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

\u201cI loved sweet and slow Wallbanger, but I loved Wallbanger Wallbanger the best!\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sadly it\u2019s time to say goodbye to one of my favourite series.\u00a0 Wallbanger <\/a>is one of my all-time favourite books, and the follow ups have all been fantastic reads! Alice Clayton is the queen of funny, romantic and sexy. I\u2019ve had so much fun reading these books!<\/p>\n

And now it\u2019s back to Simon and Caroline, who started it all, and it was so fantastic to be back with these characters that I love so much. The story is told entirely from Caroline\u2019s POV as she and Simon watch their friends move on to the next stages in their lives \u2013 weddings, engagements and babies \u2013 and start to take the next steps towards their own happy ever after.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want you \u2026 I want it all, and I want it with you.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I really loved this book. It\u2019s fun and it\u2019s funny with no relationship drama. Simon and Caroline are still madly in love, and are continuously laughing, bantering, and sexing up a storm.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat last round was pretty intense. Thanks for being so bendy, by the way.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This book is essentially an epilogue for the series, showing each of the couples that we have come to know and love, and I love that we got that closure for each of them (Clive included). And bless you Alice Clayton for allowing us to see the little moments between Simon and Caroline that we all want.

<\/span>Spoiler<\/div>
That proposal scene was absolute perfection!<\/div><\/div>\n

\u201cYou realise you own me, don\u2019t you, NightieGirl?\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This was a beautiful finish for Simon and Caroline, and to the series as a whole. I look forward to many rereads in the future.<\/p>\n

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