This book has everything I adore and more. The enemies-to-lovers dynamic and the sizzling chemistry between the characters were incredible. I loved how the protagonists fought their way back to each other, and the portrayal of marriage felt so real and raw. It truly captured the idea that a happy ending isn’t guaranteed just because they’ve tied the knot and that you have to put in the effort to make it work. Xavier and Sierra embodied that beautifully, and the wedding at the end was absolutely magical. Now, can someone please let me know where I can find a billionaire who’ll buy an island just for me?

I was excited for this read. I had loved all the snippets of Xavier and Sierra through the preceding Windsor sibling stories so finally having their own, getting to know them better made me smile.

Xavier and Sierra's story surprised me. I kind of thought I had it pegged in my head; he's loved her from afar for a while, he's intentionally provoked her business to gain reactions from her and she's secretly adored him for years. While all is true, Xavier's background threw me and I thoroughly enjoyed this aspect. (I would have loved it Maura explored it more.)

This story is opulent. (Gotta love a Billionaire romance novel where diamonds, cars and private islands are at our protagonists finger tips! I'm living vicariously through the fantasy

I knew Sierra’s story would be my favorite. All throughout this series she’s been my favorite with all the sass. I love the buildout through all of the Windsor books of Sierra & Xavier’s story. It was beautifully written and sadly I assumed that Grams likely would die in this one once she saw that all of her grandchildren were happy in love and would be ok. Such a bittersweet ending to an amazing series.

Mon tome préféré de la saga. Coup de coeur pour le couple et Xavier en particulier. 

L'intrigue était pas mal. Je ne suis pas vraiment une fan du "ennemies-to lovers" trope mais ça passait pour ce livre car il n'a pas trop été partie intégrante du livre. 

Il s'agit des rares fois où j'ai accepté et apprécié la rupture de troisième acte car totalement justifié par les événements et les épreuves surmontées par le couple. 

Je pense que l'autrice a su développer et construire au fur et à mesure des tomes ses personnages et intriquer leurs démons et passé troublant à l'intrigue et au développement de l'histoire. 

On est pas loin d'un coup de coeur.
