A review by charlsys8
Final Offer by Lauren Asher

4.0

First and foremost, no romance book should be this long. It doesn't matter who the author is or how skilled they are, I repeat no romance book should be this long.

With that said, there is no doubt in my mind that this is the best book in the series. Yep, I said it.

‘The Fine Print’, which I gave 3 stars, simply can't compete with this book and ‘Terms and Conditions’, a book I enjoyed way more than ‘The Fine Print’, and one that has arguably the best plot and FMC in the series, pales slightly in comparison to this book, not greatly, but slightly, not to Iris' fault (*side-eyes Declan*). The book shockingly (yes, I really thought I was going to give it a 3 star and just go on with my day but still hold the belief that 'Terms and Conditions' was the best book in the series) is the best book in the series and I'm very glad Lauren Asher chose to write this book last, as to me I think it's the perfect conclusion to the Dreamland Billionaires series.

The best thing about this book and the reason I gave it a solid 4 star rating is that I simply enjoyed it, something I haven't done in a while when it comes to adult romance.

This book worked for me in a lot of ways. One, the sense of family and the way the couples (Zahra and Rowan + Iris and Declan) interacted in certain moments, which made me like the characters a little more than I did when I first read their books. Second, how Cal didn't feel entirely new to me in the sense that he was the same Cal I liked in the two previous books, in spite of the fact that he was battling his own demons when it came to his addiction. Third, how Cal and Alana's (as well as Cami's) interactions were enjoyable, which led to me liking them both equally, something I haven't been able to do with the other couples in the series. Lastly, the epilogue and bonus epilogue were *chef’s kiss*.

With this book, Lauren Asher did her thing. My only complaint about this book is its length, and I didn't get the 5-star feeling as I usually do after reading a book I deem 5-star.

The series itself, though, I'm not certain I would recommend since I think it falls somewhere between being a 3/3.5 star trilogy for me. Certainly not amazing, but not that bad that I wouldn't recommend it. To describe the series, I would use the words 'perfectly fine' or 'decent'.

The series as a whole (and how I would rank the couples):

Final Offer —>4/5
Terms and Conditions —> 3.5/5
The Fine Print —> 3/5
