Hers for the Weekend by Helena Greer
3.75
*I received an eARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.*
I really liked Season of Love and For Never & Always was one of my favorite books of last year so I was thrilled to get an early copy of Hers for the Weekend. Unfortunately, while I did enjoy this book, it's my least favorite of the series. I also think this is the one book in the series that doesn't do a great job of standing alone and reading the first two books is what makes this book as enjoyable as I found it.
I loved going back to Carrigan's and seeing all of the characters I loved again but I struggled buying into Tara and Holly's relationship. I appreciate Greer's exploration of leaving toxic family situations and the idea of found family and finding your place in the world at a later stage of life. However, I never bought into the tension between Tara and Holly and they're will they/won't they fake dating wasn't given the depth or page time I felt it needed to feel authentic. That being said, it was also my least favorite part of this story so do with that what you will.
Overall, I adore this series and found this to be a fantastic conclusion even if this particular book wasn't as successful on the romance front as I wanted it to be. Also, I love Cole with all of my heart.
