WARNING: This is the final book in a sexy, steamy, over-the-top paranormal romance, reverse harem series! It includes detailed sex scenes (and lots of them), terrible plumbing puns, and is best enjoyed with a glass of wine and a sense of humor.
Seven dysfunctional, supernatural spouses. One jealous, psychotic childhood friend. A match … made in deception?
My name is Arizona Smoke, and I’m the fated soul mate to six elemental dragons. Or, at least I thought I was. We even got married--big white dress, custom suits for my beaus, crazy mother-in-law--but now there’s this girl who claims that she is their rightful soul mate.
At first, I hated the hunky assholes who’d dropped into my life unannounced, flipped my world upside down, and dragged me into supernatural society kicking and screaming. But now? I’m starting to fall for them, all six of them. I mean, I’d taken the plunge and walked the aisle for these guys, hadn’t I? But this girl--Gemma--she wants my guys to be hers.
Fate must hate me because I’ve got more than just relationship drama to deal with: my biological parents still want me dead, the kidnapped spirit elementals are still missing, and I’m pretty sure my best friend is trying to kill me. As if that wasn’t enough, someone’s raided my inherited wine cellar and all the booze has gone missing!
I'm Ari Smoke, blushing (hah) bride, nymphomaniac, and royally pissed off. Being married to six elemental studs is nice … but wondering if I get to keep them, not so much.
ELEMENTS OF DESIRE is a full-length comedic paranormal, reverse harem romance. This means our leading lady has six male love interests and doesn't have to choose between them. This book is full of steamy sex, ridiculous plumbing puns, and heaps of action, intrigue, and ... well, more puns. This is book 3 of 3--the final book in the series!
Really disappointed in the ending of this series. This series was kind of special to me; it was my first Harem Series and the first book of the two authors that I read. I’ve read everything else they’ve released since and I’m a big fan of their work. So I have a lot of thoughts about the ending as a whole:
The whole world building felt paused so they could sleep together in Australia now? I get the authors is Australian (I am too) but NO ONE in the suburbs let alone the Goldie truly talks like the beach guy unless they’re bunging it on to mess with tourists, that and they’ve been with the girl for awhile, they’re going to know certain things like servo (or use their brain cells to see the gas station and think, maybe that’s what she’s talking about as it’s the only thing ahead of us to pull into?) and how we say quarter to and such. Also pretty darn convenient that platypus venom is toxic to Elementals only after the bad guy stumbles on one forget that George was all but frothing at the mouth at the idea to see one or that’s it’s never mentioned again to harness as a weapon against the big bad elementals? and then it doesn’t really work cause her mum (another forgotten plot line) is a stoner hippie (who in reality would be living in Byron Bay or Nimbin not the Gold Coast) with a Cali Surfer trope of a fiancé? and did a prayer circle forgetting that the men already said it was a death sentence and the little guy went ham stabbing the mum. Wait no! My favourite part was that Surfers Paradise a notoriously busy beach and strip of the Gold Coast is empty enough for them to have a weird showdown with Gemma/Joan and bang in the water! In what world is there not hundreds of people; local and international crawling over every inch of the sand or at the waterfalls. The England/Australia jokes were worn down in the first book too, along with the awkward ‘I’m a liberal feminist!!’ Inner monologue (again I’m a liberal feminist) it frankly dates the book and makes Ari look uninformed and annoying rather than switched on and socially aware especially when she starts going on about how Reverse Harem as a term is sexist, men having Harems is the worst and how Gemma (a sad excuse for a villain?) is every name under the sun, but she’s not slut shaming her, no she’s only calling her that without the shaming aspect! It’s hypocritical and whiny and NOT a good look for what the author was trying to preach.
The action was really lack lustre overall; Baron being in love with his mannequin and running off into the sunset was SUCH a cop out to having them actually fight the Seelie Queen and the indifference of the Unseelie Court. If you can’t write action scenes, that’s cool everyone has their writing strengths and weaknesses but don’t focus your characters around a impending war if that’s the case. I never felt any fear for any of the characters; I knew that all was going to be well with them.
The mothers never were a factor in the story and tbh neither was Daniel but even the only mother we sorta got to know was Wattpad-mother useless and were meant to think Gemma actually holds some form of emotion for them other than bitter hate? They never explain how they came to be, what Ari’s birth name is (or why an Australian woman who is clearly ‘super Australian’ would name their kid after an American state that she so clearly hates so much cause of ‘Trump’ she won’t fly in for her daughters wedding) or how any of it came to be in the first place. The whole storyline with Grams just ends, she’s a guiding spirit with a mission until she’s not? Only there to info drop or acknowledge it as truth so the plot can move on. The ending was kinda boring too; the big ol’ dragon gobbles the big bad up and it’s over? No restorations from the war or the aftermath? Nah just a time jump where you wonder if the three babies are wolves, elementals or incubus but SIKE! There just dogs even after peppering the baby talk annoyingly throughout the entire book and hinting at emotional turmoil and excitement at the idea of a baby from all the men.
Britt was treated as background noise and her Alpha/Beta dynamic wasn’t nearly as fleshed out as it should be. She was an afterthought to Siobhan which is strange considering Britt was always solid where as even from book 1, Siobhan was flaky?
Siobhan and Gemma make no sense as well, so was Siobhan actually in love with Gemma and Dustin at the same time that’s why she lied about Barbados? Oh that’s right, we needed Liberal points so make her bi and snap up the two remaining girls together cause that’s exactly what the past has lead too and it cleans up that awkward Siobhan/Dustin plot that was abandoned last book as well.Not just that but Gemma and Siobhan both outed themselves as villains in the last book, why redeem them? Make them selfish villains who want to ruin the world around them to match their crazy, undeniable love? Gemma’s motives lacked any rational thought and thought process to begin with and continued to change throughout the book; first jealousy, survival, love are the motives, what? Also too, how did no one tell Joan it wasn’t on following them? If not the boys she raised, then Dustin definitely would’ve told them to get lost in a few colourful accented words and made it stick same with Ari’s mother? How out of it is she? Theirs Stoners and then theirs her mother. Make more sense that they got to use her home while she was on her own honeymoon instead of having her awkwardly floating in the background.
How did Dustin not know about Gemma if they were a legit couple like it was established in previous books? Why would the metal clan pull out of saving their heir and his wife in a huge battle oh right, plot!! Cause magic explains hot baths and special spirit stones that are useable once (1) and can be hexed and only mentioned when it’s needed for a villain to seperate her men but don’t fret!! A magic, easily done spell will fix it and she’ll be back with her men..:who still love her although she refuses to learn their interests and take interest in their lives that exist outside of her endless lusting for them. I’m always down for some steamy scenes but if you have to constantly divert the characters to banging to fill space, then your plot isn’t strong enough to carry the book so add to it instead.
Also; SUPER cringe acknowledging the whole ‘we made Billy scared of mannequins so we the two authors have to wrap this up? We’re so meta!! Also, I read this book too and it’s a book the author of THIS book wrote, world within a world right!?! Spirited is a book in Ari’s world!’ Also; referring to your characters as Mary-Sues is an insult to your own writing more than anything? It’s not cool or snarky, it’s saying pretty much ‘yeah, she’s an insert but we’re like aware so you can’t mock her!!’
Sadly, you can tell the authors were done with this series and just wanted to wrap it up and move on to their other stories. The ending was sloppy, a recon of previously stated plot points and sadly plot-weak.

Pros: Always hilarious. Sexy as hell. A bit more background on Ari HEA
Cons: Political comments throughout the book Felt a bit rushed
I’ve been apart of this series since the beginning. Cm stunich and Tate James are my all time favorite RH authors and the first two books sucked me in with the heavy puns, sexy scenes and a fantastic storyline. I was so excited to read this final book but sad to say goodbye to the sexy plumbers and ari. I loved ari and the havoc she is in but the book felt a little rushed. There were some loose ends that kind of made me frown with the way they ended but also some things that I was surprised and happy they ended the way they did. My biggest issue were the political statements. I get feminism and progression, I have beliefs that border the very same but they were very heavy handed on the politics and it pulled me out of the story to the point that I almost didn’t want to read anymore. Not that I agree or disagree just not things I enjoy reading about for my escape. Other than those things I will be so sad to see this series come to an end. I love ari. I love the sept and I love the m/m action! My favorite authors are definitely talented. Now could we please get a Britt book?
I'll start by saying the books were great every kind of sexual scenes you could want as well as a good story line. My only complaint is the authors obvious politicking. If you as an author think I'm going to make statements such as "Donald trump needs to be assassinated" in my books cause I'm going to make a statement you need to be ready for the fall out. Honestly you sound like a moody teenager. I have no problem with you stance but leave it out of your books. Put it on you blog or your author page. Putting it in your book runs the risk of isolating you potential audience. I like these books but I don't want your opinion slammed in my face, therefor it's doubtful I will read any other books by you. If most republicans or really anyone who's tired of having politics shoved in their face believe this you no longer have as many people buying your books. It only hurts yourself.
Omfg this book was hilarious, sweet and the twist was insane. I absolutely love this series and I hate seeing it end but how CM & Tate ended Ari and her hubby’s story was perfect. I couldn’t wait to read how this story was going too go because how the second book ended, I had too know wtf was going to happen. I was definitely not disappointed, I love how the story ended and I absolutely love, love all the characters. This series will have you wanting to read non stop and have you falling for the sex AF elementals.
I voluntarily reviewed this Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
Not sure how to really put into words what I'm feeling about this series. It had a good story line but man parts were kinda off in la la land. It's says it's a comedy but honestly most of it was almost so stupid it was funny. But again some parts of the book were pretty good so I'm not trying to discourage anyone from reading this. It wasn't bad just not everyone's cup of tea. I loved the guys and at time the heroine but Arizona also had her moments when I wanted to strangle her. So all in all I'm going with 3 stars because it wasn't great but it wasn't terrible either. It had a Lot of potential but just didn't quite make it.
I’m satisfied... I got my closure, everyone that matters is happy and all the evil ppl got what that deserved and the puns are still hilariously good/bad. Lol 😆 though I wish she changed her mind about babies, I’m thoroughly happy with the ending! Great trilogy!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ all the way!
I was a bit over the sex jokes and immaturity. I was also never sold on some of the guys. For example, I didn't think Dustin was cute when he was being an asshole.
As an Australian, I was also a little offended by some of the Australian language jokes. No one uses "cricky" etc., in Australia. The stereotype came from an Advertisement staring Crocodile Dundee. We shorten most words, have strong vowel sounds and many rural Australians have strong colloquialisms but I wouldn't assume all Americans speak the same. The author is Australian, which is what annoys me most about it.
BTW peeing on blue bottle bites is actually something many Australians hear and still believe and they do hurt like hell (blue bottles are really common and they are a small bright blue jellyfish), but they won't kill you, unlike box jellyfish. The Australian box jellyfish are large, super uncommon and only in northern areas but there is always a warning when they are in an area. FYI, the Australian box jellyfish is the most venomous marine animal. However, as a general rule, stay away from anything blue in Australian waters.
Overall I enjoyed the series and plan on reading more by these authors! The characters have personality and incredible chemistry! Anytime they got together, my kindle nearly melted! Lol This last book was my least favorite. It was too meta for me and made what felt like too many comments to make sure we knew the authors were PC about all topics. Whether it was a political or social commentary, it really took me out of the book and made me roll my eyes. After the first remark, I wanted to say I get it. I know where you stand. No need to explain and defend and prove your PCness. But reading a RH where the female has a sexual relationship with 5-6 men at one time (& the men are lovers too) the reader already has a good idea on the authors’ ideology. It’s book 3- why now?! We are here for a fun paranormal smutty rom-com. And cheesy plumbing and pipe puns😉
I really enjoyed the entire series but one thing I did not like in this book was the political aspects. I don’t give two shits who you vote for but damn I read to get away from all that. Especially what I read. But other then that I loved Ari and the boys her humor and the puns had me laughing my ass off and getting funny looks from my man while doing so. “Seriously babe what had you laughing so hard your crying” well hunny let’s go clean out my pipes. Ok but seriously it got a smile on his face, so well worth stealing a few of these puns. What I have to say is if you like reading funny paranormal books this series is for you. 4.5 would of been 5 if not for well you know. Ps if you all know me I don’t do spoilers so pick up the damn book and read it. Ps it’s on kindle unlimited.
I made it most of the way thru, but I wasn't enjoying it anymore. The MC was funny in the first 2 books, but in book 3 she was just annoying. I don't know if by book 3 it was just too much for me (like you can only watch so many Jim Carrey comedies before he's no longer funny) or if something change in the writing that made it less enjoyable.
I started skimming the sex scenes soooo 🤷♀️🤷♀️ It sucks cause this series had so much potential with the plot, like the storyline and idea was great but it just wasn’t executed well at all. Even some of the characters, I really liked, only the guys really, but it just wasn’t enough to save it for me.
The best of the series too bad it was the finale! I loved that the humor was still there but, it seemed even more toned down since I thought it was a bit too over the top in the first book. And I loved how the story wrapped up and damn this was the steamiest book of the series!!
As the story comes to a close, I found it to be rushed and not as enjoyable as the prior books in the series. Still a great series and happy I read it.
Man, I'm surprised I didn't melt into a puddle while reading that book! I mean, hot damn! *fans self*
This book is such an awesome conclusion to and ever more awesome series. It had me laughing from the first couple of pages! There's some serious saucy fun times in there, the hot factor is through the roof. There's tons of funnies throughout the book and it definitely kept me entertained! Out of all three of the books in the series, this was probably my favourite. The story line was amazing, I'd fallen well and truly in love with all of the characters (except for Gem Gem.. and Joan.. Goddamnit Joan!) by the end of the series. Well, let's be real. I was already in love with all of the guys by in the first book, and instantly as soon as Dustin was introduced, but that's besides the point. I loved that there was more sappy feels involved, and I loves Arizona's reactions to it even more! That woman cracked me up. The jokes, puns and sass in the book absolutely made the book for me. Its so darn funny!
I'd likely class the entire seires and one of my favourites, it's that good! I'm gutted this was the last, and the series has ended, but I'll be damned if it didn't make me a hapy nugget. Five stars, fo' sho'!
This series is written by 2 amazing authors and is funny, quirky and lead by a kickass strong but flawed lady. I loved all 3 books which are filled with goofy puns and geeky characters with just enough angst to make you love them. My only complaint is that in this 3rd book, there is a section that is either meant to be making fun of current political times or making a statement about the main character but it falls flat as a joke and makes our strong female empowerment main character (who is strongly opposed to shaming) seem okay with political shaming. No other mention of interest is made in the book of interest in current events so it was just an odd inclusion. This probably would not have be as apparent if I had not read the books back to back. This is such a fun series and honestly, I'm a little sad it's over!
I did not rate this book as I did not finish it. About 30% into the book I just stopped reading because I could not stand Arizona. Granted, she was same like in previous books, i.e. obnoxious, foul-mouthed and hysterical but I guess my cup was full. I could not relate to the constant need for violence, her guys also acted more like wet rags than men, totally not sexy. I tend to finish series that I started, come what may, so this one was a rare exception as I felt my brain cells will start dying if I continue. It felt as if others read a completely different book than I did. Yes, there were funny things, but much of it felt forced. I enjoyed other books by Ms James and Ms Cunich but this series was... unreadable.
The end to a series and while I enjoyed the previous books, this one just didn't cut it. Firstly the political/social rants that the MC went on and on about, completely threw you out of the story. I'm all for empowerment and embracing your sexuality but this was just too much. I thought the last husband Dustin was a complete douchebag and is the term gobshite a term of affection really? I don't think it is. I know the book was tongue in cheek but they made the Aussie characters look like complete yobbo wankers. While there were bits I enjoyed, all the rest of it just threw me off. All in all a disappointing end to what was a fun, humorous series
Loved the premise of this book. BUT I read to escape. There's enough political drama on the news and carried over onto FB that I don't expect, want or appreciate it in the fantasies I read. Don't care who you voted for and certainly don't want to find out through the novels I purchase.
This book was my favourite of the 3 (barring the multiple cringe-worthy acronyms and the copious puns that stemmed from them)!!
I immediately fell in love with Dusty and his agressive, commanding personality. His and Arizona’s relationship really takes a wonderful turn in this book! ”She's as good as dead to me now. You just settle that pretty little arse back and watch how I destroy people that bother me” FUCK ME UP DUSTY! He’s a total hottie. Not to mention a tad of a sap. Okay, well not a sap at all but could still get it. ”I love ya, alright, ye lucky charm little shit”
And George is my favourite, end of story. He is literal perfection and the absolute sweetest cinnamon roll, that I want to lick and climb like a mf tree (pun intended heh)
Arizona had to endure the loss of her bonds to her men and deal with her psycho twin sister, her cunt of a MIL, and her power-hungry bio parents who want to drain her to death… The whole ride was fun, I liked how the Gemma situation really brought that anxiousness and suspenseful feel to the story. Arizona was not relatable to me whatsoever, I found her like, super annoying and dumb. I didn’t really enjoy how she avoided all emotion and resorted to non-witty sarcasm as defence mechanism. I would have absolutely loved to read from the perspective of one of the 7 guys, it definitely made it harder to relate to them or know them on a more intimate level.
I did find the series to be funny enough and it does draw you in with the storyline. Some of the punchlines were hilarious and so sassy, I truly adored that! ”Something smelled fishy—and it wasn't me, I hadn't even had my wedding night yet. No, maybe Gemma had like, a yeast infection or something. Bitch ” The plot is not super complex throughout the books but it keeps you interested at the very least!
I feel like I should mention that I personally found that these books read like someone’s political opinion and I really don’t care much for that; it doesn’t actually give the MC a personality, it just made me feel like the author is pushing their views on me (I.e. trump comments and so on) like, yeah I can agree with that but like, also I read fantasy to escape that bs and don’t want it popping up uninvited into a smutty romance book. K? Thanks.
Either way these two authors are a fave and I’ll gladly continue to devour anything they write!
”If I had to choose last words, they’d be something more along the lines of fuck, I love wine and dick, but only because that’d look pretty sweet as an epitaph. I could imagine the pearl-clutchers now, gazing at my grave in Puritanical shock.”
Fucking legendary.
~3.5 stars~
Sidenote: the fertility novella was super cute but it was annoying and pointless when we don’t even know if Arizona got pregnant in the end! I really wanted them to have kids even though she was adamant she didn’t want them, I’m going to pretend she did for my own sanity.

"Remember: vaginal orgasms are akin to unicorns." "Unicorns exist," George said unhelpfully. "But the reality is, they're a little pervy and kind of mean."
I'm writing this review for the whole series of 3 books instead of each individual book. I waited too long to write the review and can't remember my impression of individual books.
*After looking at my quotes, 3rd book was my least favorite, I was just SOO SO SO SO SO over the drama and constant like action/death her and her mates were facing and the wedding crasher was just so mean and horrible. *
Overall I enjoyed this series. It was fun, not a series to take seriously. Lots of plumber books, especially in the first two books, less in the 3rd. If you don't like puns you won't find these books punny. har har har That said I didn't love the series that much that I think I will ever reread it, but I will definitely check out more books by these authors.
One thing I LOVED about this series and I hope it's something that is in other books by these authors is they were constantly describing the characters, or atleast the guys. It's a huge pet peeve for me to see a physical description one time for a character ONCE and then never again another breath about it. It's even worse in harem books where there are multiple characters. And I hate when it's across several books...like am I really supposed to remember what a person looked like from 2 books ago? It was super refreshing to have constant little pieces of how they looked throughout the books. I wish it was something all books did! Also all of her guys were super yummy and bad ass, so I was totally up for reading about that again and again.
Lots of steam. Maybe a bit too much action for me. The big baddie didn't go away until the end of the third book which gets tiresome sometimes.
I loved all her guys! And her BFF was fun. The books were over a short amount of time though so I felt like it ended more with a HFN instead of HEA even though they are fated mates. I think they just needed a bit more romance development, although the sex was definetly there.
Surely nothing could stop us now! Or would those be my famous last words? If I had to choose last words, they’d be something more along the lines of fuck, I love wine and dick, but only because that’d look pretty sweet as an epitaph. I could imagine the pearl-clutchers now, gazing at my grave in Puritanical shock. Well, I guessed they’d just have to hope that Arizona Smoke-Copthorne-Cornwall-O'Hara-Aarden-MacKenna-Brenton prevailed. Pervs and Puritans, unite!
This is a hilarious book. lots of corny ouns and foul language. a FMC who is foul mouth half drunk all the time and puns for days. sign me up. i couldn't stop laughing. if you are looking for something series with amazing writing this is not it. this is one hell of a good time.
Arizona just got married Legally, To her 6 men and had it crashed by not only the Fae queen but also a long lost childhood friend of the guys - Dusty. Dustin really did a 180 in this book he's still a complete wanker but he's an endearing wanker. He immediately brushes off Jemma and Treats Arizona like the wife that she is.
Joan is a real piece of work and i don't understand how he son and the rest even still want a relationship with her. inviting Jemma to the wedding would have made me go no contact but following them on their honeymoon was beyond crossing a line. and for what? we really never heard what she had to say about it. can you truly hold the fact that Arizona was raised by humans against her. you would think knowing who her parents are and why she was raised the way she was would really soften her a bit but no. the slut shamming also got old fast. does Joan not have 5 husbands her self. was she not all over them when they first bonded? like its been a matter of months since the first book. that practically just meet considering how long loved they are. Joan needs to get over her self. and learning what Jemma thought of Joan at the end was priceless.
i really likes the book it was funny fast paces and the world that the story takes place in is interesting. im sad its over. i love this kind of humor in books. i would like to know more about Jemma. do her and Arizona bury the hatchet? i would also like Brits story too. seeing her paired with 2 alpha viking types would be an interesting story
I went into the series pretty pumped, and through most of the books, I was just waiting on the edge, waiting on the edge, waiting for it to get better waiting for it to get better, it did not get better. I got tired of all the sex innuendo in inappropriate parts of the book. It made it be us serious. And maybe that's what the author was going for but it was one of those things where it just threw the whole book off and it threw the whole vibe off every time you read apart. It was, I get, I just don't get how a 30 you're old heroin. All she can think about as sex. I mean, seriously, they're every part in this book, and he wasn't even good smut, it was just stupid ramblings, the inner monolog. Um, that's really why I don't read a lot of first person povs, because one is just annoying, and it doesn't It's not. It's just not I don't like it. I did not like this, but I did not like this series. It could have been so much better so much. I don't know how much of this book tate james contributed to but, um, I would be embarrassed if it was me.I didn't like it so read at your own peril
The last book in the Hijinks Harem trilogy was such a fun read! Ari and her guys face a huge hurdle right after their wedding, a crazy sister who thinks Ari's harem is rightfully her's. When they all travel to Australia to visit Ari's adoptive mother, Ari's sister and horrible new mother-in-law tag along to make this vacation slightly horrific. Ari is tricked into freezing her bonds to the guys, making them up for grabs for her sister. While the guys are no longer magically bonded to Ari, they still love her and stand by her side. With the addition of a captured bio-mom, Ari and the guys return home, looking for a way to restore their bond and defeat her biological parents once and for all. Its a crazy show down with C.O.C.K., C.U.M., and A.S.S. all playing a part to see who will come out on top :). The end just might've been my favorite part! With they guys continuously dropping hints (well not really hints but statements) about wanting children, we get a fun little surprise nine months later (after the final battle). LOL I love these authors!

I enjoyed the series, mostly. It’s funny as all get out and full of worthy, and not so worthy, puns. Admittedly, some of them got rather old the 15th time they were wrung, but what can you do when the acronyms of organizations blatantly sound out such phallic symbols?? You pun... heavily.
As for the story itself, it was entertaining, but left a lot to be desired for fulfillments sake. This was a sex series, plain and simple - with the added benefit of a not so complex, yet still engaging, plot. I liked the harem and the MC, though I liked her bestie, Britt, better. I do have to question her relationship with her dead Gram though. I mean, seriously... if you suddenly found out you were this super duper magical being and the entire world has rules - wouldn’t you ask the ONE person who literally calls themselves your guardian ghost for a bit of insight? The person who supposedly saved you as a baby and hid you? wtf? You ignore her instead? Uh... yeah, maybe the MC is as dense as done if the other characters think.
5 stars all the way.....Ha I loved it! ❤️❤️ This book made me laugh out loud and cry in frustration. It picks up straight after the cliffhanger of the last book when Arizona’s wedding is rudely ruined by the arrival of ‘Gem Gem’.
Arizona just wants a nice wedding night and honeymoon with her men; without the added interruption of the ex Gemma and her Monster In Law Joan.
There are lots of puns, jokes and tit punches, it’s basically hilarious. Some sexy scenes and action too; this book has a bit of everything. I’m not going to go too in-depth as it will spoil the book and I think this series should be read.
I love all the characters; Dusty although an ass became my favourite character especially in this book. He always had Arizona’s back and I felt they had more of a connection, especially as he didn’t know Gemma from before. I wanted to hate Gemma and I did to start with, but in the end I just felt kinda sad and sorry for her. There’s quite a big reveal to do with Gemma but I’m not going to give it away 😉.
Joan I absolutely detested; that bitch got off lightly, I felt she needed a harsher punishment.
Ahhh loved Queen Dick aka Sara; also the name of the Authors PA! 😂hilarious, great tribute!
All in all I loved this series and was so, so sad to see it end. I know all good things come to an end but Tate James and CM Stunich, perhaps a spin off of Britt and her Alphas with cameo appearances from Ari and the boys? I would love this and hope Tate and CM take notice!
If you like laughs, sexy times, tears, tantrums, bitch fights, tit punches, and general ‘Hijinks’ then I recommend reading this book.

This was just the best series!! The duo of these two authors is really something special! I hope they keep writing together for years! This had to be the best book in the series. Although all three made me laugh out loud many times, this one pulled on a lot of my other emotions too. After being so happy they got married at the end of book two, but shocked by Gemma, at the beginning of the book, I was worried at first, then so pissed! I mean seriously, could Gemma and Joan be any worse?!?! Then I was so sad after the honeymoon. But thankfully, there was always the very, very steamy sex and all the snarkiness and humor that Ari and her six georgeous guys brought with almost every interaction. (And OMG, could Dustin be any hotter?! Seriously my fav book boyfriend right now! Love, love, love his character!) Sad the series is over, but it's one that I'll definitely be reading over and over again!
My least favorite series by this author. The books all have cliff hanger endings and the main character comes off as an idiot half the time.
Since I don't normally write reviews unless I have something specific to say, here's the break down of how I rate my books...
1 star... This book was bad, so bad I may have given up and skipped to the end. I will avoid this author like the plague in the future.
2 stars... This book was not very good, and I won't be reading any more from the author.
3 stars... This book was ok, but I won't go out of my way to read more, But if I find another book by the author for under a dollar I'd pick it up.
