gasping squeaking wheezing screaming crying throwing up Okay, so, uhm... I feel conflicted about this book. I enjoyed this book more than I should have, even if it may not be the ideal way to end the series and it somewhat fell short of my high expectations. iykwim. I’ve really been looking forward to Millie and Holden book even from the very beginning of this series and I feel a bit upset since this book failed to exceed my expectation. Their main problem is not that complicated and instead I found some issues with the age gap that the author has describe for us. I hope this problem was solved and describe better in the upcoming series. Despite it all, I kind of enjoyed their banter and chemistry more than I should have, which isn't too horrible either. I adore how Holden always takes such good care of Millie. He is so sweet and delicate for her, it makes me squeaking wheezing swooning throwing up. The smutty and spicy scene might overwhelm me a bit, but that was still fine by me tho. And yes, I realize that this is the fifth time I've said it. As I indicated in the last book, the authors' portrayal of the town's surroundings continues to captivate me. I had the impression that I could see the area's natural splendor, hear the birds chirping, smell the clean mountain air, and become one with nature upon reading this book, or series since I've state it so many times. duh. Likewise, I also wanted to appreciate Sebastian York and Grace Grant for narrating this book. I adored how they vividly portrayed the characters and how well they brought them to life. I also value the fact that the Wild and Lexington families have finally reached a new understanding and are now a whole family. It highlights the found family trope that works so effectively in this book. Given that we get a glimpse of Dani and Bridger both in the epilogue and as the plot develops in this book, I was genuinely excited to see what the author will introduce us to in the next series. Although I sincerely hope Kristen Proby will publish the stories about the Lexington sisters soon, I suppose I still want to read the Blackwells sibling series as it is presently available. Overall, I had a great time devouring up this series. I believed that each couple's relationships were fascinating, adventurous, and intriguing. The trope of the found family that characterizes this interwoven series is incredibly charming and endearing. I strongly suggest reading this series if you're looking for a small-town romance wrapped with spicy-worthy banter and filled with swoon-worthy scene between each couple!!! 🐎❤️‍🔥
