Blow Hole Boys #4
Having Hope
No one’s promised tomorrow. And Chet Rhodes, the drummer of Blow Hole, is all about living for today. Sex, drugs, and rock and roll—anything to help him forget his deadly secret and keep him detached. But when he meets Hope, a bitchy brunette with sarcastic wit and a deadly right hook, his carefully constructed defenses break down. For the first time ever, he wants more than a one night stand. But one night might be all he has left.
Hope Iverson holds a secret that could potentially destroy everything she's built. Hardened with a short fuse, her past has left her emotionally unavailable. That is, until she meets the charismatic drummer for Blow Hole. His smart mouth has the ability to make her smile, and his inked body makes her feel things she’d rather not.
But scars leave you changed, and Hope isn’t sure there’s enough of herself left to give.
In the end, promises will be broken. Lives will be destroyed. And Hope must decide what's most important to her—secrets, love, or life.

Loved Hope and Chet, but the storyline weaves many of the same themes present in the other books in this series. Enjoyable if you like romances based around rock stars with a big dose of angst. Enjoy.

5 Little bird stars
Chet:
I'd never felt this way before, but my Blackbird had somehow chained me to her during our night together, and the thought of being a one woman man for a bit didn't scare the shit out of me.
A night Chet won't forget, 5 years ago he met the woman who could change everything and in the morning she was gone but he couldn't remember what she looked like, except for a Blackbird tattoo.
The manwhore returning with a vengeance.
Hope was a drummer with the Room Sirens and had toured and was going on tour again with The Blow Hole Boys.
A love hate relationship had formed between Hope and Chet and Chet professed Hopes anger turned him on it made Hope All the more angry thus adding humour to the mix.
Hope:
The blow hole boys meant a ton to us.
Minus Chet.
Of course
He could go suck on a sweaty sack as far as I was concerned.
Hope had secrets, Chet had secrets. told in dual pov's, the whole read was intense and unpredictable, Tabatha Vargo did good it was brilliant a mixture of emotions throughout and all brilliantly balanced.
I have laughed along with this plot, had a teary eyed moment and loved every minute of it.
The heartfelt moments were intense as well as the sex

Chet was the most interesting of the guys from the band. He lived his life full on. Women, booze and drugs were an everyday thing. He was living his life without regrets because he wasn't sure when the end would come. Five years ago he met the one woman who could have made him change how he lived, but when he woke up she was gone. He had no recollection of her name or face. All he remembered was a blackbird tattoo.
Hope lived a lie or at least to her band members she did. They thought she was having sex with any random person, which she has led them to believe. Since 5 yrs. ago she hasn't slept with anyone else. What breaks her is the fact that when she runs into him again he doesn't remember her. She was broken by the past and she can't allow her self to be drawn back into Chets world.
I figured out what Chets issue way before it was revealed. I really felt his pain and was rooting for him to do whatever was necessary to fight for his future.
It would have been nice if the author would have put an extra epilogue at the end of this series letting us know where each couple was at 5/10 years down the road.

1/5 ⭐️
Unfortunately I didn’t enjoyed at all this one.
Tabatha Vargo uses the dual pov a lot, which is something I don’t always enjoy, because the parts that are supposed to be of the guy never sound guyly to me, like it’s a girl talking but with a lot of bad mouthing. And because it was the last book of the series I was expecting something big and different, but it was the same vibe of “not like other girls” and the cliche womanizer rock and roll player.
I didn’t clicked with Hope, I found her reason to hate Chet so lame at the beginning, like one night stand and him not remembering you it’s not a reason to hate him, specially if you knew he was hella drunk. But then we know the real reason and i kinda get it but that just wasn’t enough for me. I needed this one to be different.
The thing that surprised me was Chet’s medical condition, but even the epiloge was something I expected to happend. I just feel this wasn’t the author’s best work.
I don’t recommend it that much but if you want to read the whole series you should read this just to know what happends with the other members of the band. This is a goodbye for now Blow Hole Boys, I’m gonna miss you.

I really enjoyed the first 3 books in this series but "Having Hope", not so much. It wasn't the writing or the storyline but Hope's character that I disliked. She's the kind of character who makes bad choices that she knows she'll regret. Once the repercussions of those choices affect her she blames others instead of taking ownership. Not only does she take her frustration out on others but she never even tells them why she's punishing them! I can see making a mistake, getting angry and then maybe talking it out but Hope had a different agenda. Hers was to make a mistake, let it eat away at her for years until she's bitter, but still never talk about it. Chet was kind of annoying as well. He's got a secret that he refuses to talk about. He's made a decision about that secret that made absolutely no sense to me. I think if Chet and Hope had been more mature I would have enjoyed this book a lot more.

Having Hope was the final full length novel in the Blow Hole Boys series by Tabatha Vargo. I'm absolutely in love with this series. The storyline was spot on and the twists and turns were fantastic. The characters were well thought out and the chemistry was off the charts. This series was one of the best that I have read in a while and I would highly recommend it!!!

Si empiezas a leer la serie completa es inevitable tener deseos de leer este, Chet es uno de los mejores protagonistas, un libro increíble

"I wanted her over and over again. It wasn’t like the other girls. She wasn’t like the other girls. She was unique … my little Blackbird."
"I couldn’t remember her name.
I couldn’t remember her face.
But I wanted her.
And if it was the last thing I did, I’d find her and make her mine again."
"“What about what I want?”he asked, surprising me. He sat beside me and grabbed my hand, squeezing it with his larger one. “I know I’ve been back and forth lately, but I swear I have my reasons, Hope. Don’t take this baby away from me. Please.”I didn’t know he was capable of the emotion that broke his voice."
"And when I woke and saw Hope at my side, I knew she was my reason. She’d always be my reason until Death finally succeeded and I was no more."
No puedo creer que esta saga acabara.
Estuve como 5 años leyendola pero no importa, siento que no fue el tiempo suficiente.
En definitiva creo que es una de mis nuevas series favoritas.
Y CHET, yo se que puedo ser pesada al decir esto por que es lo que he dicho de literalmente de todos los hombres de esta saga PERO QUEDE COMPLETAMENTE ENAMORADA y nunca lo voy a olvidar.
Y la verdad estoy super triste de que se haya acabado, esta saga me acompaño por mucho y espero que siempre lo haga en mi corazon.

Cuarta entrega de esta saga y cuarto libro que me gusto de esta saga.
Me encanto la relación de Hope y Chet, debo de decir que se me hizo muy cómico el cómo Hope odiaba y demostraba a Chet que él a ella no le caía bien, sin decirle el porque y es que la verdad yo también suelo ser así de enojarme o odiar a alguien sin el decir él por qué.
Comprendo que la saga va sobre la vida de los chicos de la banda, pero veo los mismos clichés en cada libro de la saga, y el tema de las adicciones que al principio se toma bastante a la ligera y se soluciona por que conoció al amor de su vida, no me convence mucho.
Pero si eres una persona que le gustan los romances de bandas y un poco conflictivos (porque eso si tiene la saga es que anuqué va de romance no es muy toxica o conflictiva la relación de los protagonistas).

Este libro me sorprendió....no pensé que me gustaría
Tanto y que me emocionaria con el .
Es un libro que tiene escenas con mucho HEA, sintiéndose esos momentos muy intensos y llenos de sentimientos entre ellos.
Su vida fue difícil...
Su relación aún más...
Son dos almas rotas que se vuelven a encontrar.
Pasan tantas cosas entre ellos, cosas de su pasado difíciles y en su presente.
Pero saben dejar todo de lado y luchas por ellos...
Es un gran viaje de descubrimiento del amor.
Es un libro romántico y una linda historia de amor.
Fue muy entretenido y emocionante de leer.
Me gustaría leer la historia de las otras chicas de la banda de hope.
Son muy simpáticas y agradables.
Todos son una gran familia.

Chet and Hope's story is a nice ending to this series. Another installment with a shit storm of shitty circumstances for these characters. Didn't expect the seriousness with Chet but it brought a level of maturity to this play boy. Nice ending for the series. Now, what about the rest of the girls?????

Llega el turno de Chet y Hope, ellos tuvieron un primer encuentro pero Chet no sabe que esa mágica noche fue con Hope. Cinco años después vuelven a encontrarse y por mucho que Hope lo evite y Chet no la recuerde, el amor y la pasión harán que se junten.
Último libro de esta maravillosa serie que me ha encantado de principio a fin.

Predictable but good
A little too drawn our for me. The foreshadowing was there from the beginning and the truth kept being held back. Somewhat predictable story, but it was good. Another happily ever after.

Good end to the series.
Dual POV. Good amount of steamy scenes. I felt like the epilogue could have provided more information but overall the book was really good. No abuse or triggers.

Otra vez, el libro tiene muchísimas cosas que han dejado inconclusas. Pero admito que me encantó, la evolución de Hope. Lo que sufrió y por lo que está pasando Chet me mató. Los amo. Pero ahora que he leído a todos los chicos, mi favorito es Finn, sin duda. Y luego Chet♥️

I really liked this book , it didn’t jump time ( like the other books did , not that I minded that but time wasn’t missing ) I like how the relationship flowed and developed, the story line like all of the Blow Hole series has some pretty heavy triggers but it wasn’t rushed or anything ..

Chet and Nope
This was a fantastic series and Chet's story had the most drama. I was so looking forward to reading about the sex crazed, drugged out drummer from blow hole, Chet. To see what sort of woman would be able to tame him. Hope was the perfect match for him. The epilogue was great and Aiden made me laugh with his little antics.
