Another brother who will sweep you off your feet! Ethan is such a great guy with a heart of gold. Andi is a little quirky which made me love her even more. Andi has been burned before and has some trouble finding her footing in the relationship but once she finds it she’s all in. This is a great family and I’ve enjoyed getting to know them all.

always a good time

It’s Marika Ray writing AND it’s in “Hell” AND it’s the last Hellman brother…. All of that equals a spectacular all the feels book!

It was great. I loved Ethan and Andi and the whole Hellman clan and the whole dang town.

 Ethan, oh sweet Ethan. He loves completely. As the baby in the family he feels he has a lot to live up to, but he is such a sweetheart. He is the Nice Guy. and as they say Nice guys finish last. Oh, but then they do it is glorious! Well done Marika on the last Hellman brother! So happy to see he finally got his crazy HEA.

Liked - Enjoyed reading even though Andi became more annoying with time. While I like Ethan, I found him too sweet and forgiving to be remotely believable as a real character in a real-world setting.

Just because my life was crumbling like a cookie in the fist of a sugar-addicted toddler

They only keep you on because you’re a kiss-ass. Have fun smelling like shit.

Before I knew it, there was a mess of bath bombs both on the floorboard of my truck and exiting my truck, like little round soldiers heading for freedom post-haste.

The couple had been married for seventy-four years with no children to give their belongings to. I figured a ring that outlasted wars, famines, and the stress of everyday life was a special one indeed.

So you lied to make people you used to know have a good opinion while the lie made the person you say you love feel like shit.

My shoulders rolled back, and I felt like Wonder Woman when bullets harmlessly bounce off of her.
