Houston's Finest #3
Wanting to Love You
Ten years ago, Becky Waters fled her hometown and moved to Houston, heartbroken and pregnant. After a long and contentious fight with her parents and Child Protective Services to get back the son her family stole from her, she finally has everything she’s ever wanted. Her life seems like it's finally on the right track until the father of her child shows up, demanding to know why she hid the existence of their son from him for so many years. As old hurts are brought to the surface, the feelings Becky has fought for the last ten years return with a vengeance. Can she forgive and forget, or will she let the past ruin her chance with the only man she’s ever been able to imagine in her future?
Reese Petrov has spent most of his adult life alone, licking his wounds after the devastation of a first love gone wrong. He’s focused on his career and nothing else, keeping everyone in his life at a distance. When he moves and meets his new partner at the Houston Police Department, he’s unexpectedly forced to face the one who got away. As he fights for a place in Becky and his child’s lives, a family tragedy brings him to his knees and forces him to realize that letting people in is the only way he can survive. Can he learn the lesson quickly enough to rebuild two of the most important relationships in his life?

Guys, this was a bitter sweet ending to a series I didn’t realize I would love so much! Becky was like Carlos in being an instant favorite for me in book one. And so to see her story in her own words this time was awesome. Add in Reece, all large and stoic and sexy and serious and we have ourselves a drama! Yes it was hella angsty, and it was a little painful. But it was also super gratifying and sweet and moving. Also as someone who has a brother and a cousin on the spectrum it was really nice to see a family dynamic in play that reminded me of childhood and the worries and processes that make up an autistic home.

I have so much love for this book!
The love story is hot 🔥🔥🔥🔥 and so intense, emotions are shared and obstacles overcoming in such heart warming ways.
There are some life challenges that you don’t see or hear of often brought up and shared through this story is such a respectful and wonderful way.
I look forward to reading more of Erin Rylie’s books

In the great words on Joey from Blossom – WHOAH. Yep, that’s right, we are back for more hot cop romances to send my heart into a tizzy. Buckle up comrades, my bearded man is here! I gotta admit, this is probably my favorite, looking back on the Houston’s Finest series, because Wanting to Love You had me swooning like crazy. Everything leading up to Becky and Reese’s story had me aching to get my hands on this gem…
Now now, on to my favorite human, Becky. Seriously, Becky has been my hugest entertainment throughout most of the Houston’s Finest series, so tickle my pickle in a tizzy, I was beyond excited for her book. Her personality was hilariously charming, witty and down right blunt. Unfortunately though, my favorite character was slightly heartbreaking to see that her dynamic did a one-eighty. Wanting to Love You I knew going in was going to be deep, I knew it in my bones because tits there was a cliffhanger that just set it up perfectly. So I knew that Becky would have more serious attributes towards her temperament, but truthfully it was as if we had a brand new character, still believable and beyond relatable so not in a bad way, but just different. I still loved her attitude, how she was strong willed, kind, and had one hell of a back talking mouth, but again, she lacked that finesse that made her fall head over heels for her in the beginning. I do think what irked me the most too about it was that Charlos, my least favorite character in the serious had a point of really taking her spot light; he was the new sarcastic, quick shooting comeback Nelly and I needed that to be the same Becky.
Then we have the deliciously bearded man meat Reese. Whew. Okay, I know that secretly I should have loathed him, but the second he said “Becs” I was obsessed. I was beyond thrilled to discover the man who broke Becky’s heart in high school. Oh the little flashbacks made me love him more. He had this brooding, serious attitude about his character’s dynamic that just screamed ‘Climb me like a tree’ – just amazing. But in all seriousness, he had a great character complexity. He was straight thinking, thick minded and perhaps a little dash of cuddle spot. Reese was simply charming.
Oh but wow, their reunion?! Is it just me or is it hot in this room? Melting off the chair good, let me tell you. I really enjoyed their chemistry. I am a diehard fan of arguing leading to sex so when these two were arguing, the sexual tension literally radiated from the pages. It was fun, entertaining and downright scrumptious. How they dealt with their feelings as well was done so beautifully, it seemed to flow with their connection. I also enjoyed that there was a drama affect towards their rekindling but it did not overwhelm the romantic development.
Speaking of the drama though, there was a slight thing I need to mention. Just my personal pet peeve, maybe not even really a peeve, but for me, though I enjoyed the fact that there was not a lot of clogged up, useless drama added to the plot, I still felt that very little really explored Becky’s parents. We got flashbacks of her childhood, we know that her parents made sure to take away her child, and that they had a hand in driving Reese away… other than dishonorable mentions, they were basically non-existent. Though to be fair, it was slightly a good thing I suppose, I think if there was more additive of that angle it might have been pointless drag on, but maybe I would have liked to see something more from that dynamic nonetheless.
Overall, I enjoyed it. There were obviously points that I personally think could have been developed more or taken towards a different additive, and I also really wished that more of Becky’s personality from the first two books had been more adamant even in Wanting to Love You. She had such a fun, entertaining personality that made me laughing throughout, but I still adored everything about her! I think the ending was done really well, I felt like the closure with Reese and his mother was simply, quick and really sublime for the nature of their relationship. And again, I really could not get enough of Reese and Becky together, they seriously had a fierce, passionate relationship that was really the topping to this series. Being a debut series, I applaud Erin, and I am excited to see what comes ext from this author.

*I received this ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review.*
I enjoyed reading Wanting to Love You. I've been waiting months (5 months to be exact) for this book. I have wanted to know about Becky and Reese those long months and I finally got this book. I was happy I was able to get an early copy. Needing to Love You ended on a cliffhanger so it made the wait that harder. I am seriously a sucker for second chances romance and I do not even know why. I guess I loved the angst in them and the thought of all those years the couple has lost and this one had a secret child too. I devoured this book in one sitting and I have to say that it was my favorite of the series. I enjoyed Hating to Love You and Needing to Love You but Becky and Reese's story was so emotional and powerful. The fact that they were torn apart by selfish people in their life made me feel for them that much more. I thought this story was handled well. The pacing was perfect and nothing happened too soon for all the things Becky and Reese had to unpack. I loved that once they got together they stayed together. There were no more breakups after that.
I loved Becky. She was one of my favorite characters throughout the series but I did feel like she was more serious and subdued in her own book. I understand that the situations were different and she wasn't the free-loving and wild single woman she'd been in the first two books. Some of her spunky attitude did show in this book and she made me laugh on a few occasions. I loved how strong she was and how she always put her son first. She fought for him for years and once she got him back, she made him her whole world. I loved how blunt she was and how she didn't keep everything in. She and Reese had it out pretty early in the book. I loved Reese. He cared so much and loved so hard. The things he had to deal with were so hard but I was happy to see when he and Becky finally reconciled. I loved Ryker so damn much. Erin did an amazing job portraying a child on the Autism spectrum. He was a precious kid and it was so easy to fall for him. I loved being able to see some more of Rafe, Sophia, Carlos, and Kelsey. They kept the story light and gave some comedic relief when things were so serious for most of the book.
Wanting to Love You was worth the wait! I had a blast reading it and I am so glad I had the chance to read the Houston's Finest series and get to know these characters.

I think is about to be born an author who writes a plausible story of second chances ... Always the same old excuses or "I'm not good enough for her" or "her parents blackmailed me so I left without a trace" in this book is the last case. Then he just disappears and of course she was pregnant, of course she tried to call him and his family after he disappeared but no one broke the news and the bastard still blames her for not warning him even after years. But helloooooo you're a fucking cop, YOU could have called or at least explained why you were missing, but what does he do ??? Just look at how original our author is:
"It wasn’t until he had sat down at his desk that he realized his thoughts had drifted straight back to Becky. He’d spent years trying to scrub thoughts of her from his mind. He’d dated other women, worked out daily, and thrown himself into work in an effort to completely forget her. He’d been relatively successful until he’d moved to Houston. Ten months in this damn place and he was right back where he’d been ten years ago."
Now SHE has had to spend all these years fighting in court for having their son back. Then as always, the same sexist shit in which a man cultivates his wild vein while a woman gives up her life. And let's not forget that he just returned to town because of his mother's illness. But hey! We still have the icing on the cake !! In less than a week what does our ZEROIN do ??? Of course she has a furious sex with him WITHOUT USING CONDOM !! Yep, this shit again! Sometimes I feel like I don't even have to write new reviews anymore, I should do as the authors, just copy and paste, change some details and voila!

First of all, congrats to Erin for finishing her first series!! Okay, so on to my thoughts! Well, this book hooked me from the beginning! I stayed up till 1:30 am without realizing it, because I was so immersed! I loved Becky from the beginning. I liked the glimpses into her and Reese's past as well as the present. Becky was fierce, strong, and loveable. Reese was an instantly likeable guy too. I loved their fire and passion! Also I still love Carlos! He's just so loveable and hilarious. I liked seeing the crew from the other books too! Although this is a series, I think you could jump into any of the books, since they're each about one couple. But like read them all, because they're all good!! I liked that the book gives us POV from Becky and Reese, it helps the reader know them each better. I also really liked Ryker and how his autism was written. It felt real, and authentic to an actual autistic experience. (Obviously not a portrayal of everyone's autism experience; it's just showing one character's life.) I liked seeing how Becky dealt with being the mom of an autistic child, and how she learned what worked and what didn't with Ryker.
Overall, this book is a fun and sexy read, with characters you'll care about! It's gonna suck you in and possibly make you stay up far too late! If you're a romance fan, I highly recommend this whole series!!

This book is packed with the same humor and smut as the first two in the series. However it holds a more raw, real, emotional, and intense story line. This is the final book in the trilogy each following a different couple. Becky and Reese have a love so deep it left me emotional. My favorite part of this book was the teenage flashbacks. Erin knows how to pace everything in a way that is truly just perfect. Becky and Reese were intensely in love in high school. But unfortunately Becky’s powerful and abusive parents separate them. Becky goes through pregnancy alone, gets her son taken away from away, and nine years later gets custody again. Reese is new in town and invited to his new partner’s party. Walking in to see Becky and realize he has a son. The book takes off from there where many things come to light. Becky’s & Reese’s son has Asperger Syndrome as does Reese’s brother so there is representation there. Which I feel Erin handled with care and tenderness.
The first half of the book I thought yes they’re definitely my favorite couple of the three. Having finished the series I now honestly can’t choose. All three books were brilliant. I’m not a big romance reader. There’s particular stories that interest me but I tell you what I can’t wait to read more romance from Erin. I’m so excited to see what she does next.

I really enjoyed Wanting To Love You. I have been anticipating the final book after reading the previous two companion novels early in the year. All year I have been in a weird reading funk but theres something about Erin's books that just pull me in and I have to binge them and Wanting To Love You is no exception. I loved this second chance romance. It feel like it was more hard hitting than the previous books I have read by Erin Rylie with part of the theme.
I loved the couple and loved the look into the lives of the other two couples from the previous books. One thing I have to note as fantastic is the representation of a child with Autism. I think Erin did a fantastic job from my own knowledge of Autism.
Overall I really loved the Wanting To Love You and I cannot wait for more books from Erin. She has been firmly cemented as one of my auto read authors.

Wanting to Love You is the third book in the Houston’s Finest series, and let me just start by saying I absolutely couldn’t wait for this book, I loved the first two, but with the way the last one ended I was absolutely jumping out of my skin with excitement waiting for Becky and Reese’s story, and as with the first two Erin Rylie did not disappoint!
Becky and Reese have history, a lot of it, after being torn about 10 years prior to the beginning of the series they have a lot of issues to sort through. Erin Rylie wrote this storyline in a way the broke my heart with the couple, and then put it back together. These characters were wonderfully written and well developed, and without giving too much away the character of Ryder was awesome!
I highly recommend this series, and while I am sad that it is over, because Carols, I have enjoyed the ride!

I can't help but notice the secondary characters personalities change wildly when it comes time for their own book.
My biggest disappoint(mental shrieks of WHYYYYYYY) of this book comes in the form of flashbacks. I was so afraid that these space wasters were going to continue every other chapter, I'm relieved to say they stopped after a few. Mind you they should have stopped at a prologue, but I'm assuming there was a word minimum.
Which sucks so much because there was so much potential here that went ignored/undeveloped. I'm glad Carlos and Rafe came back to shine. But come on man.
Final book was a little bit less of everything, and a bummer to go out on(I'm not talking about the bittersweet plot either).
It just felt like the third book had the most potential material plotwise, and instead of diving in it opted to splash around in a puddle.

It's more a 3.5/5 kind of books ... :)
I have followed Erin on bookstagram for quite some time now haha her feed is always full of fun and inserting bookish stories. I was (and still am !!!) happy when I heard she took her chance and published her own BOOKS !!! I had to have them, devoured them and spread the love <3
The Houston Finest series is well ... gets where it set ? haha and she describes the lives of "hot" police officers and their loved ones with funny witty banter and LOTS of bookish/modern references.
My loves goes to the first book, where it all started <3
If you enjoy a cute sweet funny sexy romantic series, just pick this one ;)

I think this was the perfect ending to this trilogy. It was not like the other two books. It was more serious but still fun. I absolutely loved Ryker and as a person who has taught many special needs children, the accuracy with which Erin portrayed Ryker touched me. I wish I could have more of Becky and Reese honestly. Their story feels like one that could continue on to another book because there’s still so much that could happen. This story has a place in my heart and I am so much better for reading it.

Oh. My. God. What a fucking rollercoaster ride. One moment I was laughing out loud, the next I was crying so hard and then something cute came along and I was all like ahhhw and that is a summary of how this book goes. It was so good, I wanted a lot more than what we got, I didn’t want it to stop.
The relationship between Becky and Reese is rocky, I mean duh, they’ve been through a lot, but now Ryker’s part of their story too and he is SUCH a cutie! I just can’t say anything else but I loved the relationship between Becky and Reese as well as both their relationships with their son and friends and Reese’s with his family too.
I loved this book and am definitely recommending it! Erin is one of my new favorite authors and I can’t wait to read what she has in store for us next!
4/5 stars.

Ah Reese! Another great book in the series, I will be sad to see these characters go, especially Carlos, he’ll always be my favourite! I especially loved Ryker and Jesse in this story, as the mum of a son with autism, it was great to see characters on the spectrum portrayed this way. It was a very enjoyable read.

Best book of the series 👌

There are no words to explain how much I loved this series! Erin is such a gifted writer and delicately tackles difficult subject matter. I was so impressed with the way she wrote about Carlos’s struggle with addiction. I was anxiously waiting on Becky’s story as it was such a shock ending in the last book.
Erin did not disappoint! Becky and Reese are so sweet as teenagers and torn apart at a crucial moment. Now Becky’s finally gotten Ryker back in her life. It’s heartbreaking to watch her struggle with loving Reese but keeping him at arms distance to protect herself and her son. Erin does such an ahhhmazing job tackling autism and the struggles of parenting.
It made my heart so happy to see Rafe and Carlos there for Reese. That friendship is so unique and I loved Reese noticing how great it was to have that in his life.
You need this book you need this series! I need more Erin Rylie! Total fan girl for her!
