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

5 stars!<\/b><\/p>\n

OMG, yes, this book is what I needed, without knowing that I needed it. I\u2019m a huge fan of both the Second Circle Tattoos<\/i> and Preload<\/i> series, and though all of those books and the series ended well, this collection revisits the couples of both series and provides beautiful closure for the characters that I love so much.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Christmas, and the gang are all gearing up for Reid and Lia (The Darkest Link<\/a>)\u2019s wedding. It\u2019s a continuous storyline, with each chapter forming a bonus epilogue for each of the couples, written from the perspective of a different character (usually the heroes *swoon*) as we check in and see where they are at and what they have been up to in the months and years since they found their happy endings. And OMG, the feels!<\/p>\n

\u201cI was always certain about us. And being certain about us meant we could deal with everything else.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Full of swoony declarations, sweet moments, big reveals, passionate encounters and a whole lot of love, I was grinning like a cheesy fool through most of this book. But, keeping it real, our couples have faced challenges, and I love that Cole didn\u2019t shy away from giving them hard times to live through. But never fear, all is well, everybody is happy and still very much loved-up, and I loved every moment of seeing them live out their HEAs.<\/p>\n

He was hers and she was his and that was all that mattered.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is a gem of a read, and a must-read for fans of these two series. I\u2019m riding a blissful high and still completely in the zone, so I\u2019m starting a reread of both series, and I\u2019m freaking excited to experience these amazingly beautiful and emotional stories all over again.<\/p>\n

I loved this one!<\/p>\n

5 stars!<\/p>\n
