I felt like I walking in on something

Just from me to you do not start her. Go back to the beginning of the story. I felt like I missed out on something important. I did like this story but I am sur Kendall had a lot more to give me if I would have started at the beginning with her.

I liked the dual narrators it was important to me. They were a compliment to the words from Brandy.

Fantastic conclusion 🥰

After everything Kendall and the guys have been through together this was some much needed happiness, not to mention sexy as hell. Their big hearts and enormous amount of love gives them the happiest family and home. I hope there are several spin offs in the future, because Brandy created some amazing characters, which is one of the reasons I enjoy her writing. I’m sad that their story is over but look forward to many more rereads in the future.

How could life with four men be this BORING...???

So, first...the female narrator. She's REALLY really bad. Seriously. Not sure why the previous narrator didn't work for this series. I do remember that one of the previous narrators did a sky-high girl's voice for one of the lead male characters, but that doesn't warrant pushing "narrator" Allie Martina on us.

She does this ear-splitting, whispy (what I guess she THINKS is a) teenaged girl's voice. She's fine when she's doing her own voice. But her "Kendall" voice?...it's ...it's really bad. For some reason, she's reading breathy and smiley. Unfortunately, the fake voice also gives her an odd lisp, which she doesn't have when using her normal voice to portray other characters.

Also, the 4 lead men have morphed from the individualized, flawed-but-real(ish), strong characters into these extremely boring, WASPy one-minute men. I'm not sure if it's the writer's fault for not being great with descriptions, or if Brandy Slaven meant to draw the sexcapades that way, but every session...it's menial and mundane. It's like...sex with a staunch conservative. The minute it starts, you're already thinking that you'd rather be watching Fox News.

In summary, this just isn't a continuation of the sweet RH story from the 2 pervious books. This book moved the series from my Top 5 most recommended books to the bottom of the barrel for me. There's literally NO drama, except for that one time Kendall glares at a flirty restaurant server and a random, glossed over break in. Not kidding. This feels like an obligation for the author. A checkmark on the series. It's just a recap of what's already been covered. Super mundane day-to-day back and forth. Reiterated declarations of love. That's literally it.

So if you liked the 1st two books, I'd recommend you stop there. This is just a wasted credit. Instead, I strongly suggest the "Unconventional" series by Rebecca Royce. Very similar RH story, very sweet, but the writer doesn't defer from the story's integrity, and you can practically feel her passion in the Unconventional series.
