4.0
Well, what I can tell you certainly is that I enjoyed this book way better than the second one. But that said, and despite my initial excitment towards the whole idea of telling the story of how one person can influence several people, the series kinda got old by the time the last book came out. The books individually would/could have been huge success and phenomenal stories but with the insane amount of overlaps between them just made them a bit boring for me. The one reason why I don't reread books is because for the second time it's not as exciting anymore. This applies in this case as well. We see too much into the other books.
Anyway I enjoyed Blake and Samantha's story. I was the most interested in Sam side of things from the very beginning so it was great to finally see it. Not that I didn't know what the conclusion of the story is going to be since it's clear from the ending of Perfect love story, and also the inbetween parts were pretty preditable, but the overall atmosphere was really great. So yes I liked it.
Now for purely about the story, or more like about the characters. I really liked them even if I didn't agree with their choices all the time. They are not the kind of characters I prefer in my reads but they are perfect for this plot, they give something extra to the series.
Samantha's POV is really tense but emotionally reserved from the very beginning mainly thanks to her in-laws. I would have blown up way before she even started to reailez their faults. Anyway for some reason I expected her side of the story to be more emotional. And while she goes through a lot of things I don't really feel the emotions coming through the writing. That was a shame because it would have been awesome with a bit more UHMP.
I also felt that she blamed almost everything on her being an orphan, that was a bit strange for me.
Sam and Blake had a lot in common and they could help each other heal. This is one thing that probably propelled their relatonship ahead so fast and made things so effortless between them. The loss and grief created a bond between them. And while it was maybe a bit fast.paced romance wise I loved their interactions.
It's a beautiful story of starting over and healing. I enjoyed it quite a bit but my favprite in the series is always going to be the first book.
