OMG this was so fun! I've never read a JA Huss that was so LIGHT before and it was great. It made me realize I really want to move reading Happily Ever After (Rook and Ronin) up on my list, because I imagine it's the same kind of story. I laughed so hard reading this, it was exactly what I needed on my way to work each day. The pigs were the best - at one point in Mr. Romantic's part where he was helping the girls catch their baby pig I was laughing so hard tears were streaming down my face. Seriously. So. Much. Fun.

And while Romantic's story line definitely was the most fun, it was not the only one. Everyone was fun. They had obstacles, but they weren't anything over the top. They were basic, everyone could overcome this obstacles. Which was an interesting change for a Huss book. It was so nice to see everyone together, really truly getting their HEA. And I love that there is potential for more books through Ethan and Five's daughter (I forget which one...).

Oh and the wedding! As I understood what happened with the dresses, I found myself tearing up a bit too, not in laughter but just how wonderfully sweet it was. Especially considering the character they had done it for. Vague enough that it's not spoiled, but you're curious ;) And I really enjoyed Mr. Perfect's story line, since watching everyone around you have kids while you just can't seem to have any is something I can relate to so well. I could sympathize with Elle easily and I also loved that while everyone was trying to tiptoe around her and baby stuff she showed that while you might be sad, you can also share in other's joy and still love watching their kids.

Overall it was a great read and a fantastic conclusion to the series (but I wouldn't mind a spin off ;) just sayin')!

Side note on the audio - it was cool having ALL the Mister's narrate and - for the most part - I really loved it. I kind of HATED Cindi's voice though. I don't remember what it was in their book, but she sounded like a raspy old woman to me or something. It took me a while to stop cringing every time she talked. But I got over it and just loved the story.

Mr. and Mrs. is the perfect ending to the Mister series, it was fun, a little mysterious and a lot romantic. I got to see my favorite Five in his element.

Story:

First of all, if you have not read the whole Mister series, plus Five, you should not continue reading this review, as there will be spoilers for prior books in here.

Mr. and Mrs. happened on Five's private island, and all the misters showed up for a group wedding. We got to know what Five and Rory have been up to since the ending of Five, and I loved seeing them happy with their four daughters. They were princesses in their own right, and I had so much fun reading about them, especially the two youngest ones who were always up to no good.

Little by little, the misters arrive on the island, and they all bring with them a new set of problems. Of course, Five is already neck-deep in his own problems as Rory and the twins have decided it's a good idea for the girls to be tested so they can go to school. In the real world.

Huss managed to bring some mystery into Mr. and Mrs. as well, and the whole story was just plain fun. As well as extremely fulfilling for those of us who have followed Five ever since he was born. The scenery on the island was beautiful, and all the past rivalry between the guys was still going on as well.

Characters:

Five. Enough said. Nah, not really. I love this character so much, almost as much as I love his father, Ford. He is still analysing everything, thinking out worst-case scenarios and ready to everything humanly possible to keep his family safe.

Rory has become a very strong and secure woman, and she wants to do what is best for her daughters. Even at the cost of upsetting Five.

Ollie is weirdly angry with Pax because of his relationship with Cindy. And that made for some hilarious moments as he did everything he could to keep Pax's hands off his little sister.

Mac and Ellie are trying to get pregnant with no success after ten months, and Ellie is really down about it. So much so that other characters won't even share their good news with her.

West and Tori have adopted a boy, and he's strangely mature for his age. Not acting like he even needs parents. All West wants to do is make sure his boy gets a real childhood.

Nolan and Ivy have a young daughter, and just her name alone made me smile - she's named Bronte. How can we not love that?

Pax and Cindy are the funniest of all the couples. They have this game they play where Pax is a detective. And Cindy disappears on him, and he has to find her to get his prize... *devil smiley*

Writing style :

First person point of view, present tense, with each of the Misters having their own chapters. This delighted me to no end, both because I enjoyed their separate books, and because Huss managed to bring their unique voices into the story so there was never any confusion.

Feels :

First of all, I was so happy to get this happily ever after story. I didn't love the very first Mister story, but as the series moved on, I got so involved in the overall story I just couldn't stop wanting more. With Mr. and Mrs. I did get more. And I got all the feels. Happiness, fright, hope, anger, hesitation, and all the love.



She's scared and I don't blame her. I'm scared too. I kept this secret from Oliver for fifteen years. And yeah, back then he was just a kid. But he's not a kid now. I think he's gonna kick my ass. I think I deserve to get my ass kicked.

We had to buy special baby headphones for the ride because the noise level is too much for a six-month-old. I got black ones. With little skulls on them. And while I was at it, I bought her a little flight jacket to match. It has the most badass patches on it.
