It wasn’t as if Everett Hudson didn’t believe in love. It was more like he didn’t have time for love. Hard-working and career driven, the most important thing for him was to have a secure future and his entire world only revolved around achieving that. Well, that was until he ended up blurting out to his family that he was dating a co-worker and introduced her to his family as his fake fiancee.… fiancee.
The main reason that Alexa Stone moved to Irving was to support her family even more, financially speaking. The most important thing in her life was her family and she didn’t have time for anything else. But then she met Everett and what started out as an innocent crush turned into teetering at the cliff of falling in love when she agreed to fake a relationship with him.
Would they allow themselves to freely fall in love or would their principles get in the way of what their hearts truly wanted?
This is a standalone steamy contemporary romance novel with no cheating and a guaranteed HEA.

She is a mystery, then a co-worker and then so much more
Sudden Love is the third book in The Hudson Brothers series and this time it is Everett who finds love………….well that is a fake fiance that becomes so much more than he ever expected. Everett is a forensic scientist for the Irving Police Department. He is “buttoned up” and nerdy to say the least but he loves what he does. One night his brothers get him out to a nightclub and he meets a woman when they bump her so her drink spills. Everett apologizes but the whole thing is more than awkward, but he does ask her to go for coffee and she actually accepts. When they are taking a taxi home, to drop her off first, she kisses him but then jumps out without sharing any contact info, including her name.
Now it is a month later and Everett is told at work that there will be another person working in the lab with him. Let’s just say he is not really happy but when he sees who it is he is more than surprised. It turns out that Alexa, his mystery coffee date, is actually a forensic scientist also and is to be his new co-worker. As the department has strict no fraternization rules in place they do try to keep things as professional as possible. Well maybe not quite so much as they are each attracted to the other but it does take a long time in this slow burn romance. But once they finally do light the match to their spark it ignites like a roman candle.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
3.5 stars The story between Everett and Alexa is cute but I also found it slow to read – took me twice as long as normal. Several tangents were started and either abandoned or given a lackluster conclusion. It would have been nice if one of the cases was better followed from beginning to end or specificity about the type of research Everett was involved in was provided. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
The Sudden Love is the third book in Emma Vikes’ Hudson Brothers series. It focuses on Everett Hudson, a workaholic at a police forensic lab, and Alexa Stone, who he meets at a bar but becomes his lab assistant. When he invites her to Thanksgiving dinner since she is alone and then tells his family she is his girlfriend when his brother makes a play for her. I recommend this great novel with its charming characters and a fake to real romance storyline.

I loved Everett’s story and honestly so far, it’s been my favorite. Everett is a bit of a loner and he’s different than the rest of his brothers. He’s not a playboy. He’s not out chasing women and racking up one-night stands. He’s always kept his focus on his career. Everything he’s ever done has been to achieve success in his chosen career as a forensic scientist.
Everett meets Alexa at a club on night. He’s not one for clubs but his brothers drug him out one night on the pretense of planning his brother Milo’s bachelor party. Alexa was drug there by her best friend. Everett’s brothers force a meeting between them, and they end up leaving the club together to talk. They part ways several hours later after sharing on kiss figuring they’d never see each other again but it turns out fate had other plans. Alexa is the new forensic scientist the department hired to help out. They’re attracted to each other, but they work together. They’re both career focused and not wanting to mess that up by getting involved. Can they work things out and find happiness? Or will they be too frightened to give their relationship a chance.

A mishap at a bar will bring Everett and Alexa in a chance meeting that will let them spend some time together at the cafe. Later they meet again at the job site where Alexa will work along Everett. Interaction with these two are so exciting to watch unfold! And action speaks louder then words. A wonderful story !

This is book 3 in the Hudson brother’s series and it is Everett’s story. I will have to say that Emma has really out done herself with this book. If you like sweet, loving, slow burn love stories than this is the book for you.
Everett is not like the other Hudson boys; he’s more the nerdy type and he is dedicated to his work. His brothers decide he needs to live a little so they take him out one night. While they’re all hanging out the brothers decide to accidentally spill a drink on this girl. Everett goes to Alexa, who he instantly feels a connection to and follows her outside. Alexa kisses Everett quickly and runs off leaving both of them feeling something but knowing that nothing will could possibly ever come from that kiss, or could it? The surprise is when Alexa returns later landing her new job with none other than Everett. They are both in shock and try to deny the chemistry they feel towards one another and they know they have to keep their relationship on a friend only basis because they work together. Everett does a good job at this until the holidays roll around and he realizes Alexa is all alone and he invites her over to join his family for Thanksgiving so she’s not alone. What happens when everyone starts to question their connection, well Everett tell them that him and Alexa are in a relationship. Alexa agrees to play along with his plan, but then things change when they cross that line.
Emma does such a great job bringing us this sweet slow burn love story and it melted my heart in so many ways. I promise you won’t be disappointed in Everett’s and Alexa’s journey, and how they put others needs in front of their own, so just one click to enjoy this great book.

I couldn’t believe that Everett was next in line for his happily ever after. Alexa and Everett are such a great couple. It was difficult for me to believe that Everett was the one who started everything in the story. Alexa knew that she wouldn’t be able to stop herself once she said yes to Everett, yet she went along with it. I’m glad that Alexa’s mom helped her see straight because Alexa and Everett deserved their happily ever after. I received a free copy of this story from the author and reviewed voluntarily.

This is the third book in the Hudson Brothers series, & I think probably my favourite!
Everett & Alexis are both such lovable characters, & their story is a classic.
As with all the characters in the series, there are a series of road blocks on the way to HEA, but you find yourself rooting for them from chapter 1.
Now I just have to wait for book 4!

Everett is a hard worker and never goes out just to relax. His brothers take him out. He meets Alexa. Months later he is introduced to his new co worker. She just happens to be the girl from the bar. Everett liked her from the first time he laid eyes on her. He has never been in love and is not really sure how to handle it. After inviting Amelia to Thanksgiving dinner he announces that she is his girlfriend so his family stops asking if he’ll ever have one. While in this fake relationship is when he realized this is love but doesn’t know how to show his feelings.

I love this series, and Everett and Alexa’s book was a great addition. It’s a fun friends-to-lovers/fake relationship story. I loved getting to see all the Hudson family again!
Emotional story.
Am loving this series about the Hudson brother & was looking forward to reading Emmett’s story. He was the more serious one committed to his job not expecting anything else from life until he stumbled into Alexa in a nightclub & after he kissing him only once then left him he couldn’t get her out of his mind. By chance she happened to then be his new work colleague where they both had some connection but neither would say out loud until she agreed to be his fake girlfriend for his brothers wedding. They both had things in common & Alexa had an emotional ties to her family feeling that she didn’t want to get hurt when he didn’t understand & leave her. Neither one would commit afraid of getting their hearts broken so they kept their distance. This was a sweet but emotional love story that has you hoping they can overcome their fears giving into love. I can’t wait to read Julian’ s story.

Everett was beyond awkward with women. More of an intellectual focused on his work, his brothers do their best to normalize him and get him out into the world. He found his mate in Alexa who was equally intelligent and also seeking a special someone.
This fake girlfriend romance was sweet and written in a contemporary upbeat way. I liked Alexa’s mom and the loving support she gave as Alexa tried to navigate through her feelings for Everett and his mixed messages.
A totally feel good read from start to finish!

The Sudden Love is the third book in the Hudson Brothers series and is definitely my favorite. My heart warms to those characters that are awkward and clueless when it comes to love.
Everett is a caring character that focuses on his work and has put it before finding a relationship. Alexa is strong and is determined to do what she needs to take care.of her family. She is afraid of falling in love with someone who may not know the importance of her desire.
Ev and Alexia story is so innocently sweet, I enjoyed each turn of the page a I read their story.
