4.5 stars

One of my biggest problems with the most recent books by this author is the overlapping of series and the newest generation of characters (aka the kids) from the original series. For example...I've had the worst luck when it comes to the kids from Freebirds series. For the vast majority of them, I just don't like the characters. Harleigh was another one that just rubbed me the wrong way. She had an entitledness to her that just irritated me. Using someone's property and arguing with them about how it doesn't belong to them when they ask you to leave shouldn't be ok or funny. But Harleigh just acted like everything belonged to her because she wanted it and had been using it. Didn't it seem at all odd to her that there was an existing hammock on the property next door? But ok, assuming that the previous owner of your home left it, shouldn't you find out if it's on your own property or not before using it? And if it IS on your neighbor's property, and they kindly ask you to vacate their property, shouldn't you just do that as opposed to arguing with them and telling them they don't know what they're talking about?!

It took a while for her to grow on me. And I wasn't exactly feeling the attraction between them. Ok, yes. Both Harleigh and Slate told me they were attracted to the other person but...the chemistry wasn't there for me initially.

I loved this quick read. Slate was very interesting because he had been through so much but Harleigh was a great match for him because she helped him through his issues and yet kept him on his toes.

5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️- Excellent - Highly Recommended
4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - A good, solid read
3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ - An okay read
2 ⭐️⭐️ - Meh
1 ⭐️ - Not my cup of tea

Loved this series so much. I’m glad I found this author.

Harleigh Belle and Slate Solis, their relationship was one that started out of a misunderstanding. Then when things start coming to light, there's no holding back. I love that another of the Free kids is finding their happy ending. And its always good to see the original members of Free. The little glimpses of Slate that you got in the previous book in the Bear Bottom Guardians MC series has kept me demanding more of him. And now that I get his book I just couldn't help but love it. Harleigh Belle and Slate are the perfect couple. She reminded me of her mother and the way that Slate was reminded me of her father. And in the end they came together and the perfect couple was created, that balanced each other out.
Its just sad to be at the end of the Bear Bottom Guardians MC series, but I know that we will see these characters again in the future.

Gonna just say I found the heroine Harleigh super annoying. She was a grown woman and her petty attitude when she didn't get what she wanted wasn't attractive in the least. If it hadn't been for her being a hot chick the hero Slate wouldn't have dealt with that crap. He should've just took the hammock down and then seen where whiny Harleigh was with her naps. Ugh.

I also found it to be a cop out that LLV once again throws the ex or in Slate's case, a dead ex, under the bus. Things were bad or getting there, he had doubts, she cheated etc etc. Always with the easiest path out of any true angst or drama.

And when Slate said the moment he fell in love at 55% ??? Hahahaha sure buddy.

And allllwaayyyys with the "virgin in the figurative sense" come on! I've not read about so many "virgins" essentially popping their own cherries by using dildos ever until I read LLV series'. It's ridiculous to think this is the norm on top of heroes with monster dicks just ramming up in there with no repercussions.
