AUDIOBOOK REVIEW
I can't believe we finally have Lily's story.
I've been wondering what happened to her since Beneath the Stars.
This book did not disappoint!
While parts of it, I had questions about overall it was a great listen that finished off the series perfectly. I have seriously become an Emily McIntire fan!
Would totally recommend this series, because it'll be in my mind for a long time to come.

What a powerful end to an outstanding series! Emily McIntire has created some amazing characters in her Sugarlake Series, and in this book, their stories all came together with a satisfying and touching conclusion.
Lily went through the unspeakable as a child, and I’m so glad she found her way back into the fold of her loving family. I actually haven’t come across a backstory like Mason’s (or the mess he found himself in with his father), and that is so rare and refreshing to an avid reader like me. While he may not have picked the best way or time to insert himself into Lily’s life, it turned out to be the very best thing for him, Lily, and Baby Chase. I loved their love, and I’m so glad I found this series and this author!

Ahh I can't believe this is the end of the Sugarlake Series...the feeling of this book left me is bittersweet but so happy to see how all this played out in the end!
This is the book everyone, including myself, have been waiting for! This was literally the cherry on top for everything this series has come to when you and if you've read the other books.

We meet Lily once again from when she suddenly disappeared from book one; where has she been?! She has a past, something she could not outrun ever and has scars & secrets kept beneath the surface. (Had to put it there!)
We see her now as an adult, with a son who she dearly puts everything in for him before her. Lily hoped she wouldn't face her past or anyone for that matter, unfortunately it was wishful thinking. Her demons as well as people she ran from has come back, and she was held onto to come back to where it all began, Sugarlake, Tennessee.
Mason, he's an investigator, hired to find Lily and report back to Chase once she's been found. Yet he didn't do that, he was so allured to her, wondering why she ran away and the darkness she carries around herself. Desperate to know her story and before it was too late, love was blossoming.

Ah, going into this, I knew this was going to be heavy and it currently put me through a whirlwind of emotions and heartache! I would like to prewarn y'all that this book has tons of trigger warnings such as drug abuse and rape so read at your own risk!
Love was not supposed to happen especially for an investigator that's supposed to do his job but he couldn't help himself when it came to Lily Adams. If you've read Emily's other books you'd see what each book has in common, a forbidden/not supposed to happen love story but of course it happens anyways! Who wouldn't want to read such a thrilling trope

"And through it all, I’ll remember the wind..."
*
Lily Adams has been lost and broken for most of her life with demons and scars that run so deep she struggles not to let them drag her under. She's been fighting to get by all for the sake of her son because if there's one thing she's certain of, she will not be anything like her own mother, her son will always come first. But in order to keep them both safe she's ran away from everyone she knows, shutting the world out. That is until Mason begins to wedge his way in. Mason who should not, under any circumstances, be getting close to Lily and who, despite everything, just can't stay away from her. I guess in the end, we all have our secrets, but will they lead to broken hearts or will sharing the burden help to heal their shattered souls?
*
"But there’re some things that just can’t be erased — tattoos that get etched beneath the surface, carved so deep they brand your soul..."
*
Emily McIntire has done it again - what a book and what a story, filled to the brim with honest and raw emotions! I couldn't put this book down, I was sucked in and completely invested in Lily, Mason and their journey together. And the twists just kept on coming! My heart ached for Lily and all she had to endure but how she still managed to keep it all together for her son, because that's what good parents do.
I didn't think it was possible with how much I love the Sugarlake Series, and the men from Book 1-3, but Mason has taken the top spot! He's everything that Lily needed and I found myself swooning! I was balling during the last chapter, especially with the ending line which is absolutely perfect! And those two epilogues were everything...
*
“Let yourself be happy..."
*
Emily has a pure talent for weaving together relationships that are so honest, baring every vulnerability and weakness, along with undeniable chemistry and very steamy romance that keeps me coming back for more! I can't wait to see more from this amazing author!
*
"And happiness is a funny thing. When one person has it, it spreads like ivy, winding its way around everyone else; if only they let it grow..."

The last 20% of this book had me absolutely ugly crying out of happiness for everyone. The whole series had me staying up way too late reading and now I’m sad that it’s over. The book hangover is realllllll and no other romance series will ever compare to Sugarlake.
