Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

4 swoony, sexy stars, and OMG, I love Ethan Blackstone!<\/b><\/p>\n

This is a beautiful ending to Ethan and Brynne\u2019s story, and is essentially just a really long epilogue, giving us every possible moment of sweetness and sexiness between this incredibly loved-up couple as they finally overcome the demons of their past and find their happy ever after.<\/p>\n

Picking up right where Eyes Wide Open<\/a> finishes, the story starts on Ethan and Brynne\u2019s wedding night, which is full of swoony declarations and lots of hot sex. Then we are off to the south of Italy for the honeymoon, which is full of swoony declarations and lots of hot sex. Then back home for more swoony declarations and lots of hot sex\u2026 you see where I\u2019m going with this.<\/p>\n

But did I mind? Not one little bit! As a fan of the series, what more can you ask for than to a much-loved hero and heroine overcoming heartache and drama to have lots of happy times.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew more happiness and love than I\u2019d ever experienced in my life, and now understood how precious it was to have that love.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is an amazing relationship. Ethan and Brynne have had so much to work through just to cope with their pasts, let alone be in a functional relationship, and the way they have come together, leaned on and supported each other through so much has been beautiful to watch. They have such immense love for each other, and I have loved watching each step of their relationship. And oh yeah, did I mention the hotness? The sexual chemistry between these two is off the charts, and with the insatiable need they have for each other, combined with Ethan\u2019s dirty mouth\u2026 dayum, there is some serious steamy time going on!<\/p>\n

And right when I was revelling in the glory of love right alongside Ethan and Brynne, Raine Miller does throw some high-impact drama in there. And even though you know in your heart that it\u2019s all going to work out ok, it was so beautifully, emotionally written, that I teared up over it all!<\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t forget you that night because when I saw you in person for the first time\u2026it was the moment I came alive again.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Told in dual POV, we get to see both sides of this beautiful love story \u2013 and we even get a flashback to their first meeting from Ethan\u2019s POV which I thought was a nice touch. I loved watching their journey, and seeing them end up in such a wonderful place. Definitely a must-read for the fans, this is a gorgeous finish to a really enjoyable series.<\/p>\n

I loved it \u2013 4 stars.<\/p>\n
