About this listen
After a long battle to discover the truth, the men and women of Hard Ink have a lot to celebrate, especially the wedding of two of their own - Nick Rixey and Becca Merritt - whose hard-fought love deserves a happy ending.
As Nick and the team shift from crisis mode to building their new security consulting firm, Becca heads back to work at the ER. But amid the everyday chaos of their demanding jobs and upcoming nuptials, an old menace they thought was long gone reemerges, threatening the peace they've only just found.
Now, for one last time, Nick and Becca must fight for their always and forever, because they know that when true love overcomes all the odds, it lasts hard ever after.

Story
Trouble just walked into Nicholas Rixey's tattoo parlor. Becca Merritt is warm, sexy, wholesome, pure temptation to a very jaded Nick. He's left his military life behind to become co-owner of Hard Ink Tattoo, but Becca is his ex-commander's daughter. Loyalty won't let him turn her away. Lust has plenty to do with it too. With her brother presumed kidnapped, Becca needs Nick. She just wasn't expecting to want him so much.

Home from the Marines, Noah Cortez has a secret he doesn’t want his oldest friend, Kristina Moore, to know. It kills him to push her away, especially when he’s noticing just how sexy and confident she’s become in his absence. But, angry and full of fight, he’s not the same man anymore either. Which is why Warrior Fight Club sounds so good. Kristina loves teaching, but she wants more out of life. She wants Noah - the boy she’s crushed on and waited for. But Noah is secretly spiraling, and when he lashes out, it threatens what he and Kristina have found.

In one second, my life disappeared. My past. My memories. My future. The only certainty I have from the last three years is that my older brother is dead and that I am the only eyewitness. In order to protect the case, the lawyers demand no one give me any information about my life...I must remember on my own. My only help comes from my brother’s best friend and world-renowned investigative reporter Spencer Cross. He has no idea how many nights I’ve spent dreaming of his name—and his body—next to mine. Each day we spend together, I find it harder to want my old life back.

In the Virginia countryside outside of Washington, DC, Addy Wentworth was on a mission to make a new life for herself. When the opportunity arose, she settled in horse and wine country. Experiencing more than her fair share of tragedy and loss, she had plans for her future, one where failure wasn’t an option. And not just because people and cows were counting on her.

Had a little trouble with this one
Any additional comments?
I really enjoyed this series, but wasn't crazy about part of this. Steamy sex: check. Update on all the relationships: check. Heart-warming moments: check. Villain: check. And therein lies the rub. I couldn't believe Becca wouldn't confide in Nick right away when she thinks she sees Woodson. That was somewhat unbelievable to me and just a little annoying. That said, the rest of this novella was a nice, quick listen to cap off the series.

A bit sickly sweet, but sometimes that's ok
This was a sweet end to Nick and Becca's story. I had hoped that it would be a closing for every one of the couples but, maybe there will more stories to come. I do hope there will be more adventure for this crew of friends and family, as I have become very fond of these characters. I guess only time will tell.

A great end to an enthralling series
Seraphina Valentine is an amazing narrator. She has the ability to create distinctive character voices and emote believably - which brings the story to life.
And this was such a great conclusion to the series. I loved getting back into Nick and Becca's story.
