medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? It's complicated

FAMOUS LAST WORDS is currently a standalone but I have a feeling we will be seeing more of Brahms and his brothers in future books, whether or not they get their own series remains to be seen.
This story is an emotional roller coaster and at times I wasn't happy with the ride but then something would happen to make me enjoy it again. I fluctuated with my rating of this book several times, just like the roller coaster ride.
At first I had a hard time connecting with Seraphina, I found her quite annoying at times. She would be blinded by certain things and not let the person she claims to love explain his side of anything, who does that? She did have some redeeming qualities and overall she did win me over...a little bit at least.
Brahms, I liked him instantly and I knew there was MUCH more to the story than what was being said. He lost so much and had a hard time dealing with everything so he turned to vices that dragged him down the rabbit hole and he found himself in trouble more than once. Thankfully his brothers were there to help him out when needed.
Both families had issues, but Sarafina's wins the award for the most F#cked up. YIKES! Her father was the worst and I don't say that lightly either.
I loved the third quarter of this book and was really happy with the way things played out. I wish it hadn't taken them so long to work things out but I understand why things had to play out the way they did. As I mentioned earlier I really liked Brahms brothers and I am looking forward to seeing them pop up at some point in the future.
I listened to the audiobook version of this book and really enjoyed the way Jason Clarke and Stella Hunter brought this story to life with the duel narration.
I would recommend this book to readers that enjoy Steamy Contemporary Romances, New Adult Romances, Second Chance at Love Romances, Rockstar Romances, Enemies to Lovers Romances, Billionaire Romances, Forced Proximity Romances, or Secret Baby Romances.
Happy Reading!!!

If you’re looking for a heavy, emotional ride this one’s for you! As aggravating and frustrating as it was at points, it’s so realistic. It’s what we all do so often for those we love. Similar to what we usually learn in real life these characters learn that sometimes it’s necessary, but most of the time it’s the wrong decision and so much time is lost. I was happy this one ended the way it did, because at the end of the day all of these characters wanted the same thing.
