First let start by saying I am not usually a “suspense romance” genre type of reader. HOWEVER, I am a big, huge fan of JH Croix and her writing. I have been reading her books for several years and have FLOVED each and every one. So even though suspense is not my jam, I read it because Ms. Croix wrote it with Ali Parker, ( a new to me author), and let me say this: WOW!!!
I loved every word. This is a book with a LOT of twists and turns, and the angst… out of this world.
I really enjoyed the play between the hero Tyson and the heroine, Eve. I loved the way they both sort of feared opening up to the other, not trusting the other at first.
This is the last book in the series; and had not read the previous books, and yet I was totally able to keep up with the story.
I was gifted with a copy of this book via Booksprout for my reading pleasure and my opinions of this book.
I LOVED this book, and I am looking forward to going back and starting this series from the beginning.
Thank you for reading my review. So, I hope I helped you make the decision to purchase this book from your favorite retailer.
Happy reading
Tyson and Eve have an instant connection when Tyson’s dad sends him to find Eve. This is the conclusion of this series. I didn’t get to read the others and now want to go back and catch up. Loved the humor, the hotness, the familial relationships and the suspense of this book. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.
This was thrilling, heartbreaking, and passionate conclusion to the Shameless Southern Nights series. Beau and Charise are together and Tyson and Eve are pushed together to settle his father’s affairs. Caught up in secrets and danger each Lovett brother needs to come to terms with their father’s actions and why. Filled with danger, secrets, forgiveness, healing, passion, and love. Rough and Rugged is a captivating must read that readers won’t want to put down. I have absolutely loved each book from the Shameless Southern Night series and m sad to read the final book in the series.

What a fantastic conclusion to the Shameless Southern Nights series by JH Croix and Ali Parker. Tyson Lovett is the oldest of the Lovett brothers and DA of Cypress Creek who has been the father figure to his brothers since his father was sent to prison. Tyson must do all within his power to protect his brothers and their families when a man with some serious power and pull moves to have Tyson’s father released from prison. Along the way, Tyson’s father sends him to Eve, an accountant who has a history with his father. The chemistry and passion between Tyson and Eve is instantaneous and scorching HOT like an inferno. How will Tyson react when he finds out Eve’s secret? How will the Lovett brothers react when the learn the truth of their father’s actions before he was sent to prison? I LOVED Rough and Rugged by JH Croix and Ali Parker. Rough and Rugged is an amazing book with fantastic characters and filled with love, humor, danger, and suspense. Rough and Rugged wraps up all the questions that have been accumulating since book 1 of the Shameless Southern Nights series. I would HIGHLY recommend getting Rough and Rugged and all the other books in the Shameless Southern Nights series. I received an ARC of this book, and I am leaving my honest review.
Gripping, Exciting and even a little romantic. That’s the story that Ali Parker and J.H. Croix bring to you in this final edition of Shameless Southern Nights. Tyson Lovett is the Prosecutor who sent his father to jail and he has endured that burden for 8 years. Eve Cain has secrets that will destroy everything if revealed, but when these to come together it’s spontaneous and eye-opening for both. There are bad guys, tears, wit, and emotion in this book.
Perfect Conclusion to the Lovett’s. Ms. Parker as well as J. Croix are deserving of much praise for this release. My goodness… nothing is better than a fantastic romance to curl up with but in this much anticipated book, I was in awe… Tyson loosened up! Who knew that was possible? Only joking. I have been impatiently awaiting the next release in this incredible series and these Authors more then delivered.
I will try not to give too much information away, so that I do not ruin it for reader’s, however, if you’ve read the previous 3 books, then you are already familiar with this Family. Should you not be, then I encourage you to pick up this series ASAP and get lost in the incredibly crafted storylines and realistic characters for each book. In Rough and Rugged, you get to follow along as Tyson and Eve struggle together to find not only balance, but their happily ever after.
This book deserves your time and attention. Should you love some drama, as well as twists and turns with your romance, then trust that you have found it right here in this book/series. Both are strong willed individuals but can they work together? What will happen when the secret she hides is brought to light? Chemistry and lust… YES please. Tyson and Eve belong together but getting there is definitely not an easy task and I found myself engrossed from cover to cover.
I was beyond fortunate to have requested an advanced reader’s copy of Rough and Rugged in exchange for my honest opinion and I loved it. To me, this was not only a great installment to this series but an amazing conclusion that I highly recommend.
** spoiler alert ** Tyson is determined to do anything he can to protect his family. Eve has always been determined to hide who she really is. They have a common enemy. What will Tyson do when he learns the truth of who she is? Will Eve take Tyson back?
I was so excited for Tyson’s book and it definitely didn’t disappoint. I loved how despite coming off as a hard a**, Tyson was determined to do what he could to protect everyone. Eve definitely proved she was stronger than she thought and I loved how she was determined to help those around her. Good read!
I loved every page of this book. Main characters shared intense chemistry and their commitment to each other was enjoyable to read. Secrets, suspense, drama, and some twists in the story that kept it a real page turner for me. You need to read this book. It was SO good!!!
What an amazing conclusion to the Shameless Southern Nights series!
I was waiting for Tyson’s story since the first book and it was definitely worth it. Secrets, suspense and mystery were keeping me at the edge and devouring page after page right from the start. Chemistry between Tyson and Eve was seriously hot and their story was full of emotions. I was also glad for an update on all the other brothers.
This whole series is definitely the one you don’t want to miss!
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
“Rough and Rugged” is the final story of the Lovett brothers. Both Beau and Tyson get their HEA, although the story is mostly about Tyson and Eve (who has her own mysterious past). We also finally learn why their father did what he did.
I loved all the twists and turns in the book and was so happy with the ending.
Another wonderful story by the amazing J.H. Croix!
I received an ARC from the author. This is my honest review.
All I can say is wow! What a fantastic conclusion to the Shameless Southern Nights series centering around the Lovett brothers, Tyson, Beau, Evan, Jeremy and Sonny. This book is so smartly written, I felt like I was in the middle of all that was happening, hanging on to the edge of my seat through the mystery, suspense and pantie-melting romance. I am not ready to say goodbye to the Lovett family so I purchased the series to visit again at a later date. If you enjoy intense romantic suspense that you can’t put down, don’t miss Rough and Rugged. I received an advance reader copy of this book from Booksprout and this is my voluntary and honest review.
This has been a great series with lots of love and mystery and danger lurking around every corner. We haven’t known who was behind all the crimes and where the money Roy stole was hidden. This book reveals everything but before you get to the bottom of the mystery you will travel with Tyson and Eve down their path to love. Lots of surprises.
Loved this entire series. I received a early copy to read and review and give my honest opinion. I recommend this book but you must read the others first. It is a series that builds with each book.

So we finally get to see the last brother get his story and my oh my what a story it is. Watching as the kids from the two main families come together in this hot and steamy romance that could literally knock your socks off, you can’t help but finally say yes. Now that’s what I’m talking about. Tyson and Eve stream up the pages and makes us wonder when it was going to happen. They gave us that HEA that this sirs so needed. JH and Ali really know how to write a book series that never makes us quiet. I hope we get more from them. I give it 5 stars. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book as an Advanced Reader’s Copy.
This story was so worth the wait!
This is a fantastic series!
Tyson is the oldest of the Lovett boys. He’s the DA in Cypress Creek. He also helped put his father Roy in prison. Which he feels guilty for every waking day. When his dad was sent to prison he was left with the responsibility of taking care of his siblings. He’s just got news that Roy is being released. When Tyson visits his father he is sent to find Eve. Tyson is a bit puzzled as to how Eve is connected to his father. But all is not what it seems. Soon Tyson and Eve are in a hot heavy sexy relationship built by lies. I love everything about this new couple.
Then Eve’s father enters the picture.
My gosh this is good stuff. I didn’t expect this one!

Loved this series of Shameless Southern Nights and Rough & Rugged by J H Croix and Ali Parker is the conclusion of the Lovett brothers and their criminal father series. Tyson the eldest Lovett son who assisted in prosecuting of his father has been keeping secrets from his brothers and protecting both his father and his brothers. When possible release of his father from prison he asked Tyson to get in touch with his accountant Eve Cain. Tyson and Eve are instantly attracted to each other. The story takes on a life of its own and all is not what it seems. A very enjoyable suspenseful story with a HEA ending and a series not to be missed

Wow!!! Tyson’s story and finding out the truth was totally worth the wait!! Tyson has had to be the father figure, though his brothers never understood why he acted the way he did. His tightly controlled world begins to unravel when he is told by his father to find Eve. Their chemistry is instant, but can what the begin survive when danger is close and all the truths finally come out?No spoilers, you get to read this intense, danger filled passionate tale yourself. I LOVED it!!
Rough and Rugged is literally the ultimate story in the Shameless Southern Nights series and it lives up to its name in both ways. Part crime, some mystery, but ultimately a love story between two very cynical people who have been through their own share of heartbreak. Neither of them was looking for love, but love went looking for them. There are mysteries around the Lovett family surrounding the incarceration of their father Roy. As the District Attorney, the eldest son, Tyson, helped put his father in jail, but there are questions surrounding his imprisonment and forthcoming release. Someone is keeping secrets that could change everything. Tyson is tasked with contacting an accountant named Eve, but is she just an accountant? As she begins to tell him about his dad’s will, he realizes that she is a woman who could slip through his defenses. Eve is also attracted to Ty, but there is a secret she doesn’t want to divulge that would put a stop to anything between them. This is a fast-paced, tightly woven story with emotion, tension, drama and passion that is truly special. Best of all, questions are answered and all of the brothers’ lives are updated. Excellence!
ONE STUPENDOUS DELIGHT!!!
Woah Baby! Talk about laying on the line. This dynamic duo really brought out the magic in this tough as nails, on point realism that spins so intense, bursting with emotions bringing this gripping tale to life beautifully. The tension is thick, the chemistry is hot and the danger is off the charts. Twists and turns, ups and downs, along with a few bumps and bruises bring this baby together flawlessly. The characters and scenes are so realistic with such graphic detailed descriptions it feels as though your right there in the middle of ground zero with them. Fantastic job guys, thanks for sharing this little jewel with us.
This is the fourth book in the Shameless Southern Nights Series. Wow, what a book!. Be warned, once you start reading you’ll find it hard to put down. A page-turner for sure. This book has it all and it won’t take long for you to be caught up in the life of Ty and Eve. They are well-developed characters that will grab your heart and take you on an emotional journey. A great book by two wonderful authors. I read an arc and voluntarily chose to review.
