To the End: Hannaford Prep Year Four
H**H
I DIDN'T WANT IT TO END, EVER EVER EVER.
NO REALLY THOUGH, GUYS.I. Did. Not. Want. It. To. Ever. End.I actually stopped reading a quarter of the way in and cried to my mom and to my husband because of how my heart won't be able to take it ending. I have fallen, head over heels, for each and every character in this book. When it started, I thought "oh basically a typical Bully Romance (which I adore, ragardless)" but BOYYYY WAS I WRONG.When the tide turns, and Avery and Lips become best friends, it made my heart the happiest it's ever been. Fixing crowns all of 2020, instead of breaking them. I love it, I couldn't get enough. Their relationship probably excited me the most out of all of the,, even all of Starbright's guys. Though, let me tell you. WHOOOo I've never seen/imagined/loved/read about such sexy men. All of them. For their own reasons, in their own ways of course, but I ADORE THEM ALL. EVEN ILLI. Ugh Illi. I cannot wait for his book and I thank the gods every day that J Bree is giving us more of this world. I really was not ready to say goodbye.The blood diamonds for favors thing, I couldn't get over how BA that whole thing is. This world is uniquely it's own, there will never be anything that compares to this ever ever ever. And I love that fact, that it shocked me it the directions it went. Also how dark it got, with the parents, and Joey, and Joey senior. The things that go down, make me sick to my stomach. But the descriptions, and emotion J Bree wrenches out of you, is just. Ugh, chills.How much Lips has grown since book one is unbelievable. And you can see throughout, how Ash, Blaise, Harley, Avery, Illi, Doc, how they all heal her. You can see them holding her together and stitching her back up again. The character growth with them ALL, is so admirable and so real and relateable.JFC, I can go on and on y'all, really. Can't you tell? I'm effing gushing over here.Anyways, an all time favorite series. If my review doesn't do it, go look at all the others.J Bree is a mad, evil, perfect, amazing genius, her pen and words her weapon to my heart. I'll never get over these books. I'll always reread them. I'll always reread anything J Bree writes.Deserves a f ton more than 5 stars, more like a million and a half. But 5 if all I can give.

HOLY MOTHER OF BOOK LOVERS!
I FREAKIN LOVE THIS SERIES! This is the perfect ending to the series. Lips, Harley, Blaise, Ash, Avery, Illi/Butcher and Odie. There are some new additions in this book and IT'S SO EXCITING!! I never wanted it to end. With all the suspense, mystery and intrigue at times I couldn't sit still. At times I was crying over Lips getting hurt and it's as if I could almost feel the emotions of the guys and Avery's fear over Lips getting hurt coming off the pages. The heat between Lips and the guys is so intense I thought my Kindle was gonna spontaneously combust. Lips spidey senses are so sharp and her bullsh*t meter is under n the red. Atticus is a puzzle to me I still can't figure him out. I don't know if I completely trust him or not. I think he means well but I also think he may have brought some of the trouble to fabulous five. The guys are such Hot alpha possessive men especially Ash he is definitely a dirty talkin bad boy. Wow! I'm in love. The Jackel has gone off the rails. He's just off the charts batsh*t crazy. The whole crew have to ride through hell to get to the other side. When surprises start showing up their doorstep no one expects things to turn out the way they do. There are so many twists and surprises it's shocking. This book was such a page turner for me the story was full of Oh Hell No and WTF Moments it so exciting. Lips and Avery are the twisted sisters. Lips has changed so much since book one. She's tough but vulnerable but still totally bad@ss. This book shows just how tough the guys really are and they would all die for each and every one of the family including Illi. At times my heart was breaking for Lips, she's so torn. I EXTREMELY RECOMMEND THIS SERIES TO EVERYONE!! I absolutely love the new additions. Poe had me cracking up, I loved her instantly. She quite the sassy little spitfire.

A phenomenal ending to an epic series (though I refuse to accept this is the end)
I'm going to start this review by restating something I said in my reviews on the other books. Hannaford Prep is hands down the best book series I have ever read and J. Bree nailed this story so perfectly that I'm struggling to find the words to convey how spectacular this story is. It's an RH yes, it's a romance yes but it is soooo much more than that. This series is everything. It really cannot be labeled or classified as one thing. You want suspense and action? Check. You want romance? Check. You want that romance with a hefty side of well written smexy times? Check. Check. Check. You want fierce and unique characters? Check. You want deep character and world building? Check. You want a dose of humor? Check. You unputdownable, loss of sleep? Check.I found this series a while back but I think I was feeling burnt out on "bully" plot line and hadn't found anyone who did it well so once I saw that was an aspect of this series I passed at the time. Something brought this series back into my lane and I can't say why I started it but I'm forever ruined now. I can't seem to move on. I keep adding other books to my TBR and I keep starting this series over again because I can't let these characters go.If there is any chance that J. Bree reads this review I am going on record asking that you PLEASE consider a follow up series on these characters. Please take us to college or into their early adult life where we can see how they really start to build out "the Wolf's empire". Lips would be an epic, albeit unwilling ruler. While I'm dying to read more about Avery and Atticus (and perhaps Aodhan?) and super intrigued about Lips' brother (Morningstar), I can't let this group go. I've just never read a group that came to life like this before. I need more. I love you so hard for giving me the best read of my life. Thank you.Okay, moving on...book four sees us to the conclusion of all the strife that has been building since the beginning with the Jackal, Senior Beaumont, and the Devil. These showdowns are epic and I'm not sure if you'll understand when I say this but it was really realistic. What I mean by that is that while Lips is a serious bad@$$ she doesn't come out unscathed from these showdowns like some sort of Mary Sue. So much drama and suspense (in a good way). You'll be chewing off finger nails (and shedding some tears) in the last quarter of the book.Book four also brings us deep into the relationship between Lips, Harley, Blaise and Ash and it is HOT. It has every box checked for me in the stuff I like to see with my romance. J. Bree did such a good job of building us to this point slowly and with so much steam and heat that by the time we get here we're beyond ready and she delivers. It's some of the best smexy scenes I have ever read, and I've read lots. :)Like I've said, I'm not able to let these characters go. I can't seem to move on. If you haven't started this series you owe it to yourself to start this same obsession.

So happy to read this but sad for it to finish!
This is the last book in the Hannaford Prep series and it’s one of those where you were waiting so anxiously to find out what happens that you look like you have ants in your pants but when it came out I breathed a sigh of relief and got to reading. Wow!I can’t give any spoilers but suffice to say it is such a satisfying book. There are a few loose ends which is a sign of future books containing these characters so I’m ecstatic! The main plot lines get all tied up (some literal tying up happens too which is karma, all I’m going to say!) If you love the semi-violent state these characters have been in throughout the books then you’ll love this too!There’s steam, gore, love and family all the way through and the wonderful combination thereof is part of what makes these books so great in my opinion. An emotive end to a wonderful series!

Book hangover alert!!
On the verge of having a major book hangover!! But fear not, there are more books from mounts bay with some of my favourite characters and their own stories, HELL YESS!!! 😁🙌🏼This book was so so good!! Full of action, very hot moments 😅 and their family growing bigger by the chapter!! The end of this book gives me ALL the feels, I can't go into detail as to why but my heart is full and so excited to see who gets their own story next!!! I am sad to finish lips story with the guys but I'm sure this won't be the last we hear of them 😉 I'm happy but sad to be finished, I feel like I should probably take the evening to get over this series but I know who's the next book is so I'm off to download that on my kindle 😅 no rest for the wicked 😉

Great read!
So I started on book 1 and worked my way through to book 4 within 2 days. I tend to be on the fence with bully romances, but freaking loved this one... plus it’s only a bully romance for 1 book.Lips is a cool girl. Tough and strong... only issue I found was she literally has no faults which made it harder to try to relate in some way or another. Plus the fact the books start when she’s 15... not sure whether I’m game with that. Loved all the guys, although I feel Blaise wasn’t as detailed as the other 2.Very good reads and couldn’t put any of them down.

Get to reading
This is by far the best series I have read, it’s in a whole different class. I’m not going to write a long review, just know that if you haven’t already read the series, get them all. Devour them, you will not be disappointed and you will never look back. This series will give you the best worst book hangover. Read read read.

Amazing from the first page to the last
I dont even have the words to describe how much I loved this book, the characters are all strong individuals on their own but as a family they are unstoppable. J Bree has done it yet again with this book, she draws you in and you find yourself emersed in the story woth the characters. Eagerly awaiting the next book
