1.0

I was surprised by how much I disliked this one, especially in comparison to the earlier books. But I just truly hated Lana’s character. 

She isn’t communicative, but expects people to tell her things or else it’s “betrayal”. She refuses to listen when people do try to explain things and then is upset when she finds out about it later. 

My biggest issue though, is how everyone treats Cal terribly for frankly the flimsiest reason I’ve ever read. It’s a lose lose situation for him - if he hadn’t left they’d have hated him for staying and not letting Lana do her own thing. The lack of empathy was truly disgusting and I think said A LOT about the authors perspective on addiction. It did not sit well with me and came across as a dangerously naive story to tell. 

Wyatt in particular made me want to throw my e-reader at a wall. I’m supposed to root for the friendship of cop that intentionally incited violence? Fuck that. He abused his power and the story called it a joke.

I know it’s “just smut” but even that wasn’t good enough in this book to make up for how it handled addiction as a main element of the story. 

The only reason I gave it 1 star is because of the updates to the previous books characters. I don’t think I’ll be reading any more books by this author.

Cal was an interesting character but I didn't particularly connect with the Lana. The miscommunication trope is heavy in this book and I honestly struggled to get through some of it.

Tw: alcoholism

This was a good end to the trilogy. It was interesting to see how the sensitive nature of alcoholism was felt with. There were good side characters and the small town feel was decent. 

Over all I was just glad that the series wasn’t longer. Any more and it would have felt too drawn out.

The rival home buyer gave a foreshadowing snippet into the next series.

It made me laugh that in this day and age we have to have the standard set to billionaire romance in order to have people afford what a millionaire romance was just a few years ago. Just a funny observation

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!

So cute and very emotional. I still want to kill Seth Kane in case anyone is wondering. But I really liked Alana and finally getting Cal’s story. Also, the progression of Cami and Cal’s relationship was so dang cute. I’ll never get over it. 

Second Chance Romance, 2 1/2 🔥
