This is the last of the Slade books and its an excellent read. Standalone, but the other books are equally enjoyable. Satisfying story.

This was Book 5 in the “Slade Brothers” series and I totally loved Hudson and Deven together! The storyline was well written and the wonderfully created characters kept me totally engaged throughout the entire book!
Hudson and Deven start off on a super steamy note! I love a sassy heroine who knows what she wants and goes after it! Loved the youngest Slade brother as much as the rest! Insta-love/best friends sister/off limits love story!

This was an amazing book. I was drawn in from page one. Deven and Hudson have a chemistry I felt right from the very first meeting. This story is very heartfelt and hot all at the same time. I just loved it.

Best Friend’s Sister by Alexis Winter this is book 5 in the Slade Brothers series.
Rating 5
Heat
Ohhh this was so good she did it again I’ve absolutely been loving this series Alexis Winter has thrown everything under the sick at us during this series, each book has had it’s own special topic. This one wasn’t any different it’s about leaving the military too soon, and falling in love with your best friend`s little sister…..it was a line he wasn’t supposed to cross. Then Deven with her troubled heart, and a secret that she’s kept from her brother.
Hudson is the least known of the brother to us, he is the youngest of the bunch, and has been away in the service for a few years. He was honorably discharged, and has returned back home to figure out what his wants to do now that he is a civilian again, he was expecting to retire from the military….so he is feeling a bit lost.
The first night in town he meets Deven at the famous town bar, he gets drunk, they dance and then get really hot and heavy… dirty steamy outside.
Deven is 18 almost 19, and the younger sister of Hudson`s high school bestfriend Brad. They haven’t seen each other in years. She always had a secret crush on Hudson…..she recognized him in the bar, he didn’t recognized her…he only saw a sexy attractive young woman that he felt an instant attraction to, and needed wanted to hookup with her, and she with him.
Deven is now an adult, but has been in a bit of trouble as a teenager, bad luck with boyfriends. So she’s living with her brother now back home. I kind of felt bad for her, my heart broke at times during this story.
Wasn’t Hudson surprised when his best friend Brad introduced the hot woman who he hookup up with the other night as his sister…yeppp
He made a promise to not look or lay a finger on her again, but that was really hard to keep when they kept feeling this intense attraction pull towards each other. Rules are made to be broken after all, and boy do they break them a few times!
Needless to say a lot happens in-between them during their road to HEA.
This book made me laugh at times, and I cried in other moments. it was a steamy one, and getting to see all the other brothers, their beautiful strong wives and kids again was very special. Nice to see how far they all have come.
The best ending of all the books for me so far, it was so good
No cliffhanger, can definitely be read as a standalone, but you
don’t want to miss out on the other Slade brother’s stories.
Yes I highly recommend it!!!
This book was so good, It was hard to put it down! It was supposed to be one night of lust, but turned into so much more. Alexis Winter has written a steamy, passionate and love filled book.

Hudson and Deven’s story had me hooked from the beginning. I knew when Hudson didn’t recognize Deven but she recognized him, it was going to cause trouble. Add in Deven’s brother being Hudson’s best friend in the past, it was a recipe for disaster.
I enjoyed the inner turmoil both the main characters had to go through while trying to make the best decisions for their future.
Not to give anything away, but the twists and turns especially near the end of the book had me on the edge of my seat. I was worried for the Hudson and Devon until the very end.
I received this ARC for an honest review. This is the 5th Slade Brothers book. Hudson and Deven are perfect for eachother. Hudson is a strong alpha male while Deven was more of the free spirit type. Their story is a sweet romance with a happy ever after ending. I enjoyed this story and would reccomend this to anyone who likes a sweet happy ever after story.
The author has once again pulled us into the lives of the Slade brothers. When Hudson is discharged from the military, he returns to his hometown to be near family. He goes to the local bar and meets Danielle/Deven. They have an immediate attraction but he does not realize that she is the sister of his best friend, and she is not willing to tell him.

This is my first book I have read by Alexis and it won’t be my last. I love the Slade family and Hudson ugh is definitely swoon worthy. I love the connection between Hudson & Deven. This story and characters definitely held my attention.
I found this fifth book in this series about the Slade brothers to be very well written. Hudson returns home after leaving his military career. He isn’t quite sure what’s next for him but he’s in no rush to make any decisions and just wants to spend time with his family and reconnect with old friends. He reconnects with Brad, an old friend, not realizing that Brad’s little sister (Deven) and he have already met. In trying to keeping this nearly impossible secret from Deven’s brother, things get very uncomfortable and tricky for both him and Deven. Deven has experienced a lot of challenges in her young complicated life and now she’s complicated Hudson’s life. Even the advice of his more experienced older brothers is of no help. Watching how this sticky, yet very humorous situation all plays out for Hudson makes this such a fun read. I love to see complicated characters grow and evolve and find their way and this is what Alexis Winters again gives her readers in this book. Previously introduced characters are further developed in this book and along with the humor, wit, self-doubt, angst and strong, irresistible attraction between Hudson and Deven, the story moves steadily along towards the all important HEA. I highly recommend this book.

This book was such a fun read. I loved the forbidden aspect with this couple. They knew it wasn’t right to keep secrets; however, they could not fight their feelings for each other. This couple had explosive chemistry together and could not deny their attraction. Lots of fun and steamy times occur and they soon discover exactly what they need in each other. I highly recommend this book.
This might just be my favorite Slade Brother Book!
Before starting this book, I actually binge re-read the other books. This was such a fabulous storyline, and I loved finally getting to know Hudson. It had drama, lots of romance, suspense and a touch of humor. I love how the characters within the series all mesh in every book.
Devon is hell raiser, playing up but comes to stay with her brother. Hudson is ex military, needing a place to stay to moves in with Brad, Devons brother. She and Hudson cant keep their hands off each other
This romance was sweet and dramatic, with lots of tension, action and steam. Hudson was tall and handsome and rich but doesnt flaunt it in any way. Devon learns and grows up fast, getting a job and security. Its a fantastic story one I couldnt put down if I tried.

This is the last of the Slade brothers series. I am not disappointed at all. I enjoyed reading the book, it’s the story of Deven and Hudson, Deven is Hudson’s best friends younger sister and she’s off limit. No amount of threats can keep them away from each other. Its very interesting. Beautiful characters, well written and enjoyable . I received an ARC for my honest opinion
I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
This is the story of the youngest Slade brother. I have enjoyed this entire series, and this last installment did not disappoint!!
Hudson has just been honorably discharged from the service and comes back to his hometown. He’s unsure of what he wants to do with his future, but he is happy to be near his family again. If he wants it, there is a job waiting for him at the family brewery and a plot of land for him to build a home. Until he knows what he wants to do, he’s going to consider all his opinions. His priority is finding a place of his own, rather than stay at his brother’s home.
He runs into his old friend Brad, who is looking for a roommate. They make plans to meet up the next day.
That night, Hudson hits the local bar and flirts with a sexy woman, leading them back to his truck for some fun.
Deven has had a crush on Hudson since she was a kid. When she sees him at the bar, she decides to go for it. He doesn’t recognize her, so she uses her middle name so he doesn’t make the connection to who she is. She has just moved back to town because of trouble back home with her mother and her loser boyfriend. She’s just trying to find her way and get up on her own two feet.
Imagine both her and Hudson’s surprise the next day when they are both in Brad’s apartment about to be roommates!! Deven just happens to be Brad’s baby sister!! Brad warns Hudson to stay away from Deven because she’s had a troubled past and bad history with men. Well, what could go wrong here?!?
Words cannot express how much I enjoyed this book. With Hudson and Deven’s story the Slade Brothers series is at an end…I didn’t want it to end! So, so good! This series is a must read start to finish as you will love them all. Alexis Winter really knows how to bring her characters to life and captures not only their chemistry but also the passion. Could not put it down!
