Cute ending to a great love story. I really felt their love and how they try to do better and be better for each other. I relate to Cam's need for control and was moved by his character arc. The bachelor party and wedding were fun! 💍

Favorite quote:
"And that’s in spite of all your efforts, Mr Control Freak. You can’t bend the universe to your will.”
He scowled. “I can damn well try.”

Mi è piaciuto molto questo libro. Cam è difficile da scalzare con la sua favolosità graffiante e ho amato la sua crescita interiore in questa storia; anche se a tratti avrei voluto scuoterlo un po’, c’è da dire che ha le sue attenuanti. Era giusto vederlo a tuttotondo, e che anche gli altri apprezzassero il suo lato umano. Reuben è un pezzo di pane e un santo paziente, meriterebbe solo amore e abbracci da tutti. La parte corale della trama è deliziosa, sia nei momenti comici sia in quelli più drammatici: amici preziosi e famiglia che supportano e proteggono i nostri eroi nel momento del bisogno. Avrei voluto un epilogo più in là nel tempo, ma forse c’è ancora una finestra per un altro possibile volume e capisco la scelta di Jay.
C'è il giusto mix di dramma e amore, serietà e divertimento irriverente.
Assolutamente consigliato sia questo libro che l’intera serie!

OMG these two certainly got put through the wringer as they headed towards their big. So many things happened to them, not all bad or major, but enough to cause strife and doubts.
Ruben is solid here but it's normally unflappable Cam who needs to learn some uncomfortable truths about himself. He had me grinding my teeth with his blatantinabilityto keep a promise, even if he was doing things for the best of reasons. Does pinky swear mean nothing to this guy?
Great look at the highs and lows of trying to juggle a wedding, rugby, the paps, and a poisonous parent, all the while needing to stay in control.
Loved it. And the narrator was excellent yet again.

I need Jake and Trents story.
And that hairy mountain man Tom needs some serious man love.

Audio: 5 stars, like that is even a surprise with Gary Furlong (can be found on Everand/Scribd)
Book: 4 stars

It was great to see everyone again, this whole cast of Auckland Med men! Even though I read these books out of order (which you can totally do) this one you need to read after at least book 2 haha!

Cam you sweet sassy man, you need to COMMUNICATE with Reuben!! Daha dear god you were going to make me go grey soon with all of your trying to hold the world on your shoulders attitude haha, so glad you were able to see that doesn't need to be the case.

Overall a great ending to an amazing series, I can't wait to have Jake's story and Mac's in the future (if they haven't already come out yet, I haven't checked yet lol)

Amo Cam! Ho un debole per i personaggi come lui. Cam vale da solo metà del libro e penso che non ci siano parole migliori di quelle di Reuben per descriverlo.

"Quello era il Cam che nessuno poteva vedere tranne me, e che molti neppure credevano esistesse: l’affascinante enigma di cui ero perdutamente innamorato. L’uomo sfacciato, feroce, non- faccio- prigionieri ed esigente, ma anche l’amante morbido come il burro, vulnerabile e dal cuore enorme che giaceva proprio sotto la superficie. Cam vedeva quel lato di sé come una debolezza. Sapevo che era la sua parte più preziosa, e mi uccideva il fatto che pensasse di potersi rompere se avesse lasciato che io o qualcun altro si prendesse cura di lui."

Gary Furlong.... Sir? Who gave you the right to be so good? I mean really! Warn a girl next time would you?
Cam/You crying in this was heartbreaking!
Brava sir. Brava.

4.5 stars!
I received an ARC from GRR and this is my honest review.

This book was #SwootCity and I am not ashamed to say that I ignored some #RealLife deadlines to finish reading it. #SorryNotSorry



What I Loved:

1. I want to reiterate that Cam is my #SpiritAnimal. He's strong, fearless and sassy AF. But deep down there is a vulnerability to him that only Ruby, and few chosen others, can see. Cam shows us that sometimes, he can't always be the boss and control the world. I adore him even when he frustrates me to no end. #YouKnowWhatYouDidMister


2. Rueben is my #HoneybunSugarplum. Ruby's character development was AWESOME. He becomes a man worthy of Cam and Cory. A family man who is strong, a partner in everyway that matters. He shows so much progress which makes him that much swoonier. Cam, you will have to learn to share because I love Ruby so! #ILickedHimHesMine


3. The Romance: Let's see... It's sweet without being sappy, swoony without being OTT, real and organic without being forced. Cam and Ruby's relationship is strong and tactile. they are a power couple who take on the world and come out the other side. #StrongerThanYesterday


4. The Side-characters: The found family in this series is simply amazing. They are fun, charming and what true friends should be. They go above and beyond for Cam and Rueben in this book and are pillars of strength that both MCs can lean on. #CircleOfTrust


5. The FEEEEELLSSSS: I won't say why there are so many feels and emotions, because #Spoiler! But I will say that seeing Cam so vulnerable was simultaneously a joy and a sadness. He let his feelings show, whether happy or sad. #DoubleEdgedSword


6. Angst-o-meter: medium angst.. not relationship angst but things that affect the MCs. #PoorBabies


7. Steam-o-meter: Steamy! #YeahBaby


8. The HEA: So sweet. These guys deserve this HEA. #AtLast


Now...
I did have some niggles:
- The endearment baby was used too much for my liking.
- I was frustrated with Cam towards the end of the book, the same time that the story dragged a bit for me.

But... All in all. I love this series and these characters.
