I was so excited for some dad theo content but sadly it swindled like halfway through the book. They're a sweet couple but the other relationships with winter felt a bit rushed, like shes super mean and like frigid in the begining and other books but this book she all of a sudden atones for all her mistakes and is nice and friendly like yes maybe it was like some sort of cover but still you don't see the most content of her and summer. All i really want to say is either elsie silver pumped these books out too quickly (i still love them) or her ghost writers are trash. Anyway almost 5 stars!!

Not reading the next book because 40yr old war hero x 22yr old girl is not a book I want to read but will be reading her other series!

Not my favorite of the series:(

Between the whole not related by blood and don't think of each other that way the family tree is freaking me out, I feel like its the same way authors write men calling each other "brother" when they have a big fat crush on each other. Also, the age gap is stressing me out, like silvers explained it away but anything over three years when you've known each other since you were kids is kind of freaky.  It all felt a little high school but i think that may just have been because theyre both 10 years younger than the previous couples it felt weird putting a younger couple in a completely different setting in the middle of the series. 

BESIDES that, they are a sweet couple, and its a pretty classic hallmark situation and Elsie did it well like all her other books I'm praying we get a beau book.......

I shed some tears, like honest to god crying at this book oh my goodness. The ending is so sweet I am so excited for the next in the series. It gets tiring reading about men being forgiven for stupid stuff constantly and being taken back but to be honest I would too in this case. impecible relationship building, pretty writing, well set up for other characters' books to come after this one.

Great for fans of Lauren Ashers later series!!
