Finished this one today and if this is truly the final book in the series, I'm happy on how it ended. But......if I had a say, I'd want at least two more books.

I think of all 3 books, the suspense of this one was the strongest. The bad guy from book 2 is back and looking for revenge but mainly is obsessed with Bobbie Faye and trying to kidnap her for his own sick pleasure while getting back at Trevor knowing he took the woman Trevor loves. I think the humor is definitely tamped down in this one but I still felt like the story moved right along. I wanted to know what happened asap so I read any chance I got.

One of the big things in this book are the sneak peeks into Trevor's background and those little glimpses are like fuel to a happy reader's fire. I want to see what happens at Bobbie Faye's first meeting with Trevor's family. I want to see what kind of trouble she could get in while planning their wedding. I want to know what kind of relationship she'd have with Riles since he's pretty much Trevor's best friend yet she and Riles are like oil & water. I also want to see what happens with Bobbie Faye and her own best friend, Nina, since finding out about Nina's secret life. I want to see Cam finally let her go and find someone - maybe Nina.

But.....if this is the final book, I am good with how it ended and in the end that's all I can ask for - to leave as a happy reader.

I would probably have liked this one more if the Bad Luck vs Bad Ass angle had come up before page 115 -- or if I'd read the first one (or the second) before this one and started out with that idea. Not realizing the main character had a bad luck issue, all the burned down buildings and gun fights that were brought up felt like bragging and someone a little too full of themselves. But I did still keep reading despite that, so it obviously had something even then. (If the author, editor, or publisher happens upon this: that's a good detail to bring up on the back cover for the newbies -- bad luck. Really, it changes the whole tone of the book.)

I will probably keep this one and re-read once I've collected the first two.
