Or will Savvy's roots force a wedge too big for love to cross? To Love is to take a chance with your heart, and with eyes wide open, find the essential element to make your life complete.

When her best friend, Savvy, asks Febe to find her brother-in-law, Roscoe, she doesn't think twice and accepts the challenge. Though going undercover wasn't at all what Febe expected, will it be worth risking her heart or even her own life? Will Roscoe turn his back on his family and the whole world as well? Or will Febe and Roscoe have a fighting chance to support each other while recovering from unhealed wounds life has inflicted?To Live, To Love can be read as a standalone.

Honestly, at this point, I'm not even surprised. I mean, Esther never disappoints with her stories. Always gives what your heart desire.
TO LIVE has interesting start. It piqued my interest and I didn't lost it until the end. Earle... He made me smile all the time. He was just delightful. Earle was a cuddly teddy bear all his life, and then Savvy comes into his life and hes a growly bear. Love those. I'm writing this and I'm grinning like crazy, remembering some of his sayings or thoughts. Lol. Like I said, Early made me smile and I just wanna to hug him.
TO LOVE has a different vibe then To Live. Of course we are talking about Roscoe here. If you read previous books, you know what I'm talking about. And if not, what are you waiting for?!
Anyway, after the years working undercover, he needs something bright in his life. Clue in badass Febe. She's perfect for Roscoe. Loved their banters. And that first chapter... Holy cow! That scene... OMG... I loved it! *Fans herself*

This book is about two brothers from the swamp heads books Earle and Roscoe.
To live (Earle)
I have been waiting for Earles story. Fell a little bit in love with him from his brother Zekes book, he just needed a shower and then he was good to go. I just knew that he was going to make my toes curl. And that he did.. oh he did. He is now a rugged, clean alpha male who know exactly what he wants. And is not afraid to take what he wants. He have a heart of gold. When he meets his lady she is in a bit of a pickle. And he steps right in and help her land on her feet. I mean who doesn’t what that kind of man.
I know I do.
His lady. Well she is a proper lady. She is not who you think she is. You all most read to find out what I mean.
To Love
This book is about Earles mysterious brother Roscoe. We have heard about him in this series and me it was great to finally meet him. To hear his side of everything. He meets his lady in a rather odd way. He knows what she is to him when he meets her. He is a dream in tight leather. I have a thing with bikers. And I have a thing about strong women. In this book I get two of them. Brilliant.
Absolutely one of my favorite couples.
So my conclusion is. You all need to read this book. And all of the other in this series. It is not necessary to read them to get into the story but you understand more of the story behind everything.
This book is once again a 5 star read. As always. You can’t go wrong with Esthers books. She is a wizard with words. I just love love love her books and writing style.

I'm going to be completely honest, I cried a little bit when I started reading this read because I knew that it was the ending of a wonderful series but I'm also satisfied that the last two remaining brothers, Earle and Roscoe got their happy ending too!
They each met their match and soul-mate in two strong women who also happen to best friends. Each couple have to go through obstacles and situations that put their connection to one another to the test but they conquered and were able to live happily ever after <3
I was also so happy that Roscoe was able to reunite after so much time apart from his family :) This was a great ending to an even greater series by the talented and incredible author, Esther E. Schmidt :)

Oh wow! yet another awesome read from Esther, not just one story but two in this book. This ties up the Swamp Head series and boy will I miss these characters. Heavy and light, dramatic and fun all the way through the series has been a real mix of events and emotions, the last two stories are no exception. All the family have fallen fast and furiously at first sight, Earle, who has always been the gentle soul and teddy bear is suddenly all growly and possessive, I absolutely loved it. It had me smiling every time, he was also so accepting of everything as the truth came out, no blame. I found it to be a sweet read but still has the depth and interest, the I must stay glued to the pages feeling of all her books.
The second story is Roscoe and I think in a lot of us fan readers this is one we have all been waiting for and dreading at the same time, firstly waiting for, because Roscoe has been the illusive character heard of but not really seen, lost to his family due to his work, missed by them. Dreaded because I think we all knew the series was going to end with his story, as much as we wanted to hear it we didn't want it to end. Well Esther did him justice, gave him the right woman for his needs and so much more. I am not going into detail or dropping any hints to spoil this, suffice to say I Freakin Loved It. Esther completely did it again and blew me away, outstanding book ending a fabulous series.

Reading this was bittersweet. I have enjoyed this series. They were funny, touching and heartwarming. A close knit family a bit backwoods but so loveable.
Each siblings instalove story was different and amusing.
To Live
A bit of an unusual start but grabbed my attention and the sweetest of stories played out. I loved watching their immediate attraction and her internal turmoil. She was definitely not a girl who lives in a swamp.
To Love
Saving the best for last we finally get the "elusive" Roscoe he has been mentioned in other books, blew into town and pissed everyone off and disappeared again in one. Now we see him in action we see what is up and we see him connect with a fiesty woman who is pretty much his female double, she knows how he thinks. I loved it their sexual tension and bickering was awesome! Until it was too much and they fell hard and fast.
So now I am sad no more new Swamp Head stories. I will miss them.

Two Happily Ever Swamp Afters in one book!!
I have wanted Earle's book so much and I am not disappointed at all. This story really drives home not to judge a book by it's cover, that things are not always what they seem. The thoughts that Earle had made me giggle more than once. I get a pretty good idea of the kind of guy he is right from page one. I loved it and the fact that Roscoe knew just where to send Savvy!... and Roscoe's story, sigh. The guy has given his all to his job and just wants to finish this last one and find some solitude but then the curse happens! What curse you ask? Well if you start this series from the beginning you will hear all about it and how it happens to each member of this unique family.
I think the author did a fantastic job with this series, each book connected but completely able to be a standalone and each one a different genre. Looking for some INSTAlove? head into the swamp!

I've loved this series since the beginning and it's bittersweet that it's coming to an end. To Live is Savvy and Earle's story. Sent away because of threats in her life, Savvy goes to the one person she knows she can trust.
To Love is Roscoe and Febe's book and we finally get a look at the mysterious brother who has always lived in the shadows. That is until Febe enters his life and throws it a curveball. I hope everyone shots this series like I have. I'm so glad I got to know these amazing siblings.

I love these two stories..so very different but both kept me glued to my kindle.
To live is Earle and Savvy's story. Savvy is being sent somewhere safe by Roscoe until everything that is going home is resolved, and that place is where she finds Earle. They didn't think they find love and she def didn't think she would love the swamp. Savvy tho is not who she says she is and sooner or later Earle will find out..and then what will happen?
I liked both characters and the story was very sweet and steamy too.
To love is Roscoe, Earle's brother, and Febe, Savvy's best friend. Roscoe is undercover and Febe can't help but get herself the same job and help him out. These two are dangerous and they might be in danger, but the sparks between them are real.. can they get out safe and sound? can they really make a life together or was it only work?
I def adored these two. both stubborn and both workaholics, but even lonely and broken souls need someone.
I am very very happy with these stories and even then I still want more!

I have to say since the ending of the previous book, i have wanted Earle's story. And i wasn't disappointed. I loved every freaking minute of it. I definitely pictured him as a loving cuddly lumberjack type of guy and man when Savvy came into his life he turned into a growly protective lumberjack. My favourite story ❤❤
Roscoe's story i didn't know what to expect. The brother that we didn't actually know alot about. Living in the shadows but also kind of looking over his family! He definitely got the right women in Febe. He definitely needed someone like Febe in his life. I loved their stubborness, I loved their chemistry, I loved their banter and man the sparks flew when they were together.
This was a great ending to this series, but also a bit sad. I loved every book in this series, and getting two for the price of one, definitely Awesome!

To Live, To Love were great stories, well written with strong plots that were filled with many feelings, they'll take you on an emotional rollercoaster. Earle and Savvy, Roscoe and Febe, they were strong characters, strong fierce women and strong yet sweet protective, possessive obsessive men.
The attraction was instant between each of the couples, their connection was strong and their chemistry was sexy and sweet. They were great together, completed each other.
These were great stories, it was a great ending to this series. I enjoyed it. I'd suggest reading it.
Thank you, Esther E. Schmidt. Great work :)
5 Stars!

Esther writes so many amazing stories and this one or two is no different. I hadn't heard of The Swamp Head series until I was given a copy of one of them. I fell instantly in love with it and then consumed the entire series. This double book, the end of the series, draws you in completely with the strong characters, the fast paced storyline, the angst and passion.
To Live, To Love held me captive. I devoured Earle's story. But I was completely enthralled by Roscoe and Febe's raw, hot, insta love connection. A fitting way to end this great series.

Save The Best for Last!!
I’m so sad to see this series end but I’m glad that Earle and Roscoe finally got there happily ever after!! Earle has always been the happy go lucky brother. While Roscoe has always been a mystery. Savvy and Febe were there perfect match. Little bit of suspense and a lot of fun.

This is the story of Earle & Savvy, Roscoe & Febe. I enjoyed all the characters & the story line, but felt like the ending of the first part was a bit rushed, and we miss out on getting to see Roscoe & Febe getting to know each other while they're living together as she recoups. Overall it was a good, quick read, though! : )

Loved it
Finally all the siblings have their happily ever after and Roscoe is home. I loved both of their stories. Febe is the perfect match for Roscoe and Earle and Savvy are so cute together.

It was truly hard to say good-bye to this family. I'm heartbroken but this book, these two brothers and their story, it was absolutely amazing!
If you have read this series, you know that Earle, in the beginning was a slob, never took baths until his new sister-in-law said she wouldn't hug him until he took a bath! He has cleaned up his act and now, well he finds a beauty digging through his trash for something to eat. Surprise, she is there to find him! She's lost everything and was scared, but Earle convinces her to come inside and get a real meal and even offers her clean clothes and a shower while her dirty clothes clean and dry. And coffee!!
She hands him a note from his brother telling her to find Earle. He would protect her. And the family curse hits him right in the heart and he knows, he will protect her and make her his because he has just met his soulmate. But she is hiding a secret, one that only his soon to be sister-in-law Laudy knows. And Savvy, well her secret is one that could end what is building between her an Earle. But when her best friend Febe shows up to take her back home to clear her baby sister's name, she has only time enough to write a note to Earle to let him know she will be back. Febe see's how her friend feels about Earle and is happy that she has found happiness her and calls Earle telling him that he has a certain amount of time to meet them at the private airfield and join them if he really cares about Savvy. Her secret is out and now she waits to see if her future with the man she loves will come to fruition.
When Earle slips Febe a note to give to Roscoe whenever she sees him, she jumps in feet first into the case that Roscoe has been working undercover on for some time. Walking into a biker's bar, announcing that he is her old man, Roscoe has to prove that fact in front of everyone in a sexual way. He's confused but the way her kiss affects him shakes him to his core...the curse! But he has a job to do and now he has to make sure that whoever this woman is, he needs to make sure she is safe as well..the she whispers that Earle says hi and he knows something is up. He also knows that this beauty stirs something inside of him and when they reach the clubhouse, they have to find a way for her to deliver a message from his boss...things are about to go down at the clubhouse and he has a very short time to find what they need to take this club down.
Rosco's story ends the series and I absolutely loved how Esther brought the family closure. All of his siblings and his parents have welcomed him back with open arms except one, and that's the one that ends the hard feelings and brings this family closure and back together. He's missed this, he's missed all of his family, and now with the help of Febe, he has what all of his brothers and sister have. I don't want to say good-bye!!! I want more! The first book of this series was my introduction to this author and I have scooped up everything that she has written since that book. I loved this series hard, and I cannot recommend it highly enough!

I knew the end was coming for this series, but I’m still sad to see it end. I’ve been waiting for Roscoe’s story forever!
Savvy is on the run from something and someone who is making it known that her world is easy to infiltrate. She’s sent to another place to keep her safe and hideaway. On her way there, she has a few mishaps that leave her wandering about while trying to figure out what's next. She didn’t expect Earle to be the knight to save the princess damsel in distress.
Earle has loved his life on the swamp his whole life. He’s from a big crazy family who makes life interesting, to say the least. He’s had some ups and downs but finally found some peace with his place in the world. Just when he thinks all is good and quiet, someone trips along his path that is need of help. A princess needing a knight to save her.
Together, they learn not only how this whole love at first sight thing really works but just how easy it is to feel like you’re finally home.
Febe has been on the path to be the savior for so many for a very long time. She’s been the confidant for a certain royalty forever it seems along with being the brave one to protect those ar4oudn her.

I remember the first time I picked up this series. I was a newbie to this author and thought the warning on this series was a little strange. The idea that this series was about swamp men finding their loves, full of instant love and a unique language, gave me pause as to if I would really enjoy this series. It seemed too out here for me. I decided to give it a chance as I had really enjoyed the author’s other series. I am SO glad I did because there is something so unique, so wonderful and so heart felt about this family that I devoured each story with gusto.
This duet is a bittersweet ending for me as a beloved reader as it is both the perfect example of this series and contains the reasons why I fell so hard for this family (these men).
To Live: I have been quite intrigued with Earl for a while now. He was written (in the other books) as more aloof but in his story… yeah he might just be my favorite brother. I really feel like carving a heart in a tree with our initials. E + E = FOREVER!! Earl was so fun and sweet and he gives everything to his woman. The humor in this story was great and I enjoyed the sugary sweet dialogue (I snorted when I learned Earl’s nickname for his love). I could not have loved this story more! It is so very perfect!
To Love: Now, Roscoe has been a bit of an enigma for that past few stories. He was always there just on the outside and that made him a mystery. In this story I got the answers I was looking for and a kicka** heroine to boot. I loved the dynamics of the romance and the lines they spouted were priceless. As much as To Live was sweet and sugary this story was defiant and bold. I loved two hard personalities coming together (well as hard as this series will allow).
No spoilers here, but if you are a fan of this series this duet is a must read. I loved every page, every laugh and every swoon. I could not have chosen better books to end this wonderful series. I had the extreme pleasure to read an ARC and I am leaving my honest review.

While this was a perfect ending to this series i’m also sad that it has ended. I’m hoping at some stage esther might do a follow up with a next generation of this series.
Loved Earl and Savvy how they come from two different worlds but find a love so pure. The trust they showed each other for different reasons e.g. The trust savvy showed him to keep her safe without him knowing the full story of why she ended up being sent to the swamp. And the loyalty he showed her he had in his brothers reasons for sending her to him to keep her safe.
I loved this quote from Earl and Savvy’s story
Tear them up and... take a dirt road. You might get stuck, you might find stones to pave a cul-de-sac, or you just might find a highway leading to the best destination life has to offer.”
To Love
Oh god Roscoe story was everything I hoped for and more.
Roscoe and Febe were perfect for each other they were like fire and ice. I loved how she walked into his life and rocked it to the core, in more ways than one. Yes he was an asshole but he's an asshole who went above and beyond to try protect those he loves even at times when it seemed like he was putting them at risk he had his reasons and that reason was to let his family be with the ones they love.
Febe was feisty as hell and definitely the perfect one to melt his ice cold exterior from all the years of undercover work.
if you haven’t read this series yet i really hope you do because each book in this series will give you all the feels and have you falling in love with both male and females characters.
Another amazing five star read from esther

I just love the swamp heads. I hate to see this series come to an end. But who knows, maybe they will pop up here and there down the road, I sure hope so. Ms. Schmidt has given us a very well written, exciting conclusion with the last two brothers, Earle and Roscoe. If you’ve kept up with the story, the family believes you’ll know you “one and only” at first glance. Earle is anxiously waiting to find that kind of connection like his siblings and parents have. As for Roscoe, the mysterious brother who works for the government, he just wants to do his time and find a place near his family and be left alone.
Earle and Roscoe’s stories overlap, which I am sure is why Ms. Schmidt decided to give us their stories in a single duet release. The stories are full of laughter, suspense and of course romance. They are very well written and will keep you on your toes and smiling throughout. You can’t help but feel like your right there watching the action in person as these heartfelt storylines unfold. I don’t do spoilers so I’ll simple say grab this one up.. You won’t regret it
While all the swamp head books can be read as standalones, I strongly suggest you read them in order. They are all insta-loves and each book, while connected to the swamp and family, are written in their own genre. This is just a great series with characters you’ll simply fall in love and laugh with. Kudo’s Ms. Schmidt for an awesome conclusion to this crazy swamp families story/series. 2 Thumbs Up and 5 stars.

I love this series and was so excited to read about the last two siblings. This book is actually two books in one. It is about Earle and Roscoe and how both find their loves. Earle knows that someone has been eating out of his trash. He can’t accept that so he waits to see who it is. He never expected to find a woman or for her to mean to so much to him to fast. Savvy is on the run. She isn’t who she appears to be. Earle and Savvy are from two different world but will they be able to find a way to make it work.
Roscoe has been away from his family for a long time. He has made sacrifices for his job and put his family in danger in the process. Now he is back and must find a way to move forward and make amends with his family. Febe is asked by her friend Savvy to help find Roscoe and help him. She accepts without a thought however she doesn’t expect to be so instantly attracted to Roscoe. She doesn’t have an interest in romance but life may have other plans for her. Can these two find a way to be together?
These two books are amazing and I loved them so much. Really love all of Esther’s books. These two books wrap up the swamp heads series. I am sad to see the series end. I love these characters so much. I love that the characters from the previous books always make an appearance in the books. These siblings are amazing. These books are instalove books. I can’t say enough about the series but it is a must read.

What an incredible way to end this amazing series! Both these books/stories fit perfectly together. I was so happy that Earle and Roscoe finally found their soulmates. In the first part of the book Earle finally gets his happily ever after and boy do i love the things that came out of Earle's mouth at time. "Great. Talk about farting the confidence right out of me" Died laughing after i read this!! Savvy was the perfect match for him and even though she was hiding something from him I completely understand her reasons. Plus I knew it would not stop Earle from being with the love of his life. Roscoe had always been a mystery to me throughout this series and I am so glad I finally got to read his story. Roscoe had in ways lost himself while working as an undercover cop. I felt for him especially how he thought he was not deserving of things. Can i just say when Roscoe and Febe first meet hot hot hot!! Febe was a strong woman who could relate to Roscoe and showed him that he is deserving of love and family. The way the book ended was brilliant and I loved how Zeke and Roscoe resolved their issues! I am sad to see this series end but what a great way to end it Esther!!!

I really struggled with rating this book, but finally I came up with about 3.8 total stars. I love Ester E Schmidt’s insta love short stories and I’m a huge fan of the swamp heads series but I wasn’t a fan of earle’s story I felt like a lot of something was missing. I couldn’t get into it I found my self constantly putting the book down..... I can hardly ever put Ester E Schmidt’s books down so this was a surprise. Don’t get me wrong there was so really good parts just not enough for me.
Now on to Roscoe’s story. Every thing I love in an insta love story fleshed out enough that it didn’t read like a short story but didn’t give you information overload. And boy did Roscoe give me the feels. I just want to hug him. Febe was bad ass I just wish we had more time to see just how bad ass she could be. She is just so perfect for Roscoe and the way she handles him had me giggling. These story’s are definitely worth the read.

Swamp Heads Forever
*** ARC provided in exchange for an honest review***
Once again Esther is an author who never disappoints and even though you get the final two books they are so different that you fall in love page after page.
To Live is Earle’s story and I adored it. Earle is a protector at heart and when he first meets Savvy he’s see’s what his family has been talking about. That love at first sight is real and he’s smitten from their very first meeting. He knows that it will take time taking it slow to get her on board but with a man determined it’s bound to happen.
To Love is Roscoe’s story and it’s fire from him and Febe’s first interaction which melted my heart and almost made me combust. The chemistry between the pair is undeniable an there is no hope that either will ever be able to let go. They are a force to be reckoned with and will probably bump heads a lot but in the end all’s fair in Love!

This is amazing twofer!! The perfect kind for any reader. Two stories for the price of one. This is the last instalment of Swamp Heads. I wish it wasn’t true but it is.
To live is about one brother and a little lady who is on the run, but has been sent to this brother for safe keeping. But can she safe guard her heart from the family curse? Does she even want to, but her family obligations weigh heavy on her.
To love is the final story for the last brother who is also the oldest. He has led the life of a warrior, protecting his home and family. Doing the right thing even when it burns bridges and makes things tough for his family. Can he forgive himself enough to let his family heal him? Or will maybe his new lady friend help with that.
Esther has not disappointed us with the final story!
