this one was so bittersweet. i have been equally dreading and anticipating sierra and xavier story for so long.  their pairing has been built up throughout the entirety of this series and catharina exceeded my expectations for their HEA. their antics had me dying laughing- the mrs. kingston protocol is without a doubt the most iconic lore. xavier is the husband that every reader dreams of!!! i was choking back sobs during parts of this book, and while i anticipated it happening- i could never have been prepared for how bad that plot point would hurt. but as always, catharina wrote it with such care and grace. 

Leon Nixon and Raven Rose both produced wonderful narrations for these two. I was initially thrown off, as i imagined them being more young voices- but, as I listened I connected more to them both as older and more mature characters & it overall enhanced the audio experience!

this series has been one of my favorite series that ive ever read. 
the windsors and catharina maura both will forever hold a piece of my heart!

It was still a notch too long. The plot felt a bit nonsensical at times. Xavier’s first half was good, the way he patiently wins her over and how she gradually opens up to the possibility. But the third act was a bit frustrating and, in my opinion, unnecessary for the HEA.
