Not as great as the previous two books in the series, although I did enjoy the dynamic between our two protagonists, childhood friends Stella and Bear, and Bear finally coming to recognize his own worth and skills without being diminished by Stella's (or by his own class-based inferiority complex).

I adored Bear and Stella's story so much. It was definitely the best book in this series. I think because it was a tease the whole time in the other books.
I read this on audio and the male narrator's voice was horrible!
If you like a feel good, heart warming, fun romance, this series is for you. If you like skiing or snowboarding, these are definitely for you! I definitely recommend this series as a whole!

While I enjoyed the main characters (especially Bear), I think that they spent too much of the book apart. I wanted to SEE their relationship develop more. So much of their time is antagonistic and spent avoiding each other.
Despite the lack of "togetherness" I fell hard for Bear. He struggles so much with trying to be there for everyone, all while figuring out his dreams and next path in life. He's a truly intriguing character and I was fascinated by him.

"There was only Stella."
This was a nice way to wrap up the series but it definitely wasn't the strongest of the three. Bear and Stella have been tiptoeing around each other and their feelings for years and when they finally connect... it happens the night before the worst morning of their friend/brother's life. This was a frustrating listen as a lot of the issues between these two could have been solved if they just spoke to one another. And also because the timeline intertwined with the previous books, it felt like things were skipped over for the sake of keeping the same timeline. It was a lovely story (even with the unrealistic epilogue).
3.5 stars (rounded up to 4)

I love Sarina Bowen, so I was disappointed in this book. The plot is dull, the pacing is off and there was too much rehashing of Hank's story. Not a book I'd want to re-read.
