Last Round by Charity Ferrell

The beginning of Charity's books always make me laugh, smile, and basically spit out whatever beverage I happen to be drinking at the time (okay, it's usually wine). Aside from knowing better to drink while reading her books, Charity's fantastically witted writing is one of the fabulous reasons I fell in love with her books and will continue to read them for years to come.

Silas and Lola are quick witted and unfortunatly friend-zoned one another almost upon meeting. However, it makes for tons of sassy banter and quirky comebacks I absolutely adore, plus it allowed for years of pent of chemistry that made this book angsty while we waited for them to practically all but combust in flames of passion. 

Last Round is sadly the final book in this series, but overall it was a huge win for Charity Ferrell. The story was beautifully woven together with a great timeline that was not only a tribute to the series, but allowed each couple from Twisted Fox their own unique and special time to shine. If you've been here from the beginning it's no secret that Silas and Lola have been friends, but this book takes us on the journey of how that all takes place, right alongside how each one of their friends also fell in love. 

For all the fun Charity puts in her books, and I'll circle back to why I fell in love with her writing to begin with, there is a lot of fun...she also never forgets to include all the feels and hard times that truly bring her couples together. Last Round wraps up a great series and I look forward to the next journey.

THE SLOWEST BURN

Seriously the slowest burn everr. I have been waiting for Lola and Silas story since book 1!!! Totally not what I expected but made so much sense. Of course the two most outgoing and non affected people are the most broken. When they finally got together I swear I seen fireworks and stars!! Finally!!!!

The last and final book in the twisted fox series. But it showed pre order for another book that will be Jax and Amelia’s story. Jax is Maliki and Sierras son and Amelia is Silas and Lola’s daughter. Yeah you heard that right Silas and Amelia finally got their heads out of their asses and ended up together. This book bounces in POV between Silas and Lola. We have known about their friendship from all of the other books in the series but in this book we get to see the behind the scenes. Lola, Grace and Georgia came to the bar that Silas and Cohen worked at together and Silas was immediately drawn to Lola. He heard her say that she had been giving out her exes number to people and he was intrigued. When he asked for her number he fell for it and called Lola’s ex Callum. When she came back to the bar he called her out for it. And when he overheard her say she needed a date for her dads event he volunteered to be her fake date. He found out Lola works for 21st ammendment which is a high end liquor distributor and her ex Callum also works there. Silas got to meet her ex and dad on the same night. But the date went well. Lola expected him to either ditch, it to go awful, or for him to try to sleep with her but he did none of those things. They formed a friendship. Any time Lola needed someone Silas was her person. Lola never understood how much she didn’t know about Silas until her birthday. Every year on her birthday Silas ditches and she never understands. He goes to everyone else’s but always makes an excuse on hers. We know there is some reason he can’t stand her birthday but it hasn’t been fully explained yet. Only that Silas tells Lola he would destroy her and they could never be more than friends. They crossed that line a little bit. At Archers grandfathers lake house Silas fingered her into an orgasm and then went to the kitchen and left while she was sleeping leaving Lola even more confused on what just happened. Archer convinced Silas to go to Lola’s birthday. She didn’t think he’d show so she had gotten trashed and was giving Silas a lap dance when she asked him to fuck her and he didn’t know how to react and didn’t think so when he stood up. It threw Lola on her ass on the floor on her birthday and embarrassed her in front of all of her friends. She asks Silas to leave and then his step brother Trent shows up. We sense the tension between the two and Silas tries to keep Trent from seeing Lola. When he does he offers to buy her a drink. Lola walks away with Trent. Silas ends up leaving. Lola and Trent talk for hours about anything and everything and she gives him her number. Silas apologizes to Lola but she tells him she needs more she needs to understand why he hates her birthday but he isn’t ready to give that to her. Silas can feel his and Lola’s relationship falling apart. He has been so scared of losing Lola’s friendship that he would never pursue her farther. Because she’s the most important person in his life he couldn’t stand to ever lose her. Trent and Lola have hung out a few times but he’s been a gentleman. He invites her to a charity event with his family claiming Silas won’t be there that he never attends. But this time he does. And he snaps. Lola has gotten bits and pieces of the tension between Trent and Silas she knows it has something to do with a Kenny and a Sienna but that’s all she knows. Trent says something that fills Silas with rage and they begin to fight. Before Silas leaves he breaks his sobriety and downs the rest of Lola’s drink. Her and Trent go uostairs to calm down and Cassidy calls and says that Silas is at the bar pounding vodka and she needs to get there. Trent drives her and Silas goes crazy. Trent leaves and Silas tried to go for a walk but Lola follows him. He tells her he knows he needs to explain everything but he needs to calm down. Cohen takes Lola home and a few hours later Silas is ready to talk and he has Cohen take him to Lola’s. She cleans his face and blood from the fight and he tells her everything. His best friend when he was 18 was Kenny. Kenny’s younger sister was Sienna. He had always been a bad boy and a player but at 18 years old he believed he was in love with Sienna. But they hid their relationship from Kenny. Sienna kept begging him to just tell Kenny but Silas was so worried it would change everything. On the same date as Lola’s birthday they were all at a party and Kenny came upstairs with some other guys and they pulled Silas off Sienna and Kenny left with her. He heard Kenny tell Trent thanks for the heads up man. Trent had told Kenny what Silas and Sienna were doing. Silas took off in his car to meet Kenny and Sienna to try and explain but it was too late he watched Kenny take a curve too fast and crash the car and burn Kenny and Sienna alive right in front of him. He felt like a murderer. This whole time he believed if he let Lola love him he would kill her just like he killed Sienna that he’s unlovable. Sienna and Kenny’s parents banned him from the funeral. He sat in the car drinking a bottle of vodka when her cousin said he didn’t deserve to be allowed to numb his pain. And Silas took that to heart and vowed not to drink anymore because he didn’t deserve to numb his pain. But seeing Lola with Trent broke him he couldn’t stand to see her with him and realize he was going to lose her but he couldn’t numb his feelings for her. He tells Lola he loves her and she is his everything. Lola tells Silas that if anything that was Kenny’s fault not his and he can’t blame himself and that she loves him with all her being. Silas and Lola have sex for the first time and it was magical. As it always is in these books. Silas and Lola let the group know they’re together. And they all say about time. The whole group is all coupled up. Jamie and Cohen have had their baby. Grace and Finn have their baby. Cassidy and Lincoln have their baby. Lola, Silas, archer and Georgia are in a race to see who gets pregnant next. Silas and Lola win but Archer and Georgia are close behind. Archer and Georgia had a beautiful wedding. Silas has a ring but was waiting for the right time and knew Lola didn’t want to be pregnant. So 3 years after they have their daughter Amelia they get married. The book goes to 12 years after everyone was pregnant. And that’s when we find out when they got married, who all has babies. Sierra and Maliki have a son, Jax. Cohen and Jamie have a son Theo and their Noah. Silas and Lola have Amelia. Archer and Georgia had twins a boy and a girl. Finn and Grace had a girl to give Millie a little sister. Cassidy and Lincoln have 2 a boy and a girl. Lincoln, Silas and Finn were asked to be part owners of Twisted fox. Lola became president of 21st amendment but realized she didn’t want that responsibly and passed it on to Robbie I believe that’s her brother. At the end of the book they’re betting on who Amelia will marry someday. Georgias money is on Jax and Amelia because they can’t stand each other now and this is when we find out that there is a spin off series of their children and it’s Jax and Amelia’s story. So even more exciting we get to keep watching their family grow. This one was called the last round for a few reasons. At one point Lola quoted “as soon as the door clicks shut, the tears pour down my cheeks as if they were at the surface, waiting to find out Silas next move. He chose the cold shoulder. Silas is choosing to break us. I’m scared our relationship is on its last round and we’re going to lose.” But then at the end of the book she quotes “Silas and I might have been the last to get to our happily ever after. To admit we loved each other. But sometimes the last round means everything” Silas and Lola were the last round of friends to end up together. They connected them all. I loved this book and I can’t wait to read about their kids and the Beech series that’s the other spin off.

This is the fifth book in the Twisted Fox series and it was everything I wanted. I have been waiting for Silas and Lola’s story and it didn’t disappoint. Charity wrote the perfect friends to enemies to lovers tale. I don’t want to spoil anything so I’ll just say that I have felt invested in these characters since early on in the series and this book gave me exactly what I wanted.

I knew within the first 5 pages that Lola and Silas were going to be my favorite TF couple, and I was 10000% right!

I had the pleasure to beta read Last Round, and I seriously fell in love with the story from the very start. Lola was always a fav of mine through-out this series (really all the heroines are amazing), and so I was eager to read her and Silas' story. Lola and Silas go through hell and back with each other, never giving up on their friendship and love for one another. They are seriously my favvvvvvv. Last Round has all the goodies.... angst, funny as hell banter, all the sexiness, and of course the amazing Twisted Fox crew!

This series is not one to be missed! Also, THOSE COVERS *heart eyes*

I have loved this series from the start and Last Round was the perfect ending.

This book took us through Silas and Lola's story from the very beginning. We saw glimpses of their friendship but never behind the scenes and now everything makes perfect sense. I loved their friendship and them as a couple even more. Great ending to this series!

Charity Ferrell knocked it out of the park with this highly emotional series finale. Last Round is an emotion packed novel about Silas and Lola who have been friends for a very long time but were both to scared to admit their feelings for eachother.
Especially Silas who has been through so much in the past and doesn‘t think he is capable of being what Lola needs.

Silas and Lola‘s story is slow and heartbreaking. I just couldn‘t put it down because I needed them to get their happy ending!
I seriously love this series and these characters!
