Oh, Belmont. Sigh. Tessa saved the best for last! This was the perfect ending to the Clarkson siblings story. I'm so glad I decided to read these in order - I could cry (again) thinking about each of their journeys.

Easy read romance with characters from some of the earlier books. 

Eh, I wasn’t super jazzed about this one. Belmont and Sage were really intense and it was a little too much for me. And I know it wasn’t a romcom, but typically Tessa Bailey books have layers of comedy even if they’re not romcoms, and this one had none at all. Plus with them both being virgins you miss out on the typical Tessa Bailey sex scenes. All in all, not a huge fan of this one.

Sage and Beaumont's relationship in this book was downright disturbing. I really hope therapy is in the future for them. I was very concerned and uncomfortable with how everything unfolded. Spicy scenes were spicy. 

I don’t know why I didn’t DNF this series two books ago… this one was so cringy at points and the ending was meh.
