Even through the ups and downs of this book, I was thrilled to see that the bond of love held strong. Finally. It was such a wonderful thing to see love grow and flourish, knowing that whatever tribulations came...it would be ok. And there were definitely some tribulations! Some of them were made to be more than they needed to be, I think. Some were real as hell. They all managed to make K&K even stronger in their commitment to each other. And no cheating in this one! Thank goodness!

I didn't know that I could love Kellan more. Yet, here I am...loving him more. His all-consuming love and devotion to Kiera made him so much more. His ability to make her feel cherished and loved and adored and beautiful...isn't that all that any woman really wants?

Kiera also finally (finally!!!) got to grow up in this book. I was so happy to see her redeem herself and become a functioning adult. Kellan deserved that. It's one thing to be loved and in love, but it's nothing when that love is dysfunctional as hell as their history was.

Even Griffin got to grow up (in a Griffin type of way).

I loved the closure that this book gave us. It's a great send off of Kellan, Kiera and the rest of the gang into the great life that is ahead of them.
