Oh gosh. All the feels. This one is tough because even with a happy ending you know that there are hard years ahead for this couple and their family. But what a beautiful and heartbreaking love story.
I have already read about 20 pages of Knight’s book (their oldest son) so I have some idea of what’s going on down the road but decided to read these books before continuing. But still I’m dreading what might happen for Rosie and Dean in the later years. They’re so beautiful and sweet together but I’m sad for how their life will be. Still, it’s such a precious thing that Dean still loves her and still wants a life with her even knowing how hard things will get, even if the years might be cut too short. :(
Their relationship was definitely a roller coaster with lots of baggage to deal with on both sides but it was so worth it in the end. I gotta say I was pretty mad at Dean for what happened with Rosie near the end. It was an accident, but so irresponsible and inconsiderate. He earned his forgiveness but still left a bad taste in my mouth about the whole thing.
This author is excellent at strong character building and relationship building. She has yet to write a character I haven’t loved when all is said and done.
Overall another great story from this author. She’s proving to consistently write great dark, broody, angsty, and undoubtedly passionate love stories.
And man do I LOVE the HotHoles. They’re such a great group of guys who might outwardly seem like assholes, but inwardly they have so much heart, soul, and loyalty to each other and their families. Love them so much!
A little hesitantly forward to Trent’s book. Not sure I love the major age gap, but ultimately I’m sure it’ll be great and then I can finally read Knight’s book. :)

Dean and Rosie's story blew me away! I definitely loved the twist and turns, I felt like I was in the turmoil of a tornado. It made me scream, laugh and had my heart twisted in more ways than one. So many painful moments yet an overall beautiful story. After so many years they finally get their chance and what a ride it was to get these two together. Bravo 5 stars!
I absolutely loved this book! An emotional roller coaster that I’d love to experience for the first time again.
I've read all of the Hotholes series now, and while there are some similarities, I like how each book has offered something different. I really loved that Rosie was ill and that the HEA wasn't guaranteed, it added a tension that the other novels didn't have.
The biggest draw back to this novel was Dean, I did enjoy his personal story, and how he came to care for Rosie but he was a bit too much of an asshole for me to love completely. Sure, he wasn't as bad as vicious, but he had his fair share of asshole incidents which, for me, undermined the relationship between him and Rosie and just left me wanting a bit more.
