From the point of view of all six characters we’ve come to love, perspective is offered on the hell that they’re all experiencing, the love they’ve all found, and the sexy, fairytale lives they all wish to get back. The only question is will they all be left stand once the dust settles and the smoke clears?

EXCERPT

I shake my head clear of those thoughts as I pull into and park in the subterranean garage. I all but jump out of the SUV and sprint to the elevator bank, in a mad rush to get to my penthouse. I’m chastising myself for not grabbing a bottle of wine or a late lunch for us as I unlock the door to the large apartment.

I empty my pockets into the basket on the front entry table. I smile to myself because I know Alexa hates the damn thing. I may actually move it this weekend. Anything to make her happy. I frown as I step further into the apartment and see that the living room and kitchen are empty. I should’ve called her first before just assuming she wouldn’t find something to do, knowing I’d be at work again until late.

I kick off my shoes and scoop them up as I make my way to the bedroom. The door is shut which is odd, but I don’t falter in my steps until I hear a man’s voice, “Fuck, just like that! Suck it deep.”

My hand hesitates on the doorknob, because I know when I swing it open my life is going to change. I teeter on the edge of indecision; my broken heart throbbing painfully in my chest. “I’m close, bitch.” I hear the masculine voice say.

Two things happen at the moment. I’m suddenly angry that Alexa is doing this to me when she thinks I’m at work, but alternately I’m pissed at this man for talking to my woman like that.

Hatred over the cheating wins out and I swing the door wide. My shoes tumble from my hands just as “What the fuck, Alexa,” boils out of my mouth.

She squeaks loudly and tries to pull the sheets over her but it’s too late. She’s already been caught.






AUTHOR BIO

Marie James, full-time working mother of two boys and wife of 11 years. I've spent almost my entire lifetime living in central Texas, with only short stays in South Carolina, Alabama, and Florida. I've always wanted to write novels and just recently had the gumption to sit down and start one. When I'm not writing I'm reading. There are never enough hours in the day for both.
To Hale and Back is the fourth and final book in the Hale Series but there are so many other stories banging around in my head, with the possibility of an MC spin-off from this series. My current work in progress....well lets just say I can't wait for you to meet them!

ALPHA BOOK CLUB REVIEW

Title: To Hale and Back
Series Name: Hale series, Book 4
Author: Marie James
Genre: Romance

Overall Stars:  5 STARS

Alpha Male
Suspense  


This is one ending that is fit to take notice.

Just when things seem like they’re getting back to normal and everyone is safe, drugs, money, and vengeance lead a rogue group into action, culminating in a series of events that leave one man dead and another in jail for a wide range of crimes, none of which he is guilty of.

This incredibly strong and close knit group of six will be pushed to their limits when they are thrown into adversity. But can they come out unscathed? The situation turns dire when friendships and bonds are tested past the breaking point. Allegiances are questioned and relationships may crumble.

This final chapter in the Hale Series is told through the point of view of all six main characters from the series, each one giving their own perspective and thoughts on the hell they are all going through.(Amazon blurb)
If a conclusion to all your questions from the very beginning, with a touch of humour, where the two characters meet up at random, exchange witty and sarcastic banter, all the while running away from their own demons and as a result having, for the most part, negative effects on them, is to your liking, then you're in luck - C.A. Harms' To Hale and Back, the epic conclusion to the Hale series, is the novel to grab your attention to such a degree that you'd swear you haven't slept in days. Finally, a family reunion of all the previous couples in one novel and the suspense to keep you on edge as they must work together to save and prove the innocence of one of their own. Once again. C.A. Harms demonstrates her talents in writing an amazing romantic suspense novel that simply grabs you by the shoulders and forces you to keep reading until the very last page.

Review
5 OMG Stars

This was the best. Wow. I know I already said OMG, but seriously I was not expecting this. I read the synopsis for this book a few weeks ago. I knew that this last book was going to be about the three couples Lorali, Ian, Alexa, Garrett, Josie and Kaleb. As I was reading about all the sex they were all having, I was thinking okay a nice little wrap up tied up in a pretty bow. Hell no, bam, the unthinkable happens. Who saw this coming? Garrett and Alexa, they took this book to the next level. I can not, I will not tell you what happens. You are going to have to get this book and read it for yourself. A hint maybe, Garrett gets pretty dark. The friendship of the six is tested to the limits.
