‘Til Death Do Us Part 5 stars
Just…WOW! This one just grabbed me and didn’t let go. The jump from past to present enhanced the story as we watch Sam and Henry begin their relationship and the beginning of their time apart until their reconciliation. The other members on the island with Henry added a lot of depth and I loved getting to know each of them. There are a few moments that made me snicker as they learn to navigate living on an island. It broke my heart to see both Sam grieving Henry’s ‘death’ and Henry grieving the possibility of Sam moving on to a new relationship. More than once I had a few tears. Poor Sam has to clean up the mess that occurs when Henry is found and I felt so bad for Nash. His anger and frustration felt very real. He was losing the man he loved to what was supposed to be a ghost. I adored Sam’s family and cheered when ‘Buddy’s’ family chose what was best for him by leaving him with Henry and Sam. It was wonderful seeing them create a bigger family instead of fighting. I would recommend reading Okay, Then as it is the prequel to this book. It isn’t necessary but adds to the enjoyment of the story.
From This Day Forward 5 stars
The perfect followup to ‘Til Death Do Us Part. Sam, Henry and Aiden (buddy) are home, moving forward into their HEA. I loved that Sam and Henry actively worked to make Aiden’s biological family a real part of their lives. Outside forces work to dismantle what they have but nothing can tear them apart. Sam made me smile when he asks Henry to marry him again, it was perfect. Having Aiden be part of their ceremony was too sweet.
Okay, Then 4 stars
Awkward first official date. Sam and Henry have tons of chemistry once they get past their uncertainties. I loved Henry’s assumptions about their future. I’m grabbing their next book ‘Til Death Do Us Part. I’m excited to see where they go.
To Love and To Cherish 5 stars
When I left Nash in ‘Til Death Do Us Part, there was a feeling of pity and frustration. He was so angry and bitter, justifiably so. I’m so glad the author gave us his own book. We get to see that jaded man turn into someone who loves and is loved very deeply. Myles (aka. Emmitt) shows us a cynical man about love, but it instantly proves to be an easily crumbled wall when Nash is hurt. Everyone can see that Myles is in love with Nash. His Grampy is a hoot! I liked that Nash’s medical issue gives him a chance to see Sam as he truly was and that they were both settling in their relationship with each other. It mostly was a chance for Nash to let go of his pessimistic views and find the man that is perfect for him.
All in all, I would highly recommend the series
