This book drew me in from page 1. It answered questions that I didn’t know that I had from previous books. It was very hard to put down.
I received a ARC for a fair and honest review.
For some reason I was reluctant to read this book but now that I have I could kick myself for the original lack of interest. Not sure how I missed the first three books in the standalone series but now I will have to go and find them to get the complete backstory.
This book by itself gives you a lot of information so that you are not lost but I want to read about his brothers too. Once I picked this books up I did not want to put it down. The characters are interesting and believable. The author wove a story that could be in the headlines today. She kept the story going at a descent pace to keep the reader focused on the issues being revealed.
Overall, if you like a little mystery, embezzlement, family dysfunction and secrets I would suggest picking up this book to may your day.

This is the last in the Shameless Southern Nights series and the focus is on Tyson, he helped put his father away in prison, now someone wants him out, but why? Tyson goes to see his father and is told to go see Eve, but Eve has secrets, ones she can’t say.
Can Tyson protect those he loves, who is after his father, will secrets be told.
Fabulous conclusion to what for me was an incredible series.

4.5 Stars
This is book 4 in the Shameless Southern Nights series and it features Tyson and Eve. The anticipation was brutal. The mystery is FINALLY solved. Eve was quite the surprise and was a match for Tyson in EVERY way. It was nice to see the regular, human side of Tyson instead of just the workaholic. He’s actually very sexy and very talented. I was a little disappointed that Beau didn’t get his own book with the entire story of his and Charise’s romance. I was also expecting Penny to find her happily ever after since she was actively dating, looking for the ONE but I guess some things will remain a mystery.
There was one or two small issues regarding the investigation that weren’t explained but all in all it was a great book in an excellent series. ALL the characters were pretty amazing, which is what kept me coming back for more. I can’t wait to see what these talented authors have in store for us next, either together or separately.
Reading this book was bittersweet. I was excited to read Tyson’s story but sad to see the series come to an end. The book had everything you could want. It was HOT, steamy, funny, frustrating, scary and anything else you can think of. I laughed, cried, fanned myself (A LOT!!) and bit my nails a time or two. Loved Tyson & Eve. Both are really good characters and they are great together. Wonderful ending to a really great series.

This is the book I didn’t realize I was waiting for. And now that I’ve finished reading it, I’m not anywhere ready for it to be over already. Tyson Lovett is the oldest son and he’s been standing in as a father figure for his younger siblings for what feels like his whole life. When the mess surrounding the Lovett patriarch flared back up again, it’s going to take every skill Ty possesses to protect their family and bring the guilty to justice. And just who exactly is Eve, the enticing accountant his father sends him to? Is she just another innocent caught up in the web of lies and deceit or is she part of the problem that landed him in prison in the first place? The chemistry between Tyson and Eve is instant and scorching. Sparks crackled across the surface of my reader every time they were in the same scene. This was not at all how I expected it all to end, but I loved it! It makes perfect sense.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
Wow, what a compelling & beautifully crafted read.
This blew me away, every emotion you could ever feel came into play. This author is seriously talented, she draws you in & just when you think she’s going to spit you out, she comes to the rescue with her roller coaster, holy guacamole, sexy as sin & intense chapters. This one was epic, I laughed out loud (that scares the hubby), I cry a lot, he’s used to that so he offers wine! I digress, wish there were more stars to rate this because it captured my heart, BIG time.
I received an ARC & this is my honest & voluntary review.
This book has everything: angst, intrigue, twists, romance, and LOTS of heat! In this book, we find Tyson, the eldest Lovett brother and DA of Cypress Creek, in the worst possible situation he’d ever want to be in: out of control. There are things happening behind the scenes in his father’s case that render Tyson’s usual arsenal of laws and manipulations totally unaccessible. Furthermore, he is off kelter and out of his element with Eve, the only person his father trusts with his will and the only woman to have such an effect on him. Eve, an accountant who keeps to herself and hides her true identity, finds herself in an unfamiliar situation as well since her attraction to Tyson is making her break all her rules and putting her heart at serious risk. Neither wants to get too deep, but for totally different reasons. If you’vre read the other books in the Shameless Southern Nitghts series, you will find all the answers to the questions that have been piling up, including the ones in this book. I loved getting to see all the characters from the previous books again and seeing the mysteries finally unravel. The only thing I didn’t love about the book was that it was the last one in the series! My recommendation is to sit back, get comfortable (because you’ll be wanting to read for a long while), and enjoy!!!

Tyson is the oldest of the Lovett boys and the District Attorney who helped put his dad in prison. Someone will a lot of pull is trying to get his dad out of prison. Eve does the boys for her best friend Penny’s bakery. She has a secret that could jeopardize her relationship with Tyson. This mysterious storyline and sizzling hot chemistry between Eve and Tyson was thrilling to read. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Wonderful contemporary romance with intrigue and suspense. These two authors are incredibly talented and together brought this book to “life” for readers to enjoy. All the characters are well developed so that you feel you know them. The story line added so the book was a page turner, can be read as a stand-alone with a HEA. The blurb barely touches what readers can expect in the story but this combination of authors know how to please their readers and entertain.
Such an Amazing Southern-based Series.
This book reaches the conclusion of the infamous Cypress Creek family, the Lovett Sons, Beau, Sonny, Jeremy, Evan, and this book whose storyline centered on the eldest, Ty. It has been a long bittersweet journey for the sons,
And perhaps none more than Ty who, as the District Attorney helped send his father, Roy, to prison and is helplessly watching him being released knowing his dad’s life is in peril once he leaves the prison’s gates.
Ty is pushed, by his dad into the life of Eve, an accountant. She has kept a bold secret for many years that involves Roy. As they develop strong feelings for each other, her procrastination results in her secrets being revealed by others and tears Ty and her apart. Can she right this? Can he?
this has been a wild and intense series, but well worth it. There’s just something passionate about southern stories that move me.
Definitely recommending this book for your reading enjoyment and pleasure.
I am leaving this review for your consideration. Peace.
While Tyson is trying to protect his family because of what their father did to them years ago he meets Eve. He was sent to her by his father but he told Tyson to be careful because not everyone is as they seem. As they get close, Eve is afraid to reveal who she really is because she doesn’t want to lose Tyson. Then as his father is getting closer to being released from prison because some with a lot of pull is pulling strings and there is nothing Tyson can do to stop it, all hell breaks loose between Eve and Tyson and he finds out who her family really is but doesn’t let her explain. He just tells her that he never wants to see her again and walks away. Will Tyson find out the real truth about Eve and who her family from his dad? Will Eve be able to forgive him for the hurtful things he said to her? Can they work things out?
Rough and Rugged will have you on the edge of your seats It is a continuation in the saga of the Lovett family. Roy is slated to be released from prison and it will cause all types of problems to keep him and their family safe. Tyson is shocked when he finds out just who her father is. Will her deception and Ken’s betrayal ruin a good relationship in the making? This story is filled with action packed drama that will have you on the edge of your seat. I voluntarily agreed to receive an ARC of this book for an honest review.
This book has it all: romance, suspense, intrigue, disappointment, family loyalty, and HOT chemistry between the main characters. While this is primarily Tyson and Eve’s story, it is SO MUCH MORE! Great collaboration between two wonderful authors makes for a great new book!
