Tw: alcoholism

This was a good end to the trilogy. It was interesting to see how the sensitive nature of alcoholism was felt with. There were good side characters and the small town feel was decent. 

Over all I was just glad that the series wasn’t longer. Any more and it would have felt too drawn out.

The rival home buyer gave a foreshadowing snippet into the next series.

It made me laugh that in this day and age we have to have the standard set to billionaire romance in order to have people afford what a millionaire romance was just a few years ago. Just a funny observation

lilliarna's review against another edition

I loved Cal in the previous books. But his entire character has changed. I understand alcoholism is such a tough thing to write about but what this character needs is to not fall on love and get professional help. Lana is such a strong character and she doesn’t deserve to be brought down by a man that CONTINUOUSLY drags her down. She continuously sets boundaries that Cal goes against and I can’t stand it. She deserved better #JusticeForLana

Happy to finish this series. It was fun and what an experience to read this series. Honestly, the plot is not that bad, really spiced up my romance taste lol. Callahan story was more faster than his brothers ngl. Maybe bc he and Lana already know each other before. But it was fun. It is a struggle to see how Cal struggles because of himself.

I absolutely loved this book. I loved Cal and Alana's journey back to each other. 

I enjoyed the fact that Alana made Cal work for it when it came to getting her back. A lot of books would have the characters getting back together in the first few chapters, but they didn't in this book, and it worked out really well that they didn't.

But you can also tell Cal only ever had good intentions when it came to Alana. I really liked that Cal knew he wasn't any good for Alana until he got help, and knew he wasn't ready to get help so he did the best thing by Alana and left, even though it hurt both of them to do so.

I do think the way the town treated Cal was a bit over the top, but I know small towns are like that and they protect their people. And you can see that while Cal hated being treated that way by everyone he was once close to, he understood their reasons and set out to prove to everyone not just Alana that he wasn't out to hurt her again.

I also really loved the bond that Cal had with Alana's daughter Cami. It was really sweet to see them interact. And camo was just the sweetest little girl and so funny. The story wouldn't have been the same without Cami.

So overall I really enjoyed this final book in the trilogy and would absolutely recommend.
