I love the idea of showing how abuse effects everyone in the family not just the victim. The whole family is the victim people tend to forget that. Thanks for showing that in this story.

I enjoyed this last book in the series. I think there was a lot that happened to the main character, and I would have been happy with half of it happening, but I like the way it all came together at the end.

I hate to say this but after the second book in this series it seemed like she just threw this and her last book in the series together sloppily because it was so all over the place.

Oakley is still trying to recover from that traumatic past. Jasper's character building is everything here, from being a protective brother to being an adorable uncle and devoted husband,i love everything about him. He married Abby whom he loved and who cheated on him. He accepted her and married her. But then, he wanted to start a family but abby doesn't agree with this and she concentrates more on her career but later Jasper came to know her true shade, she's again cheating on him. Holly, his friend's sister became close to him. And he developed some feelings for her. The story goes on and ends well. Really well! Loved how it connected everyone around the whole series.

A male’s perspective on dealing with hardship, masculinity, relationships and fatherhood. Sadly, I felt I was turning the pages to get more insight of the secondary characters more than the main. I hoped Jasper showed more personal growth.

U didn't think I'd be into this book, but I finished it in just a few hours! I love how Cole and Oakley were still big roles

Following the after math of the trial of their father, Oakley and Jasper's family are moving on with their lives and thriving in the new lives they've established for themselves. What hasn't changed for Jasper is his soon-to-be ex-wife, who once again broke his heart into a million pieces. Dealing with this and his struggles from his father leads Jasper down a path he doesn't expect. I did really like this book, and liked we could see the perspective of the whole situation from a different family member and how it affected Jasper's life, in his daily life and romantic relationships. I did think the end, with him trying to work through his fears was a bit rushed and could've been better executed. I loved that he wasn't perfect but he was trying to work through it to be the dad he wanted. I would recommend this book as a sequel.
