Monroe has the magic touch. The Winslow brothers are an addiction of the heart that proves too tempting to put down. The Redo is a sizzler that brings the funny. From witty to spicy, Remington and Maria are an accident worth falling into.
this is a cute read. loved both mcs and their relationship together was great! first book i’ve read from the author and i might continue!
While I enjoyed reading this book, I wouldn't go as far as to recommend it. The pregnancy plot is great at the beginning and the dynamic between Remy and Maria, as Remy becomes so involved in Izzy's life is super cute. However, I thought some of the decisions made regarding the pace of the plot and the apprehensions of the characters were made purely to lengthen the book.
I understand that Remy had been left at the altar when he was younger, but that was 15 years earlier, and his actions towards Maria didn't reflect that he had any hesitations about settling down with her. So, I was confused as to why he had to tell readers that he was so concerned about his past and how it could affect his relationship with Maria. He's basically living with this woman, acting as a father figure towards her baby, taking her on surprise holidays to the Bahamas and has realised he's in love with her. He's also 44 years old. Why the apprehension?
The other thing that bothered me with these hesitations, shown from both Remy and Maria (although Maria's is slightly more understandable, as she had been through a lot with the loss of her sister, and has a baby's emotions to consider as well) was towards the end of the novel when Maria confronts Remy about where they're at in their relationship. She wants an official commitment, or an ease on all the confusion she's experiencing. Which in my opinion, is completely valid. However, he immediately jumped to defend the fact that she should clearly be able to see how he feels for her. But if all his actions suggest he's in love with her and wants to be with her (which they do) then why not just make the formal commitment? I understand they have both experienced things that would make them a little more jaded when it comes to relationships, but I don't think these experiences warrant the actions that eventuated.
In the end they obviously end up happy together, and they're clearly a great couple, however I thought these hesitations were just thrown in for the sake of having some conflict and weren't really effective or believable.
I did love the dynamics of the Winslow family though. The boisterous brothers are definitely reminiscent of my own gigantic family, and I loved Remy's relationship with his sister and niece.
The addition of Cleo, the fortune teller was also a cute way to tie everything together, especially because the book started and ended with her.
Overall, it's a cute second-chance romance, but not the best out there, and probably not something I'd come back to.

sweet and interesting
It was interesting and sweet. It just wasn’t shocking or surprising. The characters are well built and stubborn and independent and fun to watch.

The final book in the Winslow Brothers is a perfect mix of sweet, tragic, and funny. Remy is the last brother to have his story told.
Cleo, the psychic's prediction came true and he was in fact, left at the altar. Fast forward 15 years, and all his siblings are now married (or about to be). are having children, and Remi is the lone single one and ultimate uncle to Lexi and others. He runs into his high school sweetheart Maria when they're stuck in an elevator one day. Maria is pregnant, but it wasn't really her child. She was a surrogate for her sister and brother-in-law.
Another elevator event with these two changes their circumstances, and their future together. At the end, it's yet another elevator that seals the deal!
Just like other novels, you get all the Winslow family, including some updates and key developments from Lexi who is becoming a teenager. I'm hoping that she will have her story told one day, as she's one of the few characters that has been consistently appearing in all the Winslow novels.

This was a great ending to the Winslow Brothers. I loved every second of Remy and Maria. I think I smiled throughout the whole damn thing. And it was great to see the entire gang in this final book.
