Reviews with content warning for Alcoholism - Final Offer

Definitely my another favorite summer book where the story involves cal completing the task left to him by his grandfather to receive his inheritance, the final book of Dreamland billionaires series.

Honestly, there are so many little moments of cal, lana and cami together that were just so adorable and heart melting 🥺😖 those are my favorite part of the book aaand I'm so proud of cal for getting over with his addiction to alcohol, 😤 loove him sm.

I loved reading this book soo much and seeing Rowan and Declan with love of their lives Zahara and Iris brought nostalgic memories and ultimate comfort.

I was surprised by how much I disliked this one, especially in comparison to the earlier books. But I just truly hated Lana’s character.

She isn’t communicative, but expects people to tell her things or else it’s “betrayal”. She refuses to listen when people do try to explain things and then is upset when she finds out about it later.

My biggest issue though, is how everyone treats Cal terribly for frankly the flimsiest reason I’ve ever read. It’s a lose lose situation for him - if he hadn’t left they’d have hated him for staying and not letting Lana do her own thing. The lack of empathy was truly disgusting and I think said A LOT about the authors perspective on addiction. It did not sit well with me and came across as a dangerously naive story to tell.

Wyatt in particular made me want to throw my e-reader at a wall. I’m supposed to root for the friendship of cop that intentionally incited violence? Fuck that. He abused his power and the story called it a joke.

I know it’s “just smut” but even that wasn’t good enough in this book to make up for how it handled addiction as a main element of the story.

The only reason I gave it 1 star is because of the updates to the previous books characters. I don’t think I’ll be reading any more books by this author.

Are you a sucker for second chance romances, working on oneself, and respecting the boundaries of others while in a work-in-progress relationship? Do you like wholesome families that are based both on blood and commitment? If the answer is yes, you'll eat this one up!

"Falling in love with yourself is ten times harder than falling in love with someone else, especially when I don't like myself very much."

—Callahan

This book is a solid read that addresses many sensitive topics (

addiction, trust issues, emotionally abusive parents

...) respectfully. The characters are well-rounded and multidimensional, and I'm glad we'll continue to get peeks into their lives even after this Dreamland Billionaires series, since they have cameos as side characters in Asher's newest series Lakefront Billionaires that takes place at the location of this book, Lake Wisteria.

There was a lot to love here and this is definitely my favourite of the series. It did, however, drag on a few hundred pages more than it needed to. I understand the journey required for these characters but I think it would have packed more of a punch if it was trimmed down

It was also hard not to be irritated with Alana at times. But seeing what she went through with her sister makes her reactions understandable. I also loved how hard she worked to protect Cami

Speaking of Cami, her relationship with Cal (or Cow-l)was hands down the best part of this book. They were the absolute sweetest and I loved all of their interactions , especially the card she made and her hustling him for the swear jar

I also loved how everything wrapped up for the trilogy as a whole. A satisfying ending for sure
