I absolutely loved this book. I loved Cal and Alana's journey back to each other. 

I enjoyed the fact that Alana made Cal work for it when it came to getting her back. A lot of books would have the characters getting back together in the first few chapters, but they didn't in this book, and it worked out really well that they didn't.

But you can also tell Cal only ever had good intentions when it came to Alana. I really liked that Cal knew he wasn't any good for Alana until he got help, and knew he wasn't ready to get help so he did the best thing by Alana and left, even though it hurt both of them to do so.

I do think the way the town treated Cal was a bit over the top, but I know small towns are like that and they protect their people. And you can see that while Cal hated being treated that way by everyone he was once close to, he understood their reasons and set out to prove to everyone not just Alana that he wasn't out to hurt her again.

I also really loved the bond that Cal had with Alana's daughter Cami. It was really sweet to see them interact. And camo was just the sweetest little girl and so funny. The story wouldn't have been the same without Cami.

So overall I really enjoyed this final book in the trilogy and would absolutely recommend.

Gosh, Lauren Asher never fails to amaze me with her characters and their story. Following the Kane brothers through Dreamland and their journeys, I'm so sad that its over! Saving Cal till the end was a great choice. I think he had the most personal growth that was needed, and he pushed himself to be a better man. Not just for Alana, but for himself.
