Damn you, Dean Dawson.

Now THAT, was the ending that Dean Dawson deserved! I’ve had a “special” relationship (in my mind) with Dean since I read Cheat Codes/End Game. He was such a poop head in those books. Ok to be honest in almost all of the books we see his grumpy side, but slowly, very slowly, he grew on me. And I saw how his relationship with Kara was meh, and after Fight Dirty I NEEDED his REAL happy ending. Like there was no way I could sleep at night if Dean and Kara were forever.

Haha, a tad dramotional? LUCKILY, Emily is a saint in author form, and blessed us all with Dean & Rory. If anyone is perfect for the newly divorced, jaded on love, Dean Dawson it is Rory Harris. She’s fun, she’s sassy, and she knows she deserves nothing less than to be someone’s all in love. Which is funny, because after the failure that was his marriage, Dean is more of a one night and done kind of guy. Until his one night with Rory isn’t enough.

I don’t want to spoil their whole story, so yeah. Just read it. Emily did the perfect job at giving Dean a second chance at happily ever after, and easily making me fall in love with Rory as well. We get the catch ups with the whole Dawson/Jones crew, and we get to partake in a few of those family dinners that I will miss reading about. The Dawson fam will always have a special place in my reader heart. They are that fictional family you want to be apart of! Does it really have to end? Who else can we beg her to write about?

So Happy

Im so happy after this Book I started this journey a while ago with the Dawsons and my heart is so full and happy. Who wouldn’t want in-laws like the Dawsons? I hope we get Rorys Brothers Stories later!!!

Dean has always been a relationship kind of guy, until his wife cheated on him. When he met Rory, it was instant attraction and he's sure he couldn't be in another relationship that could end up damning. So he isn't ready to face the fact that he has feelings at all.

Rory's also faced with her own rock bottom, but her view on relationship never changed. She knew she would get attached. But with his sister's interference, they could not avoid each other. She was the perfect match for Dean and they were good together. I loved watching them get to know each other and build this relationship together.

I would say, this was such a cute one!

(ARC REVIEW) I was so happy to see we were getting more of the Dawson family, especially a chance at redemption for Dean. He was kind of a butt in the previous books, unhappy marriage aside.

Reeling from his divorce, Dean has no interest in love. Been there, done that, got a divorce. He's only interested in hooking up- feelings need not apply. Rory was all that I hoped for: strong, weird, nice. After losing her job, her boyfriend, and her apartment in one day, she had officially hit rock bottom. A chance at a better job in a new town was exactly the fresh start she needed. Dean and Rory meet in what is supposed to be a one night stand, but their paths seem determined to cross. The sparks between them are immense, and they really enjoy spending time together. Can Dean overcome his past and learn to love again?

I really enjoyed the book, especially seeing the Dawson gang again. Quinn is a favorite of mine, and I love all those Dawson boys. I was glad to see Dean get his HEA and sad the series has come to an end (again). I do think this story is definitely for fans of the series, I wouldn't start with this one.

Okay, Emily Goodwin satisfied a lot of readers by giving us Dean Dawson's story! The Dawson Family series has been a lot of fun, but I really needed to know more about Dean and Kara's relationship since Kara was so unlikable throughout the other books. Luckily, Emily gave us Rock Bottom and we finally got answers about the doomed relationship.

This book was so fun! The Dawson's never disappoint. There are laughs and emotion and everything you could possibly want. Of course, Dean doesn't want another relationship after everything he's dealt with from his ex-wife. And of course, Rory decides to throw caution to the wind and try for a one-night stand. What happens after these two meeting is hilarious. I loved their journey and I absolutely love that Dean got his HEA!!!

Thank you to Social Butterfly PR for the eARC in exchange for an honest review!
