About the author
G.K. DeRosa
83 books1,533 followersG.K. De Rosa has been an avid reader from a very young age. In fact, before she could even read, she tried fooling everyone into thinking that she could. At the precocious age of two, while living in Italy, she had memorized an entire children’s book in Italian and expertly turned the pages at the exact right moments of the story. As she grew up, she always enjoyed literature, no doubt having been instilled with a love of story telling from her early years in Catholic school where she was greatly influenced by exemplary teachers who taught her the value of English and Literature. Though she did not pursue writing in college and instead went for the more traditional route of International Business inspired by her love for travel and all things foreign, after a move to New York City, she found her creative writing side calling once again. She began writing a restaurant review blog, City Lights and Tasty Bites, detailing her other passion – food! The hectic hustle and bustle of the city, combined with long commuting times gave her the opportunity to spend more time reading and rekindled a lost love. After reading countless books in many diverse genres over the two years in New York City, and returning to her home state of Florida, she felt compelled to write something for herself. She had always felt particularly drawn to Young Adult novels and having been an eternal romantic at heart, a fantasy romance was a natural choice. She currently lives in South Florida with her real life Prince Charming and their fur baby, Nico the German Shepherd.

***4.5/5 Stars***
I absolutely loved how Hitched: The One ended. It was everything you could wish for in a happily ever after! But, this book was emotionally the hardest. There could only be one winner, and feelings were bound to get hurt. When Kimmie narrowed it down to two bachelor's, my heart hurt for the one who I guessed wouldn't have a shot at winning. But at the same point, my heart was ecstatic for who I had a good feeling she would pick. It was impossible not to get so deeply attached to either of the remaining two bachelors.
In The One, the two final bachelors got to go home and meet Kimmie's family. They both fit in so perfectly with them, it warmed my heart. Plus I loved that we got to learn more about Kimmie and her family life. And I loved even more that my suspicions and the rest of the questions were answered! So if you love happily ever afters, characters that you can't but fall for and reality tv then you should definitely add this series to your tbr! I'm so glad I picked it up and I'm excited to devour the rest of this author's books!
PS I'm SO excited that one of the contestants that didn't make it to the end got to be in a spinoff series called Darkblood Academy. I can't wait to read it!

I do love them all, but in different ways. There are some I can’t imagine my life without and others that though parting would be difficult, it wouldn’t be life-ending. I want the all-consuming, heart-shattering kind of love and as unlikely as I thought it would be, I believe I’ve found it here.

I knew it! No spoilers but I definitely guessed correctly for the Top 2 and who would be the winner. So happy though because it was my pick. Some interesting curve balls in this book. Some I saw coming but not the full picture. My biggest complaint is that I wish the book was longer! I want to know more. The book gives you a satisfying ending but leaves enough little loose ends and hints that could mean a spinoff to the series. That's my hope! I definitely recommend this series. Excellent beach read.

The final chapter for Kimmie-Jayne has come and now she must decide which bachelor is hers forever. This book does not disappoint in endings.
I think some of things I enjoyed the most about this final installation to the series were the things that were masked in mystery, or barely mentioned at all in the other books. Like I felt there was something more to the story there but wasn't sure until it was finally put out into the open. The fact that, in the last decision round, there was the option of was actually something I pondered while reading the first books. I am glad it didn't work out that way though. I enjoyed the explanation about her dream sequence that happens in the beginning of the second book. Not going to lie- that stressed me out.
Honestly, this ending was everything you hoped it would be- happily ever after- and then some. Plot points exposed and twists that lead to more exciting explanations. Over, it was an incredible series and am looking forward to seeing which Bachelor gets the spin off series. Paranormal romance readers you will enjoy this fun, quick read series.

This series was a supremely decadent yet fat free indulgence!
Kimmie is now left with five supremely hot guys:
Twin brother Dragon shifters
A Guardian Angel
A Fae Prince of the Winter Court
A Demon, son of Lucifer Himself
Now that the family visits are over, Kimmie must eliminate three more bachelors to leave herself with the final two. How can she possibly choose when all five have captured her heart?
Once she’s left with just two bachelors, Kimmie takes each home to her family. And at last, all secrets are revealed. Who wanted Kimmie dead? Who was behind Hitched, and who never wanted it to air? And most of all, who will Kimmie get her HEA with?
The more I read this series the more I liked it. This book was full of action, and there were quite a few twists and turns I never saw coming. Of the two bachelors left, Kimmie picked the right one, thank the gods! Though I will admit I wished she had gone with a couple she had eliminated earlier.

Kudos to the author for pulling this series off, even with my heart, as well as several of the gentlemen's left behind, left in shatters. Its so hard to feel elated with an HEA when you watch some of your favorites leaving with nothing. I will say the author did a great job not only tying up loose ends but allowing the final decision to make sense in the long run. The newer reveals in this last book really threw me for a loop. It seems our Kymmie wasn't just a randomly selected up and coming actress...
I see that there is another "Hitched" series upcoming with one of our Bachelor's that we didn't get to know as well as I would have liked. Knowing that some more HEA's are on the horizon leaves me with hope for Bachelor #2 that got shafted there at the end... I hope his HEA isn't far behind. /sob!

Gah I love this series! So sad that Kimmie-Jayne's story has come to an end. There were several twists and turns in this book that I did not see coming. I love that GK Derosa always keeps me guessing. Not to mention I'm happy with who she ends up with! (Was definitely rooting for him.) I am also excited to see how the author expands the world of Azar in her Spin off series: Darkblood Academy.

***don't read on if you don't want details of book***
I knew Fenix would be chosen . I absolutely adored him and ever since Lucifer mentioned the bio dad thing I knew right away she was half supernatural ..although I did think he might've been behing the sabotage and not actually turning out to be a decent person .
I want to know more about the happy couple and know if her vision came true and of course if there is more drama with the integration!
This book definitely kept me enveloped since the beginning of the series .
Such a great love story with all the twist and turns you need as to not make it gaggingly overly romantic lmao .

This was a cute little series, however I must mention that the ending of this series was a bit anticlimactic to say the least... it seemed to me that the author got a little lazy in the end. But thanks G. K. DeRosa for the HEA!

So this is it folks, the conclusion to a whirl wind romance for Kimmie-Jayne and her final two bachelors. We join her shortly after the penultimate ceremony where she learns that she will get to go home so the boys can meet her family this time! And in true Hitched style nothing goes to plan or even close to the plan. Unfortunately Kimmie's dad's heath takes a turn for the worse and skeletons come out of the closet as a result. Will Kimmie be able to gather herself together in time to choose 'the one'?
Once again, I was on the edge of my seat while reading this story. There were a few twists and turns in the plot that we didn't see coming and one massive nail-biting decision. The second book does drop some hints to us and once you read the third book you have that "ahhhh" moment that you kick yourself for not seeing sooner. The descriptions are up to par and the continuity is superb. The way the book reads is like it never ended -so there's no wondering of "did I miss something".
Once again, Kimmie has grown even more and is not the same twenty year old girl we met in the first book. The boys have really pulled through and you do tend to fall for them a little bit more as the story progresses throughout all instalments. To be able to see the actual family dynamic of her life is fantastic. We get a real sense of who she is and why she has done the things that she has. I think in this series she finally becomes an all around character and I am so glad that we got to see it.
This series will definitely be staying on my shelves for further reading. Its an absolute gem that will put you in a carefree mood and make escape from reality fun again.

This series was SO much fun and it was exactly what I wanted it to be. I'm very pleased with Kimmie's final choice as I was kind of rooting for him since the first book. I also liked that this story wasn't only about falling in love - it also dealt with exposing the supernatural world to humans and the assembly of supernaturals who would eventually vote on whether or not the show should be aired.
I need to read more from this world.

This is a fantastic series. This is the last book in the series. Who will Kimmie-Jayne pick. This last book is just like the rest of the series. There are lots of twists and turns. You may want a box of tissues. This series is epic. I hope to see this series on Netflix or the movie screen because I feel its an Epic series that the Author has made a homerun on.

What a fantastic end to a great series no spoilers but I just knew kimmie would pick these two hunks for her final two loved these books had me on the edge of my sit thinking I knew who was causing all the chaos and trying to kill kimmie but I was way off great end to these books

Love love this series and hope it has some spin offs lol the suspense and surprises continue and we finally find out what future Kimmie picks. I received an ARC for an honest review

😭😭 major book hangover!! What an amazing ending! I just love how everything comes together! I’m so sad it’s over, I’d love to read more about Kimmie-Jayne’s journey ❤️

These were just what I needed—frothy fun. Plus, she ended up with the guy I was rooting for!

The first 3 books in this series were fun, light and ridiculous (in a good way). But I really didn't enjoy this final book very much, unfortunately. It just couldn't hold my attention.
April 27, 2019
Ahhhhmazing! The conclusion to the Hitched series does not disappoint! I was captivated from page one and couldn't put it down. Kimmie-Jayne had quite the decision to make, but she couldn't deny her heart of hearts.
The world building in this series is spectacular. The characters are varied and unique, and the bachelors? Yum.
Don't miss this one, folks.

In the forth book, we are down to the final two men. Who will she choose to be the one? Honestly, the answer is very, very obvious. This book (or any other in the series) didn't move me or change my life as a good five star would. It wasn't an amazing read, as a good four star would be. It was just book candy. Something fun to read that didn't make me think or really have to focus to know what was happening. Read this if you like: Reality TV, Magic, Human who is not human

Perfect ending
This ended up being a great series. I felt each and every relationship Kimmie had. The author wrote in a way where you felt Kimmie's conflicting emotions with each bachelor. The ending was smooth and I am happy there will be a spin-off. However I would love a series that has the bachelor's not chosen, where they find their own HEA. I really became attached to some of these men, like my Latin vampire lover, and I want him to find love. Although this is the end of the series, I hope the author is not done with this world. I am glad I gave this author a try and she will be then on my must read list.

I was looking forward to reading this since I finished the last book. I did enjoy this series as a whole & felt this book did wrap up the series well, but at the same time I felt a bit of disappointment with some of Kimmie-Jayne's actions in the final book. She was so strong & a generally a good person thru the series, to suddenly do what she did in one scene with one of the bachelors seemed to go against character. I can't go into it, because it would be giving out spoilers for the story, but it did take some of the surprise out of the story at that certain point, leaving the end decision a no-brainer knowing who she would choose in the end. It does give an HEA for the happy couple, and a satisfying ending in general. I did enjoy all the 5 final bachelors, and was really torn between them as much as Kimmie-Jayne seemed to be, I guess that was why I was disappointed that the events led to a reveal to the reader who would be the final pick before getting to the actual final pick in the story. Overall, this was a great series.

This series is just so much fun, and is such a whirlwind! Kimmie-Jayne has been through absolute rollercoaster rides, but she's lucky enough to come out in one piece in the end. This book was a continuation of a really great read, and was extra interesting because it included a home visit to see where Kimmie-Jayne grew up. What she discovers on that trip changes everything.
I was really pleased with her final choice, because it was who I've been rooting for since book 2! I'm so excited to read about what their newly-wed status will look like.
I highly recommend this series for anyone looking for a fun and easy read, stocked full of romance, fun and adventure. This is the perfect kind of read right before bed while snuggled up in the sheets.

A great end to the series which leaves hope for a spin off set of books about different characters. I think that most people that read these books will be happy with Kimmie's final choice, I was. We found out who is responsible for the "accidents" and upsets in the previous books, all the questions are answered and the mysteries solved. I have enjoyed every book in this set and this one certainly delivers everything you could want from a series finale. The only downside to this is that the series is over and I don't have the next book to look forward to. I am seriously hoping that GK takes pity on her readers and writes a follow up about one of the unchosen, because I'm really going to miss those guys.
April 12, 2020
I was really really hoping KJ would somehow have a better character arc or any growth and I didn't see any. She found her love and thats great but I wish there was more to her. Sure, she found a goal better than being a movie star... but what is it??
The political mystery ending was amazing and the bachelor's growth were all fantastic, I honestly wish it was more centered around Elrian or Fenix at this point. Elrian, in my humble opinion, had the most growth out of everyone.
SPOILERS BELOW
I did in fact enjoy the series but I was left wanting on KJ's end. She went in wanting to be famous and then ends as a wife of someone pretty significant and has a reality tv show, specials, AND a famous dad? I'm really disappointed with her ending, as she was the protagonist in the story.

Kimmie has found her one, and I am so glad she picked whom she picked. He is definitely the perfect guy for her, though I will admit I did go back and forth between the two bachelors at first. They’re both just so sweet with so many things to offer, but in the end everything worked out as it should, and the right guy was chosen.
Aside from Kimmie making her final choice, there were a few more twists and some big reveals to keep my eyes flying over the pages. Ms. DeRosa has truly created a wonderful world in her Hitched series, filled with drool-worthy book boyfriends, and twists and turns to keep you wanting more. I can’t wait to see what she writes next.

To be honest I'm conflicted. You see I really enjoyed the first three. Nothing too bad. I even assumed some stuff that was confirmed later. However, I had to skip a chapter or two. It didn't go into detail but it was enough to know what was going on behind closed doors. I don't read sex. I like the story line. SO I jumped over it. I knew some of the last twists because somehow she had to be more than was let on. Anyway, pretty good storyline. Hot guys, just not good two sections. Just my own opinion.
June 6, 2019
I was hooked on the Hitched series from the very beginning, and this final chapter was everything I hoped it would be. It had one of those endings where you just sigh happily and smile. Plus, it was full of suprises, shocks, and twists and turns that at times made me gasp out loud. I love that kind of a story. The only thing I can say is that I will miss the characters. I would love to have in-depth stories on the remaining bachelors. The world that GK DeRosa has built can just expand so much, and I look forward to reading all the stories that she writes next!
