Obviously as predicted this is my favourite book and my favorite brother out of the Dreamland billionaire series. Not that big of a surprise. Hower this book was not as good as I hoped it would be.

So let me begin, first off Cal is absolutely gourgeous, perfect,pretty, jaw dropping, pantie wetting, hot, amazing, flawless, did I mention absolutely perfect. Without a doubt one of my new favorite book bfs. HOWEVER Lanas character was lacking in many areas. She was sadly a not very well developed and thought out character. The plot was not something you´d never seen before but the addiction aspect was kinda interesting. I can´t really judge if it was written ideally, since I literally don´t know shit about dealing with substance abuse, but I can say that I liked how it was handled in the book.

The town they lived in was INSUFFERABLE, the people were so childish ugh. Cami was really sweet and cool, we like her. I was incredibly positively surprised by Declan, he might actually be not as bad as I thought but in his own book he was the biggest ick and red flag I´d ever seen. Rowan and Zahra as always did not interest anybody in the slightest because they kind of are boring, let´s be honest people. But I´m getting off topic.

Overall this was a pretty mid series, nothing bad per se just easy escapism and very mid vanilla smut.

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.

And so the series comes to an end. Though Callahan seemed very obviously the most likeable brother, he ended up being my least favorite. Not because of his addiction or the challenges he faced but because of how much he hated himself; I guess it rubbed off on me. I really like how the story was wrapped up though the romantic conflict towards the end of the story was too predictable and almost felt copy & pasted in with little changes from the other books. It’s not bad writing, it’s just what I found least interesting about the story. Also Alana, I have a lot to say about her as a character but it’s way too much to write in this review. The book is enjoyable. I didn’t think I’d actually like this series as much as I did. Beautiful ending.
