It takes forever to get to an answer but the pacing is done so well that the book never feels slow.
Once again, Jennifer Lynn Barnes has earned a gold star for dialogue. Every quip had me smiling. Every heartfelt confession tugged at my heart.
I don't know how the characters of Hawthorne House can be so mysterious and so loveable at the same time, but every one of them is thoroughly enjoyable.
Even though the story felt like it would have to leave loose ends, Barnes managed to wrap every mystery in a satisfying bow.
The plot may not be complex and the characters may not be the deepest you'll ever read, but I completely enjoyed every page of The Hawthorne Legacy and can't wait to dive in to book 3.

This book and series was a wild ride and it felt pretty wrapped up at the end so I’m excited to see what book 3 holds.
This one was so crazy! There was so much more action and I was very happy that most of the family no longer hated her.
Also just like Avery, my feelings were all over the place in the book. I was team Gray for so long but then I switched to Jamie and then back to Gray. I can’t decide 😭 I love them both.
For now, with the ending and the rest of the book I’m team Jameson and Grayson. But it may change next book. However, I think I already know how it’s gonna go down. Still love my Hawthorne boys though 🫶🏻
Overall I’m so excited for book 3 but a little nervous about what it entails. Also cannot wait for book 4 later this month.
SPOILERS ⬇️
Me literally waiting for Xander and Max to get together the whole book. I hope they are endgame but idk if I’m reading this wrong. But I’m still gonna hope for it 🤞

In general, I'm not a fan of romantic subplots, and this one wasn't an exception. To me, it was more funny than anything. I found myself laughing out loud at times, especially at the descriptions and placement of some scenes. As with the first book, I think it's pretty obvious who she'll end up with, anyway.
However, even with all of its issues, I still had a generally good time reading it, mostly by not taking it seriously.
