Star Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️   Steam Rating:🌶️🌶️🌶️

The 6th and final book in the Highlands in almost here! I had the pleasure of reading this early, which I’m so grateful for, but I’m so sad the series is over!😭

I have been dying to read this one from the moment Samantha Young teased us with this pairing and it did not disappoint!!

This one follows Eilidh and Fyfe. Eilidh is Lewis’s sister and Fyfe is his best friend. They’ve known each other since early teens Eilidh has been in love with Fyfe all that time. Fyfe has always known about her crush but she’s his best friend’s little sister, he could never go there. But when the two of them start talking and texting privately after a chance encounter, they become so much closer. We get to see their friendship grow over 8 years. We see the tension build, the hurt, the fun moments and the missed moments. The “will they, won’t they” tension had me on the edge of my seat! 

Fyfe and Eilidh went through so much throughout this book, not just in their childhood but as adults too. Eilidh struggled a lot with being a young and famous actress. Learning how cruel the world can be really affected her mental health but I loved seeing her growth through the book. 

Fyfe has always said never wants a relationship, after being abandoned by his mother at a young age, he thought he could never love or commit to someone like that. But when he unexpectedly becomes a single dad, and Eilidh puts her feelings aside to help him, he sees that fatherhood has changed his perspective on who he can love. But will he be able to convince Eilidh that he loves her for her and not for helping him with his daughter?

I loved that Fyfe and Eilidh started off as friends, that they were there for each other in ways others couldn’t be. There’s just something so sweet about being childhood friends and having that trust in someone. 

I won’t say much about the suspense but just when you think it’s over something else happens, couldn’t predict it all 🤣

While I’m sad this series is over, it was a beautiful ending. Those epilogues were perfect!

This one also reiterated my love for Thane & Regan (Eilidh’s parents) I just love those two so much and I loved that we got to see so much of them again!
