Amazing end to an amazing series
Ah! What else can I say about this book.. This one was a real tear jerker and it went over some really hard subjects. But oh man, was this one worth it! I didn't even realize Richard & Katy were getting a 3rd book. Such a fitting end for them and I am so happy to have gotten another snippet into their lives.
Buy this book if you've read the other two! You won't regret it.

Tava indo tudo muito bem... Aí virou novela do SBT.
É uma história bonita de superação, que retrata bem a importância do amor e do apoio da família... Mas foi tudo muito dramático, não era bem a leitura que eu estava esperando nessa série. Gostei, mas não amei.

Ze začátku to vypadalo slibně, vážně, ale ve finále se autorce podařilo poměrně slibnou knihu úplně zničit.
Spoiler
Nevím tedy, jaké představy má autorka, ale kdybych se probrala z komatu a zjistila, nejspíš budu do konce života na vozíčku, tak bych se k lidem okolo sebe chovala mnohem hůř než Richard. A doufám, že by to lidé okolo mě brali lépe, než postavy v téhle knize, kdy měl být Richard očividně tím největším optimistou na světě.leisaann's review against another edition

Man oh man what a story! And I thought I loved Richard and Katy before! I’m not going to give anything away but if you’ve read The Contract then this is an absolute must read. The boys of BAM show up in this book too which made me incredibly happy. One word of warning....you probably shouldn’t read the last half of the book in public and you will need Kleenex. So much love for this book!

Very good book
This book starts loud it starts sad but then gets happier. it ends pretty well and The ending is pretty surprising. I can't wait to read more books from this author.

Having enjoyed and adored both The Contract and then The Baby Clause, I knew that I had to read the next in Richard and Katy’s story, The Amendment. But I was also apprehensive. In my head, Richard, Katy and their family are happy - did I really want to read about a problem in their marriage that could destroy them? I mean, I knew it would be alright in the end but did I want that trauma in my life? I decided to suck it up and just go for it.
As you can tell, this book is not a standalone. You have to have read The Contract before this one or you will have no background on Richard and Katy, or what they went through to find each other. You’ll also be missing out on a fantastic story.
For the first while in this story, all is right in Richard and Katy’s lives. It’s fantastically well written as while we revel in the joy of how happy our couple are, you know something big is coming and that gives you that tension of just waiting. Waiting for that other shoe to drop.
And when it drops - even though you know it’s coming - it still packs an emotional punch. While Katy particularly, deals with the aftermath, it was emotional and I found myself sympathising so acutely with her that I found myself weeping on occasion. But then again, I am a bit of a watering pot!
In the end, the barriers that have to be overcome are more mental than physical, and the estrangement between our couple doesn’t last as long as I had feared. But having our pair come back together was still hard won and so sweet I nearly starting crying all over again. Katy and Richard truly are meant to be - and I loved every second of them.
For those who’ve read the BAM books (which I have yet to) Maddox, Bentley and Aidan make appearances in this one as they come to the aid of a broken Richard. They bantered and bickered and I now know what my next series is going to be.
We get more of Katy’s point of view in this story than we did in The Contract. While that’s fine in terms of the story, I did find that the narrator, Tatiana Sokolov, had quite a peculiar cadence to her speech. At times it sounded strangely robotic. Nothing that made it too difficult to listen to and it definitely did get better the more I listened.
John Lane narrates the role of Richard and that man could read ANYTHING and I would swoon with giddy glee. Deep, dark and raspy - he was Richard and I was half in love with the man (Richard or John - either will do) before he’d even uttered a full paragraph.
If you’ve read The Contract, you really must read The Amendment, too. Don’t be a feardy gowk like I was - it’s definitely worth it to have more of Richard, Katy and their wonderful family and friends. Definitely 5 stars.

The Amendment changes the contract in which Richard Van Ryan's unusual agreement with Katharine Elliott. At first, Richard has nothing but himself; then, he finds himself caring and loving Katy; together, they start a family. The Van Ryan's have two incredible girls, Gracie and Heather, and working with Graham is going very well. Richard gets promoted, earns awards for his work, and is now responsible Vice President. A tragic accident can destroy all his happiness, bringing back the nasty Richard. I love how Melanie Moreland connects the story with BAM, and it's all coming together.
