Finding Hope

Rate this book
Professional fighter and undisputed champion, twenty-five year old Jack Reilly is back for the final instalment of the Rollin On series.

Dealing with more grief than any teenager should have to by his young age, Jack’s life finally started to make sense when he stepped into the Rollin On gym. He found a whole new world and a family he never in his wildest dreams expected to love him back.
A new focus. A new goal. Jack was dubbed to be a champion long before he ever stepped into the octagon.
With his sweet girlfriend Stephanie by his side, Jack’s world was picture perfect. But then grief and chaos strikes again, tearing him down and thrusting him into a pit of despair he couldn’t possibly hope to escape. There’s only so much pain a man can take in one lifetime.

Will this be the year Jack finally breaks?

Long awaited and eagerly anticipated, the boy we met five books ago is finally a man.

Slept around. Slept with other people after heroine.

I didn't really feel the love he had for the heroine. And the way the dead girlfriend was handled didn't sit right with me.

He called the heroine a whore a couple of times. I truly do not understand why people liked Jack. I liked him in finding forever, but he was just a big jerk in this one.

Good God no!!

I’ll be honest, this kind of trope is not my favorite. The grieving the dead ex who he truly loved” aspect has to be handled perfectly or I have a hard time buying the new love. That being said, they were young when they met and the rest of the series was great, so I was willing to give this a fair shot. I’m not sure this could have been handled ANY worse! I just started my mini love affair with this author the other day. I’ve read 3 other books and loved them. This truly feels like it couldn’t even have been written by the same person! The kid Jack who was in the other 3 books has grown up. Here’s the long story short of the whole thing and why I just knew I’d hate it and gave up. Backing up... He loses the girl he loves and has been with for 7 years. He supposedly truly loved her. Next page it’s only 5 months later and you are beat over the head with the fact that he is already, and has been for a while, a manwhore. He literally walks up to a chick in the bar asks her to go with him, walks to the back office and they are having sex. No get to know you or exchanging names etc. jus wham bam thank you man. I just thought ok, he found a likeminded skank. Refreshing (insert eyeroll). Then the next page and you realize the random skank was actually our heroine. She starts inner monologuing to us about every single guy that’s she slept with and why, along with their penis size. Reinforcing how slutty she is. I didn’t really need any of that info, it was TMI to be honest. Moving ahead a couple more pages and it’s been weeks, and the hero has screwed random chicks every night. Honestly I bailed. Not only does that make me doubt his ability to love at all (again it has only been 5 months!) but I wouldn’t want to see him get with the heroine after all of that. I don’t get why keeping the two main characters from screwing other people once they have screwed each other is such a foreign concept? But when the guy was just basically widowed? WTH? I mean seriously, 5 month. I wouldn’t even want to date a guy that just lost someone 5 months ago. If they were that ready to move on with me, then I figure I would be just as easily replaced. Let alone the slut fest he has been on. I can’t understand when the plot calls for it, but it most definitely wasn’t necessary here. The whole plot and book grossed me out at this point and honestly pissed me off at the author a bit. To end a series this way, when you’ve “watched “this kid grow up? We had to see him turn into an insincere, faithless, slut with no pride in himself who settles for a skanky chick who was willing to screw him in a random office two seconds after meeting him without even catching his name. I mean literally seconds. No time to form a connection, as in since there was no connection, if she’d do it like that with him then she has no self respect and would sleep with anyone. I can’t respect characters like that. Sex is great but you have to at least have some standards. I just don’t get it. It just came off as gratuitous and basically garbage. So disappointed. Back to book shopping, too soon to read more from this author right now.

"Kit..." Shakily, he swipes his spare hand beneath his nose. Clearing his throat with a gentle cough, his tear soaked eyes meet ours. "Can I come home?"

Definitely my favorite book in the series. Even better than Aiden's.
I love Jack SO much. He deserves the world. No fuck that, he deserves the entire universe. Life's been a bitch to him, taking his parents and having his sister raise him. And when he does get his shit together, his girlfriend dies. For the love of God, give my man a break.
So Jack loses it. He throws away his career, his money, forgets about his family. Instead, drugs, shitty food and girls.
Until Britt. The one-night stand turned into two-night stand, which in turn became a meaningful relationship. I believe that what Britt did for Jack was beyond thoughtful. She never wanted to compete with Steph, she only wanted Jack to stop blaming himself and move on with his life.
And it could all be amazing, if not for the stupid ass mains I call my children. IF ONLY BRITT AND JACK TALKED, ADMIT THEY LOVE EACH OTHER INSTEAD OF JUMPING TO CONCLUSSIONS IT WOULD ALL BE AMAZING.
But anyway, I got my happy ending and I can't wait to see what the name of the baby is going to be!

***Also, JACK BEING AN UNCLE IS THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME.

3 ⭐⭐⭐ - OK decent reads.
==========================

He took Stephanie, so he deserves to die.

She sucked my dick and helped me forget for 3.2 seconds.

Normally, I turn them around so I don’t have to see their faces when I disrespect Steph. I prefer the anonymity.

I can’t have Steph, and I’m too tired to work for the rest. Instead, I distract myself with new girls and getting high.

Steph took my goodness with her, and now all I’m left with is the shell of an asshole. And though a part of me wants to get better, a part of me wants to be better, I still find myself high and fucking a new chick twelve hours after Emma’s party.

“You don’t look like any teacher I ever saw, Brat. I don’t remember any of my teachers ever showing off ink and side boob.”

“Jesus, Bambie. Fuck, you feel good.”

“You have a nipple piercing.”

“You haven’t seen my clit yet.”

“You need to go. Get the fuck out.”

“Cab money. Now put your shoes on and get.” “I’m not your whore, Jack!”

“Actually.” He stops in front of me and snarls. “Yeah, you are. You fucked a stranger, now I’m giving you fifty bucks. Fuck off.”

“I had no expectations except to be treated with common decency!”

“That chick you just humiliated,” Aiden bites out. “That’s Smalls’ school teacher.”

six months of flushing everything away: my career, my body, my health, my money and reputation.

I had no clue I’d created a dependency on alcohol, but there you go.

“I still love you, baby. Every day for the rest of my life. I’ll see you next week, okay?”

I can’t even try to compare you both, because it’s like comparing a unicorn and a… well, maybe a raccoon.” I smile and pick the last three petals off. “Or maybe a unicorn and a deer.

“I love you, Steph. I’ll love you for the rest of my life, I promise.”

How could I ever compete with the love of his life? How could I compete with this history?”

I write about the virginities we gave up for each other, and the sex talk I was given when my brother thought I was already experienced. I wasn’t. I was in love and thinking ahead.

I can’t compete with you, Steph.”

I can’t compete with romanticized memories. Steph will forever be immortalized and remembered as young and beautiful and perfect.

“You’re right.” I acknowledge quietly. “You’re not my girl. You’re not my anything…” I swallow past my heartbreak and self-loathing. “You’re just a whore. Get your boyfriend to drive you home.”
“Jack–”
“Go fuck yourself, Brittany.”

I gave her space, I tried to move on, but I just can’t.

I have loved every book in this series and wanted to love this one, but I just can't. I feel like I watched Jack grow up and was excited for his story. I can't reconcile the jerk teenager, turned thoughtful boy with this whiney man. I was sad for his loss and can even understand how he fell off the deep end, but who was this insecure, man baby?

I was on board with Britt for a bit. I get the need to shuck off your professional self and fly free with an alter ego. She was pretty bad ass until she became this weird person who ended up doing everything she said she wouldn't. I might have gotten over the complete change in personality, but who sits regularly at the grave of a person you don't know? Nobody, that's who.

Both of these two did some shitty things to each other with his name calling and her drinking beer in front of him just to be a completely mean asshole. Their inability to communicate was like middle schoolers and I was sad the series ended this way.

This was surprisingly tame angst wise considering the content..I thought there would be a lot of jealousy, insecurities and wish washy behavior due to the H's long-term girlfriend passing away. They were surprisingly well adjusted well after the beginning 😅

I will say Brittany annoyed me. They weren't casual, they were in a relationship. They talked about this..for her to act like they were just a fling instead of communicating with him really annoyed me. I get what happened hurt her but it also was out of his control and didn't warrent her ghosting him. Also her ordering a beer knowing he's a recovering alcoholic with no thought to his well-being really ticked me off. Then just left it there to go to the bathroom. He had this whole inner monolog about how she wouldn't know if he had one sip. He was newly sober dude like 6-8 months and it just felt like a jerky thing to do. So by the end I wasn't the biggest fan of hers.

Have you ever had a bookish friend, a book bestie, actually, recommend a book/series? The one series and author they won't shut up about and you're all, "it literally cannot be that good," but then you read the damn book and suddenly the literary universe shifts because the book/series/authors is indeed FREAKING AMAZING! Yea, that totally happened to me with Finding Hope, the Rollin Series, and Emilia Finn. I'll never hear the end of this, but let's move on to the fab book review, shall we?


Jack. *insert dramatic swoony sigh* That man! I shall be fighting off all women forever to claim this book boyfriend and he's worth all the claw marks. Britt aka Bambi, is one of the coolest, strongest, and just plain badass female characters I've come across in a long time! Emilia Finn has absolutely blown me away with her writing, her humor, and her ability to make me feel right along with her characters. I laughed, I cried, I also giffed super hard messaging her and my friend about this book! Gah, this book is seriously just EVERYTHING.

The characters are vibrant, the writing is impeccable, the humor is off the charts hilarious, and the steamy factor....holy guacamole! You might need a damn stiff (hahaha) drink after some of those scenes. A second chance romance of loss and how hope can give you new reason to live and love. READ THIS BOOK. Read this series. Read anything Emilia Finn ever writes. Do it now and thank me later. All the damn stars.

**Finding Hope is Book 6 of the Rollin Series, but is 100% a standalone novel. Warning: it's so good you should buy the other books anyhow because you'll be desperate to read them after you're done.

"HOLY SHIT, IT’S THE END –
I’m not crying. You’re crying. Shut up. You are!"

Same thoughts here... I loved this series so much. Jake's story was so painful and so beautiful at the same time. Loved every page of it. Steph and Britt were perfect for him and I really loved them both. One was his past and one was/is his future! He was/is a really lucky man!

One day... I'll be back to this story and to this series ❣️

This was a study in how to take a likeable h, who can stand up for herself,...mostly, to a dislikeable passive aggressive jerk whose actions border on cruelty. I totally hated on her by that stage. The H is all 'oh my lost love' but then this story does start from the moment he loses his girlfriend so surely that's to be expected as he works through his grief.

The H for all his douchy behaviour changed, and she just didn't deserve him.

Gather round. Let me tell you about a boy I just KNEW was going to one day steal my heart and ruin me for all Book boyfriends. I’ve said it from the time I first started reading the Rollin On series, Jack was going to grow up and be incredible. Through every book you can see the pieces of the man he’d be shining through. I was right. *takes a bow* The incredible ending to one of the best series I’ve ever read, Finding Hope will completely shred your heart, then it will turn around and piece your heart back together so beautifully that you’ll never be the same.

I won’t lie, parts of this book had me sobbing. The best kind of ugly cry. You’ll need tissues, but the journey is so worth it. Jack’s story is more than I could have ever imagined it’d be. Gone was the joking boy who could make anyone laugh and in his place was a cold man, broken by tragedy. BUT, his healing and his strength are something that is too amazing to miss. This book is one that touches you right down to your very soul.

Don’t let the sad parts fool you though, this is the Rollin family after all. For every tear I shed, there was moments that had me laughing hysterically, and for every moment of that there were other moments that had me swooning at the sweetness. Don’t think for a moment our boy doesn’t get his happily ever after. He gets it in the most beautiful way of all. There couldn’t be a better ending to such a sweet and loving series than Finding Hope!

Amazing series

I have greatly enjoyed this series. Its taken me two and half days to read it. Im excited to dive into the spinoff series now.

The characters were amazing. This last book was so heartbreaking in the beginning. I do wish that we got more of Jack and Britt's story after they reconciled.

If you like fighter romances with alpha male characters and take no crap women, you will love this series.

Off to start the spinoff series

I have known since the beginning that there was something special about Jack. And this book just showed us all. Jack has lost so much in his life that you can not help but understand and want to hold him tight. Then one night the spitfire that is Britt just shows him up. She refuses to let him use excuses. The turmoil they go through will make your heart hurt. Do not miss this book or series.

This book hurts—but it’s so worth it

The first time I read FH, I was devastated from the first chapter...and the second time around wasn’t any different. I don’t know that I’ve ever cried so much over a character that I wanted to slap at the same time. Jack’s world (and me!) were torn apart in the beginning but once he’s done being a “focaccia face” he transforms back into the guy we fell in love with in the first 5 books.

I love Bambie’s sass. As much as it kills me to admit, I think Jack needed Barbie in his life. He needs that spark and sass to keep him on his toes.

My only regret with this book is we still don’t know who wins that last fight...maybe it was a draw. And to be honest, I think it’s almost better that we don’t know! Keeps the Jack vs Bobby crowd going strong with speculations.

Another great book from Emilia Finn. I’m so glad I stumbled upon this series...my life would not be complete without the Rollers, Survivors or the Checkmate boys.

My heart broke for poor Jack at the start of this book. I don’t want to give any spoilers, but I could imagine readers of this series tracking down the author and burning her at a stake for the start of this book. But that is when the genius moved in. The emotions evoked during some scenes brought tears to my eyes, while at other times I laughed. Bambie was a strong, likeable character who matched well with Jack. Although I haven’t read other books in this series, I had no issues following the storyline.

Alpha male, protective, angst and some heart squeezing moments made this an enjoyable read.

When I first saw the name Britt (in the chapters page), my first thought was "WHO THE F@$! IS BRITT!?!?"

I loved this book though.

This book brought out the tears again, just like Jon and Tink's book did. I love Jack though. 😍 Can't wait to start Alex's book, just really just want more Jack.

Summary:
Steph and Jack get hit by a drunk driver. Steph dies at the scene and Jack survives with some broken bones.

Jack is devistated. He and Steph had been together for 7 years. She was with him through his 6 champion fights, through all the crazy fans, and just through life in general. Now she’s gone.

Jack stops fighting professionally and turns to drinking, drugs, and having hook ups with random girls. One of these girls who really catches his eye is, Britt. She was the opposite of Steph. Where Steph was innocent, agreeable to Jack, and just an over all sweet person, Britt is sassy, not innocent, and knows how to stick up for herself. After they have a one time hook up in Tina’s office at Club 188, they find each other again at Club 188 and go back to Jack’s place. After a night of great sex, Britt goes exploring for water, but when Jack finds her looking at pictures of Steph, he blows up on her. He throws her out of his house, proceeding to wake up his neighbors (aka his brothers and their wives). While everyone watched, Britt shows that he is an asshole and a jerk and. she even keys her name into his Mustang. This is also when she finds out that Evie is Jack’s niece and Evie’s parents have now seen Evie’s teacher have a walk of shame and go crazy on Jack.

Jack eventually wins over Britt by saving her from her coworker’s advances in asking her out on a date; Evie is even helping him.

Jack tells Britt (aka Bambie) about Steph and she helps him though his lose even more. Because of Bambie, Jack stops drinking and comes back to his family and admits he has been an asshole and a terrible brother/uncle.

Jack and Britt finally become boyfriend & girlfriend, but they are both too scared to admit they love each other. One night, after Jack comes back from a promo tour for his next championship fight, Bambie decides to wake him up with a blowjob, but she doesn’t realize he is dreaming of a conversation with Steph where he says he loves Britt and wants to marry her and Steph gives him her blessing. All Britt hears is the end where Jack says out loud that he loves Steph. This causes a big rift and Britt refuses to admit what is bothering her. After a lot of going back and forth, they break up.

Jack has his big championship fight and wins, but Bambie returned the tickets he gave her to go see him. She did watch it at home though. She watched it on her phone at Steph’s headstone. (She visits Steph there once a week ever since Jack told her about Steph.)

A short while after the championship fight, Brady (the coworder that wouldn’t leave Bambie alone) tryies to go after her again. He had started working out at a gym to be a fighter so he can be like Jack, so he is a big buff man now too. He comes after Bambie one day after school in her classroom. Bean runs in and warns Bambie that her Uncle is coming. Britt thinks it’s Jack, but it’s Brady; Brady is Bean’s biodad’s brother.

Brady was chasing down Bean because he wants access to her halfsiblings and Brady doesn’t know where they are. But now that he is lead to Britt, he tries to advance on her, but she turn him down again and he gets violent. He starts punching her. Britt tells Evie and Bean to run, and they do, right into Jack. Jack runs in to save the day. He beats up Brady; saving Bambie.

Even though Jack saved Bambie, they stay broken up. Jack thinks Bambie has moved one. But he learns that she hasn’t, so he rushes to find her He finds her at their lookout spot. He proposes and she says yes.

In the epilogue, we find out that Jack and Bambie are married and Bambie is heavily pregnant. They are at the Rollin’ gym, ready for Bobby and Jack to finally have their big match against eachother to finally see who would beat the other one. We are left with a cliffhanger, we don’t know who wins.

Review:
Holy moly. So many tears. I had to stop reading at work and read a paragraph at a time at one point so I wouldn’t be crying at my desk. My heart hurt so much for Jack. I so wanted him and Steph to work out, but I can see now that it might have been better for him to end up with Bambie.

There’s one or 2 more spicey scenes in this book than there was in the rest of the series, so that was great! I loved how edgy Britt was.

I really wish i knew if Bobby or Jack wins. I bet I could find out in the next series about Britt’s brothers and his friends.

3.5-4 stars, so I'll say 4 this time

As the last book of the Rollin On series, I was hoping for a better ending. Aka not a cliffhanger. Who won the fight? Will they even say in the other series? I kinda want to read Alex's story to see if it says, but I'm doubting it will and I will likely end up disappointed in that book too.

I'll have some spoilers down the way, so stop not if you don't want to see them. I'm reviewing on Kindle so I can't block it out for spoilers.
As with the first five books, I feel like the writing is inconsistent with tenses... One moment they're talking now and then they graze over a lot of time with storytelling mode (as I call it). So definitely not my favorite.

The terms are also not what I'd expect for the setting - set in the US but using Australian slang in addition to wrong words in general. I looked up gobbie (had the basic idea but wanted to see what it really meant) and Google said it's gobby. And even as I type it here, the gobbie is underlined in red as an incorrect word. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Same for wavers. I noticed that in one of the former books too... It should be waivers.

When I first started this book, the opening scene was quite unexpected and I wanted to throw the book for the BS the author was putting Jack through. I'm not one to quit a book though, so I continued past her death and on to Jack's destruction. It was pretty terrible. But I find it hard to believe he lost all his money during that year. That's a lot considering he was a 6x world champion and all. But 🤷🏼‍♀️. Moving on.

His player ways got him the girl but man, the two of them together were sometimes annoying. They fall for each other but God forbid they actually communicate and understand each other better. 🙄

Still not crazy about the vagueness of the location for the book. I like more details to better paint a picture.

And I thought Laine was a jerk. I get that Jack hurt Bambie (and really, in my mind she was Bambi), but Laine telling Jack that Britt/Bambie was seeing the other guy was just super cruel.

Evie wins the book. She's a hoot and I love her character so much. And I love Aiden with her still too. 💙

I was hoping to be done with this series after this book but I am curious to see if Alex's story has any details on the fight and what happens when Britt has the baby. It sounds like that aspect (the baby) may be covered in the next book. So I will check it out. But I'm not really vested in the other characters so will likely stop after Alex and call it done. I need some 5 star books in my life and so far the Rollin On series just hasn't given me enough of that.

That being said though, the characters are fun to read about. Jon was more likeable in this book than his own too. But the writing? Eh. Not so much. Some repetition in the sentences too - like in the previous books. Felt like there were parts that either weren't edited well or just added words to make a longer book. Thankfully it wasn't super frequent at least.

The worst and most cringeworthy phrase, and I want to say it was in almost all the books, if not all for sure... "I've gotcha back". Every damn time I read it I cringed and yelled that's not a phrase people say! I've got you, or I've got your back, sure! But essentially saying "I've got you back" makes me think of tag and tagging someone back. Not looking out for them and standing strong behind them for/with them. It was horrible. But then in this book I noticed getting away from the "I've gotcha back" and I was thankful.... Until they reverted again. 🤦🏼‍♀️

So yeah, I need a break from this author after Alex. And I just hope I'm not disappointed with Alex's story.

I gobbled up all 6 of these books in a week. And I agree with the author’s friends. They aren’t shit.

I was so invested in this family, I cried way too much through books 5 and 6, and now I need my book friends to read them so we can be gutted together.

Seriously, there’s some fluffy/non flowy bits that I’m willing to forgive because overall the series is awesome and I’ll gladly reread it. And the miscommunication trope is So Strong - but she does it so well.

It’s also endearing to see an Aussie author writing a US based series- the tiny things I had to overlook or look up were honestly adorable. (“Six and a half” being 6’4”, 5,000 mile wide country, a certain euphemism, it was fun.)

Proof editing was on point. I think I found 2 mistakes in 6 books. Bravo.

After processing the book for a day, I have more thoughts- I didn’t feel like Jack & Britt had enough of an HEA. For a chunk of the book they are 2/3 of a relationship - and it is beautiful and well done. But they were broken up for the other half of the book. I’m not a 3rd act breakup fan but this felt even bigger than that. The red dress Britt was mean and callous, and how dare he call her a whore twice?! That whole scene felt unnecessarily mean and cruel from both of them. WTF with the beer, Britt?!
I think it felt too fluffy when he finally did go get the girl. There were so many opportunities to get in step before then. Maybe if she had overheard some of the Cemetery Confessional, they could have gotten on the same page for more than just the epilogue.
I listened to Pink’s True Love today and she could have easily thought that song was for Steph, just because he’d given Britt no reason to think otherwise. Same with the hair tie. The reader knows but their MFC doesn’t so it’s a little hard to believe their HEA (all the others were very believable, imo).

I know all that sounds negative- but remember I just read ~1800 pages of this family and I’m recommending it to all my book girlies. And I don’t want to tell you anything about the good parts so I don’t spoil it. Still a 5⭐️, would happily read again series, and I’m so glad there’s 34 other books from this author.

Review: I can’t believe this series is over. I flew through all six books in less than a week, it was that good! This book ripped my heart out from the start and barely put it back together. I was so excited to see Jack all grown up since we’ve known him since he was 15 in the first book. His life definitely hasn’t been easy but luckily, over the last ten years, he’s been surrounded and supported by his by-choice family. They’ve carried his through the tough times and taught him life lessons. That was my favorite theme throughout the book. Family, whether blood or by-choice, will always be there for you. Britt was so sassy and so incredibly strong. She was immediately welcomed into the family even though how they met did not paint her in a great picture. She took a broken man and helped him find himself again. I seriously don’t know how much strength it took for her to help Jack through his tough times but she never let him push her away. It really bothered me that they both kept so much bottled up instead of talking to each other. You would think after reading the first five books that Jack would’ve learned his lesson. So much heartbreak was wasted because of miscommunication. Also, it really bothered me what Britt’s friend did to Jack. I understand trying to protect her but she should’ve let Britt make that decision on her own. I absolutely loved seeing Bean and Smalls a little older and how sassy Smalls is! I can’t wait to read the next generation series!

The series comes to a furious and emotional end with Jack's story. The books starts with startling events that send Jack into a free fall, and him tapping out on everything and everyone. It's a painful ride as you read all of the changes that take him back to the scared angry boy he was when his father died. When he finds a little light he grabs hold and it's all that brings him back from the darkness. The spark that awakens him is a little pistol and connected to some other characters that will bring a chuckle to you as well as the rest of the rollers. This read may be emotional but it's also cathartic since this is the end of this part of the Rollers story. As with the other books in the series these guys don't do anything easy. Jack wins all of you heart and soul as we watch the boy we loved turn into a man. You will want to hug him, choke him, shake him but most of all you will love him more. The Rollers protect their own and the offspring understands this as well. Evie and Bean show they are true Rollers in every way.

I have completely fallen for this clan and have followed since the Survivor's series. This author has the skills and characters to win your heart. She shows their flaws, strengths and vulnerability and makes them real, touchable and embedded in your heart. And just like Jack, like this entire family, you too can find hope to fill your empty places and carry on.

In the first chapter I wanted to jump on to writing a review - it was that good.

**spoiler alert* if you don't want details, stop reading this and go read the book.

The first chapter broke my heart to pieces - shattered. Based on the summary I knew it would be a rough read, but I had no idea. Ms. Finn shattered my heart, then started putting it back together. Then broke a little more of it, then put it back together.

Jack had been through so much and I thought he and Steph would go through a rough patch. I just had no idea how rough it would be. The feelings this book created were so deep, you can feel the pain and the love. There were moments of levity and I even chuckled quite a few times, but the underlying theme of heartbreak was still there.

Then along comes this sassy, wild child in a school teacher package. I never would have guessed the dichotomy of her full personality. It was just what Jack needed. And even as broken as Jack was, what she needed too.

I have loved this whole series - started on audio as it was in Escape, but am glad I ended up reading this last one. I am not sure how the feelings might be conveyed differently in someone else's voice, and now it doesn't matter. This series is definitely one of my favorites. The fun, the family, more drama in some than others.

Thank you for sharing the Rollers with us. I can't want to see what happens with the Turner's and the band!

>Book Review – Finding Hope
>I am an independent reviewer. This book is the 6th book in the Rollin On series and ends in an HEA. Finally, we get Jack’s story! Jack was introduced in this series as a teen age jerk. He meets his high school sweetheart and becomes a beloved boyfriend and Uncle Jack. The beginning of this story will cause a lot of ugly cries. The beginning of the story will also cause Jack to turn in to a selfish alcoholic and pot head. He gives up his MMA championship belt and neglects his family. He also turns in to a man whore and meets Britt that way. Jack is so unpleasant, but needs to be so realistically.
>This book is by far the saddest, but has the funniest twist. Once the reader, Jack and the Kincaids find out whom her brothers are, the story really picks up speed. Britt is a strange character. She is a school teacher by day, goth partier by night. Realistically, she should have more issues with partying at bars in the same town she teaches in. This book has a lot of Evie and Lucy a bit more grown up, which is awesome.
>This book is appropriate for an adult audience. I am giving this book 5 stars. The story will rip your heart out, but the HEA for Jack is so worth it.

It’s the end of Rollin’ On

This is book 6 in Emilia Finn’s Rollin’ On series. It is technically a standalone romance with a happily ever after ending, but we have been watching Jack grow from a surly young teenager with a chip on his shoulder to a tough and amazing young man throughout this entire series. It adds so much to Jack’s story to have read his past throughout all these books. Plus added bonus, it takes place a few years after the other books so we get to meet all the other couples’ kids and see the feisty little trouble makers they’ve grown into. Sooo... probably go read the rest of the series first.
This book probably has the most angst, emotion, and heartbreak of the series. It was a tough read at times feeling Jack’s pain. I also struggled with how Jack handled his heartbreak. I felt attached to Jack after all these books with him and I was disappointed watching him revert back to his a**hole tendencies. But it was real, and I enjoyed watching him come back to himself. I liked Jack and Britt together and how she handled his pain and struggles.
This was not my favorite book in this series, but I think that has a lot to do with how attached I was to the family and how much heartbreak had to be overcome in this story.
