Stanton Completely by T.L. Swan
5.0

Wow. I do not even know how to start this review. Other book friends of mine were saying the third book in this trilogy was the best as it was a roller coaster and unpredictable - And they were surely right!

**If you have not read the previous two books, I do not recommend reading the rest of this review in case I do accidentally give away a spoiler**

This story lifts off right where the sequel left us hanging. The Stanton boys are confused. Are they brothers? Who is a real Stanton? The first half of this book follows the family drama as they put the pieces together. I enjoyed finally getting some answers and enjoyed even more seeing Joshua & Natasha working through it all together as best they could. I especially squealed when Joshua finally made their relationship permanent ;)

As the family drama starts to fade and Josh & Natasha enter a happy in love zone, the past keeps coming back to bite them which leads to a horrid accident where Natasha's life is on the line and Joshua ends up in a very dark place. I can't say too much without giving it away but it gave me real "mafia" vibes and I lost sleep reading on to see who would make it and what would happen. It was full of unpredictable action and one side character does lose their life.

The final book in this trilogy definitely was my favourite and I will happily give it 5 stars, for not just the writing and editing being more than subpar, but for the story plot! It was such a good way to end the final book and I can't wait to read the novella epilogue to see how Natasha & Joshua are going after handling such intense situations in this story.

ps. yes they get their HEA and it is beautiful.
