An Olympic rugby player with a mustache, a fiery but wounded nurse, and one wildly inappropriate meet-cute? Yeah, I was hooked. MJ’s story is the last in the King Family series—and it hits all the right emotional notes while still making me laugh, swoon, and yell “JUST SAY YES” at my Kindle.
What I Loved:
🌟 Logan. Freaking. Brown. Soft-hearted protector with thighs of steel and a mustache that needs its own fan club.
🌟 MJ finally stepping out of the background and claiming her story—feisty, funny, and full of heart.
🌟 Their banter. Their chemistry. Their slow burn tension.
🌟 The way Logan helped MJ heal without trying to fix her—he just loved her through it.
🌟 Arthur the meddling grandpa and the warm small-town vibes.
🌟 Cameos from the King and Sullivan crew—bittersweet but so satisfying.
Favorite Scene:
The first dinner with Arthur where Logan walks in and completely misjudges the situation had me cackling. A chaotic start that only made the slow-burn sweeter.
Favorite Moments:
🌟 Logan giving MJ a nickname no one else uses—Julep 😭
🌟 The steamy one-bed scene (hello, tension 🥵)
🌟 Logan defending MJ against her ex—not once, but twice
🌟 MJ finally standing up for herself and choosing her own happiness
🌟 That final scene with all the Kings & Sullivans together 🥹
Why It’s 4 Stars:
MJ and Logan’s story is heartfelt, healing, and HOT—but the second half didn’t fully deliver the emotional punch I expected for a series finale. Still, this one’s a gem.
Final Thoughts:
This book gave MJ the HEA she so deserved. Watching her bloom after everything she’s been through made my heart happy. Logan is top-tier book boyfriend material and their chemistry? Unmatched. It’s the end of an era in Outtatowner, and while I’m sad to say goodbye, this was the perfect sendoff. 💕
