The final brother, always waiting until the last minute to complete his tasks. Callahan Kane. Also known as Cal. To gain his inheritance he has to essentially make amends with his childhood best friend and the woman who still holds his heart.

The only problem is.... Alana hates him. (Rightfully so). Before Cal broke her heart into pieces they experienced a love that no one could forget.

"You told me you wouldn't ever leave me." he promised. It's the only reason I let him shatter our friendship with a single kiss. Because I was just as invested in our future as a couple as he seemed to be. He looks up with cloudy eyes. "I'm sorry." -Alana and Cal

After 6 years apart Cal returns to Lake Wisteria with one thing on his mind. Sell the house. Only there is a road block... Alana lives there with her kid. Cal immediately falls back into old habits with Alana but she is hesitant.

"A part of me hope that he found happiness in the 6 years we spent apart. Not with someone else, but with himself. He is no better than the day he left."-Alana

But they just can't resist each other.

"Anything for you." Three words. Five syllables. One punch in the gut. -Callahan and Alana

After some time, Alana finally begins to trust Cal again. She is falling back into love with him since he makes it so damn hard not to.

"I left her arm up and nudge Lana to do the same. She copies me, causing Cami to swing between us. The giggle she lets out makes my whole heart threatened to burst like a confetti cannon." -Cal

Cal finally realized what his grandfather really meant in his letter. Why he sent him there again. Why he needs to get sober. It's for himself. So he can be there for his family.

"I make the same wish I did back at Dreamland, although I have no candle or cake to make it official. I wish to kick my addiction for good." -Cal

Cal is determined to kick his addiction and be the man that Lana needs. Be the dad that Cami wants. And finally be the happiest version of himself.

Toen ik begon in het laatste deel van deze serie had ik enorm veel hoop! De andere boeken waren echt geweldig en stiekem was cal mijn favoriete broer dus het leukst werd voor het laatst bewaard! Dit verhaal had alles waar ik in een boek naar zoek: romance, spice, kinderen, humor en een onderliggend plot. Tijdens het lezen heb ik zoveel verschillende emoties ervaren dat het bijna beschamend was om dit boek te lezen als mensen erbij waren. Ik moest af en toe een traantje laten en ik heb zeker ook hardop gelachen. De schrijfwijze was heel goed, ondanks dat het een engels boek is ben ik erdoorheen gevlogen. Ik had niet eens meer door hoeveel tijd er verstreken was! Ik raad deze serie aan iedereen aan het is zeker weten één van mijn mijn favoriete series geworden!

Ik vind het heel jammer dat deze serie nu klaar is! Ik had er nog wel langer van kunnen genieten!

This one has the small town and second chance trope which are also two of my favorites and I loved it so much!

The first two books almost made me believe in true love, Final Offer convinced me that there IS true love out there.

Cal struggled with his addiction and I was feeling bad for him the entire time. He ends up going to rehab to get another chance with Lana but I think it’s good that it emphasizes the importance of getting better for yourself before anyone else. Although he did it for their relationship, he also knew how much HE needed it.

The ending was everything I needed and more all 3 couples were together with their children and it felt like one big family 🥹

I absolutely loved this book. I loved Cal and Alana's journey back to each other.

I enjoyed the fact that Alana made Cal work for it when it came to getting her back. A lot of books would have the characters getting back together in the first few chapters, but they didn't in this book, and it worked out really well that they didn't.

But you can also tell Cal only ever had good intentions when it came to Alana. I really liked that Cal knew he wasn't any good for Alana until he got help, and knew he wasn't ready to get help so he did the best thing by Alana and left, even though it hurt both of them to do so.

I do think the way the town treated Cal was a bit over the top, but I know small towns are like that and they protect their people. And you can see that while Cal hated being treated that way by everyone he was once close to, he understood their reasons and set out to prove to everyone not just Alana that he wasn't out to hurt her again.

I also really loved the bond that Cal had with Alana's daughter Cami. It was really sweet to see them interact. And camo was just the sweetest little girl and so funny. The story wouldn't have been the same without Cami.

So overall I really enjoyed this final book in the trilogy and would absolutely recommend.
