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.

"Falling in love with yourself is ten times harder than falling in love with someone else, especially when I don't like myself very much."
This book is a solid read that addresses many sensitive topics (

This was a good end to the trilogy. It was interesting to see how the sensitive nature of alcoholism was felt with. There were good side characters and the small town feel was decent.
Over all I was just glad that the series wasn’t longer. Any more and it would have felt too drawn out.
The rival home buyer gave a foreshadowing snippet into the next series.
It made me laugh that in this day and age we have to have the standard set to billionaire romance in order to have people afford what a millionaire romance was just a few years ago. Just a funny observation

Asher’s depiction of alcoholism is well researched and written with respect for those who struggle with substance abuse.
Alana is a woman after my own heart with her love of baking. I respect her need to put Cami before anyone else, even Cal’s need to get sober.
What can I say? I’m a sucker for a golden retriever boy and a happy ending.
