Sedona and Jameson had a connection that was ingrained in them to their very souls and a heartbreakingly muddy history that tore them apart but Jameson was determined to not only be in his daughter’s life but also rekindle what he and Sedona once had.

It didn’t take long for Jameson to worm his way into my good graces but Sedona wasn’t as quick to forgive and I appreciated that about their road to a second chance, someone can say “I’m sorry” a million times but the proof of their remorse is in their actions. Jameson said all the right things and he backed them up every single day with his actions. His interactions with Palmer was the ultimate swoon worthy book boyfriend moment.

The pain that Jameson and Sedona carried individually and also the mutual pain they shared over their past really cut me deep it hurt my heart for them. This last book in The Baileys series was an exquisitely emotional journey of forgiveness, redemption and a love shared by two people that was so deep they figured out that together they could weather any storm.

Why is it that I really disliked Phoenix in every Bailey book but her own?

I started out thinking Jamison really was the bad guy. Although Sedona had a bad breakup, at least she had her entire family to help her out. Not saying it wasn't difficult emotionally, but she wasn't out there by herself trying to raise Palmer.

I did take issue with her never informing her family about how Jamison had stepped up to the plate. Not to condone his behavior, but he had some serious issues going on in his life. I completely understood why Sedona left.

When Jamison reentered the picture and his story started to come out, I couldn't help but feel for him. I was so glad that Sedona did not use Palmer and keep her away from Jamison.
I was also glad that we got to walk through each step as Jamison attempted to redeem himself, admitting his mistakes and struggles along the way.

What I didn't understand is why Phoenix disliked Jamison so much. She disliked him from high school, before he had even met Sedona. If it was mentioned in the book about why her animosity for him started so early, I missed it. Her attitude really stole some of the enjoyment of Jamison and Sedona's second chance for me. In this one I got none of her kindness and vulnerability that was shown in her own book.

I thought Jamison and Sedona rediscovering one another was emotional, sweet, and a bit painful. I also loved Jamie's interaction with Palmer.

I listened to the audiobook on Hoopla, and I would rate this book 3.5 stars.

Ich habe die Serie geliebt und bin traurig dass sie zu Ende ist. Aber ich habe das Gefühl, dass es bald mit der Green Serie weiter geht

This book was very bitter sweet for me. Piper Rayne has been teasing Sedona and Jamison's book since the beginning so I have been dying for their story, but at the same time all of the Bailey's have now met their partners and the series is done. I read this book in one sitting because I loved this story. I was once again sucked into this fun and quirky world that I never want to leave. The relationship between Sedona and Jamison had its ups and downs, but I was rooting for them the entire time. I loved seeing flashbacks from their history, even when they weren't the happy parts. This book is a must read and I'm looking forward to the new beginning teased in this book.

The last of the Bailey books and it is truly bittersweet. This series was just that amazing and I’m saddened to see it end!
I’ve loved every single book in the series. Every one was a five star read. The journey Piper Rayne took me on as I watched the Bailey siblings fall in love and find themselves was nothing short of incredible.
Sedona and Jamison had that first and forever love. But, before they could find their forever, they had a fight ahead. Piper Rayne seemed to have saved the more emotional stories for last because this one hit me in all the feels. Palmer was a show stealer without evening trying. She was such a darling. I loved seeing all the baby Baileys. Grandma Dori didn’t disappoint as the shenanigan ringleader and kept me laughing out loud. We also got the biggest surprise as the hidden identity of the Buzz Wheel writer is finally revealed and whoa talk about jaw dropping. This family has buried themselves forever into my heart and I do not want to say goodbye. Here’s to hoping all the baby Baileys have stories in the future!

We have reached the end of the Bailey road and while I am happy to have answers to all of my questions, I am so sad it is over! I have loved this series so much, and while I know there is a novella coming and they will be featured in the new series, I will miss novels focused on the Baileys!

The ninth and final Bailey book gives us Sedona’s story. Sedona is the Bailey we have seen the least due to her living in New York for many years. We saw her come home to Lake Starlight in Juno’s story. In Kingston’s story, we got to know her better and watch her become a mom. In her own story, we finally find out what happened between her and Jamieson.

Full disclosure, I was prepared to hate Jamieson. I really was. Piper and Rayne had other ideas. I was mad at him, sure, but I also felt for him. He overcame so much and I felt he was so genuine in trying to win Sedona and Palmer.

I don’t want to spoil anything so I will leave you with a few thoughts. 1) This was a wonderful way to end the series, but I am hoping there is some sort of novella that ties everything up. 2) I totally called who was running Buzzwheel. 3) The Baileys are my favorite fictional family and I will miss reading 4 books a year about them!

This was a definite five star and I whole-heartedly recommend this book and series!

The wait is over! The last of the Bailey‘s siblings has gotten her HEA.

Since book one I‘ve always loved Sedona and Jameson together. A high school romance built for forever. But life happens and htey are torn apart throughout the siblings books. Their very recent breakup which resulted from Jamesons addiction has already been shown in the previous book. I loved how this book start exactly when the last book ends.

Sedona has been struggeling. She‘s pregnant again when Jameson finally get‘s his act together and wants a second chance with Sedona and his daughter. But he has to work hard for it, because the Bailey‘s aren‘t as forgiving as you‘d think.

I really loved this final book for the bailey‘s. Even though I figured out all the secrets beforehand it was still a great story and a perfect ending for Sedona.
I‘m really sad to let them go, but I‘m also very excited for the new Family series that we already got a glimpse of in this book.

5⭐️

Why must we say goodbye to the Bailey’s?!! By far THE BEST family series and series EVER! I don’t want to say goodbye to them.

I have to say I was so happy to have Sedona’s book last. Her story with Jamison was always so appealing with all the little bits you got in the other books. Then that epilogue in Kingston’s book, umm yesss please!! There has always been something about Sedona that I just loved. Like I said she wasn’t around a whole lot in the other books but those little bits we got of her, I knew she was gonna be a favorite.

Then we throw Jamison into the picture and boyyyyy let me tell ya. The little flashbacks we get with how they met in high school then their time in New York. I seriously loved them. Then tragedy it all goes down in flames. I broke when it all went down and didn’t like Jamison. But he definitely makes up for it. I mean that first time he sees and holds Palmer, swoon
