Hot, Steamy, Entertaining!
This storyline was solid and had everything it needed to hold my interest from start to finish. It was a one-sitting for me.
It had lots of steamy/hot action, angst, laughter, a bit of fun, a ton of family love, great characters, and a beautiful ending. As a reader, I could not ask for more than that from an author.

I loved the story in this, whoops, we broke the Bro Code romance. It had wonderful characters to root for, just the right touch of angst and a blooming romance to the final page. You also get recurring characters from the previous Slate Brother series that make their appearances in this story. Hudson Slade returns home after leaving the military unsure what to do being a civilian. Staying at his brother Drake’s place he goes jogging and meets his old friend Brad Olsen who is driving home and he offers him a room. Later that night, checking out the town he enters the local bar. While drinking, a attractive women comes in which catches his eye. She introduces herself as Danielle who’s in town visiting family. Since Hudson did not recognize her, Deven who has had a crush on Hudson since high school and wants her chance to be with him so she gave him her middle name. They hook up and they go their separate ways until she walks into her brother’s apartment. What happens next made this a very enjoyable read of two people drawn toward each other and trying to figure out what they are doing with their lives.

I was entertained by this book, however I was unable to connect to any of the characters. This was not one of the better books that this author has written.

Another excellent book in the Slade Brothers series. I have loved all of the Slade brothers so far and Hudson’s story was no exception. Hudson and Deven were great together. This book was heartwarming, emotional and steamy. It was great to see all of the brothers come together with their wives and kids to put an HEA on the entire series. Definitely a must read.

This was a good read, a small town romance that involves a man who no longer serves in the military and a woman who seems to have her own amount of mess ups. Their chemistry is hot and it was hard to put the book down. I strongly recommend this book.
I received this ARC for my honest review.
I wanted to love this book. It was one of my favorite types with an old crush and best friend’s sister. It was too much sex and not enough connection with the characters for me. I enjoyed the ending that was the best part for me.
Another exciting addition to the Slade Brothers series. This book brought out all kinds of emotions. I enjoyed it from the first page to last. Will Hudson and Deven get their HEA ?? Read it to find out ! I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving this review review
This is the 5th book in this amazing series and is Hudson who is the youngest brother and has just returned home from the army. Devin is staying with her brother after getting kicked out of her mom’s house, and she has always had a crush on her brothers’ best friend Hudson. When Hudson arrives back town, he does not recognize Devin, and an added complication is that he has just agreed to be Brad’s new roommate. This is a well written story which is heart-warming, as well as being an emotional roller coaster, with added heartbreak, drama, secrets, betrayal, suspense, and undeniable chemistry. I was intrigued and hooked throughout, and I highly recommend for all.
Fun read. A typical brother’s best friend trope with some drama mixed in. Hudson and Deven have great chemistry. I love that Hudson is the good boy and Deven is the bad girl since most stories it’s always reversed. It’s an “insta-love” story but more believable since the characters knew each other when they were younger. Hudson is the youngest of the Slade brothers so we get to catch up with the other Slade boys. This is a good book to curl up on the couch with or lounge by the pool.

Hudson Slade is the one man Deven never thought she would get to be with, even if only for one night. Well, she was only eight when she first crushed on her older brother’s best friend! But here he is now and she wants that unexpected gift since he doesn’t recognize her as an adult.
But when she meets her protective brother Brad’s new roommate, Deven was totally blindsided! Hudson knew the old Bro Code meant Brad would not want him messing with his sister. Will he and Deven avoid each other for Brad’s sake, or will they let Brad know they have feelings they intend to pursue? And how will everyone handle the chaos when mom arrives in town with her boyfriend?
This was a good and enjoyable story line. Though not difficult to figure out the plot overall, it was handled well with some intriguing surprises. The characters were well-portrayed and their situation held the reader’s interest. Grab your copy and see what the future holds for them.
I haven’t read the other books in the series but Hudson and Deven’s story had me turning every page. I couldn’t put it down. It was nice and steamy and just enough suspense to keep you attached to the book.

Discovering a new author is exciting to me and what a great book to start with a Insta love with a taboo and keep your hands off my little sister warning from your best friend. Now you know the opposite is going to happen right ? but that’s where all the fun begins.

Hudson is the youngest of the 5 Slade brothers and has just returned home after his military discharge. He doesn’t want to put out his family so he decides to move in to an apartment with a former high school friend, Brad, who had moved away years ago and had now returned. The night before he moved he went alone to a bar and hooked up with a girl he met, Daisy, and had sex in his truck. The next day when he moved in with Brad he discovered that Daisy was Devon, Brad’s 18 year old sister who was temporarily sleeping on Brad’s couch. Brad warned him that Devon had gotten into trouble as a teenager and he told Hudson that his sister was definitely off-limits to him. Despite this warning Devon continues to flirt with Hudson and they become closer. Will Devon’s past and her overprotective brother ruin her relationship with Hudson? Can Hudson and Devon overcome all of the obstacles thrown in their way?
I thoroughly enjoyed this well written story and I could hardly put the book down once I started reading. The author had me really into the story and hoping for a happy ending for Hudson and Devon. I especially loved the last few chapters where I got to see more of the Slade family that I had read about in previous books even though this book could certainly be enjoyed by itself.

This was my 1st time reading this author and even though I haven’t read the previous books in the series I found this one to be very engaging. This story was fast paced in the beginning, an insta love for the most part. It did take me a few chapters to get into the characters, the way they both were in personality and character wise towards especially towards each other. It was good, not great but good. If you want an enjoyable reads this is it. It’s full of family and 2 people figuring out what happens next in life and with each other. This is my honest review for a book I volunteered to read
This is the fifth book in the Slade Brothers series by Alexis Winter. This forbidden romance story is well written and packed with a bit of drama, strong attraction, misunderstandings, secrets, explosive chemistry, suspense, betrayal, hot scenes, and a HEA.
I volunteered to review an advance reader copy of this book.
I’ve really enjoyed this series and getting to know the Slade Brothers. I loved Hudson and Devin’s story. I hope for another book about the half brother
Oh, get ready for a swoony, scorching hot, forbidden romance. I couldn’t put it down. There is some drama and angst but that tension is what had me continue reading.
This book was great, very explicit in details. The characters jump off the page at you as you read. The story seems so real, like it is happening to you.

I liked the story but i found I couldn´t relate with the characters, it jumped ahead without any backround which left me confused in some parts.
