The Closer: An enemies to lovers dark romance (The Hustlers Series Book 3)

The chemistry is obvious before they are in the same room and the sparks get harder to ignore the more time they spend together.

I think this may be my favorite of the series and that is saying something. I think the increase of animals might have something to do with it. The dogs are common, but there are a few I don’t think I have ever seen in a book

June and Dallas go from not speaking for two years to working together and move to something deeper while their friends watch it all happen.

I’m guessing this is the end of this series, but would not be upset to see more books featuring some of the background. I will be keeping up with Ms. Rossler and her releases.

The Closer by Rowan Rossler is book three in the Hustlers series. This is the first and only book that I have read and although I’m sure there would have been more things that I would have understood if I read the others, I had no issue with this as a stand-alone. This was a fast read for me because I was truly sucked into the story. I had to know what was going to happen between Dallas and June. And let me tell you I was NOT disappointed. A little shocked because of the twists I actually didn’t see coming but not disappointed. Needing help from someone wealthy and great in the business world, June puts her big girl undies on and all but begs for Dallas to help her. She just needs his money, nothing else…. Right? Phew, the lust and angst felt between these two is enough to get you to the end as fast as possible. Definitely made me want to go and check out other books by this author!

Wow!!! This story had me on edge the whole time. So much happening and the fear in your mind something will. The story did take some turns I was not expecting. I loved that June and Dallas had met previously and it added to the story in a dynamic way. Navarro will have you tense and swooning all at the same time. This story will pull at your heartstrings and keep you reading late into the night to just see what is going to happen next. This is the first book I have read from this author and I have to say it won’t be my last. I’ll be looking for the other books in this series. Excellent excellent entwining of characters.

This book was absolutely incredible and probably my favorite of the series! What an amazing finale to The Hustlers Trilogy! I am far from ashamed to admit that I neglected so many of my responsibilities as I was just absorbed in this story. The tension and chemistry between June and Dallas are palpable as it leaps out of the pages within the first chapter. They have some interesting history that makes you wonder in the beginning. Somehow this author is able to draw you into the story without you even realizing that you’re hooked until you finish the book. If you’re looking for a good slow burn romance with enemies-to-lovers drama, go ahead and pick this book up because it’s got what you want! I can’t wait to pick up more books by this author soon!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Closer is the perfect mix of intrigue and romance, and it is also my favorite of the series!!!!

This book caught my attention from the very first words and kept me enthralled until the last page! June has to face the man she detests and ask him to give her the money to save her startup project after a scandal threatens to crush her dreams. Dallas seems to have the magic touch where business is concerned, and June really needs that magic. However, she is NOT a fan of his terms and she isn’t quite sure where his money comes from. She isn’t an idiot, so she puts her personal feelings aside to save her company. From that first meeting, the action begins, so buckle up for the ride!

Both June and Dallas are complicated and complex characters. Dallas is more steeped in mystery, and that helps speed the story along. In addition, they are both intelligent and headstrong! For all of their animosity towards one another, they have a lot of the same qualities. The chemistry is sizzling, and it adds another layer to an already great book. The plot is great with so many twists and turns, and Rossler is a fantastic writer. She has given her readers a very smart romance putting her in a genre of her own!

I have read both of the previous books in the series, and I have enjoyed them. However, there was something really special about this one. Rossler was spot on when she described it as “Romancing the Stone” meets “The Wolf of Wall Street.” It was the perfect combination of intrigue and one simmering romance. If you have the opportunity to read this series, don’t miss it. The Closer is the icing on the cake!!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 3rd and final book in The Hussler Series. This series has been really enjoyable and a part of me feels sad that it’s now over. This is a steamy second chance enemies to lovers romance. There is so many twists and turns in this story that I wasnt sure if they would get their happy ever after. The author does an incredible job with the characters, they were so likeable even when Dallas was being cocky and arrogant i still couldn’t help but like him.

Dallas and June have a complicated past. They had chemistry and a chance of something special but one incident blew all that to pieces.
June is now a successful business woman. She has fought to get to where she is today and she made a promise that she would never do business with Dallas.
However her business is now on the rocks and the only person who can inject some money into it is the one person she doesn’t want to do business with.
When Dallas and June meet the sparks fly again but can they mix business with pleasure. Dealing with someone in business when there is sexual chemistry between them is a risky move but isn’t most things in business risky?
Could this be the the second chance for them to find their happy ever after with each other? Can they become a successful partnership in both their personal and professional relationships? Or will something happy that will tear them apart and cost them everything?

Elsbeth finds herself leaving Texas for a small island in Guernsey, it is fitting since her relationship has hit disaster in an embarrassing fashion. She never expects her new life to be embroiled in an unsolved mystery or to be spending time with Bishop, a man who is a mystery in itself. As everything begins to unfold, Elsbeth finds herself embarked in a journey she never anticipated.

This was completely unexpected for me. The story had a little bit of everything I look for in a book. I really liked Elsbeth and Bishop, intrigued from the beginning. Had several twists and turns I never expected. Will definitely go and read other books from this talented author.

This book seems to glorify spinning the block (returning to an ex) for no reason other than your feelings. While this works well in novels and books, it’s not realistic, for some. Honestly, I’m not hating on it but it seems predictable.This book also highlights how to balance work, love, and ego which I can appreciate about it, nonetheless. So, if you’re looking for a Hallmark movie in book form, here you go. Again, I loved the book for reasons other than love: But that’s just my take.

The Closer is the third book in The Hustlers Trilogy and is a wonderfully written Enemies to Lover’s Dark Romance that once you start reading there’s no stopping until you’ve finished. I literally devoured this book in one afternoon because I simply had to know what was going to happen next. This can be read as a standalone but I’d recommend reading this series in order as each book is so good. This story is packed with drama, secrets, explosive chemistry, action , romance and plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing till the end. June and Dallas, she’s in desperate need of help when a scandal strikes . Once the investors catch wind they slowly start to back out which leaves June in a situation she didn’t want to be in. Dallas is a business man who gets what he wants when he wants it. He doesn’t take no for an answer. These two have a history and their chemistry is off the charts. Can she save her company without destroying her heart in the process? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I’m already looking forward to reading more from this Author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This emotional rollercoaster will have you guessing until the end. There were lots of twists and turns. I was there for them all. This author managed to bring back all the characters from the series and wrap it up nicely.

When June is at her wits end, she decides her only choice is her nemesis. June chooses to approach Dallas, the biggest, wealthiest, and cockiest venture capitalist in the business. They have had a checkered past. It leads them to this moment in time. June needing help, Dallas looking for his next big success.

Dallas accidently links their lives together with one invitation. In such a short time, Dallas and June become so much more than business partners. Not giving any details, can’t give it away.

The author rips your heart out and then puts it back with love and care. Read this book. Read this series. Beautifully written.

So picking up author Kellie Wallace for the first time I didn’t know what to expect, but boy oh boy was I instantly a fan. This book was so well written that it truly kept me on the edge of my seat, trying to figure out whodunit. Like I’m usually not a murder mystery person, but I said what the heck and picked it up and gave it a try(I highly recommend you do the same, you will not regret it). This book has a preternatural element to it. I think that’s why I enjoyed it soo much. This book will play with your emotions heavily and has some nail biting suspenseful twists and turns. With more and more danger from every secret that’s uncover.I now want to go check out some of the authors’ other books, especially the Earthbound Series, and Darkness Before Dawn books. They look super intriguing to read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’ve read every book in this series so far and I was beginning to wonder if the author was ever going to give Jake a redemption story. The Changed Man is finally that story. I felt for Jake in book 1 even though he was essentially one of the villains of the story. The author has introduced the reader into a wonderful world with many different characters. These books are a series best read in consecutive order. However they can be read as standalone novels too.
Dealing with the death of a friend(who now lives in his head) in front of his eyes Jake upends his life. Resigning from his job. Reuniting with his family, especially his twin Joe. Jake is trying to find himself, and he feels his writing is the best route to go. Having written a book featured on the NY Times bestseller list that’s also in talks to become a movie he feels this is the right way to go. Though he knows mom would never approve, hence his pen name.
Along the way he meets Chiara who happens to be the guardian of his brother’s son, and she’s married. Though he can’t keep his eyes off of her. He wants her despite the obstacles and things between them do get close and dicey.
He also has to deal with a habitual flirt when the actor who he wants to be the star in his movie shows up out of the blue.
Will Jake prove he’s a changed man?
What will happen between him and Chiara?
Will the impact of losing his friend be his downfall?
So many questions come up throughout this story. But again I will say I’m glad he finally got his story. And it’s probably my favorite book thus far.

Elsbeth is on quite a rollercoaster of experiences in this novel. There is the difficult decision of breaking an engagement, the loss of an aunt, an unexpected inheritance, a move and all of the forms of grief that come along with big life changes. You see her relationships with her mom, dad and sister, and you meet a very interesting cast of new characters along the way.

When Elsbeth decides to take a leap on new opportunities even though her father is ill, it quickly becomes overwhelming between the cottage, selling her property and working her way through her emotions. When she meets Bishop and realizes they have a connection, will it make her life seem more manageable, or just be another ride she has to bare until she can work through it at the end? Bishop wants to protect Elsbeth as they work together to solve the mystery. When they get to the end, will Bishop be strong enough to keep her safe, and will she be strong enough to hold on through her pain?

So much mystery. This is my third new author for the month of April and so far, my favorite. The world Kellie Wallace builds is one of reality and possibilities. Main female character Elsbeth is intriguing and inspiring.
Elsbeth feels at peace in nature and when she finishes renovating essentially her dream home everything begins to end and begin at the same time. Her boyfriend of three years had never been faithful with her and yet she held on to the hope until he proposed the night, she found proof, and a light went off and she was done. She began to take back her life, her independence and a call from her mom gave her everything she needed to move forward. Great-aunt Lorraine had passed away, she had a remote island off the coast of Guernsey and was the opportunity she needed to, as her daddy said, fly and be free. But quickly she begins to see the flaws in her hope and the light when Bishop appears in the middle of the night at her door.
Can Elsbeth help Bishop discover his past? Will Elsbeth be able to solve the mysteries of her new island before it becomes too much? How can she move forward when everything is said and done? Everything about this book pulls you in and fills you with the mystery and emotions of the characters as you hope for Elsbeth to get everything she deserves and more. Cannot wait to read more by this incredible author.

This was an enjoyable read. The author did a great job building the characters and. Elsbeth’s journey was full of twists and turns. This story had romance, suspense, paranormal, family and more. Even though there were many elements going on in this book the author did a good job bringing all together so that I became invested in the outcome. I found myself rooting for Elsbeth to find happiness and. There are a lot of emotions, grief, love, forgiveness, happiness. I could feel the ups and downs of the characters’ emotions as they went through them. It was hard to put this book down once I started.

This book is quite a whirlwind of emotions and themes rolled into one quick read. It starts out with headache and grief for Elsbeth as she is experiencing new changes and beginnings in her life. This ends up taking her to Guernsey, a newly inherited cottage to try to piece her life back together. While there, he ends up meeting Bishop who also has his own past demons to come to terms with. Mystery, romance, paranormal activity and more all end up at Elsbeth’s new emergence. What a way to kick off new beginnings. All characters have such depth and interesting stories behind them as well!

After her ex leaves her with major trust issues and walls that she doesn’t want anyone to get past, Emma is content with one night stands. When she meets Liam, she is attracted to him…and soon, their one night stand turns into two, which turns into a friends with benefits situation. To get his inheritance, Liam must get married and stay married for a year…so their friends with benefits situation seems ideal to turn into a marriage of convenience. But, as seems to happen, feelings start emerging and the walls she has erected around her heart begins to crumble. Will these two admit the way they are really feeling…or will they part ways in a year, with Emma already seeing a broken heart in her future? Will they even make it a year?

The way these two fight their feelings made me chuckle…and want to knock their heads together! There was great character growth throughout the story and I enjoyed watching their relationship grow along the way. There were some steamy scenes scattered along the way that left no doubt that these two were compatible between the sheets! Overall, a good story that I enjoyed reading!

She is an incredibly relatable character that goes through such traumatic events, but somehow has an impossible resolve. All of the characters had in-depth development, and the flow of the story was great. This author has an amazing talent to craft a story that stands out as unique in a very competitive genre. Get ready for the twists and turns that you won’t see coming and experiencing every emotion possible throughout this book. If you love paranormal romances, then this should be your next read without a doubt!

This was a captivating romance with a paranormal twist which kept me hooked throughout. Having inherited a house from a long-lost relative off the coast of Guernsey, Elsbeth embraces the chance to start again. Elsbeth moves into the remote cottage and enjoys her new idyll surrounded by crystal waters and gray seals. However, when a mysterious stranger turns up her new life is threatened as Bishop claims to be an angel searching for his bones. As Elsbeth and Bishop grow closer they uncover dark secrets about the cottage and learn about the double murder that happened there. The more they discover about its history the more of Bishop’s past comes to life, and Elsbeth has to confront her own demons. The engaging storyline kept me gripped, whilst the descriptive narrative brought both the characters and the setting to life, which made me feel immersed in the story.

Elsbeths’ life was in shambles and needed something. A well-timed inheritance was just what she needed because it let her move and start anew. However, she inherited more than just a house and has to help save her new friends before she herself gets hurt. This book was well written and kept the audience engaged. Different twists and turns in the story made it exciting but yet not hard to follow.
