This is a super sweet relationship with more of a fast burn since the two characters already are really into each other.
I didn't love the last part of the book just because it had a *surprise* trope that I didn't enjoy. It is the last book in the series, and the ending felt a little over the top with the happiness of the whole family, not just this couple.

After finally finishing out this series, I've come to the conclusion that I've out grown Cross's writing. I loved the first three of this series when I was new to Kindle Unlimited and reading indie romance, but I struggled through books 4,5, & 6 (with 6 being the one I enjoyed most of the three). It saddens me that I wasn't more into the story since I found Henry and Clara very adorable in the first half of the book, but by the end I was skimming because I'd lost interest. For me, the romance storylines were not balanced enough with the mystery/secondary plot line. I wish Henry's depression and anxiety hadn't been treated like something to simply spell away (literally gave it a band aid fix instead of working through any issues and how this has been a lifelong struggle for him) and I was downright angry for him that those who supposedly loved him most kept insisting he should forgive his father for his childhood trauma. I just expect more nuance from authors on these topics now and those were two glaring points that I cannot gloss over. There was no healing journey or even real attempt to make a relationship with henry and his dad, really just an attitude that Henry should 'be over it by now' and 'grow up'--which is not how trauma or mental health works.
Perhaps if real world applications do not bother you as they do me this will be a more enjoyable read for you. I have a hard time removing myself from real world issues and applications the more contemporary a book is.

The back half of the book was a bit of a punch in the ovaries for me, which I both love and struggled with.
I couldn't have hoped for a better ending for the Savoie sisters. I certainly hope for the occasional check in with these amazing characters, because I just love everything about the whole family so much. It's bittersweet to say goodbye!
