Kaitlin Crosse wields an extraordinary power over me. She pushes, dares, and drives me to the brink of madness. Ever since our paths intertwined, my obsession with her has been absolute and unyielding. Every aspect of her calls out to me, yet the very thing I yearn for the most might be forever beyond my grasp. She resists my attempts to possess and protect her. She refuses my claims, asserting her fiercely independent nature. That same, unwavering self-reliance only intensifies my attraction to her, and ignites a fierce desire to eradicate the pain in her eyes. Pain we inflicted upon her. Pain her father has inflicted. Pain that the world relentlessly imposes upon her. I don’t want to share her with anyone. Not my brothers. Not her friends. Not the world. But that’s not what Ace needs… And I need her. So I have to become what she needs, and that means working with my brothers, her closest friends, and her family. It means fighting to keep her safe when the whole world seems to want to tear her apart. I won’t let that happen. We won’t. Kaitlin Crosse, my ace, my fixation, and my future.
*Please note this is a reverse harem and the author suggests you always read the forward in her books. Contains some bullying elements, mature situations, and is recommended for 17+. This is book four of four in a series.

I love books. Not just a little bit, but a lot. Books were my best friends when I was growing up. Books didn’t care if I was new to a town or to a class. They were always there, my trustiest of companions. Until they turned on me and said I had to write them.

I can tell you that my own personal happily ever after included writing books. I’ve always said that an HEA is a work in progress. It’s true in my marriage, my friendships, and in my career. I am constantly nurturing my muse as we dive into new tales, new tropes, new characters and more.

After seventeen years back in Texas, we relocated to the Pacific Northwest in search of seasons, new experiences, and new geography. I can’t wait to discover what life (and my muse) have in store for me.

Maybe writing was always my destiny and romance my fate. After all, my grandmother wasn’t a fan of picture books and used to read me her Harlequin Romance novels.

Friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, friends to enemies to lovers, you name it, I love them and love to write them. I started with Earth Witches Aren’t Easy, the first in the Chance Monroe trilogy, but my characters and I have traveled a long way since I created that urban fantasy world.

One of the series I hear my readers recommend the most is the Untouchable series followed in quick succession by the Vandals, and that just delights me. No lie, whenever one of my readers brings up my wolves, I do a little a fist pump.

I’m active on social media, and I love hearing from readers. Feel free to tag me with a question about any of my books, or just say hi!

Wow, I WAS NOT READY for this series to end! I swear that Heather could continue writing about this group of misfits throughout the years and I would never get tired of reading about their day to day shenanigans and watching their family grow! There were so many good moments in this final book that really helped to solidify KC’s relationship with Lachlan, Jonas, and Ramsey to ensure that it would last a lifetime! I also really loved seeing all the guys go to bat for her time and time again! She finally had a solid team on her side to help her face all of the daily stress she was fielding from all aspects of her life!

And watching all the guys get close again after barely being able to tolerate each other in book one also pulled on my heart strings, to think these are the same guys we met at the beginning of this series is mind blowing! Their growth as characters was by far one of my favorite parts of this series as a whole! Like, watching each of them put in the time and effort to work on themselves so that they could better support KC however she needed spoke volumes to how far they all came given their previous fight on sight mentality towards her. Also, watching the rest of the people in KC’s life come together to truly support her with the intention of staying for the long run was SOOOOOOOO satisfying, she was finally getting all of the love and support from all angles that she deserved from the start! 👏🏻

Now, there were definitely a lot of loose ends that needed to be tied up and while we did get answers to everything there was a whole section of the book where it felt like KC couldn’t catch a break! 🥺 Right when everything was looking up, BAM! Life punch to the throat! Not once, but TWICE! 😭 I know everything turned out ok in the end but I just wanted things to be done for good so KC could finally appreciate the all of the hard-fought wins in her life despite all of the things she had to go through!

Now this is just wishful thinking but I REALLY hope that Heather will someday revisit these characters again because while we knew how everything ended for everyone, I can’t help but feel like things were also left a little open-ended, maybe on purpose? 👀 It helps that Heather even said herself in the acknowledgements that their story didn’t feel quite done either! 😈🤣 These characters have become a kind of home to me so I cannot wait until there’s another installment someday! 🥰🤞🏻

I really loved another series by Heather, so I gave this one a shot. I regret doing so.

The conclusion was very disappointing. The mystery conclusions felt like they were thrown in for the sake of being twists, erring on sloppy and repetitive. One of the mysteries was never resolved, and this situation is addressed in the book as “oh well!” Conversations among characters were similarly repetitive; there is one convo in particular that stands out to me where every few paragraphs the heroine says the same sentence to her friend.

I probably won’t read the next one.

I have loved every minute of KC’s journey. I love her relationship with Aubrey and Yvette, and how the 3 of them always have each other’s back. Everyone should have ride or die friends like that. I wasn’t sure how the events at the end of book 3 would play out, but I’m happy at how it worked out. I’m so glad KC and Gibs are working towards having a relationship again. That has been a big point of pain for KC for the past 10 years. The do*chebags 3 have come so far and owned up to their mistakes. They all want what is best for KC, and have worked to make sure they are part of that. Even Lachlan was able to move beyond his jealousy and realize that she needs Ramsey and Jonas just as much as she needs him. I love the way they love KC, Ramsey always taking care of her when she’s too busy taking care of everyone but herself. Jonas with music and just being where she needs him. Lachlan with running and helping her work out her energy when she’s waiting for news on Pen, or anything else that is going on. I loved the intervention scene, simply because it really showed just how many people KC has on her side. Even when she feels like she has to take care of everything, they want to take care of her. I admit, I was suspicious of Dix since the end of book 1, but I didn’t expect the revelations that came out. Forever Fan was a surprise too, never suspected that person. Seeing Frankie was a nice little moment, I love her and her guys 😍 This is a fantastic series and I’m sad it’s ending, but excited that there’s more to come in this world someday

All Wrapped up nicely!
Well after being thrown into the deep end at the concert for Pen, KC deals with it like a total champion! I am so glad they put Teddy in his place though. However this starts to open up those communication lines between Gibs and KC and you can’t help but cheer for her, although it’s hard going! And someone certainly has a lot to answer for…although for me I personally felt like there had to be a bit more to the story as to why Linzi feels that way about KC above just hate.
Yet Ramsey, Lachlan, and Jonas know the true character of KC and are in full support of her, which she needs dealing with all the drama and worry surrounding each of her family members😣 she also has her amazing girl crew in Aubrey and Yvette, plus Frankie 😀 as things start to improve with her family her idiot boyfriends have to throw a spanner in the works 🙈 honestly poor Kaity can never catch a break!! As it all comes to a head, there’s surprise stalkers coming out the wood works…one of them didn’t see coming at all! 😲 Thankfully KCs stepbrothers play heroes, what’s more they really show KC her worth and that’s there’s more to her 🥰 What’s more her found family really come together to support the girl whose been shouldering everything for so long!
A sweet ending to this series about a girl finding herself, despite what the world throws at her 😊

Im filled with bitter sweet feelings. On one hand I'm so happy I was finally able to listen to the audiobook, the wait was worth it on the other I'm sad this part of the story is over 😢
So this was my first ever Rockstar romance book. And I'm very happy this series was my introduction to that genre , I'll definitely dabble with more Rockstar romance books.

As always I still absolutely adore Jonas. He may have been a dweeb in the beginning but ended up being my favorite character.  I will always be team Jonas.

I wasn't sure how everything was going to pan out with everything going on, from the events at the fundraiser concert to the forever Fan and everything else in between but dang. And double dang. It was one thing after another.  Like call KC and acrobat because she was jumping through hoop after emotional hoop

There's some plot events I wish we had more details on because it was like  a w.  T... f ... *  brain explosion* and I really wanted to know why lol I'm trying to be vauge on what I'm talking about

But overall I really did enjoy this and I look forward to reading more of this authors work!

I was so anxiously anticipating this release. Over the course of this series, I fell so in love with both the characters, and Heather Long's writing. This book absolutely did not disappoint. It gave the resolution I needed for KC and her guys, as well as answered so many questions I have had throughout the series. It hit every point it needed to and ended up being the perfect conclusion to a series that I adore. Also, I would just like to say that As much as I would have loved for this series to continue, just so that I could hold on to KC and her guys for just a bit longer, their ending was incredibly satisfying.

I can't wait to read what Heather does next, and am hoping to see KC in future series, like we have seen Frankie from Untouchables in this one.

Arc read in exchange for an honest review!

This series has kept me in my toes, from bullying, to ninja kisses, to stalking and kidnapping. All the guys are great in their own ways and perfect for KC. Who happens to be one of the strongest and compassionate FMC I’ve read. This series had it all!

This one wrapped up the series so well. We got some many questions answered, had some hiccups along the way, but in the end it was a great ending to KC and the guys story. I really enjoyed the character growth from our MCs to all the side characters. Gibs and KC’s relationship was one I was really excited to see grow. I was shocked at who the Forever Fan was, definitely did not see that coming, I would have liked to see what Dix had to say for himself too. I would love to see Aubrey and Yvette get their guys or HEA in the future!

Ninja Kisser is still my fave!

Money Shot by Heather Long is a slow burn reverse harem romance. This is the fourth and final book in the Blue Ivy Prep series.

I absolutely love Heather's books! She does an amazing job pulling in from the first chapter and keeping me hooked until the very end. I don't want to give any spoilers away. So, I will just say that Heather did a great job wrapping up their story. I really enjoyed the relationship between KC, Jonas, Lachlan, and Ramsey. Their relationship was extremely messy, but you can't help but root for them. I really enjoyed getting all of their point of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

I would highly recommend this series if you like contemporary romances, reverse harem romances, or bully romances.

Money Shot is the fourth and final book in the Blue Ivy Prep series, and let me just say that I was not prepared for it to end.

I adore KC and the douchebag three so much and have thoroughly enjoyed their character growth and relationship dynamics throughout the series. KC is one FMC that I genuinely love! She is strong and sassy with a heart of gold. As for the douchebag three, what can I say? I freaking love them all too! Did they have their issues? Yep. Did KC make them work for it? Also yep! They eventually got their crap together and finally gave me what I had been waiting for the entire time.

One thing I would like to mention is that I genuinely love how Heather's writing keeps you in suspense all the way to the very end. Plot twist after plot twist, I was hooked for the entire series!!

Can we just talk about that ending for a moment? I see what you did there, Heather, and I’m watching you. I need more of their story like right now, so please excuse me while I go sob quietly in a corner while you work on that (wink wink).

Overall, I highly recommend Blue Ivy Prep and I can confidently say that I will read it again! All four books are available on Amazon now!

Money Shot

I enjoyed this series from stalkers to mean girls, family Dynamics and an exploration of fame. And much more this series covered a lot. All the plot lines were wrapped up. A satisfying conclusion to the Blue Ivy Prep series. There were a lot of things to be revealed as well as The characters working on their relationships. Culminating in a climatic ending and an interesting foreword that may hint at more. Definitely recommend The series and all of Heather Series 💙

… and it’s over


Saying goodbye to this series isn’t possible, I imagine I will reread this one multiple times in the future.

Book four leaves us with everything tied in a bow. The stalking, the lies, the complicated family and that’s just the guys she ends up with.
The only thing I wish this book had was more. I wanted a glimpse into the future. I wanted to see Torched on tour with the guys. I wanted to see the evil stepmother apologise. But I can’t complain because these guys finally got a happy ending without the chaos.

I feel bereft, how can it be over...I need more.

The most special thing for me in these books was actually the friendship between Aubrey, KC and Yvette. I routed for them more than the RH relationship and every time the girls proved how devoted they were to KC I got emotional. What amazing friendships to aspire to.

The family relationships in these books has been great, I loved Johnny and all KC's siblings especially the relationships around Tracy and Gibs, such depth despite not being main storylines.

Well this book answered all the questions we had, except one which the author addressed in a way that's so real you can't help but smile.

Jonas is still my fave but Lachlan and Ramsey both had stand out moments in this book that made me love them just that little bit more. An enjoyable conclusion to the series.

Bittersweet! I’m so sad to see this series end. KC has been through so much. Her guys proved themselves, despite multiple errors in judgment. I enjoyed all the shenanigans and cried heartbrokenly with KC during the ups and downs. The author did such an excellent job of making her real. Personable. Relatable. (Even if KC is a literal rockstar.) I loved this whole series and will revisit it often. I highly recommend!

I recently received an Advanced Reader Copy from the Author for an honest review.

I was so excited to get this copy as I have loved this series from the first book!

I love how we get to understand more of KC and her family dynamics. Plus we get to see how her relationship is with Ramsey, Lachlan and Jonas. (Jonas is my fave). There are so many positive events in this book that just makes you smile and dance for joy. KC is so much more than a rockstar / problem child and that she has such a huge heart for those around her, but it is really good to see how she is growing. Hard to imagine she is still a teenager and has to shoulder so much responsibility.

The thanksgiving scene was my absolute favourite where Jennifer (KC's mom) says the best line of the series... I was laughing out loud so much!!

But, we also finally get to have some much needed answers behind who has KC's guitar, who kidnapped her and stuck in the fridge and who the favourite fan is......and some dodgy shenanigans from an unexpected person.

This series had me obsessed! Reading till late, reading whilst cooking, while standing in the queue at the store, sending my husband and son out for quality time so i could "clean" (yip i was reading) lol

These books were awesome and I highly suggest that you give them a read!

***4.5 Stars***

I enjoyed this book especially all of the twists. Just when I thought I figured it all out there were unexpected twists that I never saw coming. The book is a good wrap-up for this part of KC’s life. So much has happened over the past few years in her pursuit of just being normal so I was glad this book was able to wrap things up and see KC figuring out what her next steps needed to be.

I love that KC wants to look after everyone in her family but this book definitely showed the toll that put her through. I loved her connecting with Gibs and her relationship development with the guys. Jonas, Ramsey, and Lachlan were so protective and want to be there to support KC in every way. They wouldn’t be guys though if they didn’t mess things up from time to time which kept it interesting. I still feel like there was more with their mom and why she hated KC so much but who knows.

This is a great series with so many twists that will leave you guessing until the end! I am definitely hoping we see more of KC and her guys in the future!

Series review

Would have been better as a duet

The first 2 books could have easily been condensed and combined to be 1 book not enough new stuff happening just boring school is majority of it. Books 3 and 4 also could have been combined and in 4th final book the author just got lazy and decided to say oh ya the people who we hated and were bad in book 1 also kidnapped her in book 2 but waits until book 4 to tell us very lame. I mean it does not talk about the kidnappers at all and then suddenly to wrap up they decide to confess and it was RJ and the girl again just seemed lazy if it was them they should have figured it out sooner.

Also I called a forest being the forever fan from the beginning he was acting too nice to not be a bad person and then I was like oh he is the forever fan way too easy to figure out.

I was very disappointed in this series would not recommend!

DNF. Another series that dragged on for too long. All the family drama and how poor Kaitlyn was so stressed by it all just dragged on for too long and became boring. The same storylines carried on over several books with no resolution in sight. Things that were foreshadowed, for which the reader could easily guess the outcome, did not see an outcome for a long time. Sigh.

I finally finished the series. I didn't enjoy it as much as I enjoyed other Heather books, mainly because I couldn't connect with Lachlan.

Every time he showed up I felt like giving up on the book, and if it wasn't for KC, Jonas and Ramsey, I would have. I feel like out of the three he evolved the least, he screwed up each and every book and I really don't know why KC forgave him. I feel like his presence in the harem was the least necessary, his scenes with KC bored the hell out of me, there are a certain amount of times I can read them going on a run without getting bored.

I feel like they had nothing in common other than that, and almost all of their interactions were based on sex, them running around and him fucking her. He kept keeping secrets, kept hurting KC, forced his brothers to keep such a big secret from him instead of telling him what they were planning, and so much more. I really hoped KC would send him packing and be left alone with Jonas and Ramsey.

But for some reason Heather seemed to justify every single mistake he made. I don't know why and I don't pretend to understand.

Of the rest I liked it, I loved Aubrey and Yvette and if Heather decides to write about them, I will read her books.

The evolution of all the characters (minus Lachlan), was amazing. Each and every one of them. Especially from KC, Ramsey and Jonas. They learned to trust each other and their relationship despite the ups and downs, improved tremendously.

I will definitely continue to read Heather. 3.5/5 ⭐ to the series overall.

********

Por fin terminé la serie. No la disfruté tanto como disfruté otros libros de Heather, principalmente porque no pude conectar con Lachlan.

Cada vez que aparecía me daban ganas de abandonar el libro, y si no fuese por KC, Jonas y Ramsey, lo habría hecho. Siento que de los tres fue el que menos evolucionó, la cagó todos y cada uno de los libros y la verdad no sé porque KC lo perdonó. Siento que su presencia en el harén fue la menos necesaria, sus escenas con KC me aburrían muchísimo, hay una cierta cantidad de veces que puedo leer que ellos salen a correr sin aburrirme.

Siento que no tenían nada en común a parte de eso, y casi todas sus interacciones se basaban en sexo, ellos corriendo y él cagándola. Siguió guardando secretos, siguió hiriendo a KC, obligó a sus hermanos a ocultarle un secreto tan grande en lugar de decirle lo que planeaban, y mucho más. Realmente esperaba que KC lo mandara a la mierda y se quedara solo con Jonas y Ramsey.

Pero por alguna razón Heather pareció justificar todos y cada uno de los errores que cometía él. No sé porqué y no pretendo entenderlo.

Del resto me gustó, amé a Aubrey e Yvette y si Heather decide escribir sobre ellas, leeré sus libros.

La evolución de todos los personajes (menos Lachlan), fue increíble. De todos y cada uno de ellos. Sobre todo de KC, Ramsey y Jonas. Aprendieron a confiar entre ellos y su relación a pesar de los altibajos, mejoró muchísimo.

Definitivamente seguiré leyendo a Heather. 3.5/5 ⭐ a la serie en general.

If you haven't read the previous books in this series, STOP, go back and read them. This book begins where the last one ended.

The prologue of this book takes us back in time to a scene with Kaitlin and her father. The first chapter takes us to Kaitlin being blindsided by being sent on stage to perform with her father Gibson Crosse. At that moment I was OMG someone's gonna die or be badly hurt. Their set sends the crowd wild and when Aubrey and Yvette join them it was even better.

Off the stage it's Lachlan who gets the first shot in on their manager Teddy as Ramsey holds KC back. There are cameras and microphones back here.

If that wasn't enough, KC's mother shows up screeching and smacking Gibs, nothing like a bit more backstage drama before the girls had to go back on stage. Her excuse for being there is lame, KC already met her fiancé the guru and doesn't like him at all.

The crowd is once again thrilled when Torched comes back out for their final set, their new song is for Pen and KC gives credit to Jonas for the help writing the music.

By the time the concert is over for them, everyone is ready to go home, but there's press to be done first. When Gibs comes out of the room as they approached, Linzi was there as well. KC asks to speak with her dad, who agrees to wait for her to finish with the press.

The press was interesting but it truly is afterward that takes the cake.

Linzi doesn't bother to hide how she feels about KC and keeps trying to get Gibs to leave. He doesn't and the conversation he has with his Kaity is truly eye-opening.

This is only the beginning. KC will deal with her mother, and her mother will have to accept the fact that Johnny is staying there and her fiancé guru Roger is banned from the property. the guys will help with their mom and Aubrey, Yvette and KC will deal with their manager Teddy. What he did was way over the line.

There's still a lot of loose ends that will get wrapped up in this book. There are many OMG surprises some good, some bad. There's also secrets that have a horrible way of coming out and causing havoc.

I truly hope there will be more, perhaps centered on Aubrey and Yvette, with KC and the guys of course!

Truly an exciting, sizzling, satisfying finale to this series!

'Beautiful Fury'

We have come full circle. I have enjoyed this series tremendously and the ending was everything I needed. The author closed up every loose end we have had questions about, and then just when you think you had all of the answers, she decided to throw us for a curve ball with a twist I never saw coming.

Taking off right where book one ended, KC is bombarded onstage with her father at the benefit concert. In true KC fashion though, she makes it look effortless, like it was planned all along. The fight for Penny's heath continues and soon Gibs is confronted with the truth. Only, KC always thought he knew what was going on with all of his kids, but oh how wrong she was. Seems dearest stepmother has more to hide than she ever let on...

With Lachlan, Ramsey and Jonas all by her side; They are determined more than ever to make sure KC knows how much she means to them. With a million things going on, they are helping ground KC and offering what they can to ensure she doesn't cave from all the pressure on her shoulders.

The entire book is filled with answers for our girl. The steam continues on with the guys and when the conclusion is reached, we are left with KC finally being able to enjoy her life for her and no one else. Thats the best part. KC is finally truly happy.

I really enjoyed this series so much and the buildup was perfection. I loved how all of the guys complimented her, and Aubery and Yvette were just everything! They were truly the best girlfriends you could have, and I enjoyed how much they were all willing to go for KC, no matter what. The ending seemed to come up too fast and I was not ready for the overall HEA. I will miss these characters.

"Music is a passion. It gets into your blood, sets you on fire, and never lets you go."

*Overall 4.5/5
*Heat? 4/5
*Fast burn
*Multiple first person POV

Kaitlin Crosse has the admiration of millions of fans across the world. She has the loyalty of her two best friends. She has the love of her family. She has the attention of some twisted minds. And she holds the hearts of three brothers.

I’m not sure there’s an author any more skilled than Heather Long at character development. The emotional growth and intricacies involved with each character she creates are written masterfully. This is true of every main character and several supporting characters in this book. KC discovers what normal life means to and for her. Jonas and Lachlan learn different forms of control while their older brother Ramsey learns to give some of his control up. The douchebags three all learn to put others needs first and KC learns she doesn’t have to shoulder the world. The way their growth all fits together seamlessly is brilliant. Surprisingly, however, Gibs was the one who brought tears to my eyes. This finale was a complete success. It completed every storyline and made me feel so much along the way. Outrage (or should I say beautiful fury), anxiety, admiration, fear, vengefulness, hope, and ultimately, satisfaction. When I started this series, I wasn't convinced. I loved Frankie and her guys and wasn't sure KC would be enough after the success of that series. Sometimes, you have no idea what you need. I may even love KC a little more than Frankie (don't tell) KC had so much story to tell and I think she still has more to share in the future. She's also made me greedy for more Aubrey and Yvette. I love the friendship of these three. The girls' love story was as important to me as KC and the boys. Sister goals. Aubrey and Yvette have earned their own harems. I just know Yvette must be a bit of a freak. I don't know if they have a series but I do know they each have a book in them. Right now I will celebrate KC and the Boys.

Loved this series, I read all of the untouchables series and I personally liked this one more. I would have loved for it to have more books/ I think it’s in desperate need of atleast one more book. The first book started off so strong and had so many good potential plot lines. However, a lot of them never got ironed out the way you would want and basically just got dropped when it was convenient .
- The first book starts an almost gossiper girl like story line with a blog. This plot line is completely dropped at some point in the series with no explanation. Like was there a way to connect this to dix’s unexplained spying (another plot line that was left very unfinished) what was his motive?
-Another plot line I was sad to see didn’t have nearly enough attention was the cult plot line. The mom easily walks away after so many crazy things happen it’s so anti climactic with David the guru it was a very big missed opportunity.
-how was the linzi stuff not a bigger deal and more detailed. Left in the end not knowing why she did it? We can assume she was jealous but that’s really not enough. Is the dad still with her? How was he still thinking about it? In any other series this character would have been crucified.
-the Payton & RJ kidnapping was just thrown in the end so weird when it was such a huge plot line.
-we just accepted we may never know what went on with the fire? Like wth
- we also never meet or get any real details on the missing 3 younger kids. Did gibs reach out? Do they see them?

Spent 4 books dragging out and teasing these big stories just to quickly wrap them up in simple but very unsatisfying ways. Regardless I loved the series. I hope this isn’t the end end because the epilogue was lacking.

This was ending I was waiting for...

This was one of my most anticipated books for the 2nd half of the year. So of course when I got my hands on it I dropped everything, grabbed a drink, a throw and snuggled in to read because sleep is for the weak! As I sit here having just finished the book all I can think is WOW.

This last book in this series was everything I wanted it to be. Emotionally it was really, really satisfying. Heather Long is a master at character growth and I find that KC is a prime example. She's always been a good person with a big heart who has spent her life being let down by others except for her 2 besties and siblings. This was her "normal". Ironic since all she wanted was to be normal but by the end she finds that normal just means normal for her, for what works for KC and what she wants out of life. I loved that for her and even for her guys and family. I liked how things progressed with Gibs too, cause in the end he's her dad and she loves him. Again this book has ALL the feels and you tear up, cry but feel like you just went through a great therapy session. The DBs three also made great strides and I can't even begin to describe how happy it makes me to see how they worship KC. Quite the turnaround from book 1 for sure but they are so cute all together and all 3 give her all the things she needs. This book was just a wonderful combination of found family and actual family and I thought the way Heather handled it was well done.

So all of this to basically say I loved it! The series, this final book, the story, the characters. If you've ever read any of Heather Long's other books you know that she has a gift of getting you super attached to her characters. This was no exception. Therefore read all the way through the end cause what I read there made me squeal so loud I scared the stuffing out of my dog.

This was the fourth and final book of The Blue Ivy Prep Series. It is a Slow Burn, Academy, Rock Star, Why Choose novel. This series has so much mystery and drama you don't want to put the book down. In the end all the right people get a happy ending.

I'm so happy to finally get all the answers to the questions that I've been waiting for. This book starts off right where book three ends, KC on Stage with her estranged father. She must think on her feet on how she is going to handle the situation with her dad. Plus, how much she is willing for the public to see. Of Course, she takes control and adjusts at all challenges thrown her way.

I love the friendships in the series. They way her bandmates always have her back and how they can anticipate each other's actions and needs. Who wouldn't want friends and family to respect you and your choice enough to always back up your decisions.

Each of the guys have fully redeemed themself to me. Even though they made some questionable decisions, their hearts were in the right place. I love that when the time came to make a choice about KC and their relationship, they chose her. They defended and protected her from all those who would have done her harm.

I fell in love with this series in the first book, even though it was a slow burn. Something about the way KC is written, made me want to learn all about her troubles and who was to blame for them. If you enjoy a slow burn, Why Choose, academy series I highly recommend this one.

I love this series. It wrapped up so beautifully. The this book isn't just about a famous rockstar girl meeting three guys, falling in love , .. No this is about so much more. KC has grown up in the spotlight, never having a 'normal' life but wanting one, wanting a relationship with her mom and dad, having her brothers and sisters healthy and happy in her life, finding a balance between her passion for music and touring and her home life, figuring out how to not always be the one who is responsible for everything and everyone else. And wiht so much bad stuff happening to her!

This last book gave us so much answers about who did all those horrible things to her. It gave me so much joy reading. Even beneath all the bad stuff and the heartbreak, they get their happy ending. The bond between KC and her family, friends and the guys was so great. The way they are there for eachother made me want that to.

And as always the way these guys interact with eachother ugh was absolutely amazing. It had me smiling so much! And even tho they bicker a lot, they know how much they all care about KC and will be there for her. Now the spicy bits OMG were so spicy and so beautiful and so hot and MMM what other word could i use for that..... especially the scene with Jonas and KC, oh dear heart of mine be still. So beautiful.

As the sun sets on the final installment of Blue Ivy Prep, readers will find themselves brimming with satisfaction, nostalgia, and an overwhelming sense of fulfillment. The last book in this remarkable series provides an emotionally charged, unforgettable journey that resolves every lingering question, ties up every loose end, and leaves us with a radiant and heartwarming happy ending.

From the very first page, it is evident that Heather has meticulously planned the conclusion of this series. The plot unfurls like a tightly woven tapestry, as we rejoin our beloved characters on a rough and treacherous road that has tested their mettle and resolve throughout the series. The challenges they face in this concluding volume are no less harrowing, but their growth and resilience shine brighter than ever.

Heather has crafted a fitting and exceptional conclusion to Blue Ivy Prep. With a meticulously plotted narrative, a triumphant resolution for both heroes and villains, and heartwarming reunions with beloved characters, this book encapsulates the essence of the entire series. It is a testament to Heather's storytelling prowess and an ode to the enduring power of love, friendship, and resilience. Money Shot is an absolute must-read for fans who have journeyed alongside these characters, and a shining example of the beauty of happy endings.

Queue me screaming. OH MY GOD, I was not ready for the turns that Blue Ivy has taken! I have a huge respect for books that are more plot than not. Slow burn romance will always have a place in my heart. The closure that Money Shot gives is so fitting. I can say that a few theories I had were right, but there were several complete shocks. Heather has an amazing talent to build entire worlds with her words. The way you are forced to lead with emotions, even when the facts are in your face. I don't think I'll ever get used to it.

The build-up between KC, Jonas, Lachlan, and Ramsey is electric. I'm only a little obsessed with MMCs being forced to eat their own words and grovel after. I desperately need more miscommunication/assumption tropes in my life. I can not praise the real aspects of this series enough. There are hard topics being addressed, showing that all that glitters is not always gold. The guys witness the real version of Kaitlin Crosse and not just the media version. KC has always and will always put her family before herself, even when they are the least deserving. The dark side of fame is a heavy hitter, especially in this particular book. I'm still reeling over the last few chapters!

Don't miss out on Kaitlin's story at Blue Ivy Prep! It's one for the books.
