Loved this trilogy! 🥰
Arabella's next? 🤞🏼

I'm really hoping they do Arabella.

On the blog: They said they'd have to move it 5 years into the future, as she was too young at the moment. So its a possibility, but they'd have to self publish and it wouldn't suit Avon which want a romance and they feel Arabella is more UF. She won't meet "the one" like Nevada & Connor / Catalina & Alessandro, but get to choose from a couple of guys.

As to Ruby Fever, loved it. 5 stars, highly recommended. We get the Grandparents 'coming out' and more info about the world & the Baylors & the Sagredos.

Loved It!!

* What did you think of the continuing storyline?
Thought it was the perfect wrap up to the trilogy with just enough teaser (and not cliffhanger) to make us anticipate Arabella's story...

* Were all threads wrapped up in the finale?
Yes and loved the bonus threads involving parents and grandparents. Wasn't expecting those, but great back story.

* Did you have a favorite quote or scene?
Really loved when they showed the family the new housing compound and everyone was picking their digs! I know it was the very beginning of the book and not part of the plot, but it was the fun before the butt kicking began!

* Would you recommend the book to others?
Definitely, faithful member of the BDH and think everything written by Team Andrews should be consumed!! I think the whole way they market themselves with their blogs / facebook posts keep their followers super engaged. Their weekly trickles of stories before they release the books are awesome. The peek they allow into their lives makes them human and relatable. I think they do a great job keeping their fans engaged. Highly recommend all IA books!

Yeah, I get that. No matter how they decide to write her story, I'm sure I'll love it!

We get the Grandparents 'coming out'

I was so happy for that, too!

That was such a great scene! The place sounded amazing and the siblings' reactions were a hoot!

They also said Arabella is very sensitive and that she's affected by the fact that everybody likes her, but she’s nobody’s favorite. And that’s what she’ll be looking for in a relationship, someone who will put her above all else.

I feel like the Arabella books won't focus on romance but she'll probably find that one special person who will put her above everyone else. Gordon said something about sending her to Russia to charm the Royal Family. And they both seem to like Mihail so the Russian Prince seems like the logical conclusion.

I was wondering about the Prince. No matter what they decide, I'm all in! 😁
