What a fantastic ending to this series. I have to say that Hudson is #1 on my dirty talker list!! Whew, the spice these two had left my Kindle on fire. 

I loved seeing the character growth in both Hudson and Caroline. Hudson, finding his purpose in giving back to the kids, especially Wren, was perfect. Not to mention the forced proximity to Caroline at the rink, who was interning there. The swooniness of Hudson was off the charts. The way he knew her and she saw him just really added a depth to their relationship, and I loved watching them both discover it.

Whew!! This book was steamy!! I loved it. They gentle way that Asher introduced the world of sex to Auden was so sweet. Not to mention, the way he took Alex under his wing was just heart-warming. The love that all three of them love each other is just so pure. 

After getting pregnant at 15 & being kicked to the curb by her parents, Aiden had to grow up quickly to take care of both her and Alex. The way Auden sacrifices for her son is inspiring. 

Asher is drawn to both Alex & Auden before he even knew they were mother & son. His quiet & gentle demeanor was exactly what they both needed. Alex as a father figure & Auden to rediscover who she is  & not just a mom.

Great way to wrap up Emery & Grahams story. I just can't get over Graham's selfless heart and the love he has for his girls. This was a perfect example of a true partnership.

I loved the representation of post pardum with Emery and the new mom having to go back to work. That is such a big hurdle for any new parent. The Scorecard and The Final Score really were great examples about putting family first.

I knew with Grahams reputation from earlier books that he'd be super sexy. And the way he doted on Olive, I knew he'd be baby crazy.

Seeing the non-playboy side of Graham was an eye opener, and the way he felt about Emery was every girl's dream. The way he reacted to the scorecard was hilarious.

Emery is such a great representation of the planner, career driven, independent woman. I loved seeing how Graham changed her world and made her realize that what she had "planned" may not be what was best for her. 

The chemistry these two had from the fighting to the bedroom was off the charts. They really did compliment each other beautifully. But way to leave us hanging with that twist!!

Oh, what a great book. Briggs just took hold of my heart from the very beginning. I could tell in book 1 that he was broken, but this book just flayed my chest open for him. Maddison & Briggs were made for each other. I loved how each of them grew to be better people in their own ways.

After losing trust in his brother and another scandal hits the media, Briggs heads to the lake to escape. Enter Maddison, who is also struggling. Deciding to be strangers for the weekend turns in Olive 9 months later. They have to navigate feelings, secrets and become new parents together. Truly a great book.

You had me at small town and hockey! It is a great story about two lost souls who find each other in the middle of nowhere. Love the reverse grumpy sunshine angle here. 

This story is full of family & love. The Easterly family is definitely one I would live to be a part of. And the Chisolm family taking in Colton just shows the love they have for him. 

Both Autumn & Colton are reeling from past mistakes in their lives, and both come to Ashfield to luck their wounds & regroup. Only they find more than they were looking for in each other & the old Easterly house on the hill.

Oh, Jasper!! I absolutely love his quiet, troubled heart. The things a young boy had to deal with that he should never have to just makes my heart ache. He is an Eaton through and through. I just love that family and their loyalty to each other.

Sloane's story is also a sad one but for totally different reasons. It makes sense that the two broken kids find each other and form such a strong friendship. Getting a glimpse into their summers growing up together was so great. And that even though She had Violet & he had Beau, they were meant to be best friends.

I also love the cross-over appearance of the Gold Rush Ranch & the Love Shack!! You knew when they both gave in, their passion was going to be explosive!! All I'll say is, it's always the quiet ones!!

Loved Reed & Holland. The way Reed got custody of his nephew & how Reed's world just instantly changes was written so well. The way Holland has longed for Reed but never acted out of loyalty to her best friend was beautiful. 

Both Reed & Holland have had to overcome so much. They are both strong and their love connection is just as strong. Loved seeing Reed with Liam's girls. The nerf war that Reed & Evan walked into was hilarious!!
