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.

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).
