liam and Chelsea are forced to work together to get her house updated they try to be friends. But really, these two never stopped loving each other so what will it take for them to rekindle that flame? Liam is very hard headed and didn’t give in easily. Chelsea is a strong confident career woman that had to find herself away from her parents (who are just, well, very overbearing) which really allows her to know what she wants. It’s a fun ride as Hudson and Kennedy do some plotting to get these two together.

Hudson Maddox real estate extraordinaire is doing a favor for his brother Liam. Getting the water turned on for a house Kennedy Harper is flipping. Hudson has done work for her father Hank and had just assumed Kennedy was a male. Heading to the house to let her know he is taking care of the problem. Kennedy is mothing like Maddox thought. Striking sparks off each other and not always good ones. Maddox has a problem with Kennedy's smart mouth and Kennedy has a big problem with Hudson's overbearing ways. Yet they can't stay away from one another.

Liam Maddox was in in love with Chelsea Sampson through high school until the day she said they were to young to marry and took off, never to look back. Now years later she is back in town and bought a house down the street from Liam. Needing renovation work, Liam's company is the last choice she wants to make. But the best and she knows she has to suck it up. Liam can do this. Work on Chelsea's house and not get involved again. She is in the past. HE has since moved on. Yet as they are thrown together again and again it is obvious something is still between them.

Two of my must read authors in one book. Life can't get much better. Neither brother is looking to give up being single. They both love playing the field. Kennedy isn't even Hudson's type. She is more a t-shirt, work boots kind of women. Kennedy isn't looking for a man, much less an ocd sexy hot millionaire. Love these characters. Kennedy is feisty, independent and knows what she wants. Liam is determined never to get his heart broke again. He just needs to get Chelsea out of his system once and for all. Chelsea knows she gave up the love of her life when she left all those years ago. Is this a second chance or is it just closure. I received an arc of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed reading the two stories featuring Hudson and Liam Maddox finding love. Both of them have been focusing on work and just having little flings for years. They are both very successful and enjoying that lifestyle until they find that special someone.

Hudson and Kennedy are yin and yang. She is one to go with her gut and take risks with her work. He thinks through things and tries to maximize profits. When her father suggests she get help from Hudson, she is not very happy. Hudson realizes quickly that he has finally met the woman who can keep his interest. They have a fun time working thru those differences.

Liam rediscovers love when his old high school girlfriend returns to town. Chelsea thought they could be friends but the intense feelings they have for one another don't seem friendly. Liam is fighting it all and is afraid of getting hurt again. He is not as reluctant to physically reconnect. They have to deal with their past to have a future.

I enjoyed reading both of their stories. They are good guys enjoying the benefits of their lifestyles when we first meet them. When they realize that there is something more for them than casual liaisons, they work to make it happen. Liam is more reluctant because he has been hurt by love. I have to admit I connected the most with the story of Liam and Chelsea. Her parents encouraged her to break off the relationship and they lost fourteen years that they could have had together. It was nice to see them get a second chance.

Wowzzza

Ok first off...I was given this book in exchange for a honest review...
And I hit the jackpot with this lovely lil gem...
I was so sad when it ended...these authors did an amazing job writing about two brothers that happily enjoyed life being players...until THAT day when it all changed...
Hudson in the first part of the book is a real estate agent that is super arrogant and I wanted to smack him one for Kennedy...lol Kennedy a sweet delicious lady that flips homes and of course she meets the notorious Hudson and of course he thinks his way is better and she isn't doing this house flipping business quite the way Hudson thinks she should so needless to say it gets rather heated...I enjoyed watching this story unravel.. it has the perfect amount of angst romance and humor...my three favorite things in a book
Liam is the second brother and he is very angry even all these years later that his high school sweetheart broke his heart and left town..
Well Chelsea is back in town and boy o boy do the sparks fly...I really really loved this book...the banter and all emotions really had me right in the moment with them..I hated when this book came to an end..
I hope these two lovely ladies write more...I want MORE!!!
A heart warming feel good book with spicy sexy moments!!!
Awesome job ladies
