5 Stars - a 12 hankie read
I started to read this a couple of days ago and then stopped as I felt the series deserved a re-read before the final book. Loved the first two books just as much the second time around.
I can say without a doubt that L Dreamer has given us a perfect if bitter-sweet ending. We get a lot of glimpses into their lives as they get older and their family grows. They continue to grow as a couple, their love getting stronger and stronger. There is some drama and excitement. I had a hard time putting the book down. At the 80% mark, make sure you have your tissues handy. I know I was sobbing for a solid hour. Ugh.😭
L Dreamer does a beautiful job with a flash forward that lets us get a peek at how things turn out for the extended family and maybe even a bit of reincarnation. Someone will have to let me know if it was just wishful thinking on my part or did you get that vibe too.
Anyway even though I have to buy a new box of Kleenex now, I still absolutely loved this book. I think it was a perfect ending and my love for Rachel and Thomas knows no bounds.

I didn't realize just how much I was invested in and missed Thomas and Rachel until I got this book but that is the beauty of Dreamer's storytelling.
Time has gone by, our main characters are closer than ever and TJ has grown like a weed. Their little family unit gets ever tighter with danger and hurt then shared knowledge and we reconnect with Charlotte, Emmett and Charles. Soon new love buds, this time between TJ and Maisy but WWI with horror and sadness reaches out to stem the happiness. Eventually clouds clear and years go by with the ranch evolving to farming and more. The Miller clan expands with new characters joining the family. Life ebbs and flows and in time we find ourselves in 2023 and a new beginning at the little house where many, many, many years ago Rachel and Thomas's love flourished.
I have ridden a rollercoaster of emotions in this final book in the series which I highly recommend with 5 stars.
Oh Luc, you made me weep with this one.

An Emotional Journey!
Thomas and Rachel have settled and now they are living the life they have worked so hard for, while raising their family. As life goes on and time passes by, Rachel and Thomas’ lives continue to change with the times, as they get to experience all the ups and downs of life through the Great War, the Great Depression and into the future.
What a fantastic way to complete the Heart Series! I am actually sad this is the last installment but have loved every moment joining Thomas and Rachel on their adventure. Even though this is part of a series, you don’t have to have read the previous books to enjoy this one, but I would recommend you do to really understand and get to know Thomas and Rachel properly. L. Dreamer has broken down each part of this story into a shorter part, so it is like a collection of short stories that snapshot the period of time we are learning about in Thomas and Rachel’s life.
They really went through everything, and after all they’d already been through and overcome, even though I knew it wouldn’t be easier for them that they would handle it and do what they needed to to get by. It was very emotional, some of the scenes had me in tears but only because I know these characters so well and they have gotten into my heart. Thomas I admire greatly, she did what she had to in order to get to where she wanted to be and achieve her dreams and it paid off. I’m so glad she had Rachel and a few good people in her life to support her.
I really enjoyed this story and can’t recommend it and the Heart Series enough. A truly beautiful and emotional tale, filled with history and heart.

Awesome series
OMG this will make you cry. Not a tear in your eye, but tears running down your cheeks. I had to stop reading because I couldn't see the words.
The author does warn you about a leading characters death. But nothing prepares you for when it happens.
I fell in love with the character's. You become engrossed with their journey and what they over came.
If you read this series you need to read them in order. Also, it's all on kindle unlimited.
Give it a go. Just remember tissues.
Enjoy!

Me ⬆️ after reading the latest and last book in this wonderful, heartfelt, deeply emotional series.
I had to refresh, so I've been busy re-reading the first two and by the time I picked up the last book, I was ready. What I wasn't ready for, though -- and there was a fair warning from the author -- was to have my heart ripped out of my chest. I was still crying after having finished the book. My eyes are still red-rimmed and swollen. Thomas and Rachel's story will forever be embedded in my heart ❤
The Heart series is such a beautiful, heart-rending, deep and poignant story. My heart is still tender.
P.S. There's something I detected from the beginning of this entire series and I have one thing to say about Charlotte, Rachel's sister: I KNEW IT!!!!! ;)

The book is made up of shorter vignettes or novellas that follow the family from the first two books in the series. If you haven't read them it makes it harder to grasp the stories of the characters until well into the book. Thomas (Thomasina) has lived all her life as a man and raised her family with wife Rachel, on a farm then ranch in the Sacramento Valley. The third book takes them from the San Francisco Earthquake in 1906 through the Depression and the World Wars. I wanted there to be more depth to the family saga but found it skimmed over their lives with just major points being shared. I did however, feel the love between Rachel and Thomas throughout the book. It could have been a grand family saga but it just didn't go there.

Fantastic end to the story of Thomas and Rachel. Not going to lie, the last few chapters had me reaching for the tissues!
In anticipation for Heart's Home, I re-read the first two books and the change of pace in this story telling (showing small glimpses over a period time) just felt like the perfect way to tie the story together and let readers know not just about the MC's, but the other lovely side characters as well.
Dreamers writing and storytelling was a homerun in this book and as always, I can't wait to see what he comes up with next.
Cannot recommend this whole series enough.

This is it for me.
I personally will never read another book from Dreamer not because the Author is bad at storytelling or writing it's their vision and story but I feared Thomas outcome from book 1 I always got that feeling from their writing and I've seen enough of it on TV I don't need it from my books also. I just can't trust them not to disappoint me like this again, I escape in books give me the mush and unrealistic endings I don't need this outcome here

Sencillamente hermosa. Este libro lo tiene todo. Un buen cierre para la historia principal. Interesantes historias para los secundarios. Dos específicos (Mujer con mujer) que seria interesante tuvieran su propio spin-off. Me hizo reír, luego llorar, reír, llorar, entristecerme, llorar y al final, me saco una sonrisa. Como dije...sencillamente hermosa.

A very long epilogue
This is basically an epilogue with plot. It's sort of a collection of stories between where the last book left off and present day (2023). It's all mostly based around the primary characters from the first two books, but it brings in new generations too. I may have cried a lot. Can't confirm or deny.

fun and heavy
I wasn’t quite sure about the format when I started, a bunch of short stories grouped by time period, but it worked. The format allowed Dreamer to jump around a bit and use both a narrative and letters to tell everyone’s story. I’m sad to say goodbye to Thomas and Rachel, but am glad I was able to see how things turned out for them.

Dissatisfied.
Spoiler alert! I was very dissatisfied with the ending surrounding Thomas. Not sure if reason for it except sympathy? This series could of continued over generations, but instead, packed it all in
with lackluster details. Certainly enjoyed the other two books.

Such an amazing story!
I have read the whole series and loved every one of them. This one especially made me smile and cry. Definitely going to need some tissues while readingthis one, but it's worth it. Another amazing book by L. Dreamer. Thank you for writing the final chapter to Thomas and Rachel's story.

I didn’t read the first two books in the series but was able to easily understand the history of the main characters. Over all I enjoyed the story and thought the MCs were well developed. I would have liked to have more detail. This could easily have been a much longer book. So much of the time period was glossed over.

What a special series. You really have to read all three books back-to-back to truly feel how special Thomas and Rachel are, and how strong their bond is with each other and with their family. I tore through them in just two days, and I cried so much during the last one that I honestly don’t think I have any tears left. All I can say is: this series is absolutely beautiful from start to finish.

What an ending to this book.
There was a few tear jerker moments in this book, I actually cried my eyes out towards the end.
This book spanned over quite a few years in quick succession. The family had quite a few surprises, heartbreaks, happy events and a whole life lived in full.
Many generations lived through this book.

I literally EAT this book in just a couple of hours. I ended up crying non-stop but it was worth it. I have no words but I'm so happy I finally read this trilogy.
Where can I find a Thomasine or a Rachel?

closure
I love these characters and wish the story would never end. I love the way it closes out and while more can be told, it gives great closure to the founding characters. Thank you for this amazing story of love, grit, and family!

This is a very touching collection of short stories to finish the series. Significantly better than the first two books, which were themselves fine.
