Unthinkable. Unbelievable. Inconceivable.
I don’t recognize what my life has become. I can’t tell where the lies end and the truth begins anymore.
He came into my world and urged me out of my safe little corner.
All my dreams are coming true except the one thing I want most—my own happy ending.
But I’ll fight for it.
For now.
For always.
REVIEW: 3.5-4 STARS
"He chose his path, and you chose yours. You reap what you sow, Temperance."
Ok....I never saw that coming!! What a turn of events that made me shake my head with the final book in this series!! While I could kind of figure out some of it before it happened (because we knew we were getting a HEA out of this one), there were quite a few secrets to untangle. I honestly think that's what makes her books so fun for me. Her books are a whirlwind of activity and secrets, with a great love and passion between the two main characters, and they are so easy to get caught up in. But that ending? That was beyond anything I would have imagined! Completely caught me off guard! I didn't realize it was happening.....until it was happening.
I have to be very careful with how I word this review because I don't want to spoil any chance of discovery while reading this final chapter. So in the beginning of this book, I will say that there was a lot of heartbreak behind the darkness. I loved the way she wrote the beginning, and the emotions that Temperance was going through after how the second book ended was pretty palpable. I really liked how convincing that beginning pain was portrayed.

Overall, when thinking about it...this one wasn't as explosive as I thought it would be for a finale in this series - but I couldn't put the book down. Weird, right? I mean, sure....we had some emotions in the beginning and a woah! moment in the end, but the in between was very calm and cool while we watched the love grow and the secrets get uncovered. With the first book building up the story, the second book exploded with action and consequences. This one was a lot more subdued in that aspect, but heavy in the revelations department. I saw a little bit of a softer side to HIM and I wasn't entirely sure how I felt about it at first, but watching it play out brought it all together - the alpha and the protective side, mixed in quite nicely with his tender side. He was so perfect for Temperance. Weird as it may be, I love an alpha that is in touch with his feelings and can completely admit when he is weak in the knees for his woman. And HE did it for sure. HE was a good man and I loved how hard he loved Temperance.
By the time this story ended, I felt like this was a pretty good ride! Some of it may have come across as cheesy, some of it may have even been a little cliché.....but it was so sweet and freaking entertaining! I will give it to MM. Totally. She can write a story that sucks me in, no matter what I quirk my lips at, but I still thoroughly enjoy the story she brings. It's no lie. I've said these aren't super emotional books in this series, but there was some in this book. No angst. Not really a deep story emotion-wise, but a crazy ride from the very first page, and that ending was just too perfect and sweet. I definitely smiled at it. Very entertaining series!
