Memorable Quote(s):

“I know everything about you. Your past, your fears, how you can’t always control the things your mind does. I also know about how fucking talented you are. How good. How you still want to see the best in people, even if you need them to prove it to you before you’ll let yourself trust it…”

“I’ve been waiting my whole life for you. Just you. I’m not going anywhere.”

Tropes:

•Age Gap

•Nurse x Artist 🩺🎨

•TOP Tier Banter & inner dialogue

•Mental Health Rep

•Hurt/Comfort

•Forbidden Romance ❤️‍🔥

•Found Family 🏡

•Slow Burn

Xander, my sweet baby, he did not deserve what happened to him (Seven either) in the past, BUT he most definitely deserves Mr. DEREK KNIGHT 🥰❤️‍🔥

I have been foaming at the mouth for this book, it was everything and more. I loved seeing Xander and Derek get to know each other WITHOUT the nurse/patient part of relationship; while the first part of this book broke my heart, I know it needed to be done so that these two could finally be together. Derek is Xanders ultimate champion, while Xander brought sunshine back to Derek’s life - it’s was so beautiful. Derek also knowing what Seven (& Molly) meant to Xander and not even questioning that they are package deal had me melting.

Also the banter in this one (like all of Saxon’s books) was Top notch. 😉

I can’t believe this series is over 🥺 it was such a good ending to the Bertha Boys. The epilogue was EVERYTHING, I loved seeing everyone come together one last time.

What an end to the series. I don't want to say too much and spoil it, but it Xander and Derek ending this amazing series was perfection. And this books wrecked me in the best ways. The emotions in the story are big, enhanced by how attached to the characters I already was as a reader. - I'm sure i could be read as a standalone but it would definitely be a huge benefit to understanding Xander to have read the previous books in the series first.

It's emotional thinking that this is the end of the Bertha boys but so amazing that Xander got all the love he deserves.

I am... UNWELL. And I can't stop crying. I can't believe the Bertha Boys series, not its real name, is finally over 😭😭😭 I've loved the Accidental Love series so much, and they've all partnered up and moved out of Bertha.

I seriously can't stop crying.

NOT CATCHING LOVE is out on January 30th. Xander gets his happily ever after with nurse Derek.

How do I write a review without any spoilers?

Xander suffers with anxiety and medical anxiety and panic attacks. All his brothers help as much as they can, but the nurse at the pharmacy, Derek, seems to be the best help when Xander has convinced himself that the latest medical issue has befallen him. <---- upon editing, I've realized this is the chuckles sentence ever, but I am emotionally devastated by the ending of this series, so just let me live.

But nurses can't date patients. And Xander really needs therapy.

Oh, this book. Xander is very unwell and very resistant to get help. Watching him struggle is hard, AND he is often unlikeable. But I was rooting so hard for him. Derek is perfect for him.

We get cameos from the other Bertha boys, Kismet, and Aggie.

I can't believe the series is over.
Your honor, I loved them so much.

I'm off to cry a while.
Remember, January 30th.
