Editorial Reviews

Review

"Five and Rory's love story is EPIC. Its destiny, it's beautiful and it's f*cking tragic all at once. It is the greatest love story that JA Huss has EVER WRITTEN. It is two heartbeats keeping the same rhythm. Five and Rory's love defies everything. The love that spans this life, the next and the next and the next. Two souls that will forever be bound, that will always find each other, because there is no other option. It just is." ~ Michelle New - Goodreads Reviewer

"
JA Huss is beyond freaking brilliant. I can't even begin to describe the ride i just went on, but I'll see what I can do. Because really? It's #F*ckingFive and I've been waiting for him since he made his appearance in Guns. We knew he'd be amazing as soon as he took his Princess's hand and told Aunt Ronnie that he would take it from there." ~ Brandi Zelenka - Goodreads Reviewer

"I don't think I've ever been so nervous starting a book. Things were implied but if I've learned anything, it's that
JA Huss is the master at subterfuge." - Mindy Lou's Book Reviews

"The suspense killed me. And that is all I'm going to say. At the end, I didn't know up from down. Or right from left. I felt lost and found at the same time...
My feels died of shock, I think. But before that happened, there was excitement, love, anticipation...." ~ Lexxie (Un)Conventional Book Reviews

"Nothing is understated in this JAHuss novel.
I loved it, I couldn't get enough of it, I highly recommend it which is why I'm giving Five what else but FIVE FABULOUS F*CKING STARS." ~ Silvia - Goodreads Reviewer

"Wow. Just Wow. So bleeping good. I haven't read a make-me-evil-grin book likes this in month. I was hooked from the first pages.
There needs to be more writers like Julie." ~ Mistress of Romance - Kim Brown

    First let me say I Frigging Loved this BOOK! I Loved Five and I really loved Rory! Bravo Julie Huss Bravo, you did it again, you had me struggling to breath right off the bat and boohooing by chapter 7. My chest at times felt as though my heart was just going to keep pounding so hard until it blew out! Yep that's a good description. I am not going to Spoil, that's way to easy, as every True Fan needs to go in just as I did waiting until it hit my Kindle and opened it like a present at Christmas time, I don't think I have truly been as anxious for sure for a book in awile! The excitement and buildup, wait there is NO buildup we have been built up for two years waiting this out and It just grabs you by the Throat, Heart and you will choke, cry, and be frustrated by some Hot as sin sex....yep Five and Rory are pretty dirty!!!

    So some it appears are not Loving the book, WHAT, HUH and HOW?

    1. This author has worked on These two characters Story in her head for Two Years, Two Years of her life Five and Rory has lived, banging around. She Always comes through for me, she has yet to write anything I was not totally satisfied by nor ever felt my money was wasted! Now do I love some books better than others? Well of course I am not a freak that loves every word she writes BUT I have grown to trust she will give me what I deserve as a Loyal Fan, and she is a Real Writer, she doesn't write a book a month or every two weeks, nope this one was two years and on the second generation of a family that We Fans Love! She is the Real Deal and if you haven't Been Hussed well you are missing out!
    2. She gave You a Great Fulfilling Love Story! It could have gone so many different ways but man oh man I am so glad it went exactly as it did. She answered some questions from the Mister books and also added a few but we will know all come the end of October when she gives us an updated look at ALL the Misters which now includes Five and Rory!

    See I respect Julie A Huss to give me her everything in a book, a story above all stories on most days. Heck I was crying within this book by the 7th chapter, I am pretty sure I had tears in my eyes a couple times before that even and so many more after....OH These People....at the start of the book and by the end of chapter 7 I was just thinking this is going to be "Tragic" and break me, and how I felt that this was going to Rip my wide open....and later when I thought about the word I had first used it was the First Book that started All these characters from the Rook and Ronin a 7 book Series "Tragic, Manic, Panic" and then to Ford's Slack and Taut, Spencer was Bomb and Guns and in those four books we get Ronnie and Ashley with baby Kate. So when I am first thinking its going to be Tragic that early on and I was actually scared of what was coming...and later when I realized I had thought of the first book name I thought wow wonder if anyone else felt that way. But really I was scared of what had been mentioned about Rory in the "Misters Series" that this book is now the Prequel to and its tied to ALL These same characters. See This is an entanglement of the beauty of what becomes of characters to a writer and her Fans, they become Family and Friends, not ever just characters, nope they have names and personalities that we come to love and we begin to know them! So truly I was surprised to see a couple of people say they had waited like I had for 2 years and it wasn't good enough...Huh that kind of blows my mind and I wonder what they expected. I loved that we go back to Ft Collins in the future and also in the past. I Loved that Ollie is 12 in Five's book and oh boy do I love Ollie who becomes Oliver later, what a awesome kid, brother and friend...I want an Ollie and Five! Lol But in the Misters Oliver is in his twenties, I can't state his age of top of my head but 24 maybe? So it makes me wonder do the folks know Julie is writing the second generation of folks? The good guys and bad guys. I Love that Five and Rory find each other and embark on their long lost Love even though it is rough and bouncy, its one that they found and nurtured as kids, then teens until Five leaves for college. I Loved all the stuff about his grandpa, I loved the tidbits we get of them as kids on the Shrike farm... I Loved the stuff going on at Princeton. My heart was about to Bust wide open I mean at times in this book I had to close it and walk around like a person who has to stop every few minutes and smoke, well I don't even smoke any more (havent for 10 yrs in about 7 days thank goodness) but let me tell you this book was smoking Hot! Its got Sex, Guns, Mystery, Freaky Company people and of course we get to meet a lot of the kids but its mostly about Five and Rory and I was Glad! We get lots of action with the secret society, The Mob and even a backstabbing murderer... well of course The Good Genius peeps and a Preppy Princess come out swinging, I was a little surprised that Rory joined the club she chose and that her dad had not thoroughly checked it out, I don't know maybe it seemed so small in theory it was no need in a prestigious college as Princeton.....Ahhh Ford and Five shew I do love these guys, even though I loved Ford harder because well now I feel ok about that because that means Ford is way older, and much closer to my age as is Ronin as he is my favorite in that series, but truly I Love all the men in this family and the extended family as well, its like you meet them and cant not love them ya know?

    But anyways I Loved Five, will I reread it? Yes, Many Times, would I refer it to Friends WELL Heck Yes, I would Loan it out if need be, jeesh are you kidding me...and even buy it as a gift~ Julie A Huss has done it again. She continues to pound out these stories and then leaves us these little crumbs to the next one coming, not huge cliffs you fall from and I kind of love that, well I love ALL her books and Five well it or the Mr & Mrs book coming in Oct I say could be books of the year. Get it, if you have read the Rook and Ronin 7 book series and the "Coming Series which is now changed to be "The Company" James ummm I LOVE James, Wasted Lust I totally Love Sasha and her heartbreaking book and Meet Me In The Dark or the Misters you are caught up, if you have not read them I suggest you do before you read Five or it may come off a little weird because you wont understand it. So go get those books and then One Click this wonderful like a Fairy Tale Love Story but of course in the general Huss way which means nothing is usually what you think it is, you always get some kind of surprise or twisted mind games of a sort and I Love that!

    Oh, Five. Why do you have to be just as good as your father and all the ones who came before you?
    Honestly, I've been down the deep rabbit hole that is JA Huss for the past few years. And I'm glad I drank that juice because the worlds and the characters she has created continuously pull me in and never let me go. They always have something new, different, secretive and filled with so much suspense that I forget that I am reading and not experiencing a friend's crazy life.
    "But this is who we are. Headstrong, and bossy, and competitive."
    Now Five. What can I say about Five the character and Five the book without giving away the amazingness of this story? Well, we first met a glimpse of him over three years ago in Guns (Rook and Ronin spin off). But that was just the beginning of this world Julie has given us readers that made us fall in love with him. His dad is Ford, a genius that got himself into some major trouble with his friends Ronin and Spencer. But their story just began there because all these books, all these lives, all the lies and suspense seems to be intertwined with Rook and Ronin, The Company and the Mister Series. You don't need to read any of these to jump into Five, but trust that you will want to because to see the web that Julie has created out of these characters is way intense. How the heck does she do it?!
    But this is Five's story. Basically like a prelude to the Mister series. This is about him and his Princess, Rory (aka Aurora Shrike; yes Spencer Shrike's daughter). They have been fated to be together since the beginning of time but life and things out of their control have shifted them apart. Now we get to see what a grown up Five Aston and Rory Shrike are all about. And boy is it a dang doozy!
    "You are the love of my life, Aurora Shrike. My heart's desire. My soulmate. My fate. And there is nothing I want more than to give you everything you want. Show you the entire world. Make you happy."
    Five is like a more romantic version of his dad. He is beyond smart, able, bossy, sexy and full of perfection. He is the man you want on your side. Then their is Rory. She is just as bossy, able and beautiful and knows her worth. She won't be stepped on, but she will also play the game. She is a Shrike afterall and her mama is one fine shooter that taught her everything she knows.
    "We're a team...you and I, Ok? Spencer Shrike raised a warrior princess, not a helpless one."
    Man, these two are just perfect! When you wait so long for a character and their story, you almost expect that it won't live up to your expectations. But JA Huss? She frickin kills it and knocks it out of the park. It's everything and more and makes me wonder what she will bring next (those darn EOBS she teases us with). But know that you will feel. You will love the characters. You will love their suspenseful world. You will yell at these characters because you're not sure what lurks behind the next door. You will follow the breadcrumbs of clues but still will be all tied up and wonder what the heck could possibly happen now? But then again, it all seems like it was planned this way.
    If you want a traditional romance with an HEA, yeah, look somewhere else. This is an Adventure, A story, A life that you want to be a part of and figure out who all the side players are and what their intentions are. Who is the good guy? Who is the bad guy? Will they ever truly settle down? You become so involved in this story and the characters that you won't want to leave. Trust me. That's why I'm stuck in the JA MFing Huss rabbit hole. Come join us and drink the tea and see what the fuss is all about.
    "Societies rise through trust and they fall by corruption."
    Yup, they sure do Miss Huss. What ya got for us next in this society??

    Julie has done it again, if you have followed the series we all have been waiting for five and rories book, I held off for a few days reading this because I felt sad that this would be the last book, until Julie posted in her Facebook group that a Mr & Mrs book is coming out super excited about that! Now onto my review about this book, I cried yes cried at several spots during this book, who doesn't wish for the perfect soul mate? Rorie and Five are just that, perfect the story happens before the Mr books, we all wondered during that series what happened to the older sister we now know the whole story and no I'm not going to give spoilers I will say this book has a lot of action and some steamy love scenes that Julie is famous for, buy this book you will fall in love all over again with Julie's world ❤💙💚💛💜

    Wow, just wow....JA Huss certainly knows how to weave a fantastic, suspenseful, nail biting, beautiful, twisting mind f@ck of a love story. I've been waiting patiently for this one a long time, as have all of Julie's fans I'm sure, since Rutherford (Five) Aston V first appeared. It is set about 15 years before the Mister series (and about 6 years after HEA) and answers a lot of questions that came up in that series.

    The first part is all about Five and Rory's love story, their love was meant to be since childhood, but it was never going to be an easy road with their family and their history! The second part is where they are now and what they have to do to ensure their future together. Five is genius intelligent and mixed up in all sorts of "not strictly legit" things but when it comes to his Princess, he's soft and romantic and is not afraid to let her know how he feels and he never has. Rory is a bad-ass Shrike, she knows what she wants and isnt afraid to tell Five how it is, their love for each other is beautiful.

    "Because you’re the kind of prince who gives his princess the stars and then types up an instruction manual just to make sure she gets every ounce of joy out of it she can."

    I can't say a lot more about the story without giving something away, so I will just add.........

    I loved it, I loved F@cking Five and Princess Rory and it met all my expectations and more!

    So, what order should you read this, before or after the Misters? It is technically a prequel, labelled Mister 0.5. I guess it doesn’t matter to the overall storyline if you read this before, however as someone who read it after, I would definitely recommend you do the same. I think you'd lose the impact of some of the huge WTF moments that came throughout the Misters and of course, the magical build-up of the mystery that is Five himself.

    I love this world and the group of characters who live in it and cannot wait for the finale where hopefully all the little loose ends will get tied up (unless there is more.....who knows? ;-) ) and everyone gets to have their HEA in one form or another!

    I worried about reading this book because I've LOVED FIVE from his first appearance in Julie's other books (read them) and I really thought he was going to eff things up here and I would be left without a HEA. I was wrong. Julie never disappoints.this book was a great ride. Five is a rockstar (not literally.... just read it). TY Julie. You're a princess! 💝

    I have waited so long for this book. The build-up was intense and the expectations were HUGE. The Facebook fan page ‘Shrike Bikes’ has been full of chatter (gagging) for the arrival of this book and I cannot imagine anyone is disappointed.
    We have been teased, toyed with, given snippets of information and left literally gagging for this book. Julie has not disappointed. From start to finish, the story is complex, flows, bring back so many characters that you will LOVE if you have read the Rook and Ronin series and all the spin off books and the Mr Series. The love story is intense, the characters are really developed and its full of all the twists and turns, at pace that you would expect and love from one of these books.

    I would recommend reading at least the Mr series before reading this. If you fancy a super binge, read all the Rook and Ronin books, all the spin offs and the Mr Series and then you will be totally sucker punched when you read this fabulous book. You will then be left feeling like me.

    Before – so super excited I am almost losing it
    During – losing sleep, forgetting to eat, dehydrating and getting accused of having a ‘problem’ LOL
    End – simply wow wow wow
    After – completely hung-over and starting to binge read from the very start in readiness for the next instalment.

    A total Masterpiece – love it.
