If you enjoyed the first two books, you'll love this one. I absolutely loved this book. It was a perfect ending (and beginning) in Ace and Dylan's love story. I was surprised the wedding went off without a hitch. I thought something would blow up, figuratively speaking, at the wedding but nothing did. The bachelor party and Carlos was so freaking funny. I couldn't stop giggling during that entire section.

I knew Brenda was going to make an appearance after the mess in the second book. However, I'm surprised she just walked away. Don't get me wrong. She is money hungry and is a heartless human being. I just got the feeling she enjoyed destroying Dylan's life, not just for money but to be mean. He actually succeeded and did well for himself, which she obviously envied. If she was that money hungry, she could have siphoned money out of some rich old man but she didn't. She wanted to make Dylan suffer. I would love to know what Logan put in the contract to make her stay away from Ace and Dylan.

AHHHHHHH!!!!

description

This book was simply pure fluff. The only hint of angst comes in the form of Dylan's mother, but they're able to deal with her fairly quickly (it helps when u have money. But also, she's such a bitch, wow. Glad she got out of their lives for good, though) and the rest of the book is just pure happiness.

And others might find it over the top happy, but I just can't find it in myself to give a crap, because there are so few stories I read or watch that just give you plain happiness for the couple you're rooting for.

This book is all about the few months leading up to Dylan and Ace's wedding, and a little bit that happens after that (and an adorable epilogue to give us a picture of what their life is like after marriage too). We get the fun bachelor party with #PresLocke and friends (we get to see all the couples from both authors previous books, like Logan and Tate and Derek and Jordan, etc, and it's fun seeing all these characters together. I haven't read Brooke Blaine's books, but I still really enjoyed the characters - Shayne, Paige, Quinn <333) and getting a few little snippets of the other couples was wonderful.

This kinda felt like those .5 books that are usually extra scenes that wouldn't fit in a book so they're just a short snapshot of our two fave romantic leads being happy - but because this was their wedding, it got a whole book - and i love it, because it's just a fun, easy, light read to the end of this awesome series. Dylan and Ace dealt with all the bullshit and drama in the first two books, they got through it - this was their book to be just plain happy together.

Also??? Sex scenes spread throughout this lovely tale? Hell yes!!! These two are so HOT together and I love love it. I love these two.

I'm used to pain and suffering and angst leading up until the very last moment as much as the next person, but this is not your book for that and I couldn't be happier. It wasn't afraid to just let them be happy - face one obstacle, yes, but it really was just trying up the Brenda problem more than anything else so these two wonderful guys could have their true happily ever after.

Was this probably corny? Eh, yeah, but these guys are head over heels for each other and it's their wedding, I wouldn't expect much else. Also - because of the cover for the first book, I had this picture of Dylan in my head like that guy - because the books never said otherwise, but in this I found out Dylan is blonde and I was like wait WHAT??? I was imagining light brown hair! What the fuckkk lol. It's not a big deal, but I just had to readjust my image of Dylan a tad.

And if that's my only complaint? Well, then that tells you all you need to know. If you've read the first two books, don't worry that more drama will happen before they get their happy ending. This whole book is them already in their happy ending, and it's awesome.

Huge thumbs up to a lovely ending to a wonderful series :D

I just love how Ella Frank and Brooke Blaine always leave me feeling all the feels at the end of their series. Cue dramatic sigh. I have loved Dylan and Ace’s story from page one and I could not have imagined a sweeter ending to their love story. It also brought together so many characters from both author’s series which added a fun element to the book.

The last book of Ace and Dylan’s trilogy focuses on their wedding and tidying up the situation that Dylan’s mother had created. I LOVED the surprise cameo from a certain lawyer. (IYKYK) This book could have focused on that drama and wallowed in the angst of resolving it. But instead, we are given a satisfying conclusion to that plot line, leaving plenty of time for the authors to write a super sweet and very funny story.

Ace and Dylan hire Paige to plan their dream wedding, and she is more than ready to take on the task, giving them plenty of time to plan an epic bachelor party! They whisk away their family and friends to Cabo and subject them to a fun-filled scavenger hunt. I couldn’t stop laughing as I read. This trip brought together so many fun characters from each author’s series, that it was endlessly fun to read. And then we have their wedding. It was magical and I won’t spoil it one bit. This series has been a delightful journey from start to finish. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a sweet love story, with lots of humor, and quite a bit of drama, but almost not angst. It will have you laughing, smiling, and thinking of the magic of falling in love again.

A brilliant happily ever after!!

Wedlocked is everything I could've asked for... plenty of sweet romantic moments, catching up with lots of our favourite characters (Logan & Tate!!!!), fun times with family, and panty-melting heat!! A perfect end to a fantastic series that I will definitely be rereading again and again!!

This book had some really cute moments (particularly the epilogue), but it felt more like an anthology of stories about all the other characters these authors created. The main story could have easily been condensed to a novella at least and I felt my interest waning. Overall this was an enjoyable trilogy with the first one being highly entertaining and the second and third ones too long. A duology would have worked better.

I couldn't have asked for a better ending for Ace and Dylan. From the bachelor party documented by the videographer, the beautiful wedding, to the tearjerking epilogue it was perfect. I'm a sucker for long term epilogues and this one strikes us from 4 years after the wedding. This series has been wrapped up in a sweet and funny bow. 5 stars

2.5 stars...

For me, this book felt like an extended epilogue. There was a conflict with the mother that didn’t last very long, and everything was wrapped up with nice little bows and there were some weird scenes added in (I’m talking about you, bachelor party). All in all, it was an OK read. I would never rave about it like I would book one and two, because in the end I’m left feeling like I wouldn’t have had to read this one to feel fulfilled with this series. Really, it came off as the type of book that’s made to get you to read other books. So many times things were mentioned about previous events involving the side characters that was obviously from their books and it wasn’t done in a way that I personally like. It’s like when you’re with someone and they not so delicately slip in some funny story they want to relive with a person in front of you so that you hear the story too? Yeah this wasn’t my fave at all. Not completely terrible it’s still written well (minus some dialogue obviously) but I needed a little more drama or SOMETHING. It was all happy emotion so I don’t feel like I was put through the wringer to get to the conclusion of the super happy feels. It was a straight road to the happiness and it made me less happy because of it.

I think this is my least fave of the series. I'm just not one for weddings and the loving was like turned up to the max. My fave part was the party where it was the point of view from the camera and we followed all their friends, that was really fun and when the uptight mother got drunk was so funny. The sex was kinda meh, I mean after that place they went to in the first book, it's kinda hard to beat that and while book 2 managed to keep it going, it just fell flat in this one.

Overall it's just a series that I like but can't say that I loved.
