Gah ... my absolute favorite couple is back with a new sequel ... and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Again, Ms. Klide kept me enthralled and holding my breath with the new events and developments in Siri and Aurei's story. This book is an emotional roller coaster ride, too, and had me vacillating between sadness, laughter, excitement, and happiness ...
Apparently I can't get enough of Siri and Aurei's love, no matter what Ms. Klide concocts for them, no matter where the journey takes them. Ms. Klide's writing style is impeccable, magical and captivating from beginning to end. I would be really sad if she decided to end their story here, though I would understand the decision after all the years of writing HARDCORE entertainment at its finest.

What a journey this series has taken us on, this is book 12 in The Hardcore Series …. I won’t say final book in the series because I am still hopeful
I loved every minute of this book, to see Siri and Aurei complete in their life is heartwarming. The twist in the book has you hoping for a certain outcome (I won’t say anything else) and Siri’s finale performance is perfect!
Bravo 🙌 to an amazingly unique series that will always hold a special place in my heart!

Family First by Jessika Klide is the conclusion of the story of Aurei and Siri. So happy that these two have completed their life journey. There are some mildly shocking surprises, some twists…and unexpected situations. But, overall, just a nice, sweet, expected ending….kept me entertained and a good ending for these two!!
I am volunteering to leave a review for an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Loved this book and the author. I have read most all of her books and they are great stories and characters. It was so good to get to know Siri and Aueri s story. I would recommend this and any of Jessikas books.

Loved. Loved. Loved.
Could not devour this book fast enough. You will laugh, have tears, fan yourself and be on pins and needles during the unexpected twist. Your heart will be heavy one minute and soaring the next.

I loved how Aurei immediately told Siri the urgent news from Mia, she supported him 100% and made sure he would do the right thing. No matter what happened if the child had been Aurei’s or not, Siri and Aurei would have stayed strong. I loved how Siri exited her career in Las Vegas and kept her focus on the most important thing in her life, her family.
This book took us full circle as Aurei reflected on the last model he photographed in Italy before he met Siri. As I read it, I thought back to my initial thoughts about Aurei and realized how much he had changed, so much so, that I had forgotten how he was before he met the love of his life.
This book really brought Siri and Aurei’s love story to completion in the best way.
I received a free copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Siri and Aurei Moores marriage continues even though there is the threat of another baby out in the wind. Remember, Aurei/Maximus was a manwhore before he met Siri.
I enjoyed the family dynamics but mostly the strong woman that Siri is and how secure she is in the relationship. Even though Aurei was anxious about telling her, her instincts kicked in and she knew what his dilemma was.
There is a happy ending for Siri and Aurei.

Does not disappoint
The conclusion of a unconventional marriage comes to an end. The family has come together to continue the love Aurie and Siri have for each other and their extended family. Aurie is faced with the possibility of being the father of a child from his past as a photographer of nude models. Could he possibly have more? Happy ending.
