Grady Hardy is a happy man. He’s living with the woman of his dreams and his family is settled … for a change. Sophie Lane never envisioned the life she’s living, but she wouldn’t trade it for anything. Still, she wants more – including marriage. She just doesn’t know how to broach the subject with Grady. Sophie’s past comes back to haunt the couple when Grady’s brother, James, presents her with a gift. After the death of her parents when she was a child, Sophie thought she lost all of their earthly belongings. James is a magic worker, though, and he gives Sophie something she never thought possible. Unfortunately for Sophie, those items come with a curse. She’s spent years trying to block her time in foster care from her memory, but things are about to come roaring back – and trouble is attached. The Hardys have to work together when Sophie’s past overlaps with a big story in her present and ultimately proves a danger to her future, and Grady is going to need every ounce of courage in his arsenal to save the woman he loves – and give her happily ever after at the same time. It’s all hands on deck for another Hardy Brothers Security romp, and love and passion take top billing, even when danger is afoot.
A few months ago Mandy set in motion a plan to track down Sophie's family possessions which disappeared while she was in the foster system. With Grady trying to find the courage to propose the news they've been traced seems like a great chance to do something really special but unfortunately not everything brings back good memories and Grady's inquisitive mind can't leave it alone.
Sophie's in a world of hurt but she's in the middle of a huge story, a car has crashed killing 3 occupants, the driver was pulled out alive but they were all way over the limit. Just so happens he's a politicians son and his father is trying to destroy Sophie's career for printing the truth. When the prosecutor and Sheriff state that they can't prove who was driving the vehicle and that no charges are being made she's not prepared to let it go, determined to uncover the real reason
I laughed when the book said "Grady was intimated by Peter when he first met him..." rather than saying "intimidated." They're decent enough stories. I don't like when the author writes the man saying, "I'll never love anyTHING as much as I love you." Well when you love someone unconditionally then THINGS don't compare. They're just things.
This whole series has been a non stop adventure. So many twists and turns. I Mandy's luck improves at some point. She needs a 4 leaf ☘️. The whole crew is fun and loving. Great read!
As usual Lily Harper Hart never disappoints me book 18 in the Hardy Brothers series was everything I hoped and more, we get to learn more about Sophie and Grady in this book and watch their love grow and evolve. It was nice to see Mandy stay out of trouble in this book and I'm hoping the next story centres around her and James in London for a holiday with a dash of mystery surrounding Stonehenge that would be awesome, it was also great catching up with the rest of the family to.
I love Sophie and Grady and was thrilled to see that this installment focused on them! I loved the political cover-up aspect of this story. I also really liked seeing Grady and Sophie's relationship evolve. I will admit that I was surprised by the ending....not necessarily in a bad way, but surprised none the less. I feel like this will lead up to something even better, and I can't wait!
Another great Hardy Brothers Security. I love this series. Grady and Sophie are great together. I have enjoyed reading all of the books in this series. Waiting on the next one.
I've missed the banter and the fun between the Hardys and their wives...I am pleasantly pleased to have found book 18...it was a nice surprise. Thee story focuses on Sophie and Grady this time and it does not disappoint.
Awesome story! Can't wait for the next. Great add to the series! Keeps getting better and better! These guys are hilarious, emotional and fun of twist and turns!
