I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
A really engaging contemporary romance.
This is a really interesting book. It’s part of a series and it does help to read them in order. This book focuses on Cade and Merrigan/Fatale and both their professional and personal relationship. Cade has been on a case for years that has deeply affected his family and it’s just recently been resolved. Now he has the time to decompress and focus on his future. Too bad it’s never that easy…
Wowza and holy crap are my first thoughts! What a complex situation and thank goodness for plans B C D……
There’s so much to love and a few to hate with a lot of action, chemistry and so many surprises.
This final book in the Butler series has it all! While each book has its own standalone HEA, I really suggest reading them in order to better understand the back storyline.
In this, the final book in the Butler Ranch series, we get plenty of drama, action, suspense, emotions and romance. With the conclusion of this series we get more twists, turns, surprises and stunning revelations. I highly recommend this series. With a base of powerful family drama, deep emotions, sweet romance, steamy passion and engaging mystery it is very entertaining and enjoyable.
Kade is a fabulous romantic suspense by Heather Slade. As a newcomer to Ms. Slade’s work I must confess I’ve enjoyed this series and Ms. Slade’s story-telling abilities. Kade is finally free from being a captive and arrives in time to save his daughter’s life. After being away from her for 14 years the reunion is his focus, with her and his family that has believed him to be dead. But always in his mind is the woman that freed him. Merrigan is happy for Kade and when she thinks he may get back with his exwife she steps back. Kade and Merrigan’s story is packed with drama, humor, sizzle, action and suspense. I enjoyed this book and this series and look forward to reading more from Heather Slade in the future. Kade is book 6 of The Butler Ranch Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.
At the end of Mercer the ultimate surprise comes in the form of Kade. He’s not dead and he has a lot of explaining to do. Especially to his daughter.
Finally understanding the ‘Kade’ sightings in the previous books, to the explanation of Lena’s involvement beyond being Kade’s ex-wife and Quinn’s mother.
Now the goal is to keep his family safe and resolve the issue of the missing documents. Merrigan ‘Fatale’ has joined them here in the US to assist in that goal.
Of course there’s going to be issues before the rest can be accomplished. The first happens even before Lena arrives.
As the family reunites, Leech, Lina’s father and Quinn’s grandfather takes a turn for the worse. Kade has to convince Merrigan to join them at the hospital in Germany, something she isn’t sure she wants to do. Meeting Kade’s ex-wife is not in her plans and it is definitely a complex situation.
So many complications, so much intricately woven suspense, lots of sizzling heat and much more!
I loved the way Heather took this series from the sabotage of the vineyards to a complicated tale of international suspense. All leading into to her K19 series, which I am already reading.
This is an action-packed story with a strong hero and heroine, suspense, mystery, attraction and love. I have not read the previous books in this series and feel it would have added to my enjoyment of this book. Still, it was a good read on its own.
So this is the final book in the Butler Ranch Series and was it ever an absolutely perfect ending! I loved this whole series, but to see how Kade was woven into all of these stories was wonderful. And Merrigan was the perfect woman for him. It was absolutely perfect to watch Kade reconnect with Quinn as well.
This is the final book in the Butler Ranch series but it’s by no means simply a wrap up! The mystery has evolved over the previous 5 books and common theme has been that just when you think you’ve got it all worked out then the author throws you a curve ball! I have thoroughly enjoyed this series and would recommend to anyone! Sad to see it finish but then there was the intriguing reference at the end to a follow up series, I can’t wait!
What a way to finish up the series and tie it all together. Kade has been in the background throughout this series, but as a lost member of the team. Thought dead, Kade’s return from being held captive comes as a bit of a surprise and relief to his family and friends.
Kade and Merrigan’s relationship is hot, sexy, and it leads to all kinds of adventure (I totally love the name Merrigan). There will be all kinds of unexpected twists and turns and a character that I absolutely hated, but that is what makes it such a great story. This book had me on so many emotional highs and lows that the pages just flew by and left me wishing it wasn’t the end of the series… I have a sneaking suspicion that we will be seeing some of these guys again in other books though.
“The Return” (Butler Ranch Book 6) by Heather Slade is a great read. I loved Doc and Merrigan’s story. This is a wonderful addition to this series, packed with action, drama, romance, twists and turns, family, former military and government agents, suspense, and more. I hope we get to see what happens next with all these characters in the future. Highly recommend to all fans of romantic suspense, family, and series.
As the series wraps up so does the action. Quinn receives the answer she craves. Everything else though is a cluster of crazy. This author does a wonderful job of mixing the story of Merrigan and Doc’s passion for each other with the resolution of everything. No one is safe and no one is who they seem. Enemies may actually be protectors and well I am absolutely sure I left out a twist or two.
Great story about the K-19 team and one that definitely fits with the ones I have read. They are standalones even though there are characters and actions that are easier understood especially in this case fro0m previous books. Love these guys and was extremely glad when Quinn started to stand up for herself.
Wow! What an action-packed, fantastic book. This is so much more than romantic-suspense; it’s gritty, well-written, and had me on the edge of my seat til the very end. Loved it.
The Return was fast paced with nonstop action, and I was so happy to get updates on Mercer & Quinn as the story unfolded. This series was wrapped up perfectly with twists that I didn’t see coming. I love the hook at the end, and I’m so excited about the K19 Security Solutions spinoff series! I can’t wait to read Razor’s story!
