The “surprise I’m pregnant!” epilogue in 3 of the 5 books was lazy and annoying

What a beautiful ending to this beautiful series 😭 I've been waiting for Law's story since book 1 and this delivered!

Law and Hallie are so so perfect and I'm so happy they found eachother. They were both so sweet with the boys too 🥹 Big probs to Cowles for not only writing >10 y/os but teenagers and also writing them well, as a bigger sister to a 17 y/o boy, I can confirm the accuracy.

I found this series at a very dark and weird place in my life (in the hospital xoxo) and while things aren't perfect now, they're better and I'm so glad these books were there for me during it. The Hartleys definitely found their way into my heart ❤

P.S.: I feel like I can't really rate this book lower because of it (bc every romance has it) but jfc, does EVERY couple in EVERY romance have to end up w kids 🙃

This was the perfect ending to this series.  There was a lot of build up in the series for Lawson’s story and it delivered. Every book in this series was awesome and so well written. This book had suspense that had me scared (there may have been a nightmare) and heartwarming family moments that literally had me crying.
I also totally called the villain since the last book - I knew I didn’t trust him. I love being right and my smugness is totally showing.
Now I can’t wait for the next series.

“It’s you, Blue. You’re the one who bought me out of the ashes. It’s always been you.”

This follows Hallie 25 who went through a horrific situation five years ago and ever since then has dealt with a lot of trauma and trying to heal. But everything changes when she moves to a small town and nanny’s for a police chief named Lawson who is 38 and his three boys between the ages of 6 and 16. 

Please be mindful of the contents and themes. I have listed them below. I will say this book is one of my favourites in the series. I appreciate the plot twist of who was responsible for all the harm. I loved the Single dad and his son’s element. Love Charlie and Luke. I loved how we got to see Luke grow in this book and also have a protective side. Don’t get me wrong I like Drew but if I hear Bruh one more time I’ll lose my mind which leads me to find his character was a little repetitive. Like I've said previously if I were a woman in this small town I would leave immediately as you're a target. 

I will say the audiobook was brilliant with Ava and Sebastian work well together. Highly recommend the audiobook.
