Cal was my favourite brother in books 1 and 2 and I really thought for the first 300 pages that he had been done dirty in this book!
Up to page 300, the plot felt lacking, the ex and town were insufferable and it was making me dislike the book. Glad I pushed through to the end as I enjoyed Cal’s character development/ redemption and how well addiction was represented. The book also rounded off the series well.
Cami and Cal probably ended up being my two favourite characters of the book.

The main characters were childhood best friends, which progressed eventually, and then when adulthood got a little too hard and the MMC (Cal) adapted some unhealthy coping mechanisms, it ended for them. 6 years later they meet again. But wait, now there’s a kid involved. And Cal is at risk to lose not only his whole inheritance but potentially be liable for his brothers losing everything they’ve worked for and sacrificed for also. It was a roller coaster between business, addiction and sobriety, parenthood, family, love, growth, flashbacks, among other things.
The way it was written made it so easy to envision everything going on and feel invested in the whole Kane family overall. I loved the way the whole series tied together, especially at the end of this book with the epilogues so you can envision what their lives looked like a few years into the future.
It was giving second chance romance with a little slow burn, sprinkle in some groveling from a rich billionaire and it’s easily a 4 star read. I did connect to the characters just not as much as I did in the second book so between that and again, the length I felt wasn’t quite necessary, it just wasn’t quite a 5 star for me.
