This was a very good short story and I enjoyed reading about Dana being a cop and not just the best friend.

I cannot believe Bea did everything! Killed Shelby, Meredith and kept Delilah in an attic for 11 years. Very good book with a crazy ending!!

This book made up for all the other ones! I loved Hardin and Tessa’s happily ever after, it was nowhere near perfect to get there. I hated their toxicity at first but they finally got it right!
The part about Tessa having a miscarriage broke me, I absolutely felt that!

I can’t seem to enjoy the main characters in this book. Tessa & Hardin are so toxic for each other. Hardin seems like he’s always purposely hurting Tessa. And she takes him back like nothing with no consequences it’s infuriating. But the drama and storyline is good and addicting!
Now we find out Vance is Hardins dad! Wow!

I loved this series!!the ending was perfect. The way the author incorporated the hurricane in this book gave me some kind of feels. I really do feel like everybody loved happy ever after. Huck & Irene, Cash and Tilda, & Baker and Ayers!

This book and series have been very interesting. There is nothing predictable about it.
I was not expecting for the FBI to show up at Irene’s Villa and take both homes. It really sucks for her that her husband left her in such a mess. In this book I really dislike Rosie and Russ.

Ughhh the two get on my nerves but I love the drama/story line. I do like the story. The writing is somewhat good and somewhat repetitive. I like that the books end in a cliffhanger and not necessarily have happy endings unlike every other basic love story. Hardin and Tessa are so toxic together. The story line is addicting. You just have to know what happens next and it always leaves off on a cliffhanger.

Im really enjoying Leland as a lawyer and how he fights for the innocence of people. He seems like a really good lawyer! Looking forward to book 3! Im really hoping somehow Leland and Terry end up together.
