Sobs in gush...

The end has come and it was everything I needed and wanted. This series has been 100% comfort to me and Eilidh-Fyfe were a striking couple to lead this finale. Teenage crush, friends, not friends, friends to more was a ride that undulated well into their final position.

The romantic suspense in this one was perhaps generally a bit lower stakes overall but had moments of peak intensity where my adrenaline shot up. There were two really fantastic twists in the book that totally surprised me.

Eilidh wasn't the shallowness I saw in snippets in previous novels, she's homesick, career-sick and Fyfe -sick. I really enjoyed her character growth. I might have wanted to smash some sense into Fyfe at times because mixed messages were not it. Their coupling was worth it. There's never a rush in these books, couples take their time to grow attachments.

"There was still an emptiness in me. It had a name, Fyfe Moray."

This final installment was a bit more family-centric than the others and I basked in the characters I knew on page. Bless Samantha Young for those epilogues because it finished this series in style and warm fuzzies.

If you've not started this series, it is now complete for you to binge, go read!

Thank you to the author for the review copy.
