She's his greatest temptation. He's her biggest hesitation. Will they end up being each other's salvation? At the beginning of The Texas Kings series I was a newbie. Had heard of Soraya Lane but was not familiar with her work. Now having reached the final book in the series, I am so glad that I took the chance on this amazing author. Ryder, Chase and Nate are just the right amount naughty to make them fantasy material. Chloe, Hope and Faith delivered enough spice to bring these rough riders to their knees.

I received an ARC of I Knew You Were Trouble via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Have loved every book in the series but this is my favorite. Maybe it's because this couple had a history. For me that made the connection stronger between these two. Regardless of the turmoil within Faith's life and the strains to the bond of friendships, these two heated up the pages and pulled at the heart strings. Getting to see Nate's protective side and learn more of the history behind it had my heart doing flip flops. Fiesty Faith was somewhat of a surprise because she had a side of vulnerability that could break the heart of even the strongest person. Apart each was coasting through life searching for what was missing, together they finally found home. I am sorry to see this series end. ( )

Quick read that was somewhat predictable and at times over the top.

Faith shows up on Nate’s doorstep needing a safe haven after breaking up with her boyfriend. Nate is a bit leery as Faith is his best friend Sam’s little sister and has always been considered off-limits. With her living in his home, Sam wanting Faith and Nate to keep their distance, Nate’s grandfather in end-stage cancer and work to be done there is still time for them to explore friendship and perhaps more. The plot is predictable. The hero is wealthy. The King brothers and their wives make an appearance with their children. There is a wedding and a funeral and other scenes to fill the pages.

For some reason Nate and Faith did not draw me in and neither did their romance. I never really warmed up to them and I am not sure why. I did not read book one of this series but genuinely liked the second book so was hoping for more in this the final book.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

2.5 to 3 Stars ( )

A contemporary romance set in Texas on a large family ranch. I've read the previous book in this series, so I was excited to get to continue with the King brothers. I suggest reading all 3 books in order; however, each one can be read as a stand-alone novel. All the lovable King family and friends are back in the last installment and we finally get to see Nate as the MC. It's a steamy, from-opposite-sides-of-the-track romance where the man gets his heart broken; but will it be permanently, or just a set-back? The book is a quick and easy read and perfect for a relaxing weekend. For contemporary romance fans.
