To the Wedding of the Year
About Hard Ever After:
Justice served. Honor restored. Team reunited.
After a long battle to discover the truth, the men and women of Hard Ink have a lot to celebrate, especially the wedding of two of their own—Nick Rixey and Becca Merritt, whose hard-fought love deserves a happy ending.
As Nick and the team shift from crisis mode to building their new security consulting firm, Becca heads back to work at the ER. But amid the everyday chaos of demanding jobs and their upcoming nuptials, an old menace they thought long gone reemerges, threatening the peace they’ve only just found.
Now, for one last time, Nick and Becca must fight for their always and forever, because they know that when true love overcomes all the odds it lasts hard ever after.
My Thoughts:
Okay, I didn't read the blurb for Hard Ever After, I went in knowing it was about Becca and Nick impeding nuptials. Yep, I'm that awesome. Hey, I wanted to see these guys get the happy ending they deserve; I mean it has been a bit rough. However, we can't have everything go according to plan, I mean it's a wedding and there is bound to blimps. Too bad they can't have normal wedding blimps like the caterer canceling or the location unavailable, nope they had to have drama from the past to stir.
Okay, I didn't expect to get all emotional with Hard Ever After. I mean the proposal was to die for, and Nick made it the best proposal ever. Plus, everyone is moving on with there life. Just tore me up at times, because they went through hell to get to this point in life. Yes, there are a couple surprises at the end, but it makes the happy ending oh so richer. Of course, it wouldn't be a Hard Ink book without a little trouble that might make wedding not happen, but these guys are professionals. Overall, it was great to see closer and at the same time a little sad. I can't wait to see the spinoff with Ravens. That's exciting. So, if you have been with these guys till the end, you might as well see there a happy Hard Ever After.

Excerpt:
Sitting at the dinner table surrounded by their friends, Nick squeezed Becca’s thigh. She turned to him wearing a huge smile, a champagne glass in her hand. “Are you feeling frisky, Mr. Rixey?” she asked.
Sitting at the dinner table surrounded by their friends, Nick squeezed Becca’s thigh. She turned to him wearing a huge smile, a champagne glass in her hand. “Are you feeling frisky, Mr. Rixey?” she asked.
Nick leaned in close. “No, I’m fucking
horny. I want to mess up your lipstick and tear off your panties and make my
fingers and cock smell like you.” He leaned back again, his face carefully
neutral.
Her eyes were wide—and full of heat.
“Holy shit. How am I supposed to be apart from you the rest of the night after
that?”
“Welcome to my world, Sunshine.” He threw
back a gulp of whiskey.
“Come here. I want to taste that off your
tongue,” she said.
“Jesus,” he gritted out, but it wasn’t
like he was turning down a kiss. She leaned in, giving him a great view of her
cleavage down the front of her sequined strapless dress, and grasped his face
in her hand. Her lips were warm, soft, and tasted like champagne and the
chocolate mousse cake they’d shared for dessert. Fucking delicious. Her tongue
slipped around his, and she pressed herself closer.
“Someone pull those two apart,” one of
the guys yelled.
Nick grinned even as they continued to
kiss. He wasn’t voluntarily giving up Becca’s mouth, that was for goddamned sure.
“All right,” Kat said from the other side
of Nick. “We better get the rest of the night underway before we lose the bride
and groom.” Laughter all around as everyone got up from the table.
“Do you think they’d notice if we snuck
away?” Becca asked, her face absolutely glowing.
Beckett grabbed Nick by the shoulders.
“Get up, Rix. The tables are waiting for us.”
“Apparently,” Nick said. “You go have a
good time, Sunshine. But you be ready for me later.” He arched a brow.
“Oh, I will,” Becca said, her tongue
licking at her bottom lip.
Shit, he had it bad for her. And he
fucking loved it. This woman was going to be his wife. How fantastically
lucky was he? A man who just months ago would’ve said he didn’t believe in
luck, unless it was of the bad kind.
Outside, they found two massive stretch
Hummer limousines waiting for them. Beckett had arranged their transportation
for the evening through one of the companies he had experience working with—the
cars were bulletproof and the drivers were prior military and armed. Nick
appreciated the hell out of the gesture.
As the men headed for one vehicle and the
women for the other, Nick pulled Becca into his arms. “Have fun, Sunshine. I
love you.”
“Love you, too, Nick.” This kiss was
softer, sweeter. Which was good, since all their friends started giving them
shit.
“Yeah, yeah,” Nick said, flipping the
guys the finger.
“Before you go, I have something for
you,” he murmured, then slipped a little wrapped box into Becca’s hand. “Wear
this and think of me.”
“What is it?” she asked.
“I’m not telling,” he said.
