UNLEASHED by Scott Hildreth5 Mistress of the courtroom, Master of the bedroom, and bond of brother's and sister's (tm)'s!Let me start by saying, if you havenft read the first two novels of this series, Undefeated and Unstoppable,stop what you are doing.  Read the synopsis from the author for each of these books.  And decide.  Decide if you want to read a series that will show you the lives of men.  Real men.  And women.  Who actually care about one another and are dedicated to helping those who may not be able to help themselves.  This entire series reflects different shades of this dedication.  The characters in these novels portray realistic people, who could be your best friend, brother or sister.Unleashed is an extension of Ripp and Veefs story from Unstoppable.  The opening sets the pace for the entire novel.  Itfs dramatic. Thrilling.  Symbolic.  This quote from Vivian "Vee" Simon, the kickass and take names heroine, shows you where you are headed."I feel like you just gave me the freedom tocI just feel like I've been...Unleashed."Uh huh.  And Unleashed she becomes.  Vee. This female lead is like none other youfve come across.  Attorney badass!  Shefs smart as a whip and does not stand down.  She stands up.  And in case you missed this, she is standing up for the alpha of all alphas.  The courtroom scenes and beyond, this woman tears serious ass!  And the protector becomes the protected.  Ripp.  Love this turn of events!  Same Ripp. Somehow not?  What do I continue to love about him?  His dedication.  To the woman he loves.  His family.  His friends.  And.  His BELIEFS. He never wavers.  This. Man. Has. Your. Back. And now, everyone has his. One thing is for sure, Mike "Ripp" Ripton is ruined for Vivian "Vee" Simon!HOLY STEAMING, WADDED UP PANTIES!  If you are looking for real and honest sexual encounters, ummm yeah.  Itfs definitely a departure from Unstoppable in that Ripp and Vee are finding their way to each other and pushing each otherfs boundaries.  They are human. There is emotion involved.  Love.  Passion.  Fun!  The fact they actually PLAY together is what makes this couple so enviable!If you HAVE read the previous novels in this series, all of your favorite characters are in full force in this installment. Including Shane and Kace, and a bigger peek at A-Train and Austin.  The friendship and camaraderie continues with car tipping and girlfriends shopping and quite a few great big WOWfs in this one!!!  Point is, this third book is RICH.  I could not pick one scene from this book that is a favorite, there are too many.  Vee and her presence in the courtroom scenes are brilliantly unfolded.  Ripp is completely believable and adorable in a drunken state!  Kace and Vee, so cute.  Katie is the true lil sis.  Austin, holy wow.  Shane is Shane, quiet and commanding throughout.  And A-Train.  GAH!  What woman would not want a man that possesses his qualities?  Want to know what scenes Ifm talking about?  You have to read it.Unleashed shows you the bonds of friendship and love.  Itfs honest, intelligent, intense, sexy and playful.  The last chapter and the epilogue.  I do now, and will forever, believe and know.  That a man, can and does write books for women.  About women.  And understands the male and female mind and emotions. That man just wrote his 10th heartfelt, character rich novel.  You just read my review of said novel.
