Vera Gallagher has been in love with Mateo Eden from the moment she saw him…but are the feelings returned? 

 

I’ll be totally honest—I never had strong feelings about Mateo in any of the earlier books, and when I learned who his FMC was I was even more skeptical, so I went in with basically no expectations. But…it turns out this is, without a doubt, my favorite book in the entire series. I absolutely loved it—Vera’s journey, Mateo’s….everything about Mateo, honestly, the single parenting and the pining and the nods to Anne and Harrison’s relationship and the found family and the true family and just ALL OF IT. I teared up so many times, especially in the final third or so. I will truly miss this family and this series so very much, but I’m so glad it was able to close out in such a perfect way. 

And finally, my Official Series Rating: SABLE PEAK > JUNIPER HILL > THE EDENS: A LEGACY (short story) > JASPER VALE > CRIMSON RIVER > INDIGO RIDGE > CHRISTMAS IN QUINCY (novella) > GARNET FLATS.

THIS. Is my favorite of the Eden Series and for some reason I thought it was going to be my least. I love Vera. I love Mateo. I LOVE THE EDENS.  This story had me not even caring about the spicy scenes. This story had me hooked and I loved how the theme and plot of this book was a continuation from another in the series.

I loved this series but am left a bit disappointed after this story. 

I feel the character development was very much Vera only and Mateo was missing so much. 

I’m glad they got their happily ever after though.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟/5

Everyone drew closer to him, like he was a magnet and they were metal. 

“Light follows him. It’s always sunny when he’s around.”

It felt like someone had slipped glasses on my face. And that someone had given me permission to see.

Then I held on to her. There wasn’t much else to say, not until I could puzzle it all out in my head, so I just held on to her. Tight enough that maybe the next time she thought about going it alone, she’d remember there was no need.

🏞️ First person dual POV; Part 1 is Vera only 
🏞️ Sixth & final in a series following the Edens; you need to read book 5 for the overarching storyline to make sense
🏞️ After the trauma of her past Vera is seeking a normal life, and a life changing love. But will Mateo ever see her? 
🏞️ Storyline spans years 
🏞️ Longtime unrequited crush
🏞️ Single dad
🏞️ Pilot 
🏞️ Secrets 
🏞️ Found family 
🏞️ Tension 🔥
🏞️ Nicknames
🏞️ Well established secondary characters; Winslow & Griffin (Book 1), Memphis & Knox (Book 2), Talia & Foster (Book 3), Eloise & Jasper (Book 4), Lyla & Vance (Book 5), Anne & Harrison (Short story 4.5), Alaina.
🏞️ MC growth; Traumatic past, trust, risking a relationship, self worth, career goals.
🏞️ 3 Epilogues! 

⚠️ Toxic relationships (past), injury/injury detail (moderate), pregnancy, violence/assault (off page), death (past), mental illness/alcoholism (secondary character, past), dementia (secondary character, briefly mentioned).
