Alannah -- LA Casey

Alannah Ryan is plagued by an old face haunting her dreams, turning her waking hours into a mess of worry. Talking it out with the person she loves the most isn’t a possibility, not when the same face haunts him, too.

To protect the love of her life from another burden, she keeps her fear to herself, even as that fear begins to consume her.

Damien Slater has the life he always wanted with the woman he adores by his side, but there’s a problem. His woman is keeping a secret, and they swore they would never let another secret come between them again.

Breaking Alannah’s guard will be Damien’s greatest challenge yet as he proves once and for all that he is in it for the long haul.

Alannah admires Damien, and what Alannah admires, Alannah watches over.

Receiving this book was heartbreaking simply because it was the end. We have now reached every

Slater brother and their loves. Though at the end we do get a glimpse at Brothers, the book that will

update all of us on what the future holds for them all.

Alannah and Damien their love has been on hold since book one. It was like constant heartache

every time that either of their names were brought up in the series. Now, the past is behind them.

What I loved most about this entire book was Alannah’s and Alec’s constant bickering and threats.

Every since the “accident”, that shall not be named, their playful antics have been nothing short of

hilarious but Alec has always been dramatic. There is also a whole lot of love, alpha Salter Brothers

and more babies!

If you have loved the rest of the Slater series, this book will be no different besides a little sobering

with it being the last but we still have brothers to go and then the Collins brothers series. You will

laugh, you will cry, and you will want your very own Alec by the end.

-- BLOG REVIEW --

Blake is the definition of what most would consider a “man-hoe”. He doesn’t do relationships or
commitments but there is just something about Hadley. His sister’s college best friend has been on
his mind since that one night, one night that changes both of their lives forever.

Honestly, I love anything this lady writes and Gold Digger once again fits in line with that. Blake
intrigued me from Zane and Cat’s book in Utterly Forgettable. It was one of those characters you
knew that when they fell, it was going to hard. Hadley has been admiring Blake since she first met
him. He is her best friends brother and she knows his reputation well. Reputation or not, that does
steer her away. Hadley was a brave heroine but also has her “annoying” quality with jumping to
conclusions. (Side note, her sister and mother drove me batty! How inconsiderate can you be?)

The relationship between Blake and Hadley is definitely a roller coaster ride that will make you wonder
just how their story will play out. I love the fact that you really can’t pinpoint how everything will play
out and it keeps you guessing on how Blake will go forth with Hadley. I was quickly turning pages to
see what happened next. Their story is fast paced and will leave you wanting more when you realize
you have turned the last page.

Outside their story is Hunter, a little bit of his story started to play out in this book. I can’t wait to see
what the future holds for him. It already seems like the drama has taken hold.

This can be read as a standalone but you will find Zane and Cat’s story in Utterly Forgettable.

The minute I stepped into the bar, I spotted them. Hadley’s back was to me and, from where I was standing, it looked as if Belinda and Patrice were blocking her exit. Fucking hell. Since when were Belinda and Patrice friends? And where was Wayne? I started toward them. Bits and pieces of their conversation filtered in as I got closer.
“I’m sorry I took your friend’s job. I wasn’t aware the position had been offered to her,” Hadley told Belinda. “And I’m sorry that my piano playing skills were subpar, however, being that I’m a chef, this shouldn’t surprise you,” she directed at Patrice.
“I know why you’re here. I overheard Zane talking to Cathryn about it. You might be carrying Blake’s brat in your belly but take it from me when I say he isn’t going to take well to being trapped,” Patrice declared, right as I stepped up behind Hadley. Both Patrice and Belinda’s eyes jerked to me and bulged in surprise, but being that Hadley’s back was to me, she wasn’t aware of my presence.
“You’ve got me!” Hadley said, her tone laced with contempt and sarcasm. “Wow, you two are a regular Cagney and Lacey. Tell me, how did you figure it out? Because, really, I planned it so carefully.” Neither woman said a word. They just stood there staring at me. I, however, was highly entertained. Folding my arms over my chest, I waited to see what Hadley would say next. She didn’t disappoint.
“You know what this is about don’t you?” she whispered in a conspiratorial tone. “Blake thinks it’s about the baby, but it’s really about the money. I hear he’s loaded.” I silently chuckled when she expelled a wistful sounding sigh and followed it with, “I’ve always dreamed of being rich.” Both women jumped when she threw up her hands, and shouted, “Yep! Just call me gold digger!” On that note, she then turned to leave. A strangled shriek escaped when she smacked right into me. As she pressed her hands to my chest in order to keep from toppling over, the warmth of her touch seared through me.
“Blake!” she gasped, clearly shocked to find me standing there.
Before Hadley did something else, such as call Patrice Patsy again or refer to Belinda as Boobzilla—something I’d heard both she and Wayne do on more than one occasion—I reached for her hand. Ignoring Patrice and Belinda, who were still busy gawking at us, I said, “Come on, Gold Digger, we’re going to be late for our appointment,” and pulled her in the direction of the door. Right as we breached the threshold, I glanced back over my shoulder and gave the two vipers a look of warning, letting them know that we would be discussing this incident later.
“I didn’t see you standing there,” Hadley muttered, as we made our way toward the front of the hotel.
“Clearly,” I mused, while trying not to laugh at the scene I’d just witnessed. When she let out a disgusted sounding huff, I lost the battle and let the laughter roll. She responded with another huff and a face scrunch, and I thought, this woman is something else.
