Another win from Chloe Liese. I absolutely loved this final book in the Wilmot Sisters series. It’s heartwarming and oh so lovely. I love Jules and Will so so much.

ARC REVIEW:
I wanted to love this book but parts of it just fell flat. It was okay. Not bad, not great. It was cute and I liked the characters.

The MCs were definitely loosely based on the author and her husband and I don’t have a problem with that. For a debut novel, it was fine. It was a lot of tell not show. Allll throughout the book. It was just description after description after description and the writing style was just not my favorite.

ARC REVIEW: This dual timeline, second chance book tugged on my heart strings constantly throughout. I ached for Riley as he was grieving and also trying to process his ex best friend with benefits being around after 12 years. I also felt for Adam as he was coming to terms with the fact that he lived a lie for the first 40 years of his life. Their past was truly heartbreaking because you can tell there was love there but so much denial on Adam’s behalf that he didn’t want to even try to reciprocate the feelings to Riley. I am so glad that there was so much communication in this book. These adult men, while both extremely sensitive to things that were happening, Riley especially, were able to break down the barriers and have meaningful conversations and work through everything together. This is beautiful and I absolutely love the execution of the dual timeline.

ARC REVIEW: I loved this 3rd installment in the Evergreen Park series. Harper and Wes are absolute perfection. The premise of this story going back to revenge roots and getting DEEP into Harper’s Reputation Era is something that had me laughing SO HARD at their antics. Morgan writes petty revenge like no other and it always hits. As for Wes, he was down bad from the beginning and seeing this side of him compared to what we saw in All My Love was so amazing. He is the perfect balance to Harper and I love their childfree representation as well! ALSO, being up front about that was a huge breath of fresh air. I love that I can always count on ME for that from the get go. This was another hit from Morgan Elizabeth and I cannot wait for what comes next!!
