Hudson (Fixed, #4) by Laurelin Paige

Hudson (Laurelin Paige)

SUMMARY

"I can easily divide my life into two parts—before her and after."

Hudson Pierce has led a life few others could even imagine. With money and power at his fingertips, he's wanted for almost nothing. He's never experienced love, however, and he's seen few examples of it in his dysfunctional family. The ridiculous notion of romance has always intrigued him. He's studied it, controlled it, manipulated it, and has yet to understand it.

Until he meets Alayna Withers.

Now, the games he's played in his quest for comprehension can finally come to an end. Or are they just beginning?

Told from his point of view, Hudson fills the holes in his love story with Alayna Withers. His past and relationship with his long-time friend Celia is further revealed and light is shed on his actions during his courtship with Alayna.

MUST BE READ AFTER THE FIXED TRILOGY.

MY REVIEW

Hudson' POV and it will not make much sense unless you have read the previous three books in the Fixed trilogy.
If you have read them, you already know that for the majority of the story Hundson was playing Alayna. And in the end he was very very very very very sorry about it.

"I can easily divide my life into two parts—before her and after."

Hudson had to go through major changes and regrets in order to stop being a manipulated, cruel player.
You will understand him better in this book.

Moreover, you already know that Celia is a psycho bitch. And she used to be the perfect "team player" for Hudson and their "psychological experiments". You will learn more about her character in this book, too.

Thankfully Alayna was so much stronger than these two thought she was. And in the end she won for both her and Hudson.

“I begin and end with her. It’s as simple and as profound as that. Our worlds have entwined and wrapped around each other’s completely. They’ve shaped into something new and fixed and whole. There is no longer her story or mine, but now and always, only ours.” 

Highly recommended for all the series' fans. It does not add anything to the main story, but you will see how it unfolds from a different perspective.
