Hudson: Graffiti Street Bad Boys Spin-Off (WildStyle Brewers Book 3)

Friends and lovers, forever………..if he can stop “pulling a Hudson”

Hudson is the youngest of the Wilder brothers at almost thirty. In a lot of ways he is still a baby, or man child as some would say. He seems to create havoc, or “pull a Hudson” as it has been named, quite often. This is when he does not stop to think and instead just lets things out of his mouth which he them lets other people fix for him.
Georgia is Hudson’s best friend since they were kids. She is a therapist who is great with helping her clients but has a harder time dealing with her own things, namely her feelings and relationship with Hudson. She knows exactly when she fell in love with Hudson, her best friend. It was when Mr. Magoo, her ten pound Pekingese wandered off and Hudson was the only one that would continue to search for him with her. They found him at the bottom of a ravine in water and Hudson had to even rescue him. But Hudson only sees Georgia as his best friend and also therapist as he turns to her when he “pulls a Hudson”. The problem is that Georgia wants to be Hudson’s girlfriend and not his therapist.
When Hudson once again “pulls a Hudson” as he is showing Mrs. Burnbottom, a reporter from the online magazine Brewer’s Best, around WildStyle Brewery. He let’s it slip that the brewery will be a headliner at the Vegas Brewfest in the fall, which was supposed to be a secret. Once again Hudson’s mouth runs away from his mind. He knows he messed up once again and turns to Georgia to help talk him down and be his free therapist. They meet at Georgia’s house where she cooks them dinner and they talk about what has happened. A couple bottles of wine later as they are sitting on the couch and something changes in the way he is looking at Georgia. One kiss leads to something more and even as they are both saying some of the same things to each other there are vastly different meanings behind those words and emotions. For Georgia this is her moment to tell Hudson how she feels about him and she gives him her V-card. Hudson tells Georgia how he feels but for him this is “just sex” and a “friends with benefits” situation. Afterwards when Georgia finds out what Hudson meant behind his words she is livid and done. She kicks him out and then texts him to leave, as he is sitting in his car out front, and to also leave her alone. Hudson has pulled another massive “Hudson” and knows it right away but he is not sure how to deal with his emotions, as Georgia is the person who he would talk to. If he wants to fix this he is going to have to own his own mistakes and fix them on his own, without letting his mouth get away from his brain again. Luckily for him Georgia really does love him, along with his brothers as he also has to deal with the slip to the reporter. In the end Hudson discovers that sometimes mistakes can lead to something really great happening that you had not expected, as long as you take responsibility for the mistake and apologize.

I really loved Hudson, the third book in the WildStyle Brewers series. Every woman knows a man just like Hudson – a man child or toddler in an adults body. Georgia is also a wonderful character as she has a hard time doing what she tells others to do, which is something we all have a hard time doing. Her weakness is Hudson and it takes a lot for him to finally break her heart. But when he does she is strong enough to put up a boundary that he is not used to. He grows from that and they do get an HEA in the Epilogue. I enjoyed this book a lot and recommend it and the others in this series. After all we all need a little Wild Style in our reading lives!!!

What a series! Graffiti Street is a magical place, and I cannot get enough of these books! I’m sad to see the WildStyle Brewers series end, but I’m looking forward to what comes next. Hudson, as the baby of the family, has gotten used to screwing up and not being held accountable. Though messing up stresses him, he makes no real steps to change his ways. Until …… until he messes up with Georgia, his best friend since forever. Suddenly the blinders are gone, and overnight Hudson is a new man, a better man, the man Georgia has been waiting to show up. Snarky and sexy and sweet and so much fun, I’ll be reading this again and again!
