I loved how this series ended. It gave me all the feels happy, sad and literally I was sitting on the edge of my seat. I never felt bored reading any of these books and they were a fast and easy read. I highly recommend reading this series.

Another brilliant book in the series! I am loving these men so much!!! They are so possessive, alpha, headstrong, dangerous, and loyal!
Such a great ending to the series and what a bombshell that was dropped near the end! I did not see it coming!! It was action packed, identities were revealed, bombs were dropped, secrets were uncovered and it was such a great page turner!
Alainas growth was so freaking good! She went from a scared, naive little girl to a strong, confident badass woman and I live for that shit!!!

With her mother giving herself up to Alaina's captor and giving her time to escape the crumbling building with her battered friend, Alaina finally gets to see her mother as redeemable. Her cold mother who had always held her at arm's length may have done so in a misguided attempt to keep her safe but had ultimately isolated Alaina from the bond she so desperately wanted. Perhaps that was why her mother stayed behind as the building started to crumble. Maybe that was why she had sent all this information to her aunt about her life to this point so that Alaina may know more about her life and the reason her father died. It seems their family had a role in the Fitzpatrick boys' life even before she knew them properly. The mysteries unfold in the final book of the trilogy and Alaina finally finds peace and love within the arms of her three warriors. But there is still the matter of who put the hit out on Alaina to be kidnapped. And the source of that ultimate evil comes in the most surprising of places.

After a few books of slow burn finally there is some real action going on. It was about time, but whereas a few books ago I was very upset with the lack of action, this didn't upset me as much. Because at least once it heated up it scorched off the pages. I loved the dynamic they had where the men still felt that possessive jealousy but were willing to put it aside for each other. They never came to blows over ownership of Alaina and assuaged her guilt over wanting more than just one of them. However, you could definitely tell that there was a far deeper bond with Sully than the others.

I liked that the mysteries were constantly changing and you never knew who was the enemy from one page to the next. The more you thought you had it pegged the more twists came up that made you stop and go, "what a minute..." The twist at the end did feel a bit rushed when they did their reveal over who was the mastermind behind the attacks on Alaina but it was nice to see the betrayal aspect wasn't too profound. It was a perfect ending to the trilogy.

I absolutely love this author and her debut series.

The rule with a Penelope Black book is to always ensure that you checkout the playlist and get that set to play whilst you devour this book / series ✅

Reading Wolf and Rush (books 1 and 2 of the Brotherhood series) is a must before reading Sully. The third and final book follows straight on from the previous just like Rush did from Wolf.

This book was just as fast paced as the two previous books and it was just as awesome as its predecessors.

This book featured more in the main four - Alaina, Wolf, Rush and Sully - and less of the seconded characters and that’s perfect because it is their story and no one else’s.

We see the relationship of the four grow as do the characters themselves.

There are breadcrumbs left for future side characters stories.

Thanks Penelope for sharing your awesome writing skills with us. I cannot wait to see what you come up with next!

Action and sexual tension!

This last book had me on edge! I am so happy the relationship between them all bloomed so well and we finally got answers to the craziness in their life’s. The suspenseful action was perfect and I for sure want to know more of their story after this.

Honestly, this book really disappointed me, I had really high hope since I loved the first 2 books, but I was very disappointed with this one. It was very rushed and so many things weren't written off properly.
