Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

4.5 \u201cI do, babe\u201d<\/i> stars<\/b><\/p>\n

Fans of the Hades Hangmen<\/i> will love this novella! The time has finally come to celebrate the wedding of club Prez Styx, and his Mae (from It Ain’t Me, Babe<\/a>), and it was everything that I was hoping for!<\/p>\n

True to the series, there is nothing sugar-coated about the MC world. The language, the lifestyle and the feel of the story is very much in keeping with the characters and the other books, and I love that Tillie Cole puts us straight back into the world of the Hangmen.<\/p>\n

But this is a love story, and the love between Styx and Mae is beautifully explored once again as they prepare for their wedding day. But while they are both counting down the days, Styx is struggling with his inability to speak his vows out loud. He is known as \u2018The Hangmen Mute\u2019, but for once in his life he wants to say the words, and his battle to do so is heartachingly beautiful.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Mae is revelling in the life that she now has with the love of her life and her sisters by her side, and I loved the moments that allowed us to catch up with the couples from previous books.<\/p>\n

And make sure you read this novella in series order as it takes place during and after the events of book #5, Damnable Grace, and contains spoilers for that book.<\/p>\n

This is a gorgeously sweet (but still gritty\u2026 and smutty) bonus for fans of the series. I\u2019m so glad we got to see this very special moment from the POVs of the characters that started it all. Even in such a short read, Cole captures their intense connection and their deep love for each other, and I felt every moment of this book along with them.<\/p>\n

I loved it \u2013 4.5 stars.<\/p>\n
