3.9 AVERAGE

emotional medium-paced

This was lackluster. I mean, all the ends were tied up, but the first half of the book was blah.

You’re telling me these fuckers didn’t check for a pulse the first time? That shit pissed me off, lol. Overall series was enjoyable, I did enjoy how much Laiken had to work to get Hayes’ trust back.

HOLY ROLLERCOASTER!!! I am so thrilled to finally have the end of the story!!! Laiken and Hayes are literally end game for how deep their love runs. The conclusion was nothing I saw coming ...no spoilers here but I'm telling you it's a MUST read because *brain exploding!*

What a wild turn of events this book series had me in! Had a Pretty Little Liars vibe to it which I didn’t mind and kept the plot interesting, definitely had me hooked from beginning to end in this book!!

The final book in this romantic suspense trilogy and I am impressed by it all! The characters, the suspense, the plot had me in a chokehold! I was literally on the edge of my seat trying to figure who the stalker was going through all the friends and people that Laiken, Hayes, Cam, and Mali have encountered. I was shocked to find out who the stalker was in this book!
I loved every minute of this book! This author did an excellent job! I highly recommend this trilogy!

I absolutely loved this book! It was extremely emotional. My heart went out to Hayes. He went through so much mentally and still worried about others more than himself.

I was honestly shocked by the crazy twist towards the end. Part of me thought it could happen but the book was detailed to describe that no there was no way. Welllll sure enough, there was

Holy speechless.... not only did kelsey do her thing. But she brought it back and did it again! Man, I didnt think i could love this world anymore, but wooowee was I wrong. This trilogy is a masterpiece, and hands down is a top read of all time for me. 5 stars are nothing on this. I am obsessed with Hayes and Laiken. As well as Cam and Mali . Them twists catch you completely off guard! Run... seriously run to read this

The series started as a brother best friends/friends little sister hockey romance book but by the half way point of the second book it really lost the hockey aspect of it.


I loved the friendship between the characters and then the romantic relationships between the couple(s) and never ever doubted the loved they had for each other. It was a bit predictable but in a good way because we would have hated if it went any other way!

This books has pretty little liars vibes but there was many holes and unanswered questions in the murder mystery presented. Also was Monty kind weird and creepy 100% but I really did get more bad vibes from Isaac so I was shocked when Monty did the things he did.

Mostly I’m disappointed that the end felt extremely rushed and I didn’t get to see Laiken and Hayes as parents and continue their new life after all the trauma.

Okay, this one kind of lost me a little. While it was very interesting, the whole murder sub-plot kind of had me questioning things a little. Think Pretty Little Liars, only explicit. I didn't know up from down or left from right on what was going to happen next, but I also knew exactly how it was going to end. And the length of time Laiken was away was crazy and his punishment to her for leaving made for dynamite tension, also made me want to throw my kindle across the room. I still loved them as a couple and I had fun reading. Just didn't love as much as book one and two. 

Laiken has been gone for 19 months. No one knows where she is, Hayes has given up on finding her, but one thing he hasn't given up on is his wedding vows. He still loves her and knows that she is his person but he doesn't think they can ever fix what was broken. Laiken ran to protect Hayes, but now that she's back and sees what she was missing, she wonders if she made the right choice. Hayes will barely look at her, but what she doesn't now if that when she's not looking at him - his eyes stay glued to her.
