I absolutely loved this book! New favorite so far. It made me laugh out loud so much people thought I was crazy and it made me cry so hard people thought I was going crazy. Vance is THE MAN! I loved him. My favorite Hot Boy and Jules is my favorite Rock Chick (so far). She kicked some serious butt. Loved it! Happy reading!!

Hrmz have mostly forgotten about this series, except that while it's entertaining, I didn't like this series as much as her other ones. While I did enjoy this one, the h does get on my nerves and not in a good way, though I think that's the way all the h in this series are, a bit annoying to me as they're a bit cray cray and OTT.

Hrmz have mostly forgotten about this series, except that while it's entertaining, I didn't like this series as much as her other ones. While I did enjoy this one, the h does get on my nerves and not in a good way, though I think that's the way all the h in this series are, a bit annoying to me as they're a bit cray cray and OTT.

H is pretty amazing towards halfway but at the beginning he's a bit too overwhelming to me. He tended to really just ignored the h's wishes and just barged in. By midway though, he's turned into a real sweetheart that really let the h call most shots and he just rolled along with it and made sure he's around to help out if need be. He also really knows the h even more than she seems to understand herself and is really patient with her antics. It's quite obvious he really adores her and does as she wants most times, and is totally charmed by her cray cray behavior.

Our h is harder to analyse or like in a sense. I perfectly understand her desire to protect herself from emotional hurt by distancing herself from everyone mostly, yet at the same time I could not understand her borderline self destruct behavior. What she planned on doing was so asinine and honestly quite laughably stupid I just cannot understand what she means to achieve by this except to get herself killed. It's quite inexcusable also when this is obviously hurting her family and if this isn't a book world, not only her family, but also the kids at the shelter, would have all been whacked or hurt way before we started this book. It really doesn't put her in a good light to be honest, she's also a very bad role model for the kids acting so irresponsibly, so nope, cannot say I like her to begin with. Added to that her really silly push of the H (again, while I understand her freak out, I honestly don't know what she was doing after the breakup, including getting all chummy with the H's gang, that's like pretty disgusting to me tbh, you do not go after your ex's circle unless you're real desperate for me, awkward doesn't even begin to describe these whole few chapters, though I more or less really just skimmed these as I do not want to see any heavy petting happening). While she did have her moments with the kid, I do think that she's a heartwarming person that's v passionate about her cause, as a person she's not too endearing to me for me to like her much.

Plot itself is actually pretty fun considering there's quite a bit of action everywhere due to the h's v strange "hobby", I also love the closeness of her family as well as the gang pitching in to drag her out of her shell, so it's not all bad, I just didn't like her enough to really care about this one way or another based on her really tstl mentality (sheesh honestly what she did was more juvenile than anything to me and cannot help rolling my eyes when she just assumed she's like da bomb =,=). ...more

Here we go. This story will be told through the POV of Jules.

At the very end of Roxie's story, there was a small shootout right outside of Fortnum's and Vance went after the shooter. Well the shooter was Juliet Lawler AKA Jules AKA The Law. Jules is a social worker who is somewhat of a loner. She lost her mom, dad, and brother in a car accident when she was very young. Her Aunt Reba and Reba's boyfriend Nick take her in. When Jules is 15, she loses her Aunt Reba, so then it's just Jules and Nick. She doesn't have girlfriends and has never had a relationship. What she does have, are the kids that come into the shelter. One of those kids, Park, recently passed away from a drug overdose. Jules, along with Roam and Sniff (two of the kids from the shelter) are the ones who find Park. This is the incident that takes her from Jules to The Law.

Park was one of Jules' favorite kids. He, Roam, and Sniff were a pact. So the death of Park not only rocked Jules' world, but theirs as well. Because of his passing, Jules has decided to take to the streets. Not to necessarily rid them of the drug dealers, but become a nuisance. This is where the "shootout" occurs and incidentally how she winds up on the radar of the Nightingale Investigation team, more specifically, Vance.

You should remember Vance. Mr. Hottie, Stealth, Bounty Hunter. The one that rescued Roxie after she had been kidnapped. Immediately he makes his presence known in Jules' life. And in typical fashion, he stakes his claim. Almost just as quickly, the Rock Chicks bring her into the fold. For someone who lived her life without the love of friendships, Jules isn't as welcoming to the Rock Chicks, but no worries, they are just as persistent as The Hot Bunch.

One more thing regarding Jules: she is a virgin, a 27 year old virgin. I know typically a lot of readers are skeptical when an author writes the leading lady a virgin, but KA did it really well here. The "cherry popping" conversation she has with the Rock Chicks is pretty funny and shows Jules what life is like with a group of friends that you can have conversations, like losing your virginity, with.

The direction of this book is really Jules and her quest to conquer the drug dealers of Denver. KA did a really good job of connecting the reader to Jules and exposing her passion for her job and especially the kids that she inspires. She has a wonderful and very comical relationship with the kids of the shelter. It was also great to see her social development. For someone who had no previous history with girlfriends (or men, for that matter), to experience that growth was inspiring and really fun to read.

Just like the previous books in this series, Jules tries her best to shake Vance loose. There is always a "breaking-up" conversation to be had and again, I could certainly be biased, considering I adore KA, but she writes the storyline well. It does get a little tedious at times to constantly see these Rock Chicks trying to get rid of The Hot Bunch, but once you are able to get inside of Jules' head, you understand her reasoning.

Holy Hot Bunch, these boys really know how to work over a woman. Even though Jules is working with a limited amount of experience, she catches on quite quickly, impressively so, and with the sexual appetite of one sexy Vance, that is a good thing. If you are someone who whose significant other lacks in the "dirty talk" department, just have them read one of KA's Alpha's, there is definitely a lesson there.

Okay, the ones we love are back along with some others that will grow on you. There are the kids from the shelter, but specifically, Roam and Sniff who need all of the parental love that Jules is able to offer them. There is also May, who works with Jules at the shelter, who at times, seems a little more eager for Jules to find love than Jules even is. Nick is Jules' uncle and really the only family she has left. I can't forget Frank, Heavy, and Zip-Jules' training team, that is until the Hot Bunch step in and take over. So, these characters along with the ones that we have let into our imagination will make this book fantastic.

I do think that this book is my favorite so far in the series, which is difficult to admit. I adored Jules' humor, as well as her naiveté. She is a Rock Chick who certainly held her own among everyone and she is the first Rock Chick that becomes an unofficial member of the Hot Bunch (more moments that will have you laughing out loud). This book also offered lots of humor mixed with the serious, which balanced out the story so well, it made it almost impossible to put down.

Found Roxie annoying as well. Her inner rotweiller and inner pug was annoying. Other than that, really liked this book! Excited for Luke's story! ...more
