But when devastating news reminds Foster how tragically he failed to take care of someone he loved in the past, he wonders what right he has to be with a woman as beautiful and vibrant as Cela. She’ll leave eventually anyway—everyone always does.

4.5 stars. I really really loved this mini-series and I dont know why I'm so surprised since I absolutely love this author and her 'Loving on the edge' series.
This story is all about Cela (Andre's younger sister) and Foster/Ian. Cela has spent years studying to become a Vet with the expectation of working at her Father's practice, something she isnt exactly looking forward to now that she has finished and grown older. Foster, some years older than Cela (about 8 or 9 years older) owns his own business and has reached the stage were he is tired of the one-night-stands and living the bachelor life with his best friend (and occasional third) Pike. Oh, and he's a member of The Ranch!
On her graduation night, Cela bumps into Foster and Pike (her neighbours) and they eventually convince her to go out with them and celebrate years of hard work. Of course, one thing leads to another and they end up (all three of them) spending the night in a hotel. Pike (I want his story!) sees that there is something between the two and does give them some alone time. However, things arent so easy between them.
Foster is aware of her age and the fact that she has experienced so little with her 'All work and no play' life so far and add to that the fact he wants something more serious (and the D/s dynamic), he is understandably hesitant to pursue anything with her. Cela really does feel something for Foster after their first night together and wants more, but isnt sure exactly what. She's confused about the way she responded to him and the whole D/s thing, which comes from a lack of understanding about the lifestyle itself. So cue lots of misunderstandings, arguements and clashing of personalities of the next few weeks and months.
When they finally do communicate and begin to explore a relationship, things are still difficult. Foster is convinced she will leave him, something which stems from a failed relationship in the past. Cela still has her doubts but is willing to give this a go even if it means not working for her Father. When Cela expresses these doubts to him, Foster reacts badly, behaving like a prick, forcing them to have some time apart. Grrrrhhhh!
But i fogave him, especially when it's made clear why he's like that and his troubled past with his own baby sister. So sad. Cela helps him through this and eventually the two work things out and get their HEA.
A thoroughly enjoyable, sexy read! Loved it!!

I'm posting my entire review of the serial here, because otherwise the reviews on the previous installments would have been -- I NEED THE REST!! ARGH!!
This serial is yet another testament to Roni Loren's ability to write characters and plot that grip you and won't let go. In fact, there's no doubt her books are getting better the more she writes.
I started the first installment of the NOT UNTIL YOU... serial last night, immediately bought the next two, read those, then had to go to bed because it's back-to-school and I now have to get up early in the morning. But as soon as the kids were dropped off, I was on Amazon buying the rest of the installments. And then finished them by dinnertime. The end of each installment provided a fantastic hook, driving me to immediately open the next book.
Cela and Foster were great characters, driven by complex and powerful back-stories. There were several laugh-out-loud moments in the story, which was a lovely balance with some of the more heart-wrenching aspects.
What I liked most about this book is that there wasn't as much of an external, someone's-trying-to-kill/kidnap-the-heroine conflict. The conflicts these two faced were more common, and therefore more resonant. Cela comes from a strict, overbearing family, where the eldest sister was cast out for getting pregnant as a teen. It's no wonder Cela's inexperienced. Foster is a man haunted by a tragedy from his youth, a rejection from a previous lover, as well as having some rougher proclivities, so he's naturally hesitant when it comes to initiating a relationship with an inexperienced woman.
The writing. Oh, the writing. I love Loren's style, and if I can stop reading for pleasure long enough, I'll be using her books as research for how to write a love scene with lots of emotion. She describes common feelings and behaviors in lyrical ways. I am in awe of her way with words.
All in all, I highly recommend this (and any of Loren's books) to anyone interested in BDSM erotic romance.

Cela and Foster have been through a lot in a short amount of time. Cela went from vanilla virgin to kinky seductress. Foster went from emotionally guarded Dom to a man willing to beg for his woman. It definitely hasn't been easy, but what is if it’s truly worth it? This is the installment we’ve all been waiting for—and it didn’t disappoint at all!
In Not Until You Love, Cela and Foster’s reunion is interrupted by a phone call. One that foster has been waiting for - and dreading - for most of his life. Things for these two are about to get a whole lot more complicated. And depressing. But now Cela is sure what she wants. Who she wants. And right now, Foster needs her more than ever. She's going to have to show him just what he means to her. Heal his hurts with love.
For this installment, one word comes to mind: emotional. Not Until You Love is filled with so much love and so much sadness. There is a darkness that hangs over this installment but there is light too. I am so happy with how things turned out. Things between Cela and her dad, between her and Foster... Cela grew a spine and found her voice and she’s not afraid to use either one. And, when Foster was at his lowest, he learned to trust and let love in. Realized Cela wasn't going to run away. Not Until You Love is a satisfying and meaningful conclusion to this serial.

This series is just fantastic. I've held off doing a review because I wanted to read the whole story first. I've NEVER taken this long to read a Roni Loren novel but I'm so glad this was a serial. It's been nice to return week after week and take another juicy bite of this shiny red apple of a story. Cela is such a great, down to earth heroine-- a character I can identify with and sink my teeth into.
And while I do love adorable, rock dude Pike, I ADORE Foster. He's so... Mr. Darcy. Brusque, serious but with a gentle side. He does things you don't expect him to do because he cares about others, but does it so quietly. I love the arc in his character, from "My Way or No Way" to someone that incorporates who the other person IS into how he loves her.
I was most surprised by not only Cela's father, but Foster's parents. Just goes to show you how people can be different once you stop expecting them to be a certain way.
A great series and likely a great standalone release as well.
I am already gearing up for Roni's next book!

Loved this journey with Foster and Cela. We get to see both of them grow on this journey.
Roni Loren outdid herself with this one with all the emotional, gut wrenching, heartbreak and mending of old wounds.
Cela has come a long way with her relationship with Foster. They've learned together along the way to open up to each other and trust each other.
Love we got to see Pike again. I'm hoping he gets his own story. Loved that Jace and Andre were in this one also.
This was beautifully wrapped up. Shows the complete trust of a person to another. And how love adds to it all.
If you love erotica romance, you should definitely give this e-series a shot. You won't be disappointed. I've read all of Roni Loren's books since the beginning and have loved them. I always want more and don't want them to end because they are so great. Highly recommend this series.

An excellent conclusion to the story of Cela and Foster! I LOVED this serial and I cannot wait to reread the whole thing together in one (or two) sittings. Because I totally will be rereading in book-style. And I am so, so glad that they touched on Andre again in this finale and his story.
I'm still not sold on the serial format. I definitely prefer reading all in one go, and having the whole story in my hands to power through at my own pace. BUT. I was never disappointed by any installments in this serial, so my preferences are absolutely NO reflection on Roni Loren's skill as a writer and storyteller; she is FABULOUS.

Always save the best for last, at least that's what they say... It's differently true in this case! Roni Loren does it again with a great story of Ian Foster and Cela Madina (Andre's Little Sister). I was a little upset that I had to wait a week or so to continue the book with only a few chapters in each installment, but never the less, still worth the wait!!
"Never have I ever ... been this happy"
I am anxiously awaiting the release of "Caught up in You" Wyatt Austin and Kelsey LeBreck’s story due to release August 6th, 2013.

In this concluding serving, Loren does a lot of tying up loose ends and mending old wounds. Cela has come a long way from the virgin post- graduate student. She has bloomed into a woman who has her own mind and her own desires. Foster has fallen deeply in love with her and though it takes him awhile to accept it, he knows that nothing will stop him from having her now.

Title: Not Until You
Author: Roni Loren
Publisher/Year: Penguin Group 6/13 - 8/13
Length: 60 pages(ish) each
Series: Loving on the Edge #3.51 - 3.58
Overview(s)
Not Until You Dare:
On the night of her graduation, innocent veterinary student Cela decides to play a game of Never Have I Ever with the two hot neighbors she’s been quietly crushing on for the last year. Always the prim and proper student, Cela thinks she’s earned a wild night before she has to move back home under the watchful gaze of her family. But what starts out as a simple game is about to take a very sensual turn...
Ian Foster is tired of playing games. With his membership to The Ranch, an exclusive BDSM resort, and a musician roommate named Pike who brings home groupies with a taste for ménage, Foster has a life most guys would kill for. But lately, his need for dominance is no longer satisfied via one-night stands. He craves the full surrender of one woman—a submissive of his own.
But when his quiet, sweet-as-sugar neighbor shows up at their door with a bottle of tequila and an invitation, Foster decides he and Pike may have time for one more fling…
Not Until You Risk
Cela’s sexy game of Never Have I Ever with her neighbors has turned into a night of Truth or Dare, with her revealing her deepest desires and letting go like she’s never done before. After some seductive dancing, the trio decides to move to a more private location: a swanky hotel where Foster is determined to explore Cela’s wildest fantasies.
As the heat between the three begins to sizzle, Cela finds herself drawn to Foster, whose dominance over her is almost too much to handle. But Cela’s got a secret she hasn’t yet shared, something that could bring their passionate encounter to a screeching halt…
Not Until You Crave
As the threesome returns home from their wild night, Foster is still reeling from the truth about Cela and angry at himself for feeling more than he should for a one night stand. So when he’s confronted by Cela’s angry and protective older brother, he agrees to stay away from his alluring neighbor. He knows he’s got no business messing with a vanilla girl—especially one who tests his self-control at every turn.
Cela’s still not ready to give up on Foster or the intense connection they shared. So when a harmless midnight texting session turns into an irresistible invitation, she can’t say no. But later when she runs into Foster dressed in leather pants and heading out for a late night at The Ranch, she begins to grasp that there’s a whole other side to him she never imagined—a darkness that both intrigues and terrifies her...
Not Until You Trust
Despite desperately wanting to satisfy her curiosity, Foster is not about to introduce Cela to his true dominant side. For one thing, she’s far too innocent to participate in that kind of lifestyle; for another, he doesn’t want to get attached when she’ll be leaving town so soon. But when he comes home after a frustrating day and finds Cela hanging out with Pike, all of Foster’s possessive urges rise to the surface.
Cela is left breathless and shaken after getting a glimpse of Foster’s dominance unleashed. Maybe he was right, and she isn’t ready for something so intense. But when she can’t get her mind off their nights together, she comes up with a daring plan to see just how much they’re both willing to risk…
Not Until You Beg
Foster has been pushed past the point of temptation. So even though he fears Cela’s interest in his world is a passing whim, he agrees to teach her the art of submission. But he’s not going to hold anything back—if she wants to see this side of him, he’s going to show her how deep his dominance runs.
Cela’s initial intrigue begins to give way to doubt as she struggles with the submissive role and the desires it stirs within her. Having spent her whole life being controlled by her domineering father, she’s unsure if she’s ready to put herself under the command of another man. But when she breaks Foster’s most important rule, she puts herself in a situation more intense than she bargained for…
Not Until You Surrender
Cela willingly accepts Foster’s difficult penalty for what she’s done and finds herself more vulnerable and more attracted to him than ever. Unfortunately, she’s also more confused. She’s drawn to Foster’s dark desires but scared by the intensity of her surrender and her growing need for him. So as outside pressures mount, how is she supposed to make the hardest decision of her life?
Foster is falling further and further for Cela, but right as he’s tempted to tell her how he feels, she approaches him with a heartbreaking proposition. There isn’t much Foster wouldn’t sacrifice for Cela’s happiness, but this time that may mean watching the girl he could truly love walk away..
Not Until You Believe
Having flirted with forbidden desires, Cela leaves Foster and returns home to her small Texas town to work in her father’s veterinary practice and embrace a “normal” life. Everything is exactly how she left it—everything except her. But Foster made his feelings clear about their relationship, and she’s determined to find a way forward without him...even if her heart refuses to let go.
Foster knows that he made a mistake in letting Cela go before he told her his true feelings. Intending to set things right, he goes to her hometown to lay himself bare. But when he gets there, he sees Cela in a compromising situation that makes him doubt that they had anything special at all...
Not Until You Love
When Cela walked into his life, scared, innocent, and seeking thrills beyond her wildest dreams, Foster never expected she could become the submissive he’s always desired. Cela has changed, has blossomed into something he can’t resist, and she’s ready and willing to surrender to Foster fully.
But when devastating news reminds Foster how tragically he failed to take care of someone he loved in the past, he wonders what right he has to be with a woman as beautiful and vibrant as Cela. She’ll leave eventually anyway—everyone always does.
But Cela isn’t about to let Foster chase her away. Can she convince this dominant playboy that her love for him is here to stay?
My Thoughts
I really enjoyed this story. i think that it was a reprieve from what i felt yesterday after reading Fall Into You. Anyhow, we are introduced right off the bat to Cela (Marcela) who just happens to be Andre's little sister. That's foreboding if I ever heard it myself. We meet her on the night of her graduation from Vet school when we see her coming home after the ceremony alone w/ a bottle of Tequila. She runs into her two sexy neighbors so you know where this has to go. Alcohol and sexy neighbor boys - and an innocent girl. Yup, my mind goes there.
What we get through this series of stories is what i thought was truly going to be another menage situation with interesting dynamic and power struggles across the board, but we don't get that at all. There are certainly power struggles between Cela and Foster, but Pike turns out to be an all around good guy that's really just a side character.
The nice thing about this installment of the bigger series is that we get the great D/s dynamic, but it's similar to what i got from Cerise Sinclair's Master of the Shadowlands series where the sub isn't really 100% decided that she wants to be part of the scene or even knows what she's getting into. Cela gives Foster a bit of a struggle at EVERY turn and that makes for some very steamy scenes when she does submit. We learn a lot about the level of Pain that Foster likes and how much Cela is willing to put out there without compromising her job, freedom, family and everything else.
What's really nice too is that we get to see Andre interspersed here as well - so you never know what's going to happen. We know that he's hiding his relationship situation from his sister and their family so that's something that I know i kept wondering if i'd see get played out here.
The other great thing about this series of chapters is that Foster has on the surface a charmed life, but it's not ever that easy - and that's kind of what makes him the way that he is - controlling, dominating and into pain. He has this haunted past that really makes us wish for the best outcome, but that would be too nice and tidy if that were the case.
In any event i feel much better about this whole 'Loving on the Edge' series now and thankfully Caught Up In You comes out very soon so we get the next installment even before i've had a chance to cool off from this one. Very steamy, very naughty, and very dynamic.

There are certainly power struggles between Cela and Foster, but Pike turns out to be an all around good guy that's really just a side character.
The nice thing about this installment of the bigger series is that we get the great D/s dynamic, but it's similar to what i got from Cerise Sinclair's Master of the Shadowlands series where the sub isn't really 100% decided that she wants to be part of the scene or even knows what she's getting into. Cela gives Foster a bit of a struggle at EVERY turn and that makes for some very steamy scenes when she does submit. We learn a lot about the level of Pain that Foster likes and how much Cela is willing to put out there without compromising her job, freedom, family and everything else.
What's really nice too is that we get to see Andre interspersed here as well - so you never know what's going to happen. We know that he's hiding his relationship situation from his sister and their family so that's something that I know i kept wondering if i'd see get played out here.
The other great thing about this series of chapters is that Foster has on the surface a charmed life, but it's not ever that easy - and that's kind of what makes him the way that he is - controlling, dominating and into pain. He has this haunted past that really makes us wish for the best outcome, but that would be too nice and tidy if that were the case.
In any event i feel much better about this whole 'Loving on the Edge' series now and thankfully Caught Up In You comes out very soon so we get the next installment even before i've had a chance to cool off from this one. Very steamy, very naughty, and very dynamic.

Well after a very bumpy start inasmuch as us poor Brits got the first two parts in June and then had to wait until the middle of September for the rest, I was worried that maybe the anticipation of finally getting this series would be greater than my enjoyment of the story. Boy was I wrong!
I had deliberately stayed away from all of the reviews and chats about the series because I didn't want to find out what was going to happen next and I am really glad I did.
Split over 8 parts (released weekly in the States but daily in the UK) the story centres around Cela, the younger sister of Andre (Oh how I love Andre!). Her whole life she has been dominated by her father, a man so strict that when Cela's sister got pregnant at a very young age and decided on a termination he threw her out and forbade anyone in the family to have anything else to do with her. He has mapped out Cela's life for her - go to Vet School, qualify and then come home and join him at his Vet practice until he is ready to retire and she takes it over. Whilst at school she is under the watchful eye of her older brother, Andre, who is a cop (as well as a Dom/Switch who featured in the second book and pops up in several of the others).
Graduation day over she returns to her apartment, laden down with a Chinese takeaway meal and a large bottle of Tequila, only to bump into the 2 hunks that live next door to her, Pike and Foster, that she has secretly been crushing on. After a brief conversation, and having managed to drop her food all over the floor, she goes to her apartment, alone, a situation that doesn't last long. Tequila in hand she goes next door and knocks.
What follows is a drunken game of "Never Have I" in which the men discover that Cela is not only seemingly innocent but is, in fact, still a virgin. A virgin with a very vivid imagination and a willingness to experience life before returning back to her family and living the life her father has decreed.
After spending that first night with both men in a hotel room, Cela discovers that she is developing feelings for Foster but is also very wary of him because he is a self-admitted Dom who is not looking for a long term relationship. Pike, on the other hand, is very laid back and the two of them develop a friendship.
Over the course of the next few instalments, as their feelings for each other grow, and trust and mistrust ebb and flow like the tide, Cela discovers more and more about herself, about Foster and what makes him as he is and about Andre and his relationship with Jace and Evan.
Finally bowing to her father's demands that she returns home and takes up the role he has set for her, Cela gives up on her dream of a relationship with Foster, until he comes looking for her. Even then the path of love does not run smooth and Foster finds himself staring down the barrel of Cela's father's gun!
Want to know more? Download the series and read them - you won't be disappointed! Although, having said that, I would really recommend reading Roni's other books in the series, in chronological order, so that the characters fall into place.
Roni - just as an aside. Thank you so much for keeping us poor Brits updated on the progress of publishing rights issues for this series in the UK. Knowing that you were there with us during that frustrating time made the world of difference!

4.5 Stars!

The books are part of an 8 volume serial. Basically one book split up into 8 parts. Normally I avoid serials entirely, but part 1 was free and I've heard some great things about Roni Loren's books. Wow, was I glad I picked up part 1! Not Until You will forever be one of my all-time favorite books and Roni Loren has landed on my top 5 list of one-click authors!
Cela Medina is as straight-arrow as they come. The straight-A student, perfectionist that always chose school and studying over friends and parties. But now she's graduated from college and is about to move back home and start her life under the watchful eye of her family. So when she sees her super hot neighbors, Foster and Pike on the night of her graduation she thinks why the hell not. Judging by the noises she's heard through the thin walls of her apartment and the women the two men share, it should be the kind of wild night she deserves.
But she soon learns that Foster is a member of the exclusive BDSM resort, The Ranch, and he's not looking for a fling or a one-night stand. He wants a woman that will stick around and surrender to him. To be his submissive.
Now here's why I loved Roni Loren's writing. Her style was so superbly written, that for someone like me who will never understand the lifestyle could get sucked into the story and feel as if I did. Roni pulled me in so deep that I was experiencing Cela's desire to be with Foster and his dark yet exciting ways. Now, this isn't the first time an author has done this for me. But we're talking about subjects that are way beyond my comprehension. What really made Roni's writing stand out was the way the characters expressed their feelings and actions. Every word and scene was in there for a reason, not like so many books I've read that made me wonder… why do I need to know this? Or worse, why is the author repeating it yet again? The writing was organic and flowed nicely.
And I especially loved how each character overcame something in the story. In my opinion, this is a must for a good book. They should learn something or get passed something from their past that will make them a better person. The kind of person the love of their life deserves. It just makes me as a reader feel like now, finally, they can have their happily ever after.
Cela's moment had me tearing up. But Foster's! Oh, my God, I cried like a baby. Interested? Read the books!
Ménage… BDSM… not my thing. But Roni Loren can write about anything and I'll read it!
So why not 5 out of 5? There were some minor editorial issues. Each of the volumes had something in it. Switching from first person to third within a sentence. (Celea's POV was written in first and Foster's was in third.) And some missing words here and there.

Review for all 8 novellas and small rant...
4-4.5 stars! I liked this a lot! The story and writing were good and I liked the characters (even though the heroine was a virgin *gag*). This is a story about two neighbors who have been crushing on each other, getting together for what starts out as a one night of fun turning into more. Foster, the H is heavily into the BDSM scene and sexy is as hell, and Cela, leads a sheltered life of school and family. There are some pretty hot scenes as you go on the ups and downs of the possible relationship between the two. The secondary characters also leave you wanting to know more about them. Definitely a good read, despite reading this type of storyline before.
Now I must say, I am not an author, so how should I judge what anyone charges for their work? But seriously...COME ON! This is a book that has been broken down into novellas. They are very short at aprx 4 chapters each. Each 'book' is priced at 1.99! Really?!?! That's like $16! No offense, but there is no way this was worth that. The only reason it came across my radar, was because it was available at my library, so I didn't have to pay anything for it. Otherwise I would never have gave it a second glance. This is a shame, as I think a lot of people are doing the same thing, and bypassing this. I also think a lot of authors should consider this, it may get more of their work out there. We already pay enough for trilogies and series, now to buy 8 separate books just to get the whole story. Not cool. I would read more from the author, if her books were reasonably priced.

3.5 stars
In my review for the last installment, Not Until You Believe, I said that Cela would have to make a HUGE gesture in order for me to believe that she truly wants to be with Foster and commit to the lifestyle. I had no hopes of her doing this even though this is a romance story at heart so there has to be a HEA. Well, Cela makes the huge gesture and then some.
Cela has matured into the woman we, the reader, wanted her to be. She finally stands up to her dad even though it wasn’t the kind of showdown I thought it would be. It was sweet and sad. You see Cela’s dad as a man who only wanted the best for his children and when they didn’t meet his expectations, he turned that disappointment into anger and alienation. Foster finally has some closure regarding his sister. He goes through it emotinally in this installment and for once, it’s not all about Cela. And for once Cela really steps up to the plate and is there for Foster. Both characters mature and grow and make sacrifices for the other. Foster and Cela’s relationship is finally a mature one!
Overall, Not Until You Love is a satisfactory conclusion to the serial. I’m just happy that Cela finally “womaned” up.
Now that I’m done with the series, I need Pike’s story. Will we get it? I have no idea. I don’t think he’s into BDSM but I don’t care. I need to know what’s his deal.

A copy of this book was provided by the publisher for an honest review at SeductiveMusings.blogspot.com.
After all the misunderstandings and back and forth drama throughout this story, this is where it all comes to its final fruition. Foster has declared his love for Cela and she is almost ready to do the same... when the bottom drops out of Foster’s world. The goal he’s worked toward his whole life - finding out what happened to his kidnapped sister - is suddenly achieved, and that knowledge devastates him completely. When he retreats from everyone and everything, it takes Cela’s complete submission and unconditional love to pull him back from the edge of utter despair.
This was the payoff I was hoping for at the end of this story, where both Cela and Foster finally truly learn from the mistakes they've made along the way and grow into the full loving relationship that they both realize they can only find with each other. It’s a beautifully written and heartfelt conclusion with all the emotion and passion that comes from a love so hard won and richly deserved. Roni Loren has outdone herself with “Not Until You” and the included excerpts from “Caught Up In You”, promise an equally great time to come in our next visit to the world of The Ranch.
Ratings for Part 8:
Overall: 5
Sensuality level: 4 (more intense BDSM including bondage, flogging and anal sex)

Not Until You is a hot new read from one of my favorite authors. This one started out super strong, had a bit of a lag towards the mid-to end, yet finished just as strong as the beginning. Another must read from one of the rockstars of romance.
I love the characters Roni Loren chose to share with readers - she always has such diverse characters with a great story to tell. I loved seeing Jace and Andre pop up from time to time throughout Not Until You, particularly since Jace is my favorite character Roni Loren has written yet :)
For me, parts 6 and 7 just were not as awesome as the rest, but don't let that deter you since part 8 is simply magical and brings back everything I had loved about Cela and Foster's story.
I would love to hear more from Pike in the future - what a fun dude!
I already cannot wait for more from Roni Loren, and I'm happy I don't have long to wait since her next one comes out next week already! I will read anything that lady writes, since she is just fantastic.

I picked up the first 2 novellas in this series as a freebie on Amazon, well I am an Amazon Kindle Freebie Whore. As soon as I started reading the first one I was absolutely hooked and immediately bought the remainder of the series. Because I read all 8 consecutively my review is for all 8.
OMG this series is amazing. It is absolute perfection. It is hot, hot, hot. The characters and their dynamics are so well developed. Everything about this book is beautifully interwoven. The story grabs you from the very first page and you don't want to put it down. I don't have the words to describe how awesome this series is, and am just in awe at this author.
I would recommend reading this series how I did, because you're going to be left with cliffhangers otherwise.
I wish I had realised this was 3.5 in the Loving on the Edge series when I started, but that's my own fault.

Okay - so I loved the story, but I am SOOOOOO glad I waited to purchase all of the books at one time! It was just a little bit frustrating to have to stop to move to the next book (yes, even on my nook - to get through title pages, and copyright stuff to get back to the story).
As a huge Roni Loren fan, I can only hope that this isn't something she plans to do in the future. Great marketing ploy for her work (segments for all are included in each book), but considering I have purchased and read them all prior to this - I'll say again FRUSTRATING!
Whew....rant, rant, rant. Great story - I hope we get a Pike story in the near future - and I really would have like to have known how things went at the Medina family Christmas after Dre dropped his bomb.

What a great conclusion to a great story. I really enjoyed this one even though it broke my heart at times to read it. I love that Foster was finally able to turn around and realize all the good he's done and not just wallow in the past. I love that he's ready to start his future with Cela.
Finishing this just made me want to read more from Roni Loren. Love her books and can't wait to see what next.

July 31, 2013I loved the happy ending. Cela living with her man Foster. She moved to be with him and he found out finally what happened to his sister. I would have liked a proposal but I guess in some regards that is what Foster asked Cela and that is what she agreed too! Going to meet her family is a big step and her brother Dre coming out to the family is also a big deal. So the story was one I liked and the sex scenes were steamy. Loved it.

Cela is neighbors with foster and pike and have been for 2 years now that cels has graduated she feels like she's been missing out but with a bottle of tequila in hand she decides to take a chance on these men but foster is the guy she's had her eyes on will it be one night or can a relationship progress? read this book in one sitting and loved it!!! All books are connected and so far hot and steamy without overdoing it!!
July 31, 2013
Expected more at the end. Finding out about his sister was so sad. I liked that Cela pushed to help him realize he should keep up his work. I just didn't feel the story all at the end. I think it's because each piece read separately takes away from the whole story. I feel a little ripped off. I will avoid these books in pieces in the future.

Excellent conclusion to an awesome 'mini-series' by Ms. Loren. Wish this would come out in one solid book some day so I can have all her books nicely lined up in my kindle. Sigh.

I was so disappointed in the outcome of Fosters sister that I felt it overshadowed the rest of the story.

4 star rating applies to series as a whole since I read it together rather then separately.

Every part of this serial was worth reading. Like the rest of the series, it has been sexy and entertaining.
