I was so excited to finish Sierra’s story and see what life had in store for her.  She has not had an easy life and I love the way she takes care of her younger sister and how it doesn’t matter what she has to do to provide for them she will do it, it’s a fantastic sisterly bond.  I absolutely loved Cyrus and how he never tried to shut the other guys out and was prepared to do whatever it took to be with Sierra even if it meant sharing her.  Zander and Braxton are sweethearts and I loved how caring they were towards Sierra and weren’t afraid to let her know how they felt.  Colton was a tough one for me as he hadn’t treated her well in the 1st book but I was so glad he redeemed himself and show her his true self.  When they all finally came together to make it work it was perfection and I loved every minute of this book I couldn’t put it down.  I was sorry to say goodbye to them and I hope we get more in the future.

I couldn’t have imagined a better ending for Sierra. I literally finished this book in 4hrs and could not stop reading. This book put me through a roller coaster of emotions. When Sierra cried, I cried. When Sierra laughed? Me too. When Sierra was building connections when her guys? I was definitely rooting for her (especially Cyrus)! I did end up eventually loving all her guys tho. 
And don’t even get me started on the second-hand anger I felt for so many characters, some rightly so and some redeemable. Although, this book does a great job of showing that you don’t always get a redemption ark and not every happy ending looks the same for each person. Sierra grew so much in this book not only in self-confidence but in her blossoming relationships, while still holding true to her strongest relationships with Sam.

Bre Rose knows how to write a story and I cannot wait for what comes next!

This was such a great conclusion to Sierra’s story. I love how it truly showed Sierra’s strength after everything she’s been through. It also showed how not everyone gets the redemption they might want, and that’s perfect to me because real life isn’t always a happy ending for everyone. There are consequences to your actions and you won’t always be forgiven for it. Sierra and Sam’s relationship is also so precious - I loved being able to read about their sister moments. I can’t wait to read what this author comes up with next!
