Harlequin Crew Book 4: Paradise Lagoon by Caroline Peckham & Susanne Valenti

Paradise Lagoon (The Harlequin Crew #4)
Harlequin Crew Book 4

I made my choice. I took the hard way out. Now all of our fates are riding on the dice I’m about to throw and luck never was on our side.

I was whole once, with my boys in this slice of paradise we’d carved out for ourselves, but in the time that we were parted we grew up. Grew apart. And as much as I might have yearned to reclaim that girl with the sand between her toes and the sun on her cheeks, it’s time I admit that I spent too long in the shadows to ever truly be her again.

My heart may be breaking for the men I left behind, but I know that I can make that pain count for something, because I’m no fool believing the pretty promises of a mad man.

No. I’m the assassin he just opened his fortress to. And now that I’m inside, I intend to repay him for every moment of suffering he has inflicted upon me and my boys.

Shawn Mackenzie thought he killed me once upon a time. Now this dead girl is back to return the favour.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

After the doozy of a cliffhanger from the previous book, we of course had to have another here. But wow! So much going down in this story. Sorry, there are gonna be slight spoilers, but if you have read the series so far then you already know. And for bits in this book, nothing you can't assume. Rogue has sacrificed herself to Shawn while her boys all think she was playing them from the beginning and waiting for a moment to break them like they broke her all those years ago. But she was protecting them and had to do the one thing she knew would keep them from coming after her. As she goes to the lion's den, JJ and Maverick hold on tighter to one another and go find Chase. They won't let their family fall more apart from this. While Fox is off dealing with his own heartbreak after learning the truth. Lucky for us, our group isn't split for too long. Not when JJ and Maverick find Chase and he calls them out on being idiots for believing Rogue's lies. A rescue mission is in place. But everyone bears scars from everything that has happened so far. However, in good news, this group is starting to realize exactly what this thing between them is and what that future can bring. There is just one person who doesn't believe he can be in that future. It's gonna take some time for Fox to realize exactly what he is willing to walk away from. Lots of revelations in this book as well as pieces from their past are brought to light. And lots are game changers. The ending on this one was crazy and I'm ready to finally head into the final book and get my happy endings!
