The Hardcore Series #8

A Shakeup Occurs

Rate this book
Who are we if not for family?
Blood is thicker than water.


In all things, Siri owns who she is, unashamedly. From facing down the paparazzi to telling Aurei’s madam her services are no longer needed, Siri stares down every gauntlet she faces fearlessly. But meeting his family…in particular, his parents…is entirely a whole other matter. Family is everything, and an Italian family is even more so.

What if they believe the rumors?
What if they don’t like her?
What if they don’t approve?

Will it matter to Aurei? It matters to Siri. Dissension, even the slightest degree, can cast a dangerous shadow over their budding relationship. Their union without the blessing of family can only lead to disaster.


“I am speechless with this book. What amazing writing. This story kept me reading until I finished it. So many emotions had me laughing one minute and crying the next. Such a powerful couple Aurei and Siri make. This is most definitely a must read. Kudos to Jessika Klide for your amazing writing.” - Goodreads review

“Just when I think the next book can’t get better, it does.” - Goodreads review

I love this series, reading all about Aurelius and Siri's romance.
Each book follows on from the last, but just gets better and better.

Sexy, Kindred spirits, Drama, and kareoke all wrapped up into another amazing book in this series.

Siri finally gets to meet the Italian clan meaning all of Aureis family including his parents and she feels excited and nervous all at once.
She is welcomed by all with open arms and despite her being worried about what they may have heard with the paparazzi she nails it with flying colours.
Aurei makes it clear with his actions and just the way he looks at Siri that she is “The One” for him, everyone is thrilled for him except Mia (who I would like to throat punch just a little) Lol
The kareoke scene was amazing! So many amazing songs I sang along with including Siri’s jaw dropping performance with a Whitney Houston signature song cemented the way she feels about Aurei and the feeling is mutual when Aurei grabs the mike for his finale! I LOVED this scene!! They absolutely NAILED IT!

The love they share is so strong and Mia is trying to destroy it

BANG BABY BANG!!! WOW!!! Jessika has outdone herself with this one. I couldn't put it down. This story is Hot! Hot! Hot! And believe me, Jessika knows how to write hot, steamy scenes. Siri and Aurei have such great chemistry together. He is her Golden God and she is his Wild Thang. Aurei brings Siri to Italy, to meet his family. Siri is unsure whether her past will come back to haunt her. While most of Aurei's family embraces Siri, there's one who is determined to separate them. In true Siri fashion, Angel Thang sings and dances her way into their hearts. Not to be outdone, Aurei's former lover and current VP, Mia takes the stage in what will be an epic karaoke battle. But who will win? Will Mia be able to convince Aurei that Siri isn't good enough for him? Or will true love prevail? The answer to these questions and Moore will be revealed, as well as few secrets Aurei's been keeping. Jessika is truly amazing. You're going to love this one. Go Baby Go...1-click this one now.

So we finally see more about Mia but the cousin thing was never brought up in this one. Yes, I’m still stuck on the fact that she is his cousin (3rd or not) and they had sex, even a few books later lol. She’s pretty crazy in her own right but the whole cousin thing really wasn’t mentioned again so I don’t get why she had to be his cousin (insert eye roll). I loved seeing her meet his family. She fit right even, and a few twists along the way. I will say this one had lots of potential to have that Big Bang moment that I’ve been searching for...... and then it never happened. Drama ensured and then bam, nothing. It left me feeling disappointed. I really don’t want to keep readying but I’ll willing to read The End and hope that it finally comes. I know I might be crazy to keep reading when they leave me unfulfilled, but I feel like I have to get to the end. I have to know how it ends for these two. I’m going to pray this last one rocks my world. 3 stars #2OCC Reviews

Fantastic Story!

Wow! Jessika keeps writing fantastic books in this series! They keep getting better! It was so hard for me to put down!
In this book Aurei takes Siri to Italy to meet his family. Siri is not sure his family will like her, but they do, well some almost all. Mia, his his VP, tries to break them up.
Siri dances and sings her way into their hearts. They had an amazing karaoke night! It felt like I was there!
Their love for each other is strong and they have amazing chemistry!
I Love this series!
I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Jessika Klide does it again!! Siri and Aurei have such a chemistry that their magnetism pulls the reader in and won’t let them go. In this installment Siri finally meets all of Aurei’s family and gets to experience Big Al’s grand celebration. Aurei continues to surprise Siri with gestures big and small. It’s a great story with action, astute insights by Siri, and steamy scenes that will have you reading this fast and furiously!!

This had loads of hot steamy scenes as we know this couple delivers and never disappoints,I Have never read a hotter couple. Siri finally meets the family and her nerves are on high alert but with Aurei by her side they relax and have fun and I loved the karaoke scene it was hot and so fun to see them doing this together. The writing is great and these two characters deliver everything we want in Siri and her Golden God.

Dirty, sexy and hot are what I think as I’m reading this series. Not to mention sexy, intriguing and addicting. The characters and story have really got me going and I’m so glad that I gave this series a chance. While it may have started off shaky for me, each story gets better and this one continues to prove how terrific of a storyteller the author is. Once you start, you will not be able to put down.

This is definitely a story that will keep you wanting more and more, the chemistry between them is so very hot and will make your panties combust.
When they go to his home to meet his family she wonders if her past will bite her in her ass.
But even Aurie has secrets and they just might be to much for Siri to take , throw in his ex Mia who wants him back.

Like I said so worth the read!!!

Angel Thang by Jessika Klide a four-star read that with melt you. This is one hot, hot read, Siri is finally in Italy meeting the clan and they get to see the love and fire between Siri and her man. The words will melt your page and there are some scenes in this story that will make you blush, but there are some that will melt even the coldest hearts. There is also a baddy to boo at as well.

A sexy love story. Siri is worried how Aurei's family will react with her when they find out who she is. Aurei has no worries as long as he has Siri. Mia is there causing trouble. (Just can't help disliking her!) Aurei has secrets he reveals to Siri. Will he continue to wow her? Another good book. Look forward to the conclusion!

Here we are at book 8 and we are finally learning things about Aurei… we have learned breadcrumbs until now and I feel like we still don’t know it all but, FINALLY we had some action and learned things.

There was finally good, interesting drama and then it just fizzled out. Which made me sad because that was probably the best part of the book. Aside from the karaoke scene.

So, here we are… book 8 and I feel like so far, these 8 books could make up two books in a series..

All the other annoying things from the previous 8 books STILL apply as well.

Onto book 9…

The chemistry between Aurei and Siri is off the charts in this book. They solidify their commitment to this relationship. Siri finally gets to meet his parents and she is both excited and nervous about it. She is afraid of being judged and knowing what the paparazzi has said about her, is scared his family won't approve. But she passes the family test and they approve of her. There is one character though, Mia who tries to cause trouble for them.

Oh Angel Thang

Jessika is amazing and this series just keeps getting better and better. Siri is finally going to meet Aurei’s family and he wants to put her in the spotlight. He wants to leave no room for debate that Siri is his woman and that she is not to be messed with. Of course not all of his family is going to approve,but Siri knows just how to handle them. But in the end the only two that matter are Angel Thang and her Golden God. I can’t wait for the next book to be released.
