Claire, you have done it again! I have read all the books in the Hearts series and I have to say Victor and Nicole are by far the best couple! This was a fantastic end to the series!

Victor Reuben was the ideal bachelor. He is great looking, has a great job as a lawyer, and everything he could want. Victor is determined to stay away from love and marriage. Little does he know he’s about to get his second chance at love, but just how far is he willing to go to get it?

Now, Nicole Alessi is soon to be divorced from one of Hollywood’s elite. Her dad is Victor’s boss and he has decided that Victor is the one going to make the divorce happen and end up partner at the firm once this case is over. Problem is can they stay away from each other when they both still so desperately want each other?

Nicole and Victor had a fling five years before her divorce. Victor called it quits after discovering she was the boss’s daughter. They both understood no string attached and Nicole walked out of that relationship and right into her marriage not long after. I love that Nicole owns that she walked away and that their “relationship” wasn’t really a relationship after all. Victor seems to have never gotten over the fact that she left and got married. He’s the one who ended their fling but yet is the one who is the most hurt over it.

Once Victor is back in Nicole’s life, she knew exactly what she wanted from him and made it known. I loved Nicole! Truly a woman who speaks her mind and is strong despite what she’s going through with her soon to be ex-husband. At first you feel like Victor is a hard-ass but once the story gets going, you find that he is truly a romantic (and a bit of a dirty talker!). Soon they both realize there is no denying their chemistry and end up sneaking around. There are quite a few twist and turns and a few moments where you just felt like their relationship might not make it. However, the relationship between Victor and Nicole is absolutely amazing. I enjoyed their banter and you could just feel their chemistry jumping right off the pages!

The Hearts series was all I could hope for. Oliver and Estelle, Mia and Jensen and Victor and Nicole were all amazing. I highly recommend reading the entire series. Twists and turns, swoon worthy moments, hot sex, lots of tears and a beautiful happily ever after! You couldn’t ask for anything more! Outstanding Claire!
