Publisher's summary

International best-selling Author Ava Miles’ best-selling family series, The Merriams, returns for its finale with two long-lost lovers fighting for a second chance despite the odds - with everyone’s favorite matchmakers along to pave their way.

Quinn recognized Francesca Maroun as his soulmate the moment he met her in grad school.

Of course he did. The Merriams always recognize their soulmates instantly. It just never occurred to him that world events could drive them apart so they wouldn't end up together.

Knowing there was no one else for him, Quinn devoted himself to the family business instead. Since he’s taken the reins of the troubled company, he doesn't have the time to dwell on Francesca - much. But with all his siblings falling in love and marrying, the emptiness of his life stretches before him, lonely and bleak.

But when world events take a turn again, Quinn knows it's now or never. Given that Francesca has become one of the most sought-after business consultants for the Fortune 500, he contacts her to come help him steer Merriams Enterprises clear of disaster.

When Quinn calls her about working with him to right his business, Francesca knows she should say no. She prides herself on what she's built, and working with Quinn offers temptations she doesn't want to feel. But she’s never healed from their shattering break-up, and perhaps this is the opportunity for closure. It's time to move on. What better way than proving to herself that they're over, once and for all?

Except events take a dark turn and threaten to destroy everything they’ve both worked so hard for. Even with the Merriam family at his back (and the matchmaking trio he can always count) he’s not sure there's a solution in sight - for Merriam Enterprises or Francesca and him.

An emotionally heartwarming story about true love and family that will inspire you to believe in the impossible even while the world is falling apart.

Another Good Read

Long time narrator of Ms Ava Miles books, Em Eldridge was truly missed on this book.
I’ll admit that it was somewhat difficult to fully enjoy and follow along this audio version as I’ve gotten used to the characters under voice of Em Eldridge.
I hope she’s available to return and once again be your narrator.
That aside- this is another outstanding work by Ava Miles where she continues to captivate her audience.
this book brings the Merriam family full circle allowing her characters to remain true even as they face difficult circumstances.

Narrator was lack luster

Did not enjoy the narrator on Breath of Jasmine. The narrator used on the previous books in the Merriam Series was a much more enjoyable listen.

Sounds distorted

They used a different narrator for this book, so it took longer to get into the characters.

Another wonderful story

This story was wonderful as all Were all the Merrian books.
But The audio by Em Eldridge was immensely missed.
I hope she will be back to continue her work with Ava miles.

Wonderful story

oh my as always this book was great. I can't wait and hope I can get the next book.

SUCH an AMAZING Series!

You may mistakenly think that the 1st book left many details unaddressed at its ending, but that's not the case, Ava brilliantly circled back throughout the series to couples & people from the previous books in the series, delightfully wrapping all unresolved issues up in the end, including a brilliantly written account of how they handled & delt with the Pandemic, something we all struggled with!

(Ava, thank you for not diving into politics in your series, you addressed the issues, without taking political sides or casting blame, something many writers failed to do, whom I have now stopped reading. Fictional Novels, Sports and Entertainment in general, are escapes for us all, the last thing we want or need to do is experience political rants in any of them!!!

Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart, I thoroughly enjoyed your series and I was delightfully surprised, having heard this book was the finale of the series, that it starts anew with Clifton & Alice! My next move is to order it now. 😊🫶💯💪)

Ok

Hard to adjust to new narrator. Very disappointed that COVID included in story line. Not really impressed with this book but loved all the ones before!

Narrator

The narrator was a disappointment. I couldn’t finish listening to the book. I was ver my disappointed
