Another great read!!
Final Proposal is the last book in the S.I.N. Trilogy by K. Bromberg. This installment focuses on Fordham Sharpe and the business venture he embarks on with Ellery Sinclair, who he met by chance during a storm. I was sucked in immediately, when they met in the bar during the storm. There was an obvious chemistry between them, as well as entertaining banter. Both Ford and Elle are in a transitional stage of life, because they are running from family issues, and have emotional scars that need dealt with. Differing perspectives on love, a misunderstanding about Elle’s relationship status, and their business arrangement all act as obstacles to them coming together. When they finally give into the physical chemistry, it is blazing hot! I also found it interesting that Elle is an avid romance reader, and the author worked excerpts of some of her earlier books into some of the spicy scenes. It was fun to be reminded of books I’ve read in the past. I might need to do a few rereads. Lol. I appreciate the authenticity of the emotions throughout the book, as both the main characters try to sort out their issues. Then, the plot twist toward the end packed a huge emotional punch! Throughout the series, I have loved watching the relationships between the triplets grow and evolve, and that twist really highlighted the love between them, and their unique bond. I, for one, always read epilogues, and I loved this one. It tied the series up well, though I’m sad it’s over.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

the tension in this was exquisite. a round of applause for a well-done forced proximity trope.

So this review is going to be a bit different than my other reviews. I have loved every book I have ever read by Ms. Bromberg. This one was a little different in that it took me FOREVER to get into it. I put it down actually two - three times until finally I told myself that I would give it one hour. In that one hour - I began to slowly fall more in love with Ford and Ellery. Now - lets be clear they are not my favorite... Do I wish this book was a bit faster paced? Yes. Do I wish that the spicy scenes were a little longer? Yes. Did I finally finish this book? yes! It was a little to slow for me, but Ms. Bromberg wrapped up this book and did justice to Ford in the best way she could. I still love her writing style and I cant wait to see what else she brings to the table!

Best one of the series in my opinion! Is it because I'm also a middle child and totally understood why Ford was upset by the Just Ford comment, very possible. Or it's that Ford is hands down the best of the triplets.

Final Proposal
The S.I.N. Series
By: K. Bromberg
Narrated by: Rose Dioro, Jason Clarke
There is something about these Sharpe men. Could it be the triplet thing? I don't think so since they are all so different. And Ford is definitely my favorite. Because just Ford. Now, let's get down to it. K Bromberg has me flying to a hotel renovation where Ford meets Ellery for the second time. Yes, their paths crossed briefly during a storm, but now it's for a longer period of time, and business may get in the way. Ellery is a smart woman, and her constant challenging ways intrigues Ford. At the same time, Ellery appreciates Ford's attentiveness to her business acumen. But working together with an igniting passion is extremely distracting, and this slow burn, forbidden romance may just explode! That is until it begins to fizzle.Obstacles, circumstances, the past and fear may just be what keeps this couple apart. Will they find their way? I love, love love these two together. Ford is so sweet and doting, he is impossible not to love. Ellery celery(I love that nickname) is cautious, rightly so, but at times frustrating! I was yelling at my phone as I listened! Pus the cameos by the other Sharpe's makes it like coming home! Bromberg keeps the story fresh and passionate, just what I love about her writing,. It's a great ending to a fabulous trilogy!
Not only is the story amazing, but so is the narration. The team of Jason Clarke and Rose Dioro are so good, that I listened to this book almost constantly! Clarke gives us that warm, businessman sound as Ford and adds that bit of fiery attraction to his voice, making Ford irresistible. Dioro keeps Ellery all business until she can't, creating her sense of urgent love! Together these two make this narration one that should not be missed.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I really really enjoyed this one! I loved the concept of Ford and Elle meeting at a bar stuck in a storm, and both falling in love with the idea of turning it into a bar/inn. They both realized that it would be great for their businesses, and they both wanted to see each other again. The progress of their relationship while also seeing how they're dealing with personal issues AND getting to know each other on top of that was just icing on the cake. I absolutely loved Ford and Elle's story and if you haven't read this series yet, I 100% recommend it! Thank you Valentine PR for this ARC.:)

Final Proposal is the the third book in the S.I.N. Series and is the story of Ford and Ellery.
Ellery and Ford met the night of a big storm that shut down the roads, trapping them at a bar. They had a sweet night, where they could be themselves, tell each other a little about their issues without worrying about what the other may think. You realize quickly how sweet their story is going to be.
Ellery is determined to show her step-father and step-brothers that she deserves her place in the family business. Because her place was inherited from her mother, she constantly has to prove herself, even though her step-brothers are there telling her she's going to fail. Well ... they take credit for all of her ideas. It does come back to bite them in the end and it is obvious to her step-father, when he goes to them for ideas and cannot answer the questions. He realized what was going on. I loved that part.
Ford is a Sharp triplet, his life has been for public consumption and he has accepted it but doesn't like it. He and his brothers are successful but doesn't feel like he fits in, like his ideas are truly valued. He tells his brother's he needs a change of scenery and wants to work on his own project. Well, his own project is the bar/inn where he was stuck with Ellery. His brothers make fun of him at first but quickly realize he is serious and backs him up, giving him the space and help that he needs to make it successful.
I really enjoyed the beginning of Ellery and Ford's story, but then I started feeling like the middle just dragged on. I got bored for a little while and then I got close to the end and realized I had tears streaming down my face. Only a good book can bring out those kinds of emotions. All those parts that I thought was boring is tied into the end and they make so much more sense. I loved this book and I am so glad that Ford's story was saved for last because it would not have been the same if he had been earlier. I highly recommend this book and this series.
