What a Fantastic Ending to the Nobles of Sweet Rapids Series. Author Te Russ did such an amazing job writing about these siblings and their road to love and happiness.
Ivy is the jet setter, she travels all over the world with her business vlog and her family business "Nobles Naturals" vlog. Her best friend and camera man Duke is with her as they go on these great adventures. Ivy is hands off, walls up regarding marriage and family, it's not unusual though because many people don't want to get married or have children which is fine. And at first that is what you thought about Ivy but then there is a revelation into why she feels that way.
Duke is Ivy's camera man and best friend, they have been through everything together, the good and the bad, the sun and the storms. They are like Almond Butter (I can't eat peanut butter LOL!!) and Jelly. Duke is a ladies man and loving his single status until he has to rescue Ivy from the bar and his booty call has to be shut down. Duke rescues Ivy who is beyond drunk, punches out a guy who was purposely getting her wasted and thanked the bartender for calling him. Duke is furious at first but then compassion follows because he knows his best friend is hurting. So he is going to do what he always does and stick by her side.
An unexpected kiss between Duke and Ivy, leads to a million questions and causes the duo to rethink everything about themselves and each other. And wonders if after all this time could it be remotely possible that they are who each other needs?
It was great to have the siblings again and their mom in this story. What was even more brilliant is the author had Duke's grandmother who raised him currently battling the early signs of dementia, this was such a real aspect to this story because this is a reality for many people today and I know that some authors don't want to touch on those realities because they want to keep the story light. I appreciate as a reader the realer the people are in the stories the better.
Well Until My Next Post...Ciao!

Traveling the world all over and everything in between, Ivy and Duke have seen it all and have become thick as thieves. But even their tight bond can't hide some truths. Learn how seduction can be so 'Noble' as they journey from friends to lovers.
I am sorry to see this series end. It was my first introduction to Russ' work and I'm glad I found new material to read. This book was a nice wrap up to the series. I was happy to not only get to know more about Ivy and Duke but also get to delve into all the siblings' lives one last time. This was a great friends to lovers story and I enjoyed how it all unfolded. I was shocked to learn Ivy's secret...I liked how the author included that into the plot. It made me think back to when I first was introduced to Ivy Noble. Duke's personality was very fitting for her: he was a nurturer yet a manly man when it was needed. His love for Ivy was so tender and her fight for him was just as endearing.
The conclusion wrapped up all the Noble siblings' relationships quite well: wish there were more books to come.

Truly Enjoyable
Te’ Russ created the fine example of a family losing their head but finding their way together. This four book series kept me through four days of sickness, causing me to laugh, smile, and determine to live my best life now.
Ivy and Dukes story was the icing on the cake! No longer would she be boggled down with feelings of hurt...because exposure and forgiveness presented her road to freedom! I promise this was a great read and I’m sure to recommend it to all my romance readers who have enough self control to not allow the sex scenes to drive them into sin🤭. Good job Te’ Russ...The Nobles were indeed my type of family!

Great Series
I did not review each single book and chose to do all four books together. I loved each story of this dynamic family. Each had its own twists and turns. Just wanted to find out how things ended for Dana. In my mind she had her happily ever after as well.
Great stories and I encourage everyone to read this series of positive, successful black siblings. You will enjoy them.

How bittersweet this is because Ivy is the last of the Noble Quads to get her HEA, and I have fallen in love with every member of this family. Ivy's story touched me deeply and Duke-- oh--what a perfect match he was for our girl. She deserved to be with someone who knew her better than anyone, who was there to hold her together when it felt like her world had come to an end. And who better than your best friend. Loved it!❤❤

Always there
Wonderful story about a love that was always there between Ivy and her best friend Duke. Between the two I’m not sure who suffered from denial the most. What seemed like a cut and dry story still had a number of surprise layers that added to this enjoyable read. I kinda heat that my visit to sweet rapids has come to an end. I only wish I knew what happened between Dana and Adien ( friends I’d the Nobles)

Ivy and Duke had always seemed as if they were more than friends to everyone but them. After a hot kiss Ivy expects things to go back to normal but both are left with new or untapped feelings for their friends. After finally allowing herself to move on she opens her eyes and heart to the man that had always been there for her.

Love of a lifetime
I truly enjoyed this series and Ivy and Duke’s story didn’t disappoint. There love was a true friends to lovers and more and it was so fitting for the youngest to find such balance in her life. The ending of this series is both bitter and sweet. This is a love we all look for and will last a lifetime!

Sweet finale
Enjoyable finale for those Nobles of Sweet Rapids series; Real life, feel good stories with all the hours and pains of living. Was glad to see Ivy get double her portion for what she had gone through. By the way, still would like to know what happened with Dana and Aiden

You'll never find...
Ivy and Duke are friends that have literally been through everything together and traveled the globe... just friends. Oh, but the Sweet Rapids electric zing hits them and there is NO. TURNING. BACK. The Nobel girls had some tough times to get to their HEAs, but in the end Irene and Isaac raised 4 great children he made ALL BY HIMSELF!

Te pretty much writes her TAIL off. The Noble Quad series got a proper and fitting end that fits the rest of the stories really well. It has been great watching her pull and stretch herself to bring us better and better stories.

Natural progression
Duke and Ivy were two birds that flocked together. They were everything to each other, so their relationship made its natural progression from friends to lovers effortlessly.

Love it!
Ivy and Duke go from friends to lovers, one of my favorite type of stories. A great end to the series. What I loved about their story was how they embraced it. Duke is my kind of man, he woos a woman and he wooed Ivy.

Gonna Miss This Family
The Noble series was so good. I love how Ivy and Duke were friends before realizing they felt more than friendship for each other. Happy that every one found their true love.

Liked it
A 3.5. This was a cool read though I'd put it as my fourth favorite in the series. I love friends-to-lovers and Ivy and Duke were good together... this one just didn't QUITE hit for me like the previous three books. Still dug it, though, overall.

Prefect romance
I truly love the whole Nob!e Series. Duke and Ivy's story was the best way to end the series. It was great reading about the new additions to the Noble Family.
