Always a sucker for the bodyguard...
A nice addition to the series and one I really liked just like Quinn and Xandy's story (I think still my favorite). Nothing too dramatic and it really could have been but instead took the sweet road with a slow then super fast burn. Only question I have is what happened to Katrina...she was there and then nothing. It's like Remi ghosted her that's just not right. Looking forward to the Memphis story though

I have said many times how I love this series. And this book made me love it more. Wynter and Remington go prefect together. I laughed every time Wynter was in the same room with Remington. I love how in each book the the group adds a new friend. Sherryl is killing it with this series. I really had one question and another reviewer brought it up to. What happen to Katrina? Remington doesn't seem like the type to love them and then leave them. Ok off to read In plain sight. I definitely recommend this book.

10th Book!
I give this book 4 out of 5 stars. Obviously love this series because I've managed go read 10 books thus far, and I'm sure I'll continue to read as long as Sherryl writes. The only thing that irritated me up until this book was the lack of ethnic diversity in the characters, but this seemed to give me a bit of what I was looking for. I also don't readily agree with the authors view of ”2 types of lesbians " being either butch or femme and no inbetween. The labels irritated me somewhat. I did feel that Harley from book 9 broke that mold...somewhat...and she remains one of my favorite characters. I feel that I should have connected with Remington better than I did, but something was lacking in the depth of her character. Otherwise another great book from the author. I'd recommend reading the whole series in order to get the feel of each character couple and their back stories

just one question... (some spoilers)
i loved the book, but i have one question... what happened to katrina? when remi and quinn are out talking while wynter takes a bath, she tells quinn that she can't go there with wynter because they both have girlfriends. even with all the drama of the videos and the press, not a word from her. so when did she break up with katrina? did i miss that part? i'm so confused lol

WOW!
Again the storyline is amazing and it had me hooked from the beginning. I love how the bunch of friends is growing and that each book has a great ending. If you haven't read the previous books than I suggest you start with the first. However, each book can be read as a standalone because each installment is a complete story and no cliffhangers. I hope that there will be another one soon because I can't get enough of this series. Well done and I highly recommend it.

Really enjoying this series!
All of the books in this series are good! The women in each book are amazing and truly interesting! The storylines keep drawing is in and we can't wait to read more! Remi and Wynter are the newest additions to the group and their love story is interesting to say the least. A singer and her bodyguard, how could this storyline go? Read Sherryl's book 10 and find out!

very good book!
I liked the book. It was different from the others which made it interesting because of the new plot even though we had same characters. I enjoyed the plot twist per say.

Easy reading book again. This one got us out of Calif with a Music Tour course with a couple of bodyguards.

Great book and great series. I love being able to follow the lives of these ladies and see how they live and deal with life issues. Can’t wait for more.

Finally, a good black character, but...
I am of two minds with this. I really enjoy this authors grasp of language and cultures in general, and this is displayed yet again in this novel. They must have either done a lot of research, been well traveled, have diverse friends, or some combination thereof.
That said, there were some parts that felt a anti-black, such as they way the antagonist's flaws are framed on Black American culture, such as the critical air around her use of Bitch Better Have My Money for a fight song... That song is about black women reclaiming their power from theiving white men who think they can take what they want with no consequences. It was literally a song Rihanna wrote after her white male accountant drained her bank accounts and ran with the money. It's a power song and would make a great fight song for any Black MMA fighter. Just because it's written and preformed in the colloquial AAVE dialect doesn't make it less powerful.
This is just one example of subtle anti-blackness featured in this novel. So while this book does a good job of featuring Haitian Creole culture in a really beautiful and positive way, it continues to disregard and demean Black American culture in subtle ways that stand out to the Black American reader, and that could easily subversively influence the minds of readers who belong to other demographics.
While I don't think it was intentional at all, I do believe that this type of subtle anti-blackness is the single most dangerous form of racism in America. It's that subconscious belief of blackness = danger that dehumanizes us, and can mean the split second difference between our children being perceived as children, or being shot down in the streets for pulling candy or cell phones from their pockets. It seems like a small thing when you're just binge reading romance novels, but this pervasive imaging from every direction in our media infects the minds of people, police and civilians alike, who have the power to end Black lives with no consequences.
To the author - What you write matters. Black lives matter.

In the plus column for this book, first black lesbian in the series about freaking time! I started this series with high hopes. It's one of the few running lesbians series out there but quickly I realized the stereotypes smh, they Drive me off the wall. What's with all the heteronormative relationships. two where are all the minorities are there no blacks, Asians Latinos I mean 7 out of 30 in West Hollywood. three if she says another variation of (blow her breath out) one more time I might jump off a bridge!!! four are there only 5 professions in the entire world that lesbians work at! 5 no way in hell there's a group of 30 lesbians bffs just chilling about with no drama I don't believe it and you can never get me to believe that. Other than that I like the book and I'll probably keep reading just because there's not a lot of other good lesbian fiction out there besides erotica. shocking to say that gets old pretty quick. I'd like to see a collab but where she doesn't add any new characters but have the group go about doing something together. Like their pride trip could have been a perfect example of a stand-alone book, or the earthquake scenario or the Vegas trip could have been a great standalones. Writing from everybody's point of view in one book might be a bit rough though, but I think it could be done

I'm going to say that this might be my favorite volume of this series with this beautiful character that is Remi. Good manners and family values are very beautiful characteristics that more of us should have. It's unfortunate that most believe that its old fashion? why can't we just be kind and thoughtful and not be something that is rare but more of the norm? I'm glad that Wynter is finally with someone that can see her true beauty too! Not to much drama in this one, which was a nice change of pace and one that I personally liked.
Now if we can only have characters that are just themselves without being "Butches" that smoke and are into cars as not all are and "Fem Lesbians" that are not all girly girls as they to are not all like that, I personally would appreciate... I'm just saying?

The other books in this series (aside for 2, 3, 4, and 8) didn't give me the wow factor as much as this one did, I really felt drawn to the characters more than in the last 3 books of the series. I'm going to be upset when this series comes to a close (if it ever will). I love Hancock's use of some well-known, and some lesser known songs to help with the characters in some serious scenes, it helps to lighten the mood a bit. I'm seriously hoping Hancock will continue finishing up this series and maybe coming up with a nice new series with new and different characters, filled with all the heartwarming endings that I've grown to look forward to.

As usual I loved the characters and their chemisty. Hancock does an amazing job. Still curious what happened to Katrina though. Maybe it will be addressed in the next book. Usually Hancock does not seem to name the character without closure even if it is in another book. Also don't think we have seen the last or Lauren. That is one of the amazing things about these books is that they just roll from one to the next without effort. Even the non lesbian books flow with these. All the books are connected with amazing characters. Next please!

Remington LaRoche' is a wonder; kind, polite, gracious, gallant, a woman of few words. She will kick butt. Retired and trying out the bodyguard field. Kashena's her good friend. I enjoy reading how the group of law enforcement women meet weekly at The Club to catch up and just have fun. Wynter Kincaid is an overbearing flirt with an enabled substance addicted abusive girlfriend; that never seems to go away. The tour throws Remington & Wynter together and I enjoyed the story the tight writing and I can't share anymore because it'd spoil the read for others.

Nice follow up book for this series
Another good addition to an entertaining series with interesting characters from various backgrounds, personalities, situations & experiences.
**SPOILER ALERT **
OK— I gotta say, how Katherine got done in this book just kinda rubbed me the wrong way a bit. She deserved better consideration, or at least recognition. Hopefully she'll get better treatment in another story.

This is the second time I’m reading this series and this couple is yet my favorite along with Jericho and Zoey. They are just the ones with more chemistry to me. Remington is absolutely amazing and I fell in love with her character. I agree with other reviewers questioning what happened to Katrina, was a bit disappointed for the fact she didn’t get any closure but other characters that I don’t feel deserved closure got it in following books.
I found this book extremely sweet!

Another fine installment in the WeHo series! I just can't say enough about the Author and the way she intertwines the characters throughout the series. I love it, the story lines are so relatable. This could be anyone's circle of friends who are family and their love for one another is as large as the sun. I look forward to each book and have reread the entire series 3 times!

Needed more editing
Didn't bother to finish it because the writing felt like reading a teenager book and it wasn't what I expected. The intimacy was fade to black and not good lesfic. Not my genre at all.

As I read this book I was drawn in. I felt I was right there with the characters and not just the main characters but also the supporting characters. I laugh, cry, get angry and feel the love thats written on each and every page.

I really enjoy this series. I find all the women in their different quirks and personalities to be incredibly fascinating. I really hope the series continues.

She draws you into the characters. You know them well it’s like hearing your best friend tell you stories about her life.

Good read
It was a good read but never finished the plot with the girl Remi was seeing towards the beginning. She just kind of “fell off the face of the earth”.

This is a very entertaining read. A bit cheesy but still fun! It fits in well with the WEHO series.
