3.87 AVERAGE


Annie and Tyler have had one heck of journey to get to where they are now. I loved watching them truly grow as individuals and as a couple. Their passion and love for each other has only grown more intense. The ups and downs and every bump in the road has led them to this long awaited moment; their wedding. But, Piper Lawson had a few more obstacles for the couple to overcome. A Love Song for Always was a beautiful friends to lovers romance that was sweet, steamy and full of feels. Rose Dioro and Teddy Hamilton were fantastic in evoking each and every emotion.

GAH!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, Piper for giving me their HEA.
Coming into this story I kind of expected all sunshine and rainbows. I should have known better!

There was an underlying tension the whole way through the book that had me stuck to the pages until stupid o'clock (I may or may not have fallen asleep with my phone on my face only to wake up and finish reading in the morning).

To say I am sad to see the end of this series is an understatement.
These two, their friends (lawd, give me all the Beck!) and family have such a strong hold on my heart that it really is bittersweet.

I hope we get to revisit these two, -and any littles they may create - in other books, it would totally absolutely blow me away to meet their kiddies!

Rose and Teddy did an amazing job with narration

HAPPILY EVERY AFTER!! Finally, after all these years, this was the best ending to the best series!! I won't lie, this was a rocky, bumpy road, and I almost thought we wouldn't make it. Growing up, I thought they would end up together, but then Tyler started doing everything he could to push Annie away. Any time they came together, it was never the right time. But finally, their stars are lining up, and even though life is still busy for them, they're happily in love and life is going their way! Love this series, love Annie and Tyler's story!

Well, I give the Rivals Series 3 stars after finishing all 4 books which could be combined and made into one book. Tyler & Annie’s story was pretty good. I hated how the author just skipped through “two & a half years later” and also a near drowning should have been elaborated on or just left out completely. I am giving 3 stars for entertainment to the complete series.

“Rivals” is a trilogy. This is an extra story about Tyler & Annie’s wedding. While the story was completed with “Dreamers”, I wanted to make sure I read everything. The book is okay, but it doesn’t add anything to the story as a whole. It’s just an extra glimpse into the characters and their lives. It also proves that no one lives happily ever after just because they’re together and that Jax is still a jerk.
