Perfect ending for Maddox Aiden and Brently

John Lane gave another emotional performance bring Maddox to life. Terrific story of confirmed bachelors

Maddox & Dee

It was great to once again experience the camaraderie between Bentley, Aiden, and Maddox. Maddox’s love story moved at an even pace with no lows. There was plenty of humor, some drama and no angst. The MMC lost his mom at an early age, grew up with an abusive father and had to have order and control in his life. The FMC grew up watching her mom depend solely on her father and he just left them. She did have a hushed short relationship with a coworker who used her and was marrying someone else. She had a phobia when it came to relationships and love. Narrators did a great job.

Enjoyed this series, but Maddox was my favorite. His story tugs at my heartstrings. sweet endings with a beautiful future.

Best of the trilogy

This story was the best of the trilogy. I liked the plot and there was very little use of the lame pet names that were used in the other two stories. They sure drink a lot of coffee!

A Slow Start, but Finished On A High Note

I wasn't quite sure about this book when it began. I listened to the audio book. I started out being a little disappointed because it seemed like all Maddox and Dee did was have sex. I thought the narration was great.

The story started to pick up when Dee started to experience difficulties with the way Cami's life was changing, and how it didn't include her sometimes. I liked that Maddox and Dee grew closer and started to share more info about their pasts. I started to get a sense of the depth of their relationship and the issues that haunted each of them.

The next twist that made the story move along was a blast from Maddox's past. The drama, the crazy, the angst was kicked up a notch. The frustration as Maddox attempted to make stupid moves and the surprising source of advice.

Let me not forget the cake tasting and the wedding planner. That whole scene was enjoyable.

I knew it wasn't over. There was that one final slightly suspenseful twist. To top it off, I was so happy to get the awesome epilogue. (I am a sucker for a goid epilogue!)

A slow start to a book the became an Interesting, mildly angsty and suspenseful book that was full of love, loyalty, friendship, family, and romance.
