Fiction. Romance. HTML:

Nick Sebring has issues. Born feeling like an outsider in his own family, growing up under the shadow of a brother who could do anything, Nick isn't that great of a guy. But when this culminates with Nick lashing out to hurt his brother through the woman he loves, Nick turns inward and makes some decisions about the man he intends to be.

And as he does this, he falls in love and truly learns the man that he's grown to be.

When his love is murdered right before Nick's eyes, Nick knows he has to avenge her. He knows how he's going to avenge her. And he has no qualms using Olivia Shade to exact that vengeance.

Olivia Shade has grown up on the outside of her family too. Her problem is that they don't want her outside. They want her all the way in, right under their thumbs. She pays the price for seeking escape and learns her lessonâ??she'll never see a dawn where she wakes up free.

Then she meets Nick Sebring, and even as she fights it, the hope that died years ago starts to blossom. She can find love. She can have a man of her own. She can be happy. She can be free.

Olivia hopes while Nick schemes.

However, as Nick peels back the layers of all that is Olivia Shade, he finds something surprising. He understands its fragility. He falls in love with its beauty. He seeks to protect it.

But he forgets to protect his Livvie from one thing: Nick Sebring.… (mehr)

I really enjoyed Nick and Olivia's story. It had all the K A elements I enjoy with some action added in for interest. I loved catching up with Knight, Creed, Sylvie, Deacon....all of them! I'm thinking I need to re-read Knight now for 3rd or 4th time. Great end to the series. ( )

Wow! Now I have to start the next series that I think is a spin-off of this one.
I loved it.
Absolutely awesome. Best of the series. ( )

The storyline, the plot was good albeit a bit unnecessarily stretched out. The writing style not so much. I dont think I am gonna read any other book from this author ( )

Of all the books in the Unfinished Hero series, this one was the best. Nick Sebring had to witness the death of his lover, FBI agent Hattie, when their covers were blown. He vows revenge on the Shade crime family when he is rescued. Nick uses Olivia Shade's visits to a local sex club to instigate a meet as a way to get her into his bed and find out more about her family's organization. Olivia has spent her life trying to live with and work for her crime boss father and crooked sister. Her father went so far as to torture her and her lover when she dared to try and leave. Olivia doesn't believe in the possibility of a normal life until she and Nick start to get closer, but what will happen when Olivia finds out that Nick used her as a way to get back at her family for what they did to Hattie?
This was a very good story with many heart tugging scenes. Nick and Olivia have both had their share of heartache caused by the Shade family, giving them common ground from the start of their relationship. This story included all of the Unfinished Heroes from the series and concluded each of their stories in a satisfying way. Overall this book was good way to bring this series to a close. ( )

At first I wasn't sure I was going to be able to finish this book.

Olivia, the good girl daughter of a mobster. I get that she's basically had everything that's good and pure stomped out of her. Hell, her father taught her just how not hers her life was in one lesson. I can see why anyone first meeting her would think "Ice Princess".

Nick Sebring, wow, talk about a man on a mission. Avenge his dead girlfriend and bring down a "bad" family at the same time. But that was before he met and fell for Olivia. Destroying Vincent Shade may mean that Livvie might get caught up in the middle of all of this. Instead of keeping her safe he would put her life on the line and could he stand to watch another woman he loves die.

The way these two get together and the first part of their relationship was so cold and twisted I honestly didn't think there could be a happy ending for these two. But I forgot, this is Kristen Ashley and there is no one better than she at bringing together couples who are damaged, out for revenge, or just so buried in the seedy side of life they can't imagine what "free" feels like.

Once out Nick get his heart involved and stops thinking only of making Vincent Shade pay for his sins I started to get into their romance. Him realizing that Livvie and making her safe was more important than killing or maiming Shade then we had a hero with a redeemable quality and him we could cheer for and fall in love with.

This is not to say our lovers had an easy road to "happy ever after" but man did we start wishing for it. Her sister Georgia turns out to be just as crazy, if not more so, than daddy dearest. Benito Valenzuela makes an appearance here too...another hombre loco! (If you have read KA's Chaos series then you know whom which I speak.)

I'm glad I didn't give up...a couple of times this book brought me to tears. Such emotional discoveries and realizations happen to Livvie that you start to understand it's all an act and the coldness she projects in just herself trying to protect all the good emotions (love, hope, trust) that have a small glimmer in her soul.

So in the end, just like Livvvie, I put my trust in Sebrimg and hope for the best. ( )
