O my gosh, this was the best ending for an amazing series. I’m shocked and absolutely blown away by this story and the epilogue!

Lily has been missing for a long time, disappearing in Chase and Lee’s story. We don’t know what happened to her, other then Chase hires a PI to find her. At the end of Jax’s book, Mason let’s Chase know he found her….but Lily and Mason’s story begins before Mason let’s Chase know where she was…

Lily is such a broken character, and her story with addiction and how she pulled herself together for her son was inspiring. She’s such a strong mom, doing whatever she needs to to protect her baby. At first, I thought her leaving Sugarlake was selfish, and not going back when she found out she was pregnant, but once she goes go back, I understood right away why she was afraid to go home, and I think she was right in her decision to run to Arizona.

Mason is exactly the man that Lily and baby Chase deserve. He’s strong, sexy, a protector for them, but he’s broken too, after years of being trapped in a miserable home. When he was younger, his life takes an unexpected turn, so he walks away, just leaving it all behind.
But as always, the past has a way of catching up to our favorites!

O my goodness, the chemistry between these two is hot hot hot, and lord have mercy, it’s steamy! But I love that Mason understands what Lily needs after so many years of trauma, and he’s willing to be that for her.
As we see Mason and Baby Chase’s relationship develop, I was sold on Mason. If a man can treat a little boy he hasn’t known very long like his own, he’s a good man.

There’s so much happening in this story, but everything happened for a reason, and in the end, that epilogue was everything!

I highly recommend this series, they’re all such different stories of real life struggles and so well written!
