A cute ending to a cute series, but this book was just too cute and sweet for me. And OMG the SHEER AMOUNT of pregnancy in this book is beyond words. So. Many. Babies. I lost track. 

A few small things: 
- It didn’t feel like Henry’s gift was integrated into his relationship in the way other hero’s were. 
- hearing Clara speak her mind and have a bit of a cheeky side was great, but I wished she had a bigger role in this book besides “Henry’s cheerleader”
- It was really a “sunshine and sunshine” romance, rather than a “sunshine and grumpy person” romance. 

All in all, there’s nothing wrong with this book, especially if you like super romantic, lovey dovey novels. It just wasn’t for me. I do like this author and will read more of her books if she writes them.

I can't believe it's the end of the Stay a Spell series! I've been anticipating this book for years as Clara and Henry's story has been hinted at so much in the previous books and I'm so glad we've finally got it. I loved reading about them and especially getting to know Henry. Their sunshine/grumpy dynamic was lovely to see and I loved how well they matched each other. Another great story in the series, with all the cuteness mixed in with witty banter, wonderful interactions with the rest of the Savoie extended clan and lots of spice. I just love how much we see everyone in these books - the vast cast of characters that we see across the whole series repeatedly are what make the series so special to me. 
That epilogue! It was perfect and made me tear up because of the love and finality of it all. I loved seeing where everyone ended up and the last moment with the sisters was just a perfect way to end. I loved each of them and their story and I'm so sad it's finally all done. Such a wonderful series that I can definitely see myself rereading!
