Finding Hayes by Laura Pavlov
5.0

This was the perfect ending to this series! I’ve become so emotionally attached to this group of characters (but I think I always do with Laura’s books!) I never wanted it to end (I’m going for a second generation series with our boy beefcake please Laura!!) the bond between this group of friends shone so brightly throughout but I felt like Laura tied it all together perfectly in Hayes and Savannah’s story.

This was such a well written marriage of convenience, I loved the history the Savannah and Hayes shared and how they worked through their misunderstanding that causes them to be a part for a decade. Even though Savannah was the one who would gain the most from their arrangement I loved that she went above and beyond to try and help Hayes benefit from it too.

I also really appreciated that although there definitely some miscommunication, it comes from their younger selves and doesn’t affect the relationship they develop as adults, they work through it and Laura really showed the broody, grumpy Hayes for the big softy we knew he was going to be! Savannah was so likeable as she stood her ground on so much and also always looked out for Hayes even when she hadn’t truly forgiven him, her strong sense of family really showed how easily she’d fit in with the ROD crew!

As usual Beefcake stole the show with his hard hitting and incredibly valid points and the love that pours out of him for everyone his life! I love that he had no hesitation adding Savvy to his girls and taking every opportunity he got to talk up his Uncle Hayes and make sure Savannah knew how great he was! Laura gets me every time with her text exchanges, and this group of friends were no different, their w]banter and love for one another made this series so incredible and I’m so glad they all got their happily ever after!

You’ll love this too if you love
