Nice

I like the book the most out of the whole series. I have a better appreciation of the first two books after reading this one.
I don’t think I would have understood the reason for Emilia and Carter being apart of the first two books did not set the scene. It helped me understand why Emilia was so hurt and angry at Kate and Helen.
It also made the hea ending more endearing

Just wow, there’s not much I can say without giving spoilers so I won’t say much. It’s been like 3 days since I finished this book and I can’t stop thinking about it. I full on recommed it to read the whole trilogy (book 2 was hard though). 

I’m still mad and upset with some characters, there are things you don’t forget nor stops hurting, no matter how much time passes or what they do to apoligize. 

I love this author’s characters, their development troughout the books is always really good (except in her “The Tie That Binds” book, post a review on that already so no further comments just don’t read it). I’ll now continue with my quest to read all the author’s book, hope they’re all as good as this.

Gosh i've never read a story with so much trials and tribulations that i can't even get a good sigh of relief once one resolves. Halfway thru book3 i know Kate will eventually get a redemption but i hoped she would not, i honestly am angry with her and glad how realistic Emilia's reactions are. I too harbor a lot of feelings and for someone used to cutting of people, i guess the onky redemption fitting of Kate is that, and i did not see that one coming. Glad this is HEA afted all these. I cried a lot in this book stayes up til 6 the next morning reading it and a few pages left, read after I woke up from a 3hr sleep.

Even tho there were other people in those 8 years apart, i am glad there was no cheating

I considered not writing a review but I changed my mind. This was a fun series! I liked watching them kinda grow over the years.

The ending felt a bit weak. They've been through so much. People change over the course of time
I want to see Asher's story and maybe even Kate's. It must be hard to deal with the guilt
They need a therapist for sure.

So glad that I saw it through the end with this trilogy. I felt so many different emotions throughout each of the books and this last one made me feel so happy to see Carter & Emelia find their way back to each other. No matter what obstacles life threw at them, their love was enough to overcome it
