I knew Chase and Bee’a story would grab my heart, and it definitely did not disappoint. Any girl who’s gone thru what Bee did needs a Chase to help her heal. I’ll never look at tulips the same!! I can’t believe this series is done, I’m going to miss these characters so much!! TW for domestic violence.

This book was the perfect ending to the series. Maggie did an incredible job writing chase and bee's story. Do yourself a favor and read the whole series. Check your triggers this book deals with domestic violence. Maggie did a great job navigating this topic and the healing process.

What a beautiful end to a beautiful series. I have long awaited Chase and Bridget's story, and it exceeded my expectations tenfold. Betting man is impeccably well written, deals with emotional and physical trauma in a respectful and thoughtful way, and brings light to some of the horrors that domestic violence victims and their loved ones face. Chase is patient, warm, and kind. He is steadfast in his love for Bridget even when she believes she doesn't deserve that. And Bridget, with so much healing left to do, is strong, resilient, and incredible. Frequently I was in awe of the ironclad armor both characters had in their own ways. The dynamic between the two of them was so natural, so light, and so comfortable. The surrounding characters, the rest of our beloved Poker Club, all continue to bring light to the story, even after their own love stories are "over" proving once again that the Happily Ever After part is never really the end. This book was sexy, it was smart, it was gentle and it was everything I ever wanted.

This series (and this last book) absolutely wrecked me. I fell so in love with the Poker Club and can’t wait to reread.

I have been so excited for this book! I’ve also been dreading the end of this amazing series!

Bridget has been through hell and has so much healing to do throughout this book and Chase is the perfect amount of understanding when she needs it and pushy when she doesn’t. Chase made me swoon so many times that I may be a puddle on the floor forever as a result!

I’m also not exaggerating when I say this book had me in tears at least 20 times! That’s the highest complement I can give an author, so Maggie deserves all the accolades for how well she writes these character’s emotions!

Maggie, thank you so much for this series and letting us be a part of the Beaufort Poker Club! You have become a automatic purchase author for me so I can’t wait for the next adventure!

I’m speechless! Wow! What a beautiful way to end this series! I’m so sad this series is over, this is by far my most favorite series I’ve ever read! It was so heartfelt, hopeful, sad, romantic, funny, and just absolutely perfect! Maggie is an incredible writer. The way she formed every story to reflect the personality’s of the poker club member was incredible and honestly part of what made this series so magical! The spice was so good too! I just can’t say enough good things! 

This book had some hard stuff in it, but the healing and the love was like nothing else I’ve ever read or felt. It was truly amazing. 

I really wish this turn this into a mini series! Also, can we talk about the authors note at the end…. Is she writing stand-alones? Eekkk i sure hope so! We will have to wait and see. Read this on kindle, but already bought the physical books!
