Awe-inspiring series comes to an end....

The story of the Steel Brothers has come to an end. Helen Hardt delivers a passionate, breathtaking finale to her 9 book saga. These books have followed the Steel Brothers, Talon, Jonah and Ryan.

This review is difficult as I have personally invested myself with these brothers. Ryan and Ruby have many questions that they both seek together. There life together is on hold until they get the answers that have been looming over their entire relationship together.

This series gripped me from the first time I met Talon, and I fell in love with him immediately. The struggles he had to endure since he was a child to the man he has become. Jonah and Ryan steadfast and strong stood by their brother Talon while fighting with their own demons of past and present.

Helen Hardt does a 360 turn and brings everything back full circle. I am sad to be finished with this story, but it will always hold a place in my heart.

A saying that I can best describe how this story ends is "Karma has no menu, you get served what you deserve"

The perfect ending to a beautiful series. This book had it all....beautiful well written characters, a fabulous plot that had more twists and turns than a rollercoaster and so much emotion that at some points I was screaming at the book and others I was wiping away tears. This was a bittersweet ending as I love how Helen Hardt answered all of our questions at the same time I am sad to say goodbye to Joe, Talon and Ryan. 5 Stars are not enough.

I have enjoyed the series and all the twists and turns. Like the rest of the series, there was suspense, darkness, heat and passion but I partly feel that the conclusion was rushed. Everything was finalized but as some just seemed to be a bit of an after thought. it was just a quick mention when it was a rush. I also wanted to shake Marj towards the end, if you read you will understand why. Book ended at the 50% mark it's the first book of another series is included.

I am sorry to see the saga end. I loved all of the characters and how they came to life. I loved the up and down. I did not see one turn that came so that caught me by surprise. I really enjoyed these books and the opportunity to read the as an ARC reader.

I received an ARC of this book for an Honest Review. I have been following this series since the very beginning, and every time a new book comes out the excitement to get my hands on it just grows! Ryan has been my favorite from the very beginning and there is many reasons why, and each of his books just makes those reason grow! This book it hot, sexy, mysterious and did I say Hot?!? This book has the same against as all of the others, it has the level of reality in it that you come to expect from Helen Hardt. But this book just like the others are not for the faint of heart. If you don't like hot guys and gory details this may not be the book for you. If the only thing you want to feel is happiness, again not the book for you. But if you want a book that takes you on an emotional rollercoaster that takes you high and low...This if the book for you!

I fell in love with this series after the first chapter of Craving. I was somewhat shocked at how dark it really was even after reading the warning. Although I will admit that the topics and situations were handled so fantastically and tastefully that it wasn't as difficult as it could have been. That being said, specific to this finale, it left me wanting. I don't think that the story line was as "tied up" as Helen had hoped. There are remaining loose ends as far as I am concerned. I was glad to see a few of the situations wrapped as they were. The characters that exited the story will not be missed. But Ryan and Ruby deserved more than a couple of pages ending their story for us. Glossing over the next phase of Talon and Jade's journey was an opportunity lost and sorely missed. The biggest missing piece throughout the whole of Ryan's story is their lovely sister Marj. It was like she just stopped existing until it was required.... like "oh yeah there is another sibling who was affected by this craziness"! This book was enjoyed, not as much as the first 6 parts of the series, but it was enjoyed. I feel like, overall, the story really wasn't completed and needs better resolution. I didn't find myself as emotionally vested in Ryan throughout the story and maybe because of that I was always going to be a little disappointed with this ending. It just doesn't feel like an ending at all really. It feels like Helen wasn't finished but because of the business of it all said she had to be.... like she ended her story at gun point along with Ryan!

I was hooked from the very first book of the Steel Brothers series. I couldn't be happier with the way Helen ending the book. This series had so much drama, tragedy, suspense and romance all in one that you couldn't put the books down. I'm glad it ended with Ryan and Ruby. They were the characters that were most involved expect for Talon. You won't be disappointed in this book or series. I don't want to give to much to spoil it for other readers but this book bring out all the stops and answers. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. I have passed this on to my friends and they are loving this series. thank you for the ARC and I will post on my other sites.

I've waited a couple of days since I finished before writing this review so I could process it all and not give a knee jerk reaction. First, it's a good book. The series was great and Ms. Hardt has a lot of new followers that is well earned. But I wanted more. I wanted to not guess what happened, I wanted that wow factor. After all, there were 8 books leading up to this that had me expecting something just simply amazing and speechless. But it didn't happen. Again, good book- I just felt a little let down as to the whole conclusion and "big reveal". Will I read her future books? Yes. Will I recommend this author and series? Of course. I just wanted a little something more for such an anticipated ending to the series.

This book was so good. So much happened. I felt sorry for all of them. Ruby was going through alot with her dad and poor Talon. The story wrapped up all the mysteries quite nicely but it was sad that it was over. I received this book through NetGalley for an honest review. When the book is out, I'll add more so not to spoil it for anyone. I will say, this series dealt wit a hard subject, but was written very well.

OMG this book was amazing! Praise goes out to Helen Hardt for another great read.
This was book 9 in the Steel Brothers Series; and what a ride I’ve been on.
Ryan and Ruby are the stars in this book but all the other family members and characters you have loved and hated come back for their last appearance in this series...
If you have read the other 8 books; you will know that there are many hidden truths- Helen Hardt has captured every moment and unraveled it in this conclusion.
I was left crying, laughing, gripping my blanket with suspense and overall thoroughly enjoyed Unravelled!

What an amazing end to a wonderful series! I have to say the Steel Brothers Series has been one of my all time favorites. The twists and turns to this last book was incredible. A definite must read!!

I can't believe it's over. Nine books! I don't know that I'm ready for it to end.

I imagine it must be difficult with such an epic story to tie up every single loose end with all these couples and all the little mysteries. While I was kind of hoping for a bit from other perspectives, seeing as this was the grand finale, this was still amazing.

Their journey has been difficult, all of the Steels and the people that love them. It wasn't easy to read about some events. At one point, I had to step away, it was so upsetting! It does have a happy ending and some closure. I'd love an additional epilogue in the future. It's like these are real people in my life now, I want to make sure they are good (now I sound crazy).

Please don't start with this book, read them in order, they are not stand alones. Fantastic conclusion to an outstanding series!

Helen Hardt ties up all the loose ends in the much anticipated conclusion of the Steel Brothers Saga, Unraveled.

Ryan, Talon, and Joe have joined forces to find closure to Talon' s past. In doing so, they uncover many family secrets that affect all of them. So many painful memories from their childhood and young adulthood have surfaced and emotions are hard to control. In trying to comprehend what they are learning, they face heartache and loss before finding happiness.

Unraveled truly brings so many emotions to the reader. It is a roller coaster read for sure!

I finished this book with tears running down my face. I felt fear, sadness, uncertainty, and joy to name a few. I can honestly say I am sad to see it end, but I know I will read the series again and again. The Steel Brothers Saga ranks as one of my favorite series ever!

I received an arc from Netgalley. This book series has some dark emotional, physical, and sexual subjects. Ryan and Ruby are on a mission to discover what is behind the secrets Brad Steel is keeping.
This book was hard to put down and in fact the whole series was hard to put down. Not an easy read due to the subjects in the book but definitely one you want on your reading list.

I absolutely love how this book turned out. All of the loose ends were tied up. Although I would like to hear more about Marjorie.
