Oh I loved this final book in the series! It was sweet, sexy and also serious. There were some serious themes that were done really well. I loved how the lead female Daisy and lead male Harrison grew through this book and how they helped each other in so many little ways but also huge life changing ways. It was beautiful to read.
There was a really good twist as well which I didn't see coming which gets extra points. 
I loved their romance, it grew so well and had perfect amounts of sweet and spice. 
Both characters have their own issues and their growth and support for each other was my favourite part. 
Daisy is hilarious. She oozes sex which made Harrison's life rather difficult at first and her banter was forever making me smile. But she isn't shallow, she has a lot on her plate and has also been through a lot of hard times. I thought she was actually very mature for her age. She also brought out the fun and happiness out in Harrison. 
Harrison is a really interesting character and went on a really big mental journey through this book. He has always been a good man but has settled for less than he deserved in the past and it left him heartbroken anyway. So to see him getting what he really wants in this book was lovely. 

I recommend this series so much to anyone that loves some smutty romance!
