Infamous: Cade and Hailey Duet Book 2
The emotional conclusion to Cade and Hailey's story that began in Notorious!
We tend to hurt the ones we love the most, even if we don’t mean to. Cade March knows that all too well, and now Hailey does too.
For the first time in his life, he loves a woman enough to make things right. Whatever it takes, Hailey’s worth it.
And for the first time in too long, she’s willing to take a chance because what she feels when she’s with Cade makes her truly happy.
But what happens if his past never goes away?
Pulbisher's note: Infamous concludes Cade and Hailey's duet. It is not a standalone, though, since their story begins in Notorious.

Emotional & heartfelt conclusion
INFAMOUS is the second book in the NeXt series and the second in the duet involving Cade March and Hailey Canton. Their story kicks off where Notorious concluded, and K.M. Scott takes her readers on an emotional ride.
"Who he was before he met me, even if he was that person just days before, doesn't matter. It is who he is now I care about..."
Cade March is sometimes his own worst enemy. His lying finally catching up with him at the conclusion of Notorious. With Hailey heartbroken and her previous insecurities once again returning, Cade has only one route to follow ... he needs to start being honest. Can he convince Hailey that his heart belongs to only her, or will her insecurities ensure she pushes him away?
"She just needs to hear the truth. That's all. Tell her the truth and it'll be fine."
Cade and Hailey don't have it easy. Outside influences throwing obstacles in their path ensuring their relationship is a battle of emotions. I enjoyed their relationship, especially after Cade's honest admission to Cassian, he lost the weight of the world after that ... he became freer. The banter, the fun, the heat - all ensuring that this was an enjoyable read. While both suffer from a broken heart, due to misunderstandings, it is their love for one another that is at the true core of this story. I love how protective Cade is of Hailey, how he spoils her and just how he likes to be near her.
"Read any great books lately? maybe we could try something from one of them."
The bad boy has been tamed; the good girl has discovered her naughty side - K.M. Scott gives everything with Cade and Hailey. There's laughter, tears, frustration and anger, emotions pulling together to create a wonderful story. Their love for one another is beautiful to watch ... nothing or no one will keep them apart.
Once again other member of Cade's family play important roles in this story. Cassian's advice and Stefan's acceptance of the man his son has become are important to Cade, just as important as Hailey is, and Ms. Scott show this in such a relatable manner. INFAMOUS is yet another superb read from K.M. Scott. Now to wait for Ravenous, part one of Cash March's story.

Can an infamous bad boy convince a sweet as pie young woman that she should take a chance with him? Especially after what she sees at the end of Notorious?
Sweetheart Hailey has been hurt in the past, and has trust issues. She says she’s not the type of girl that Cade needs in her life, and even though she feels that way, she is so attracted to him that she wants to give him a chance.
Notorious bad boy, Cade, has found the woman he was meant to be with. He’s so attracted to her that he can’t stand to be away from her. But it seems like the karma that others warned him about in the past, is intent on making her believe the worst.
This story started in “Notorious”, and when that book ended, it seemed that what they both wanted, was not in the cards for them. What happens when outside forces continuously push against insecurities from previous hurts, and make Hailey feel like Cade is not being truthful? Will they be able to overcome these hits that keep coming at them? This book is excellent, not surprisingly considering it’s a KM Scott book! It’s is well written, with some characters we know, as well as a group of them we get to know here! It’s 100% worth the read... and I know you’re going to love it!!

How amazing was this story!!! The conclusion of Cade and Hailey's story had my heart pounding! We pick right where we left off in book one. I adored Cade and his heart. Hailey may be shy, but she will go after what she wants. I freakin' loved it these two!
KM's writing always takes me away into her world and I never want to leave. I loved revisiting with our men from Club X and now that their kids are grown, just blows me away. And then the twist of betrayal.. OH MY!!
I love the covers for this duet, I love the angst level that will keep you on your toes, and the heat factor just blends in just right. If you have not read the Club X series, that is alright, you can read this duet on its own. But I guarantee you are going to want to know more of what went on in Club X!
Infamous is a must read. You will get sucked into Cade and Hailey's world and you will not want to leave! I can't wait for more of this new book world! #BookRec2021

"Infamous" is the second book in the NeXt series, and is the continuation of Cade and Hailey's story. Cade is now suffering the consequences of his lies and half truths, he knew Hailey had trust issues but that didn't stop him and now he is paying the price. He has to get Hailey to trust him again but Cade doesn't know where to start. Hailey is a sweetheart, a fantastic dessert maker, and a woman whose heart has been broken before. Can she learn to trust the infamous Cade?
This book is full of romance, love, passion, and family. Misunderstandings fueled by others, threaten to keep Cade and Hailey apart, but will their budding relationship survive?
I really enjoyed this book and cannot wait for the next one in this series. It is so much fun watching the original men from Club X, interact with their children, especially Stefan and Cade because they are so much alike!
I highly recommend this series, it is not only fun but will also keep you flipping those pages to find out what happens next, I know I did.

Oh did K.M. Scott knock it out of the part with the second part of the duet. The push and pull between Cade and Hailey is perfect, the level of angst and passion. I think what I really enjoyed about this book is how much these two stood up for themselves. Be it with family, to each other or to people who try to tear them apart. Cade is fighting so hard to figure out what he wants in life. Hailey is so scared to get hurt that she lets her insecurities surface but with good cause.
The concept of these two is just everything. It felt like you were watching a movie play out while reading because the fluidity and the flow was just stunning. The build of these two was perfection. I honestly could not get enough. Seeing that fire in Cade to finally explain why he is struggling to Hailey trying to figure out where she belongs in his world. But so much so that these two just belong together. I am dying to know more about the cousins!

Cade is very familiar with his past and how others perceive him but from the moment that he met Hailey he knew that she was special. The aftermath of his actions have hurt Hailey but he is determined to show her that what they have is strong enough to overcome anything.
Hailey’s past has ensured that she is cautious when it comes to her heart, but Cade managed to break through her walls before she realized it. Right or wrong she isn’t certain she can believe in him and what they have together, and she must decide whether to follow her head or her heart.
Cade and Hailey take us on emotional journey as they fight for their love and the future they can have together. Even though they made some mistakes alone the way their relationship emerged stronger for everything they had to overcome.

Book number one was a ripoff
Book number one and two together would have made a decent really good book and I would have given it five stars. But I don't like it when authors put a lot of filler in to make two books out of one. Of course the first one is free but you end up paying full price for the second to finish the story. And to me that feels like bait and switch. So I won't be buying any more books from this author. And I didn't finish the first book that had four stories in it all of them being the first story of several parts. And I didn't finish it because I knew those were going to be cut in half and leave you hanging so that you have to go buy more. I buy books when I like the author story. This story I would have bought more from this author had she not tried to force you to do so.

Infamous picks right back up where Notorious (Book 1) left off, and it's the conclusion to Cade & Hailey's story so you have to read them in order of course. Hailey is a girl who has a ton of trust issues, but she was learning to leave that in the past with Cade. However, Cade seriously has this issue of shooting himself in the foot, so he makes things a lot harder than they need to be. I mean the outside forces who aren't happy about them definitely did some damage, but it was the way he handled it that made it worse, and Hailey's starting to revert back into her insecurities so he has an uphill battle to show her that she's the one for him. Will Cade be able to finally put all of his cards on the table to win the girl?! You know what to do to find out! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

This is the second book in this amazing series by this author. This is the continued story of Cade and Hailey, same lovable characters as first book. This story picks up straight after book one Notorious finishes. This book is full of romance, love, passion and family. This story is the perfect mix of angst and passion. This book will keep you reading long into the night. This is a fantastic addition to this series.
I was given an advanced reader copy of this book and this is my honest review

Children of the Club X men. This is my first time reading their children's stories, and I'm looking forward to it. The first character we meet is Cade, who is Stefan March's son. His father Stephan tells him he needs to become more involved in their club after he is rich beyond words. Cade cannot resist Hailey when he meets her. Cade lied to Hailey about his job...he made her think that he owned the club where he works. Even though she's honest with him, Cade still lied about his job. In the past, he tried to sabotage each relationship he had, but he didn't want to do that with Hailey, so he lied instead. When Hailey catches him dancing with another woman at the club, he knows that his lies have caught up with him. Cade and Hailey's story ends on a cliffhanger in part one.
April 16, 2021
Cade was breaking though Hailey’s carefully placed walls, she had no reason to not trust him, until she did. Starts straight off where Notorious finished.
Everyone had warned Cade that he needed to not lie, he needed to be honest. Again, and again things happen that keep pushing Hailey’s insecurities. Hailey has to decide if things aren’t always what they seem and take a leap of faith, because for the first time in a long time she’s truly happy.
Every time something comes up Cade is so convincing, but can she trust Cade with her heart.
Cade knows he wants loves Hailey, but everything seems against them, can he make it right before she walks away.

I already loved March & Jackson clan in Club X series and now I can't wait to read stories from there kids.
Lies follow Hailey and Cade like a snake but love and truth always wins. And they were meant to be from the start. They are like jing and jang, completing each other. They fit perfectly together.
And I love the love for books Hailey have and uses what she reads to spice up sex (I think every woman has done it 😉).
Throwout the stories you can see how the whole clan is connected and watch each others back.

Infamous by K.M. Scott is book 2 in the NeXt Series. This continues the story of Hailey Canton and Cade March. So, you really should read the previous book 'Notorious' before starting this one.
Hailey fights with her insecurities towards Cade. Cade knew that he needed to be honest with Hailey but sometimes had been as much as he should which as we learned hurt their building relationship. This book working to get to their happy ending. I am of course a fan of this author's writing so I do recommend this book/series.

Cade and Hailey are growing closer together. Her work is looking up when a famous food blogger wants to have her guest on the blog. Cade’s dad forces him into a job that he doesn’t want.
Opinion
I liked this second installment. Cade and Hailey have such authentic reactions to what’s going on in their lives that I feel like I know them.
While the next story is about Cash, I hope we will get to hear more from this couple.
Many thanks to Bare Naked Words for providing me with an ARC of this book.

Not the story I was expecting, but that's not a bad thing in this case. Hailey's and Cade's story picks up right where Book 1 ending, so if you haven't read it, I highly encourage you to start there. I loved the character development and the overall story, and now I'm curious how Cash is going to fall in love. And I really hope Alex and Meadow get a story!!!
Please note that I did receive an ARC of this book, and the opinions expressed in this review are my own.

This is the second book in The NeXt series, and the conclusion to Cade and Hailey’s story. The story continues where the first book left off. Hailey is lovely, and caring, but she has trust issues. Cade is handsome, and determined. They share an undeniable chemistry. The storyline is emotional, filled with drama, and miscommunication, I love the family bonds in this series. Looking forward to read Ravenous, the next bok in the series.

A Great ending to Cade and Hailey's love story.
I loved the ending of this love story. Cade and Hailey are made for each other. Cade learns that he needs to be honest to keep Hailey from running away from him. It is so nice to read about the Club X children. Looking forward to all the other stories. This series is a great summer read. I recommend the whole series.

Infamous is the second book in the NeXt series. It is the second book and the conclusion for Cade and Hailey. What an emotional rollercoaster! I was so drawn into this book and it did not let me go until I finished. I found myself rooting for these characters, even when I was totally frustrated with them. I love K.M. Scott's writing and I am loving these books. I can't wait for more from her!

Again, eh…
I don’t know what it is about Cade and Hailey’s story that just didn’t speak to me but I just couldn’t get into their story. They seemed a bit childish with things they said and did and it just lacked chemistry. It seemed the story was all over the place and just didn’t keep my attention.

Great story, Cade March has such a reputation, sadly it keeps ruining things. Creates doubt. Hallie, keeps walking in at times things aren’t as they seem. Throughout story, many challenges, yetHallie and Cade overcome. Loved this story.❤️

Cade and Hailey were in a good place until he messed up by telling a lie. Hailey has trust issues because of her past. Can the couple overcome their issues to stay together? A good read and conclusion to the story.

This is not a standalone, you must read Notorious before you dive into Infamous. I promise you, it well worth it!
Cade had no idea he would be in this situation. He was doing what his dad asked of him and now he may have risked the love of his life. All for what?
Damn twins and their antics. Cade does not want to be that guy anymore.
Hailey is the sweetest woman with a heart of gold and her whole life ahead of her. She is blindsided when she sees Cade at the bar. Could this be the end of a perfect match? Will Hailey have the strength to see through the fog and find what truly matters?
This book will shred your heart and gradually put the pieces back together. Amazing writing and wonderful characters!

what no wedding
It seems like there should have been more to this story. Even though the drama was placed with the male character it still needed more. So glad Brooke didn’t get away clean she was a jealous bitch in the worst way.

Oh.
