I’m glad the main character got the healing she needed. That’s all this book was about. A 400 page epilogue. I’m just happy the trilogy is done, so I can go heal from reading it.

This conclusion couldn’t have been better.
So Happy that both our characters healed in this book ❤️

A perfect ending
This last book tied a nice big bow around this series. I love the way it ended. I loved this series, period. Age gap is one of my favorite tropes, second to reverse harem, and every book in this series went on my favorites list and my book boyfriends list. It’s everything I always want in a good age gap book. It was also a very emotional series. Definitely read the trigger warnings before you read it.
The ONLY thing I didn’t like was we didn’t get to see her get justice about Fred. What happened with him? He was mentioned in the epilogue but I couldn’t tell by the way it was worded if he was ever actually caught or not. After I submit this review I’m going to go back and read that sentence to see if I understand it better or not, but it really did seem like he was still out there living a life he doesn’t deserve. So that’s my only complaint. I mean, Fred was one of the biggest points of this series. So I feel like I didn’t get closure with that even though there was a HEA. If anyone, or the author, can answer that for me then I would appreciate it. Other than that, this was definitely a 5 star read for all 3 books. I would love a story for Janelle and especially Uncle Jet. An age gap book for him would be something I would definitely read!! Oh, and Ronnie?? Now that I think about it, that was left open as well. We never got answers on what her deal was. So I guess that’s another thing I would have liked answered/dealt with.
But if you love age gap book then I highly recommend this series. You won’t be disappointed! Off to check out this authors other books since I’m definitely following this author now.

My heart feels full.
This book is definitely unlike the previous books and very much sticks to the title but it couldn’t have been more perfect. I’m so happy ash and Payson got the happy ending they deserved. I don’t think any other author could have done this couple or series justice the way KB did.
This has definitely become one of my favourite series of all time.

3.5 but rounding this series up to a 4.
This trilogy had me conflicted... but I couldn't stop reading it. I was up until 3:30am because I had to finish the last book..
I really hated some aspected, and loved others. Ash's constant Never lie to me/Why can't you trust me .. but the dudes constantly lies. I'm going to give you a safe word, but I'm not going to respect it. I'm not going to give you the chance to use it when I think you'd really need to.. I found both the fmc and mmc hard to like at times, but it came together, I suppose.
Book 1 started strong, but there was so much potential to build up to more of a relationship rather than "I decided I was going to fuck you bedore we met in person". It would have been so much better if he struggled with the idea just a little bit.
Book 2 was choas.. it felt scattered and rushed with so much going on.. manipulation, self harm, drug abuse, lies, murder, sexret family members..And of course, everyone with a dick wants to stick it in Payson and being insanely jealous of that, Ash decides to share her. Huh? Ok... It felt like they didn't really know which direction to go, so they threw it all in.
Book 3.. They get their happily ever after, which I liked.. The trip to get there was just odd. The timeline super jumpy And the author had thrown so much in there in previous books with other relationships and drama murder. That was all left completely unresolved.. Like we're going to keep bringing up the rapey murdery step dad on the run, but never gets solved.
While some editing and finesse... Trim some of that chaos, focus the direction, and a little bit more character development, building up that relationship. 5 star potential.. and just being petty.. but Jason and Payson.. c'mon..
And I want more Janelle.. her and Luca.. her and Parker.. uncle nephew MFM I dunno Haha.. But if she gets her own story, I'm here for it.

Phew am I glad to be done with this trilogy. It was not bad but I just could not get through it for some reason. It took me 19 days to read all three books. That's insanity for me which I can normally finish a book in 1-3 days. Book 3 moved a little faster for me, only taking 2 days to finish. I think some of that was my desire to just get it over with to move on to something new. The pacing was also faster with each chapter skipping ahead days/weeks/years into the future more and more (versus books 1 and 2 encompassing only about 2-3 months of time).
So this series was recommended as being similar to Off Balance by Lucia Franco. So the whole time I was reading this series, I kept comparing it to that series and those characters. DO NOT DO THIS. I tried to stop but I couldn't. Its not fair to this author but it is what it is. I tried to adjust my star rating to make up for this disadvantage. I think if I grabbed this trilogy having never read Off Balance, I would have been borderline obsessed. I LOVE forbidden tropes like this. Coach/player is a special relationship to start with and then you add in the sexual component and WOW - instant favorite (usually). I think a lot of Ash's (MMC) actions in book 2 made me not like him as much as a whole and tainted the series for me. I just can't move past him ignoring her safe word. It just really bothers me. I did like his character and I think he really did love her. She grew on me over time but she was obviously a 17 year old girl for the bulk of this trilogy.
I wish I liked this series more. I recommend it for those new to forbidden age gaps or those that aren't as judgmental as I am (haha).

Thank you for the ARC, KB. And thank you for a story I’ll never forget.
“Open your eyes, babygirl. Our story is just beginning.”
Crying on page one!! Come on KB… I think that’s a record. It has to be one of the most difficult things to fight so hard for someone when they can’t fight for themselves only to learn it’s not good enough. That you can’t help them in the way they need. In fact; you’re part of the problem. That’s what Ash realizes. He has to step back. He also has to make some tough choices to help himself along the way. “A love so raw” just describes them so perfectly. Payson finally making the decision to literally save herself so she’s able to live the life she deserves. And for the people she loves; so they can heal too. This book was so emotional and everything I needed. Ash never letting go but giving enough space for the process to begin. Payson’s tenacity to not just exist but thrive. The growth of their relationship. Todd!!! I mean it’s over and it’s perfect, and I still want to cry. This series!!! The conclusion. Ashley and Payson for life. Thank you KB for letting me be a part of your babies from day one. I’m honored. 💙
“You and me babygirl, always.”
“They are reminders of how deeply we were lost in each other.”
“I still want you. I will always want you. Everyday, every moment—every bloody lifetime, Jailbird. You and me, remember?”
“The best stories have bumps, twists, and turns. And Payson’s story is my favorite one.”
"Your heart has to be my absolute favorite part about you. First broken, now bandaged, but not quite healed. A journey so beautiful it hurts."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3 stars!!
Stayed up till 3 am and read this in one sitting. This was an easy read and I'm happy to see the characters get the happy ending they deserved to have. However, there were just so many loopholes and pacing issues that I couldn't overlook. I feel like the author decided halfway through the series that she was going to make this a universal experience and obviously give separate books to all the side characters and couples that are introduced and I felt like that was at the cost of the integrity of this book. I would have much rather have read about Peyson and Ash healing together instead of separately and I definitely did not need Janelle to be passed around yet again to another possible romance interest. I mean no judgment, but wow this girl got around. I was so confused on why the author decided to set her up with so many of the male characters in this book. She literally sleeps with half of them which would be fine, except that they are all blood related to one another and no one mentions how inappropriate it is. It's like author didn't know who she wanted her to be with so she literally just put her with anyone who was around at the time. It was off putting and really took me out of the story. I also didnt like the thing with Ronnie and Alyssa, they felt rushed, unnecessary and we didn't even get a conclusion to it so again, this book just felt so unfinished. I feel like as a author it is your duty to wrap up the series for the readers in a way that is satisfying and complete and not in a way that will leave room for you to eventually make more money by selling spin offs. This book left a weird taste in my mouth.
I also didn't understand how suddenly Peyson was completly okay to move in with a much older man who she did not know at all beforehand. What happened to her trauma from her childhood? She literally doesn't get a bedroom door and not once that does that trigger her? It felt like I was reading about entirely new characters and this was before all the healing. Ash literally abandons her even though he promised to keep her safe from Fred but I guess the author got backlash for him neglecting his own kid because suddenly he remembers his priorities as a parent. The entire thing felt messy and unfinished. Like the author kept remembering things as she was writing then forgetting them as soon as she did. Clay even does 180. Also whag happen to the CNC play? What happened to hero? What happened to Olivia? Where's Fred? Where's Aylssa? This book game me more questions than answers and that is crime to do in the last installment of a series. I will not be picking up anything else from this author and am washing my hands of this monastery.
What a shame, what a horrible ending given what was at first such a beautiful and tragic love story. I'm happy the two got married, had kids and healed properly. However, we never hear Peyson reaction to not having the athletic career that she once dreamed of having so bad. She just gives it all up and theres no turmoil about it. The ending felt extended rushed. I would have much rather had gone into detail about things like how they come to the conclusion of where she is going to school and how she feels about giving up volleyball after the fact and the time she relapsed and asked Ash to cut her again. All of those sounds like great scenes to read about but the author did alot of tell don't show in this book which is crazy for a book. Overall, I would still recommend book one since it's a masterpiece but then just stop there while you're ahead.

I DNF THE BOOK
I could not read it anymore. I read the reviews and saw that Payson and Ash ended up together,🙄 I tried to read the book but couldn’t get over it. Both Payson and Ash are super toxic for eachother, I did not want them to be end game. I think They should have broke up on good terms because they both healed, and Payson ended up with Clay or Hero. Or even one of the Russian players in the 2nd book. Or someone like them. And Ash continued to focus on his son Parker and build their relationship.
Ash came into her life at the worst possible time. Payson was dealing with so much and instead of healing her or helping heal her, he made it Soo much worse. He was super possessive and obsessed to the point of creepy, and didn’t have her best interest in mind. He only was thinking about himself.
I also hated their age gap. It was too much of a gap. I mean 32! That’s wild. I love an age gap as much as the next person but that’s crazy work. 25 would have been a decent age to make him.
The series as a whole I would give it a 3/5 stars. The smut was there, the writing was okay, the drama was dramatic, and side characters were everything.

I don’t know what happened.
The timeline of this makes no sense to me… one minute it’s the end of the season & then it’s Christmas. Then it’s June & they’re talking about her senior year- surely that’s almost ended?! Are American school terms completely different to the UK? And why is he in England randomly in the middle of the school year when his JOB is to teach high school volleyball?!
So. Many. Questions.
I try to put this aside & base my review off the actual story rather than the strange holes.
In short: not much happens. The spice is gone. I’m 70% through it & I swear they’ve only been together like 3 times.
It’s full of a lot of deep & meaningful moments that make me cringe a lot tbh & things that could have happened don’t.
What’s the deal with rehab? She spends 6 months there &… nothing happens.
Where is Luca?!
What is the deal with Fred- either bring him in properly or stop mentioning him. (To be fair at this point I haven’t finished the book so there may be some resolution yet but it hasn’t left long after keeping him on ice for 3 books as the boogeyman)
It just doesn’t have the grit that I’m looking for & that I’ve enjoyed in the other books.

There is a difference between building angst and trauma dumping. My opinion with this series is that we were being trauma dumped and then the writer didn't know how to go about the healing process. I read many online reviews regarding this 3rd book and many ppl mentioned how boring it is. This was the best book out of the trilogy for me, because the writer was not constantly trauma dumping. This book needed to be this way since it was too much. I love a good ash-hole in books, that's my jam, but.... Ash was not ok. Some of the decision making and then how he handled things made no sense. Like the chapter at the end of book 2 where Ash ghosts Payson. Me as the reader, was like wait... did I miss something! I guess what I'm tryna say is that some chapters didn't flow well and left me wondering what just happened. There were alot of speeling mistakes and the lack of contractions sometimes thru me off as well. This trilogy had some good potential man. There were several sub plots that went absolutely no where that I was waiting for, but nothing happened. I don't want to spoil anything but why was the Hero in the story? Or what was up with their friend? What happened to Fred? What happened btwn Janelle and William. Urgh. So many sub plots no time at all. These books were not exactly short either, so there was time... but no, we were constantly trauma dumped. Also the sexy times promised alot, but delivered very little. Is it just me but was Payson's innocence portrayed a little too innocent. And yet we r too believe she is mature enuf to date an older man. Also this was a sports romance with not much sports and there was definitely a few time line issues. Overall, loved the epilogues. That made reading this trilogy worth it.

Well I both loved and hated this series. I have to admit I was completely hooked by the story and could not stop reading…like sleepless nights could not stop. But there was also a lot that I picked at. The writing is OK but the editing could do with a second glance. Book 3 especially felt rushed in the amount of errors there was with spelling and punctuation.
Book 1 started off strong though I did initially get creepy vibes from coach 🙈 but I ended up loving them together they were quite cute and did work at making their relationship.
Book 2 there is so much going on it’s utter chaos!! So many things happening…did it need to all be happening…the cutting, the pills, the mum, Jason, Jet, Ronni, Grandpa, Luca, Parker. So many lanes (that didn’t all get closed off). As something else happened I found myself ‘what now?!’
Book 3 was the healing happy ending. It was sweet and a nice ending but there were a lot of errors and a lot of things that weren’t explained and closed off.
It was a good story but maybe just needed nailed down a bit more.
It is very taboo…I’ll read anything but if you have any triggers you definately should check them before reading.

OMG this book was just brilliant, the icing on the cake. It carries on from where it finished and continues to get better and better. I think I went through every emotion reading this. I feel for Payson not being able to say goodbye to her Grandpa but how Ash helps her is just beautiful. We also get to understand her Uncle Jet in this book and I definitely have a soft spot for him. He might be all tough and hard but when it comes to Payson he protects and loves her with everything he has. This book honestly is brilliant, I love how Ash’s family come into it and how they are with their relationship. Janelle is still her fab self and I’d love her to actually have her own book (we need to know what happened with Henry lol). The epilogues were just a brilliant way to end this series and my heart honestly felt complete. Seriously, I cannot recommend these books enough, they are absolutely fantastic and brilliantly written.

After falling in love with Break For You and Leave Me Broken, I couldn't wait and also dreaded to read the ARC for 3rd book in the series. If you've read the first two, you will understand why.
This one felt very different than the previous books. This one gives us the HEA we all wanted for Ash and Payson. They went through hell in the first two books and for this one, the title says it all as far as the vibe for this whole book - "Heal For Me"
Don't get me wrong, because of the way the previous books went I still had anxiety while reading this. I just knew something was going to happen. I was terrified to start new chapters but at the same time couldn't read fast enough to find out what happened. How does KB Row do that to us? Witchcraft, I tell you!
I'd love to get a book for Jet. Jet is all tattooed, grumpy yumminess. - total Daddy material 😏

I was terrified to start new chapters but at the same time couldn't read fast enough to find out what happened. How does KB Row do that to us? Witchcraft, I tell you!
I'd love to get a book for Jet. Jet is all tattooed, grumpy yumminess. - total Daddy material 😏

Man what a freaking end to a series!!! This book wasn’t quite as wild as the others but tied the PERFECT bow on Ash and Payson’s relationship! I loved getting to see their life play out and I’m DYING for a book on Janelle!!! I loved the healing that these two did together and the mended relationships along the way!
Series: what a wild freakin’ ride man. This series was so toxic and steamy and taboo and everything I hated to love, but I ate. it. up. This is a series I will think about for a while and it will be hard to get into whatever I pick up next because my thoughts will constantly go back to this crazy story. KB, you wrote a wonderful series and I can’t wait for something new from you!

This series literally consumed me for days. I could not function. It was so addicting. I am in a complete book hangover right now!
This is the completion of Ash and Payson’s story and what a great ending. There were highs and lows I loved that in book 2 and this book we started having Ash’s POV. I will say I do have a few unanswered questions regarding other characters that I am dying and hoping there are books coming for (Janelle, Ronnie, Luca, Henry, and Parker) I may be asking for too much there but I am going to shoot my shot!
There are many tw in this book! So do research first if needed!

Each book in this series has a very different vibe.
It was nice to see them working through their issues and taking that time to heal. It was a bit of a slower-paced book. Nothing much happened but it was nice. I like how everything was wrapped up, they got the ending they deserved, and I'm so glad. I did feel some plot lines were a bit left unanswered, some stuff wasn't explained/dealt with and some side characters just disappeared. But overall I enjoyed it. I cried, so that says enough.
The first book is my favorite. The other two books weren't what I expected but still very good, and I had a fun time. I will for sure keep my eye out for K.B Row.
Rating: 3,5 Stars.

I. Have. No. Words.
Actually, I bloody do but really can't articulate how much this book repaired my broken heart. Don't get me wrong, I dragged out reading this instalment as I didn't want it to end, but also I wanted to devour it. Ash and Payson will forever have my heart, and their story will stay with me.
The love, care, protectiveness, growth, acceptance just everything about this book is perfect. And that ending... simply beautiful!
Thank you KB for writing an amazing world, one that I'm sad to be leaving 👀

Heal for me
Finally! I was so excited to know Ash and Payson's ending. For me, this book fell a bit short. I was very invested in the other two maybe because there was a lot of plot twists plus awesome smexy scenes. This book there wasn't anything really exciting/plot twist worthy things that happened. I also felt that things were rushed and I lost track of where the timeline was. Grammar was also a slight problem. However, I did enjoy reading about Payton's recovery and glad to see her and Ash have a beautiful, loving life together. They deserved it!

This book made me think that the author got tired of this novel and just wrote whatever, since there were lots of plot holes. Things were mentioned as if they were important, but never mentioned again.
The spice (obviously what made me read the whole series in the first place), was mostly gone. The characters turned into shadows of themselves, and even though it was a series with a HEA, by the end I just didn't care (like the author, probably).
Not very good, and I wouldn't recommend tbh.

Fantastic
Gosh, we're to start with this series! It has been a roller coaster for sure but an amazing one at that. You can feel the love , tension and sadness in this series so deeply. I love the Mental Health aspect that comes out and gets talked about. You never truly know what is going on in someone else's life. KB Row you have done amazing with this series. Definitely one of my top favorite reads for 2023.
I do hope we get another few stories out of a few side characters.
But I definitely love Ash and Payson story. ❤️

I absolutely devoured the first two books and was apprehensive of where book 3 would go. Firstly I want to say it veered away from being predictable and I was slightly sad about that, as I was expecting more drama from her stepdad, but also felt like a lot of things were left unsaid.
What is the relationship between her brother and uncle like today? Does Luca and her BFF get a story? What happened to Ronnie? Where is Alyssa? Is her stepdad caught? The books were pretty long and could have easily covered a lot of my questions.

This serious fully consumed. Heart & soul.
One of the best series I’ve ever read, simply based on the fact that I couldn’t put it down and it was all I thought about.
I feel like some of the review for this series don’t make any sense. If you don’t like age gap series, then just stay away.
If the thought of a 17 year old with a 33 year old bothers you, why bother picking it up and then giving it a lower rating than it deserves?
Anyways, I love their story.
You truly go on a journey with them.
Hope to see more of Pay + Ash in the future!

awwwww this was so close to being 5 star. I loved the growth, I loved the happy ending and the letter of grandpa made me sob which is normally automatically a 5 star if a book makes me cry. but the end felt too rushed for me. the whole Fred incident got brushed over. I thought that was going to be a major part of the plot. and I would of liked to see the retribution for everything he put her through but it got no more than a couple of lines saying it was an "incident" so that was disappointing. 4 stars.

This book was everything I wanted for Ash and Payson! I have loved them from day 1! They are a couple I think about often! I honestly couldn’t even talk about Heal For Me for a few days after finishing without getting emotional! They mean so much to me! Payson the most! I love her as an FMC.. she is just so vulnerable and wants to see the best in everyone and that for me is so relatable! You just want to love and be loved. Ugh this whole series has my whole heart! I have loved every part of it!! Can’t wait to see what KB does next within this world! Let’s gooooooo!

I RAN through these books… WOW! This was a great ending to the series. It was heartbreaking the first 25%, but we really got to know Ash.
The few things I would want more of is to know exactly what happened with ole Fred, Alyssa, and Ronnie. I don’t think they’re stories were closed (I get it being Payson let go of the past, but come on!)
There were a lot more editing errors in this book versus the other two.

I’m so happy with how everything ended! Book 2 was dark and sad and deep, and this one is definitely the light at the end of the tunnel. Payson and Ash finally get the help they need to heal. And healing is certainly what they do. They are able to love in a healthy way and it’s as sweet and perfect as you could want. Of course there still premium spice, but it’s not destructive anymore. This was a great ending!

THIS SERIES. wow. I feel like i could write a book about these books but i also just feel speechless. It takes a lot for me to cry in a book… but this gutted me. I felt every possible emotion through this entire trilogy. I use the term “broken” a lot to describe the characters in books i read but believe me when i say Payson is the most broken character I’ve ever read about.
I broke for her. But i healed with her too. I will not be over these books for the foreseeable future…

The series itself is great, the first two books I did really enjoy, by the time we got to this one though it did feel like a lot was missing.
I too am asking myself why is Jenelle still so unlucky in love 10 years on, where is Alyssa and Ronnie and Fred, what happens to those guys? I'd have liked that to be explained before the end.
Some of it was a bit uncomfortable to read, or I didn't agree with.
Overall I enjoyed it though, glad there was a happy ending for Payson & Ash.

Incredible ending to the series!
This book is filled with some much needed healing. I loved every second of it.
I’m so sad this series is over, I love Payson and Ash so much.
I really hope we get more side character stories in the future, I don’t feel ready to let go of these people 🥹
