For my beautiful children, you love to hear the stories of how Mommy met your Daddy, Dad, Pop, and Papa. You love the funny stories about fighting that Daddy should never have told you or the stories about dancing that Papa teases me with or how Dad coaxed me into singing with him. Pop says your favorite stories are the ones that tell you we are human, that we love, and have loved, and will always love you.
I get that. Family means security and safety. It means having people in your corner always. It means companions on the journey to chase your dreams and helping them achieve theirs.
Hello seems like such a simple word, my darlings. But every hello that led me to your fathers is also the beginning of the happily ever after we’re building every day. You’re a part of it, Izzy, Josh, Charlie and our new arrival. You are the continuation of the story, our work in progress—our happily ever after.
Are you ready to hear what happens next? *Please note this is a reverse harem and the author suggests you always read the foreword in her books. Contains some mature situations, violence, and is recommended for 18+. This is a brand-new bonus novella that takes place post-series. The book will also include multiple shorts and additional chapters in the form of bonus content for the rest of the series in addition to that novella. This is all new unpublished material.
I love it when authors give readers follow-up stories of one of their beloved series so we readers can see what the characters are up to now after their happily ever after. This was the case in Hellos and Happily Ever Afters, where I got to read how Frankie and her husbands were doing and how many children they had now after reading the last book in the series.
It was great reading how Frankie, Coop, Jake, Ian, and Archie were doing and catching up with them because they are definitely like family to me after everything they went through in the series. Coop, Jake, Ian, and Archie are the perfect daddies to all the children, and they are hands-on when it comes to the kids and still taking care of their Frankie. Frankie is one lucky gal to have the guys, and reminding her to take it easy, especially when she’s pregnant again in the novella. Their family dynamic is still strong, and no one will ever come between them.
Not only did Heather give us readers a quick novella into Frankie and the boys happily ever after again, but she gave us extra content from the other books in the series. The deleted and additional scenes that readers craved to read, especially when it came to other POVs from those books. I loved getting to read Rachel’s POVs on certain scenes that happened because she was a beloved character, and I hope she soon gets her own book(s). She deserves a happily ever after, too.
Overall, this novella was a great addition to the Untouchable series, and once again, Heather gave me all the happy feelings of knowing my favorite family of characters got their well-deserved HEA. If you read the series, you would understand because Frankie and her husbands went through so much in the series that they deserved these happy times with one another and with their children, who keep them on their toes.
If you haven’t read the Untouchable series and love reading the Friends to Lovers and Found Family tropes, then you should check out this series. I do recommend having tissues on hand, though, because Heather will take you on a rollercoaster ride with this series.

My obsession with reading started over 30+ years ago when I went to my first Scholastic Book Fair and found R.L. Stine's Fear Street series. Later, I came across Anne Rice's novels at my public library when I was fourteen when my obsession with vampires started. I was the girl who preferred to be a vampire over a princess any day. My husband says I would leave him a heartbeat for a vampire that looked like Spike or Angel (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) or Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries. (It's true, though, and he's accepted it.)
