She’s not ready for commitment…Milly Holcomb has a history with bad boys. She knows what they’re after, and she knows they’re only good for one thing: a night of wicked orgasms. When she met AJ, she had been prepared for that.He wants all of her…AJ Ballard knew from the moment he laid eyes on the feisty blond that she would be worth the wait. However, he hadn’t anticipated their wild nights … nights of passion would result in more than either of them was prepared for.Sometimes it’s just meant to be.Hearts flutter when this snarky good girl realizes this sexy bad boy is more than she bargained for. Can Milly and AJ figure out what it means to be good parents when neither of them has a clue what they’re doing? Will they give in to the attraction they’ve been battling since day one? Or — because of the consequences of their actions — will they simply have to settle for being the best parents they can be?

I loved catching up with the Pier 70 guys, and it was great to get Milly and AJ’s story.
I find this author pulls me in and gets me so invested in the characters that I feel like they are real people, and I never want their story to end. So I am sad to see the end of this series.
Let’s start with some semantics. This story is listed as book 5 in this series, but its timeline starts during book 3, Speechless, and ends after book 4, Harmless. Trust me, it’s less confusing than it sounds. It was written after book 4 and I believe the proper place to read this story is after book 4. And unlike with a lot of this author’s other works, which can all be read as standalone books although you miss out on so much if you do that, this story probably wouldn’t hold up as well as a standalone. For one, it’s a shorter story. Also, a lot of the emotion comes from the fact that we already know these characters.
The Pier 70 series is really a M/M series, but fans (myself included) really wanted to know what happened with Milly and AJ. Ms. Edwards was kind enough to oblige us. These types of books, the shorter stories that are written to satisfy the rabid fans, can go horribly wrong at times. I just recently reviewed such a story where I felt the author phoned it in. Not so in this case. The author really did a great job of giving me all the feels…including getting frustrated with AJ and Milly and their lack of communication!!!
One of the most amazing things about this story is the true friendship that develops with the characters. Them both being so darn stubborn really forced them into a caring and mutually beneficial friendship that will be a solid foundation to any relationship they have with one another for the rest of their lives. It was a beautiful thing.
Really, Nicole Edwards does not often have a misstep. At least in my opinion. Her stories always suck me in and hang on until the very last page. I’m glad she was able to give us the Milly/AJ story so many of us wanted.

Clueless is the final book in the Pier 70 Series and what a great way to end Nicole Edwards certainly goes out with a bang with this story. It can be read as a stand-alone but I really feel you would get so much more out of this story if you have read the previous books as Clueless not only has its own main characters it also gives us an insight into the relationships of the guys from the previous books.
It’s instant attraction for AJ the minute he meets Milly he knows she is the one but that doesn’t mean he will act on his feelings because both Milly and AJ have built protective walls around themselves and even an unexpected twist that means they will be linked together for the next eighteen years or so doesn’t mean the walls will come down easily, AJ will need the patience of a saint but that doesn’t faze him he can wait as long as it takes for Milly to realise she needs more than just friendship. This couple have it all chemistry, friendship and a baby but will that be enough for them to admit their true feelings for each other and finally get their well deserved HEA.
This book has it all love, romance, characters with sizzling chemistry and yes this book is hot but it’s also a love story all in all a perfect way to end a great series.
What an absolutely perfect way to end this series! AJ and Milly really were Clueless! Such a great couple I loved their journey so much and loved catching up with all the guys!
The epilogue courtesy of Teague was just fantastic and very fulfilling as a huge fan of this series!
5 Star review of Clueless (Pier 70 # 5) by Nicole Edwards
This is Milly Holcomb and AJ Ballard’s story and is the final book in the Pier 70 series and what a way to wrap a series.
From the first moment AJ sees Milly he is hooked and when
Clueless is the last book in the Pier 70 series (insert tears here) by the talented Nicole Edwards. I love this series and I fell hard and fast for all of these characters. I’m sad to say good bye to them, but I’m so glad I got to read all of their stories. Clueless is a novella about AJ (Hudson’s brother) and Milly (Gannon’s best friend). We have known Milly and AJ throughout the series, so we already know their background through the other characters. Now we get to see their story from their point of views and I loved it! I have always loved AJ and Milly and now I love them even more. They hooked up and she got pregnant. AJ tried to talk to her to tell her he wanted more, but she was scared. Now that they are parents together and spending a lot of time eating, being with the baby and platonically snuggling on the couch, they both want more, but neither one is going to say it. I loved watching this story play out! They are both so stubborn and hilarious! I loved seeing the guys again and hearing what they have been up to. The ending is perfection as Nicole wrapped up the entire series for us! Thank you for that! Overall, I laughed, teared up a little, got hot and bothered and loved this story!
“Tell me what you want, Milly.”
“You.”
“You’ve got me, baby. You’ve had me since the first day I met you.”
Gone was the sweet man who tried to seduce her with words. In his place, the alpha male hell-bent on driving her over the edge again and again.
Clueless is the perfect finale to the Pier 70 series. It can be read as a standalone, but you will have a better understanding of the relationships between all of the characters if you have already read the first four books.
We heard about AJ and Milly earlier in the series and I am so happy we finally got their story.
On paper, they had everything a relationship should need, heat, chemistry, friendship and even a baby. Milly just didn’t believe that any guy would stick around. AJ had patience of a saint and perseverance to have stuck by her and support her even when she kept their relationship in the ‘friends’ category for over a year. When they both stop being afraid to admit how they feel about each other they will finally get their happily ever after.
