    This is another great book in this series. I am really enjoying this series. So much so that I am having trouble putting them down. At first I didn't think I would like them but I was wrong. Can't wait to read the next.

    This is a fast pace series, lots of ups and more ups and lots of love! You will never get bored,you think you know how the story goes and then it's a complete opposite. Like you think Alex will give up part of his life but he does a one eighty but I like to think it has to do with the love for Madison. These two were made for each other,when it looks like Alex is going down a rabbit hole in his life she has a way to bring him back,with a look,words or a touch! If anyone is looking for action pact,love,thrills and a few laughs read this series, It's worth more than five stars and it won't let you down and it keeps you on the edge of you seat for sure.

    Alex and Madison’s story continues. And who doesn’t love Paco? The books need to be read in order to make sense of everything that happens. My biggest disappointment is that the next book won’t be available for another six months. I recommend reading this series for a great love story and a fascinating adventure.
    I want to thank the author for making this available through Kindle Unlimited.

    I'm not a fan of series but everytime I get an Alex Drake I can't put it down which is a bummer because then I'm done too quickly. I truly love Madison and Alex. I can't wait to see what's next for them. I want a book for Paco. That was a smart move on Alex's part to suggest Paco to take over for Stone. I'm intrigued by both Cole and the new"Alex". Could it be....

    Thanks and Happy reading!!! 😊

    I enjoy the Drake books. I couldn't figure out why I stopped reading them. Until I read this book. There is a character I don't find funny. I know there are mental issues part of it, but some of the things she does are disrespectful and the other characters put up with her.
    Other than that, I loved the story. Alex and Madison got their happiness. Alex finally putting what he really wants first.

    Such a great story. Lots of ups and downs and twists and mystery. You loose a star for leaving us on a cliffhanger with a year before the next book. Ugh!

    Reviewed in Australia on July 31, 2022
    Lexxi James has done it again

    To be submerged in the world of Alex Drake, is not one to be missed

    Riding on the high of his nuptials to Madison, he is on cloud nine, his love for her binding, his bride basking in the glow of her pregnancy. But there is someone connected to his past, a friend who is seeking redemption for his sins, but there is something underlying, that they can’t quite grasp yet.

    Madison is very much in love with her husband, she knows how to give as good as she gets, keeping Alex grounded and focused, she knows how to play, fun and flirty seems to be her style, whilst keeping it real.
    Alex becomes conflicted when an opportunity is presented to him, he dislikes keeping secrets, but with reason, and when Madison goes missing and subsequent found, he has his answer.

    Family, friendship and loyalty mean everything to Alex, but the readers get to see a glimpse of the man through the eyes of a child, and what his life was like, why he’s so reserved. But it’s Madison who surprises him all the more with a birthday party, one he cherishes, yet the bittersweet moment is where he’s given the most precious gift from his wife and in-laws that’ll make you cry all the more.

    But nothing prepares them for the shock of their life when they discover that Madison is pregnant with twins, and life as they know it for them will never be the same again, but they wouldn’t have it any other way.

    This story is told from different POV, it will take you on a wild ride, having you turn page after page. This book had me from beginning to end, it told a telling story, this author definitely knows how to write. This book has it all romance, humour, fun, love, family, friendship, laughter, surprises, redemption, roller coaster of emotions, drama, action, loyalty, intrigue, revenge, adrenaline seeking suspense, twists, turns, truths.

    Reading this story, it enables the  readers to really connect with the characters, and as the story unfolds the readers see the development and growth from the characters singularly and together. 

    And those s*x scenes were steamy, yet sensual, dirty, hot, intense, physical, provocative, it had all the pleasure and passion one would except. Alex and Madison take what they want without consequence, each giving the other pleasure they deserve, his possessive and obsessive need for control and dominance, it was off the charts and had all of the feels.

    Cannot wait to see where we find them next!

    Reviewed in Canada on May 23, 2024
    Okay, this one I found a bit "slower" ......
    It was a fast read, good plot but I don't know how I feel about the ending!
    I felt that we didn't get a lot of substance.
    However in saying all that, I love the characters and how they are all family.
