Ratings and reviews

Sad to see this series end. Troublemaker is the fifth and sadly the final book in the ‘Rascals’ series by Katie McCoy and as I said in my review for book 4, (Soulmate) she kept the best for last. I always knew Dante and Hayley’s story would be fantastic and I wasn’t disappointed/ We’re had little tidbits and tasters from both of them in the previous 4 books, Dante is afterall, best friends with the other guys and a part owner of the bar. Hayley is Emerson’s younger sister and for that reason alone, Dante has tried to keep his distance. He’s been cold and distant, arrogant and callous with her feelings for a long time and in this book we finally find out why. Hayley always knew Dante was hot, but after getting to spend some proper alone time with him, she found there was more to this ‘bad boy’ than she realized. She also discovered she had feelings she’d been denying for a long time too. I always knew there was a deeper side to him but it was Hayley’s more pragmatic and enterprisings side that was the real revelation. She’s a hard worker, even if it’s not in paid employment. Her endeavours help a lot of people. She was sweet and kind, but with Dante she found a whole new side and it brought the best out in her. She helped Dante to find his inner sensitive guy, the one he’s been hiding for years. Dante has a troubled past, and is wary of getting too close to Hayley and breaking the no.1 rule of the ‘bro-code’, plus he comes from the wrong side of the tracks, all things which make him feel undeserving of such a sweet, giving soul like Hayley. But, now that’s she’s found her man, Hayley isn’t ready to give up so easily and wants to tell the world and her brother just exactly how happy they are together. Try as he might, the off the chart chemistry they share is hard to fight. These two were a volcanic match and each scene burned with their attraction. I loved the sassy banter and the wicked times they shared. Seeing these two get their HEA was the best ending to this brilliant series. Hope we get to catch up with all five couples again in the future.

Troublemaker was the perfect opposites attract love story, and by far, my favorite of the entire series! Since first meeting Dante in Rascal, we’ve known little to none about him except how secretive and mysterious he is. His rugged and masculine sex appeal has been tantalizing readers since book one, and we’re finally given his story and what really lurks behind his stoic façade. Hayley we’ve also known since book one. We’ve known her as Emerson’s little sister. Feisty, compassionate, with a quirky sense of humor, Hayley is the completely lovable and energetic best friend everyone wished they had. Dante and Hayley’s relationship is very different compared to the relationships of the characters in the previous books. Having been in each other’s lives for years, their interactions with one another have built an atmosphere of sexual tension and conflicting emotions and actions. Their undeniable attraction towards each other forces them both to realize that the harder they resist their chemistry, the harder the possibility of falling in love. But where one is willing to risk it all for love, the other can’t accept that they will ever deserve that same love in return. I’m incredibly sad this series has come to an end, but I’m super excited for what’s to come from the author. Her stories are fantastically written, with equal parts humor and heart. I’ve been a forever fan since reading Royal Player and have loved every book that has come since then. Can’t wait for more! 5 Stars!

Dante was absolutely perfect! I could not believe the Rascals series are over. I felt like we just started! Even though you can read each book as as stand alone, you definitely want to meet the rest of the guys. Your heart will swoon over each one. Dante was our quiet and mysterious hero of the story. Haley seemed to much of a socialite and I was not sure if I was going to like her. As the story went on and the pages were turned ( or swiped in my case ), I fell for these two hard! You never knew what these two had going on until now! Troublemaker ending has you dreaming ahead. I loved all the books, but I truly believe Troublemaker was the best!
