The sweetest of all in the series!
I fell in love with Ryan and I fell hard. He’s great through all the pages. All his antics just made this book fantastic read.
The connection, the chemistry between main characters and how much vulnerability they showed to each other made this read very emotionally moving and totally heart warming. There were moments I had misty eyes and many more moments that I smiled or laughed. And I was so happy to see appearances from all the other couples from the series. It was good to have them back even if for a short time.
