What an ending to an awesome series. This was a highly emotional tale filled with rockstars, family drama, struggles, acceptance, dreams, hardships, love, family, friendship, religious cults, found family, extra spicy, and heartbreak.
Avonna, Liam, and Linus relationship is unconventinal but it works for them; they have created a beautiful family among themselves. There are struggles and hardships throughout the years for this found family that will bring tears to your eyes.
There is alot of moving parts to this story, the ups and downs of a Rock star's life, personal and professional. Also, Avonna's past and what she has had to overcome are heartwrenching circumstances, and your heart bleeds for her, and our heart also bleeds for Linus, what his family did to him was shameful. We were so glad the MCloughlin family welcomed him with open arms.
This story is one we could go on and on about how much we loved it, as it was that well-written and tugged on our heartstrings from the very beginning. This story brought so many emotions out of us as readers; we found ourselves balling our eyes out for most of the story. So much so, my husband thought I was sick as my nose was congested and red. LOL
The characters are amazing throughout this series, and meeting Avonna was a breath of fresh air. What a fierce little thing she was, who survived harrowing circumstances, who craved out a beautiful life for herself.
Her relationship with her husband Linus was beautiful, heartfelt, and extra spicy. So much love between them, so much so, you craved it for yourself. The chemistry between Avonna, Linus, and Liam was off the charts hot.
We were glad that Liam finally found his way.
Inclosing we will say we absolutely loved this story from beginning to end, could not put it down, and finished it in one sitting as we were glued to the pages the entire time. This story has been one of our top favorite reads for 2026.

Brooks & Briar
This was an interesting story; it was engaging, with a second-chance romance, an intriguing plot, and we loved the characters.
The story had an emotional aspect to it that we loved; the mystery and suspense in the story were constant, with a plot twist we really enjoyed.
There is an ongoing plot that stays in the forefront of the story, where we start to get answers, but the mystery continues.
Briar was a character who engages your heart. The pain and suffering she endured is heartbreaking, as she was such a beautiful soul, and we loved the fact that Brooks found family welcomed her into the fold so willingly.
Brook has a lot to atone for in this story to get back the woman he loves; seeing to Briar's protection is not enough its about gaining one's trust again.
The characters from other stories graced the pages in this current plot, making it more enjoyable as we always love seeing previous characters that we have come to love.
