I love Will and Patrick, and I was so happy, when I found out about this little gem !

Patrick is actually one of my "all time favorite" characters. I have loved him since book 1.

It has been 2 years, since Will and Patrick woke up married, after a steamy night in Vegas. I guess you could say, that it's about time for these two to go on their honeymoon...and get away from Will's awful mom.

I have read about a lot of awful family-members in the past, but Will's mom really takes the cake. Boy do I hate that woman !!!

I just wish, that Will would stand up for himself a bit more. I was dissapointed about this in the previous books, and though he has grown some balls....it's not a whole lot.

Thankfully Patrick has plenty of balls for the both of them :P

Those of you who have read the series so far, know exactly what Will and Patrick have been through, to get to where they are today. So yes, they deserve that honeymoon, and all the "role-playing" sex they want to have !! Talking about the sex...WOW...these two were burning the sheets !!!! So HOT !!

I really love how far they have come and how in love they both are. Hopefully we will get another book in the future, about them starting a family !!

As for this series, I can't recommend it enough.

It's funny it's sweet and it's HOT. It's also frustrating at times but in the end...it was all worth it ;)

If you are a fan of the Wake Up Married series, you will LOVE getting to see our favorite surprise-married couple again! I adore this series, and though my heart gave a little squee at visiting with Will and Patrick, I wish this was a little more honeymoon and a little less family mess.

I know, I know, the series is full of drama with Will's family, but here it pushed my patience. I mean boundaries, man. I went from being amused to really irritated really fast. The story was also very cluttered feeling, with WAY too much crammed into just shy of 150 pages.

That being said, I read it is a hot second. I flew through it, and simply enjoyed seeing Will and Patrick happy and whole and bantering with each other. Plus, hot sex is hot sex.

I think this is a must-read if you are a devotee of Will and Patrick but be prepared not to love it as much as the main 6 books.

Hey, remember the festering pustule of a human being that's Will's mother? Well, we get to spend lots and lots of page time with her here, watching Will be just as hapless and helpless in the face of her manipulations and abuse as he was when we last saw him 2 years ago. No progress there.

And remember Patrick's best friend Jenny, who reached a little HEA of her own with a good guy who loves her and her baby? Well, apparently that was too easy for her, and what she really wants from life is to be the TSTL lead in a soap opera of her own devising. We get to watch her plan acts of blatant idiocy.

Will & Patrick? Yeah, they're here. The book starts with them in bed, steaming up the sheets. But once that's over, there's pages full of the loathsome mother and the moronic Jenny, and maybe I'm feeling cranky -- okay, crankiER -- but it's Just. Not. Worth it. Not for me, at any rate. I'm going to slink away and fondly remember how things wrapped up at the end of Episode 6, and that will have to be good enough.

I had forgotten how much I loved Will & Patrick. It's been awhile since I've read the other books.

It was so much fun to catch up with Will & Patrick. Lots of laughs in this one. Lots of smexy times too.

Will's mom. No. Words. She was straight up nuts.

I may have to go back and re-read this serial. Highly recommend!

"But you're a Patterson-Molinaro and you're my favorite human on earth, and those siblings of yours don't suck, and neither do babies."

if i love the couple enough, no matter how annoying everything else gets (side characters, plot, etc), i usually can ignore or look past whatever annoyed me; however, i feel like the family drama in this was a bit too much. i don't mind ott drama if i'm prepared for it going into the book and we do get the same chaotic and messy energy in the previous books so i know Will's family are... something else, but there were definitely moments in this book where i was like can yall (@ Kimberly and Tony, mainly) chill for a minute? literally even during Will and Patrick's honeymoon, the one vacation they get alone time without meddling families or friends, they still couldn't catch a fucking break. 😒

Will and Patrick were still great to me, but my mood was ruined during some parts of the book bc of Kimberly and even Tony (and i admit i lowkey liked him in the previous books lol, but he got on my nerves here), but it's whatever i guess. i'm just glad Will and Patrick were somewhat able to have a honeymoon at all. 🥹

Actually, the first half of this extra episode is about the last couple of days before Will and Patrick are leaving for their honeymoon, the second half is about Will’s meddlesome and self-centered parents ruining it.

4.5***** so much fun stars


“I love you,” Will whispers.
Patrick’s heart clenches with joy and he nuzzles his face against Will’s chest hair. “Good.”
“Just ‘good’? You don’t want to, I don’t know, reciprocate the declaration?”
“You already know how I feel.” Patrick huffs. “I married you, didn’t I? Twice. Just to prove I meant it the first time.”



I loved the whole series but this Bonus Episode is the shit and even funnier than the rest. *lmaooo (despite there being some serious topics as well)


About the honeymooners: Patrick is a neurosurgeon, on the autism-spectrum, weirdly addicted to their small-town’s gossip website The Hurting Times and did drunkenly marry the equally drunk Will in Vegas two years ago. Will, married to Dr. HottieMcBrainSurgeon runs a charity, is diabetic, has a family that drives them both nuts (mostly his mother Kimberly) and… ah yeah, a mafia-boss as a father.


I have no idea if reading this is as good as listening to the audio, but John Solo did an outstanding job narrating this whole thing, esp. Patrick’s dry and unfiltered self. The whole cast of characters is hilarious. The banter, the dramatics, Patrick’s unique personality, his love for Will and Will’s family he has to take on in his life against his will - so so good. Leta Blake created a lot of smart and witty word-play that made me laugh constantly. And I was doing so no less this second time around.



“Do you want me to play bad nurse?”
“Mmm, no. Let’s play captured superhero instead.” […]

“Dr. Villain, I’ll stop your evil plans.” […] “You’ll never make me come, Dr. Villain. Never,” Will whispers and pretends to struggle against Patrick’s hold. “I’ll never break.”
“We’ll see about that, Super Do-Gooder.”

***Audio Review ***

John Solo does such a wonderful job with Will and Patrick...Patrick in particular. Some of the lines are laugh out loud funny, and even though the mother in law from hell, yes you Kimberley Patterson Molinaro, would send most people running for the hills, Patrick just about puts up with her for Will's sake. Personally, I'd hire one of Tony Molinaro's alleged hit men and finish the job - she drives me up the wall, and she's a fictional character!! 🤬🤬🤬 Many thanks to Leta for the free copy as a Patreon perk, and I can only hope that we get a further story down the line with KIDS front and centre.

***Book Review***

4.5 stars from me for this romantic honeymoon instalment of the wonderful series that is Will and Patrick, and all the attendant people pests they have to put up with.

I obviously can't [and won't] go into too much detail, although Leta has given the go ahead to post a review, but I will let slip that they travel to Hawaii for their eagerly awaited honeymoon [just don't tell Will though, he doesn't know yet....😉].

Do they finally manage to escape the pesky Molinaro-Pattinson clan for some peace and quiet...specifically from that nosy and completely selfish bitch Kimberley [NB - she annoys the hell out of me 🤬 Go get lost in a snow drift somewhere Kimberley!!]?? Well, I wish I could tell you that they have...but I'd be lying unfortunately ☹. As if Will wasn't guilt-tripped enough about everything under the sun by his mother, she tries it on again in this story. The one thing that remains constant though is Patrick's love for his Puddin-pop, and when Will needs him the most....Patrick is there with bells on. 😍

Many thanks to Leta for the ARC, I'm a proud member of her Patreon.

**3.5 stars** rounded up to 4 for the pleasure to be with Will & Patrick again. A solid, crazy and sexy comedy.

For all the fans of Will & Patrick. These two are so sweet together, with Will the do-gooder and the grumpy hero Patrick, trying to have a “normal” life together, like going on a honeymoon as any couple should after a wedding. But how can they have a normal life with Will’s crazy family and their past baggage ?
It was as fun as expected from this series, a touch bit hotter…not complaining about that…with maybe a hint for more to come ??

4 Stars!

I was so pleased to see another installment to this series. I adore Will and Patrick and love their relationship. I love their banter and their love for one another. In this installment they are finally going on their much belated honeymoon. What ensues is a bunch of sexy times and some really sweet moments between one of my favorite couples. It was great to see where they are now and to get to hang out with them again. I wouldn't mind some more of these two. *Wink*

But you know what really bothered me and why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5? Will's mother. She just ruins everything. I actually like his meddling dad, but I could have done without the momma. She is just plain old awful. I don't understand why Will is still struggling to put this woman either behind him or tell her where her place is. It drives me nuts that he is still continuing to let her get away with her insane behavior. Luckily he has Patrick because that man has no patience for her antics and lets her know just what he thinks of her and her dramatics. That is why these guys are perfect for each other. They balance each other out.

Even with the momma drama I still really enjoyed this and hope there is more of these two men in the future.

Happy reading dolls! xx

I adore Will and Patrick. The original series is a reread for me - I particularly like having a main character with Aspergers in Patrick, and Will is sweet and self-doubting. Definitely, you'll want to read this series from the beginning.

It was fun to have another story and see them together a bit further down the road. In this installment Dr. Hottie McBrainSurgeon and his Puddin’-Pop finally take time for their long-delayed honeymoon. This is Patrick trying to be romantic within the limits of his lack of social skills, Will worrying about things he can't control, and Will's parents making life difficult for them. It doesn't break a lot of new ground, but is funny and sweet and hot, and even a little poignant at one point. A great way to spend a little time with good friends. (And I won't complain if someday we get another taste and get to see Patrick as a parent? Please?)

I really do enjoy this series - so warm and so funny. While there are some heavy issues that are addressed through this book they have been very cleverly written to allow for sarcasm, humour and vulnerability. Patrick & Will are an adorable couple - I sure hope we get a few more books out of them .... as for becoming fathers LMAO this is gonna be great !!!

3.5*

In which Will and Patrick have sex a lot!

I love Patrick, his unfiltered and totally honest take on life bursts out of him with incredible insight and brutally destroys all who might try to hurt his Will.

But he's also empathic, he's kind and he's bewildered with humanity as often as he's frustrated by it and this is what makes him a brilliant character.

Now, don't get me wrong, I love Will too, who just wants the whole world to be happy and who finds it so hard to believe he should be included in that happiness too.

The family dynamics are as mental as usual, both Will's parents turning up on his honeymoon to add drama to the romantic and chilled vacation Patrick has planned so meticulously.

There's lots of humour in this one, the sex (as previously mentioned) is hot and emotional, and ultimately, Will and Patrick's honeymoon really is endless while they continue to love each other without restrictions.

It was lovely to find Will and Patrick so much in love two years on. And so happy. And still so very very hot.
I really enjoyed this last instalment of the series which not only confirms how solid they are together but also ties up some loose ends for themselves and some of the characters we've grown to love so much. (or hate, as in Kimberly's case! .... That woman really irritates me to no end.)
But Patrick being Patrick and Will being Will just outshines every niggle I might have had about that!

I can't recommend this series highly enough - it was pure bliss and so much fun!

Was this additional story needed? Not really. Was it fun? Mostly. Did it tie up loose ends? Not really. Will's parents remain the worse and despite the attempts at push back from Will and Patrick they can't get rid of them. the whole storyline with Ryan hit a bit close to home for me. I know that some people react the way Will does and I understand Patrick but I would not react the way they do so I don't really get it. I wanted more from Jenny! All in all it was enjoyable but not amazing. You can stop with book 6 IMO.

Ahhh, romantic Patrick.

Patrick is leaving all his vices behind as he whisks Will away for a romantic honeymoon in Hawaii. What could possibly go wrong? Well, knowing Will’s family, you can be sure something will come up!

I adore John Solo’s Patrick, in fact I think it’s my favorite of all of Mr. Solo’s voices. So I was thrilled to find out the audio version of Leta Blake’s Will & Patrick’s Endless Honeymoon came out so quickly in audio. As much as I wanted to read this one ASAP I’m glad I waited.

Will and Patrick share some funny, some sweet, and even some poignant moments in this one, and of course, it’s still heavily dosed with the sexy-times we all love so much. Fans of this series won’t want to miss Endless Honeymoon, and if you haven’t discovered this series, grab them in audio - you won’t be sorry.

Patrick's a saint...

I enjoyed this series but, maybe, it should of stopped at book 6. This book didn't add anything enjoyable to the Will and Patrick saga, to me, it was just a continuous let down with little specks of happiness.
In this one, Will and his family were frustrating. Patrick has a lot more patience and understanding then I'll ever have. I thought, in previous installments, Will finally grew a pair when it came to dealing with his mother and father. Apparently not, as it appears, he continues to let them walk all over him. There was way too much time spent with both his parents in this one.
Also, all the side bits with Jenny/Tom/Jax and the whole Ryan thing felt unnecessary. But it is what it is. Definitely not my fav of the series.

4.5 Fitting ending

Patrick is one of my favorite characters with his blunt, unfiltered, snarky, give-no-expletives attitude. He and Will are still madly in love and trying to get away from the craziness that is Will’s family for time alone. I could have done without hearing from Tony and Kimberly but it wouldn’t be a W&P story without them. All loose ends get fairly well tied up in this story, some happily and some sadly. There’s also a butt-load of sex (pun fully intended) and a very useful sex toy. Loved getting this final chapter in their story. I still want Varun’s story; he deserves an awesome bf.

I have conflicting feelings about this.

On the one hand, I love Will and Patrick. They are wonderful together, I love their relationship, they are both great characters in their own right and many of the scenes with them were lovely.

The things I hated were in the form of scenes where other characters were involved. Mainly Will's mother Kimberly.
I hate her. She's emotionally abusive, constantly gaslighting and guilt-tripping her children (mainly Will, but surely her other, younger kids too ).
She is so furthermore so incredibly self-centered and just such a horrible person that she ruins her own son's honeymoon - which was already two years late because Will didn't feel like he was allowed to take the time for himself (again, mainly because his mother keeps guilt-tripping him about leaving her alone).

Will's father Tony isn't much better, but he is mainly just a selfish asshole. At least he didn't willfully ruin the honeymoon, but when he finds out the truth he just.... doesn't care.

Another side-plot is about Ryan, Will's abusive ex-boyfriend, and Ryan's current boyfriend Hartley. On the one hand I was glad that their fate was discussed since there was no closure for them (read: Hartley. I hope Ryan rots away eternally in hell) in the series previously. They do not appear in person, luckily, Will only hears about them second-hand, which I appreciated, but everything Ryan-related still makes me angry so it wasn't exactly enjoyable to read about either.

All of that combined made me really mad and I just felt bad for a big portion of the book -especially because of Will's parents. Their actions aren't exactly excused, but it also feels like they aren't properly adressed either. It just always ends with "oh well crazy family I guess" with no turn for the better, which made me feel even worse.

Overall I'm going to give the book a 2 star rating - Will and Patrick deserve much more, they are wonderful and I love them, but the rest almost entirely ruined the book for me.

I'm gonna put this on hold.
I started reading it and the writing felt completely different from what I just read in the previous episodes. And then I saw it has only Leta Blake's name on it, not Alice Griffith.
The writing is still good, just different. Somehow.

A big thank you to my Secret Santa (or was it a kind elf?) for this wonderful present! :) <3

OMG, I would kill my family if they did this to me!!! No way, no how would I tolerate my father crashing my honeymoon and then calling my mother saying I almost dying in a hospital just to get her there and make her jealous. This family is just too much. I would hide and not tell them where I was going.

Beyond wanting to strangle the family, I so completely enjoyed this. Will & Patrick (dreamy sigh) are so great. I want them to adopt me, although I would then have to put up with the Molinaro side of the family. Hmmm, let me rethink that.

There is no way this is the end to this family/series. There is just so much to show and say! What about Will & Patrick having kids, and Jenny and Jax, and Kevin, and Will's siblings, and Hartley, and the flirty nurse who's name is escaping me at the moment?!?!?! I need to see all their lives unfold minute by minute. How will I live without The Hurting Times gossip? Nope, Leta Blake will simply need to write more.

I'm so glad that Will and Patrick got an extended HEA, but I gotta say....Will's family is fucking annoying as all hell. Especially his mother! UGH...

Image result for selfish gif

She's the most selfish, self-centered drama queen I've read about in a long time. Completely exhausting.

I wish this book would have had a little less of the Patterson-Molinaros and more of just Patrick and Will. The times where it was just them being them, bantering and enjoying the quiet...and ahem....each other was what I was expecting more of.

Also, though I hated Ryan and am sad with the way things ultimately turned out with him, I wish the authors would have developed that storyline a little better. Why was he so angry? Why was he so disgusted with sex? For being such a villain and important person in Will's life for so long, we didn't get much from him besides his constant anger.

I'm sad to say goodbye to Will and Patrick since I've been with them for almost two weeks and 7 novellas. I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into with that first book, but boy am I glad I stuck with this series!!

Hmmm…I didn’t love this. Am I a horrible person for being a bit happy about Ryan? For the love of God this guy is the worst of the worst, please let’s get over him! Ugh!

I didn’t like Will’s Mom to begin with but this, well, this was just too much. Her poor daughter. I can’t believe she pulled the shit she did and wasn’t there to say good bye. I can’t believe how selfish she really is. I don’t like her.

The rest though, Will and Patrick together? Love.

Where did the other author go?

I was thrilled when I heard there would be more to come in the Wake Up Married series. I enjoyed Will and Patrick so much that I even named them my Favorite Character Couple of 2016 and I’m glad to say that everything I loved about them is back in this surprise installment.

Two years has passed in the timeline and Will and Patrick are about to take their long-delayed honeymoon. Patrick has taken care of all the planning and hasn’t told Will where they are going. In fact, in an effort to make sure Will’s family doesn’t ruin their trip, he’s only told one person where they will be in case of emergency. Regardless of Will’s mom Kimberly trying to guilt him out of going, regardless of Patrick’s stress brought on by his intense need to control his workload, it’s going to be a no phones, no internet, and no Hurting Times gossip site trip. Just Dr. HottieMcBrainSurgeon and his Puddin’-Pop alone together for ten days – no patients, no family, no drama. Suuurrre.

Patrick is still baffled at how much he loves Will and wondering if there isn’t anything he wouldn’t do to keep him safe and happy. He may have trouble with certain social cues, but the acts of generosity and kindness he does in the name of Will’s happiness are all above and beyond. Things haven’t changed much for Will either. Kimberly (who is still self-absorbed and horrible) is still able to guilt him into taking care of her children because her life is oh so hard, but Will is able to temper his reactions and stand up for himself a bit more. Patrick still doesn’t hold back as far as his feelings for her and Will’s father Tony are concerned.

The story travels from Healing to their honeymoon paradise and along the way we are treated to appearances by and mentions of the many people in their family and their town that have become a part of their daily lives. Not a lot has changed there either, but it was fun to catch up.

One thing I adore about these stories is despite all the shenanigans and some over the top characters, there are always those moments that give you a gut punch. Here, there is a bombshell dropped about Ryan that also has Will fighting the urge to drink again. For all the abuse he took from Ryan in the past, he still can’t help caring about him and wanting to help Hartley. I really hope that any future installment gives us an update that shows Hartley on the road to happiness.

I don’t know what I can really say about this installment that I haven’t already said in my prior reviews of this series. Will and Patrick are a unique couple and Leta Blake writes them in such a way that I never know what they are going to say or do, but I know I’ll enjoy it. Their sex life is still adventurous (captured superhero role play anyone?) and no matter how rough it gets Patrick is always right back in his caretaker role afterward making sure Will’s sugar levels are good. They have great banter, ooey-gooey feelings for each other and can’t seem to escape the Molinaro family watchdogs (which includes Will’s hot mobster father).

No cliffhanger here, but I’m hoping for at least one more story. We leave Will and Patrick back in Healing, planning for their future together and I really want to see them with kids. It’s a fun, sexy and touching series that I would recommend to anyone, but If you haven’t tried this series yet you need to start from the beginning. If you’re already a fan you will definitely enjoy this fun return to Healing, South Dakota.

This was an excellent ending to this series. Two year into Patrick and Will's marriage, they are completely in love and going on the honeymoon they never had. Of course, being Patrick and Will, and with Will's ridiculously needy, over-the-top family, things don't go exactly as planned.

These two are so in love and adorable together. For such a short chapter, there are a surprising amount of HOT sex scenes. I even teared up a bit, although not for the hea. I will definitely be adding more Leta Blake to my tbr list.
