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.

Wow! This book was my favorite of the series by far! Even without the romance aspect, the story itself is so powerful and heart wrenching. If it was possible to give it a million stars I would. This series just kept getting better and better as it went along and I honestly feel like the best was saved for last. If you are in the mood for a second chance romance with perfectly written tension, and toe curling spice, that isn’t afraid to deal with heavier topics, then I highly recommend adding this book to your list.

I was right when I said callahan was the most sane man in this family. in fact, i liked this book more because the family and disney kane company was not as present as it was in the fine print.

it should have been at least 100 pages shorter, still. half of their arguments were NOT necessary

I really, really liked this book! I wish I could read it again. Cal is such a fun brother, but can be a little bit annoying, and Lana is one of my favourites from the series. I was so happy when they all had children and were all happy. When they had the fight it wasn't that bad and I could cope with it. My favourite scenes were; when Cal met Cami, when they finally made out, when they went to Dreamland for Cami's birthday, when he proposed, when they all had children and when Cami asked Cal to adopt her.

I loved Cal so much in the previous books of this series, I can't stress enough how much more I loved him after this book. I loved seeing his problems and how he was held accountable for his bs.

My main complaint about this book was the length. I feel like it could’ve been at least 100 pages shorter but luckily it read fast with the spacing and text conversations. 

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.
