It’s a tough choice but this might be my favorite Hayden family book. I loved Jessie and she was even better than I expected her to be. I loved the chapters that we got a POV from other characters, that really helped explain the story. Those few chapters in the end had me SOBBING. This was such a great, although heart shattering, end to this family story. I absolutely loved it.

This is an incredibly good book! I’ve read each of the books in this series and each of them have been amazing, different and compelling storylines and dealing with some serious emotional issues. Each one has endeared the Hayden family more and more, but this 4th book was just wow!
This book packs on hell of an emotional punch. The family dynamics are so realistic and compelling without unnecessary angst. There is definitely drama and angst, along with some heartbreaking moments. The overall series is full of the Hayden creed - love, loyalty and honor and each character in the Hayden family lives it and expects it of their significant other.
I thoroughly enjoyed this series and am a little heartbroken that it’s over. I’ve become a fan of Jennifer Millikin while reading this fantastic series and look for ward to reading my of her books.
I received an ARC from Hidden Gems and the author, and I am voluntarily leaving a review.

Best book of the series!!! I don’t have words to describe how much I love Jessie & Sawyer together. The obstacles and secrets from their past that they have to overcome would have broken most couples, but their strength and love are stronger.

Oh my gosh! This book has me feeling so many different emotions. Happiness because Jessie and Sawyer are able to work through everything and get their HEA. Anger because there are some things that happened that didn't have to, that messes up relationships in the present. Sadness, oh so much sadness. My kids actually asked me if I was okay while I was reading the end of this book. I won't get into what that's about, because I don't want to ruin anything. I loved that Jessie came into her own, even if it did take some fighting and scratching to make her family see that she wasn't a little girl anymore. The part with her and the hunters was awesome! Jessie is a bada$$, and I loved that Sawyer saw her for exactly who she was and didn't try to change her. The cameos from the brothers were welcome because I like getting updates on their families as well. I'm really sad to see this series come to and end, but it was a hell of a ride!

The final book in this sibling series is very reminiscent of the first. No real evidence or explanation that the two main characters are a good fit for each other besides them just sensing it.
This is an age-gap romance to its detriment. Anytime that is mentioned or brought up, I just found that it highlighted how immature Jessie still is and how much more she still has to learn. Sawyer is a widower still dealing with the grief of losing his wife, and I wish Jessie wasn’t just treated as a solution to his grief because he was attracted to her.
The best part of this book is the B plot with Dakota and Wes’s son Colt.
Unfortunately, this entire series falls into the trap of everyone getting a married and having babies extremely fast.If all your going to say about the previous books couple is that they are expecting, I wish the author would just leave them be.<\spoiler>
