Rutherford Aston the fifth. FIVE ASTON. FIVE. FIVE. FIVE. FIVE. FIVE. Yes, big bold shouty caps are needed because Julie Huss finally delivered everyone’s much anticipated story of Five and his bombshell princess, Rory Shrike. And boy oh boy did she deliver!!!

301de8f5acd8f6f1c4ed766b4e0d24 You, Five Aston, are the meaning of happy for me. And I have been kicking myself for six years, cursing the Big Man with the Wishes, for not telling him I want me to make you happy. ”

Bravo! Thank you for Five and Rory's story! Thank you for every single word of the entire series!! Julie Huss never fails to bring the goods. She promised the greatest love story and boy did she deliver.

Five and Rory were destined for love and greatness, however those things, although predetermined by the stars, were interrupted by lies, corruption and secrets from before they were born. It didn't matter, they never would let go of the dream of their happily ever after. This story is told in 2

I've been waiting for this one. Probably expected too much. From other books, I pictured Five as a brilliant bad ass, but he wasn't really. The relationship with Rory was sort of mushy with a lot of raw sex. They have known each other since they were toddlers and declared their everlasting love when they were kids, so we had flashbacks instead of an actual building up of a relationship. For me, that's never as much fun. It's okay. But not as good as others in this long series. ...more

The love that I felt between these pages was I love that I have never known before. The man that I thought Five was was so much more than I thought. This love story between him and Princess wasn’t straight from a fairytale book but one out of flaws and heartaches. Lies and deceit. The necessary evil it takes to protect that one you love the most from the world you despise.

My brain was not mentally prepared for Five. My heart wasn’t prepared for how much love he has for Princess. There were so m

I discovered JA Huss after she wrote and published The Rook and Ronin Series. I did not get a chance to go back and read so my first encounter with the mysterious Five is in the Mister Series. He is an enigma that is for sure! Five cannot be read as a standalone as you need to know some background before reading. So you are warned!!

From a young age Five Aston knew he loved Rory Shrike and one day they would have their happily ever after. But he would also discover at a young age things are not w

One of the hardest lessons of growing up is that sometimes the promise of love outshines the realization. The promise is all about the nerves. That giddy, swoony feeling. The uncertainty. The rush. And the possibilities. All the possibilities. Any true Huss fan has experienced all of that and more. There was that one perfect moment at the end of Guns, when six year old Rutherford Aston V took the hand of five year old Miss Aurora Shrike and they became that promise of love. Full of possibility. ...more

Wow. Five and Rory are hot. What an amazing story. Read this in a day. Loved the twists in the story. Did not see them coming. Five is everything you hoped he would be and more. Rory is every bit a bad ass biker chick you would expect. They make for one dynamic unstoppable couple. J A Huss nailed this story with all the feels and the sit on the edge of your set to see where it's going. A must read. ...more

Sigh...Fucking Five! Ok. Loved Five and Rory, but did not enjoy the Princeton Secret Society storyline.

I've been waiting to meet the grown up Five for a few years now. He doesn't disappoint. He has been talked up and touted now for a while. I must say, I had visions of perfection about this kid. Turns out he is human, has foibles, doubts, but is oh so smart about figuring things out. His soulmate, Rory Shrike, is his perfect match in every way. This book shows us how. One of the best parts, as always, about any of J.A. Huss' books is the EOBS. I love the end of book shit. It always pulls things t ...more

The Princess and her Prince finally got their story!

I want to keep this spoiler free so I'm not going to be able to say much but I absolutely LOVED this book. I am so happy that Rory and Five got their story and what a story it was! It ended way too fast (mainly because I couldn't put it down) but with more on the horizon I am satisfied for now :)

Fcking five

Some things are worth the wait. Thank you Rory for being a kick ass female and putting Five in his place. So much love for these two, who I felt watch grow up.
