Coralee Taylor, you’ve done it once again! Left me completely speechless! I love how it all comes together! You’re an amazing author! This just like the other two books will continue to live rent free in my mind and heart. I recommend this book and give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Thanks again for allowing me to be a part of your ARC team!

First I want to thank Coralee for blessing me as one of her ARC readers for all three books.
This trilogy was everything I needed, at the end of every book my heart needed answers but by the end of this book my shattered heart was taped back together.

(Until a book I need to read connected to these characters comes out next year!!)

Honestly, when I thought it was wrapping up and my heart was happy and content, another twist comes. There was a situation that happened at the end that I WOULD NEVER see coming, actually most of part 3 I did not see coming and I'd be lying if I said my adrenaline wasn't pumping.
Well played!

Seeing our girl Charlie end up in the arms of the man she was always destined for made my heart soar, it was a privilege to watch her journey / fight for the life and love she always deserved. Even tho I know she lives within the pages, I will always hope her story is nothing but beautiful going forward. Our girl and our boy deserve it!!! Our girl has grown and overcome obstacles that many of us in our lives could never imagine facing, AND AHE MADE IT OUT STRONGER THAN EVER!!! I am so proud of so many of these characters!!

This trilogy shows the importance of mental health, addiction recovery, communication, healing, and simply living life. When you begin to love yourself things fall into place, when you realize you deserve forgiveness from yourself then you can heal.. and then you can possibly save someone else in the process just by showing them how amazing life can be.

Please remember reaching out isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength. Yes people need you, yes people will miss you but YOU deserve to be here and live / love life for you! You matter!

This book was amazing! A rollercoaster of emotions. I cried, I laughed, I cried again & then was on the edge of my seat! This character is you or me. She's a friend or a sister. She feels so real, even if I never experienced her trauma, I just did. This book will stay with you. It will be one you'll think about for weeks, months after you read this.

The scream I scrumpt when I got the ARC on my kindle!!! I have been dying waiting for the conclusion of Charlotte’s story and I was not disappointed at all. No spoilers but she ended up with whom she always meant to be with and the boy I was subconsciously rooting for the whole time anyway. :)
This book was once again a rollercoaster with amazing ups and unexpected downs. Just when you think this is a happy time for the characters, another twist comes and your heart is racing again. This book, like the whole series, is never boring. There are no slow parts, no meaningless filler. It’s all a fantastic whirlwind of a love story like no other.
I can’t wait for the next books for the side characters. And I know he’s a side-side character, but I NEED more of Charming, bc that man definitely charmed me already and he was in the book for all of 5 seconds.

The amount of joy I felt when I looked at my kindle and say this ARC. After the cliffhanger in the last book (If you haven't read the first 2 books STOP RIGHT NOW AND READ THEM), I was literally on the edge on my seat wondering what was going to happen to Charlotte next and who was going to be her happy ever after. The roller coaster of emotions that I felt while reading this wouldn't let me out it down. This series as a whole has been AMAZING and I am sad the main series is over. Charlotte goes through so much in her life and she is one STRONG woman to be able to come out of it all.

PLEASE READ YOUR TRIGGER WARNINGS. Thank you, Coralee for such a great series! I can't wait to see what you come up with next!

THE END-Worst part of the whole book (just because I didn't want it to end)

Review: I Choose You, Charlotte by Coralee Taylor

I Choose You, Charlotte is everything you could want in a conclusion to a series. Coralee Taylor delivers a story that tugs at your heartstrings, breaking your heart only to carefully piece it back together.

One of the things I love most about Taylor's writing is her ability to make you feel—and this book is no exception. The emotional depth, the compelling characters, and the satisfying resolution all come together to create a truly unforgettable experience.

If you’ve followed this series, you’ll find this finale to be a perfect blend of heartbreak and hope, a testament to Taylor’s gift for storytelling. This is a book that stays with you long after you’ve turned the final page.

[Nichole Johnson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This whole series has my complete heart. It has been a wild roller-coaster ride but this book finally gave me the closure and ending I desperately needed! Charlotte, Jason, and Zach endure so so much. These books were filled with pain, trauma, and heartbreak. Finally, with this book you start to see healing, amends, and just downright resilience and redemption. All the pain led to something truly beautiful and I was so there for it. I absolutely love all the side characters as well and the found family aspect. I'll forever recommend this series. It's phenomenal. I can't wait to read the books about the side characters.

[Jennifer · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was everything you’d want in a conclusion to a series. It was captivating, had me on the edge of my seat hoping for one thing, but then shatters your heart and you’re hoping for another. But wait, what you thought was real wasn’t actually the truth and now you don’t know what to hope for except a happily ever after because that’s what this group of characters deserves so much. But then that emotional rollercoaster takes an unexpected drop that makes your heart fall through your stomach and you can’t stop turning pages just needing to know what happens! So yeah… read it!!!

[Toni Amey · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was the final book in Charlotte’s trilogy and I swear my heart is still hurting for her yet so completely healed. The direction of this book did not go the way I was expecting and honestly because of that I think it made me love it so much more. Charlotte went through so much in her life but she finally got her HEA and I’m so sad it’s over. This trilogy completely consumed me, but I can’t wait to read the other characters stories! This trilogy is definitely a must read!

[Jessica · Rating 5 out of 5]

Miss Coralee Taylor just makes me feel so much and that is what I love about her writing.

This was a great ending to the series but boy did I still end up crying for a special someone at the end!

Charlotte and Savvy are just so freakin adorably funny.

These characters will forever be part of me and I can’t wait for the spin offs

[Larae Marie · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Ties that Bind Series. Is an absolutely must-read. I Choose you Charlotte will give you tears of pain and tears of Joy. Charlottes' story is so relatable, and she is one of the strongest women I would absolutely love to meet. Jason was not my favorite at first. But he is such a good wholesome man. I absolutely loved this Story.

[Taylor Bailey · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Ties that Bind series. Where do I start. Okay I’ll start by saying WOW. This is a must read. It keeps you on the edge of your seat. You’re not going to want to put it down. It’s a roller coaster of emotions. You wanna cry you wanna laugh you wanna get in the book and just hold Charlotte. I love it.

[JesseeKay · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a wild ride! I fell in love with Charlie’s story from the first page in the first book. She felt like she was me, or like someone who could have been my best friend.

This book, the final book in her story was dang near perfection. A rollercoaster of danger, fear, excitement, love, friendships and relationships culminating in the best ending.

[Mickiah Johnson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series was amazing! Charlotte is such a beautiful character, after all she's been through, she still has a heart of gold! I love the bonds in this series and the reminder that family isn't defined only by blood. I've become an instant fan of Coralee Taylor. I will read whatever her beautiful mind comes up with next!

[Tara · Rating 4 out of 5]

I couldn’t wait to find out what Charlottes happily ever after was going to be like, or who it was going to be with. I loved the book, it did seem a bit rushed at times and then other times seemed to drag on but I loved her ending.

[Brooke · Rating 5 out of 5]

I don’t even know where to begin other than the fact that this was such a good read!! 🖤 (See what I did there 😉) I loved the characters and the friendships are so special. 🥰 The series as a whole is phenomenal and I’ll never stop obsessing over or recommending it. 🙂‍↔️🫶🏻

[Julia · Rating 5 out of 5]

what a great conclusion to this trilogy. it all came together perfectly and answered any questions I may have had. It was an emotional rollercoaster but I'm so glad I read these books 😊❤️

I don’t even know where

[Sandie Oiler · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was the perfect way to end this trilogy!

[Sarah Danielle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Blown. Away. I could not put this down. Every time I told myself “just one more chapter” something else crazy happened! Our girl Charlotte has been through so much. Please check trigger warnings as her story is a dark traumatic one. I truly want stories from each character; they were all so complex and have their own interesting histories. Charlotte’s humor with Coralee’s storytelling makes for a comedic, easy read about life, addiction/recovery, family and love. A little spicy too! I noticed so much growth from the first book to this one in the story and in the writing. Felt all the feels and really loved this one

[Jennifer Wilson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ookay.. I was dying for this book after reading the last one. Like I neeeded to know Charlie’s story and needed to know if she gets her happily ever after, and who it would be with. And I gotta say, i absolutely loved this book. And I absolutely loved the incredible, strong, and amazing person Charlotte grew into. She went through sooo much.. and more than anything deserved her HEA. This book.. it had me in tears.. and not wanting to put it down. I needed to know what was going to happen next. Absolutely 100% recommend this series.

[Felicia Zarazua · Rating 5 out of 5]

Tropes & Themes:
🖤Check TW
🖤Mental Health Rep.
🖤Emotional Gut Punch
🖤Addiction & Recovery
🖤Romance & Heartbreak

This final book was a wild ride, with many pieces coming full circle. My heart breaks for Zach- the author has a standalone from his POV, I might just need to read to get the closure I want for him.

[Michelle Munger · Rating 4 out of 5]

Loved this third book!
Must read these series in order!

I Choose You Charlotte is a great wrap up book to the series and it didn’t disappoint! Charlotte finds her way back to her old boyfriend and overtime they become close again and mend their broken relationship. During this, Charlotte finds herself a job she loves and eventually opens an adult treatment facility. It was great to see Charlotte overcome everything she has gone through and get her happy ending.

[Angie Holden · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’ve got to give a huge shoutout to Coralee for letting me read this trilogy early, it’s honestly been a heart-wrenching, soul-healing ride. Each book left me with so many questions, and I couldn’t wait to find out how Charlotte’s story would end. Now that I’ve finished, I feel like everything finally clicked into place, and my heart can take a breath.

Just when I thought I knew where things were going, the story threw me a curveball that knocked me sideways. I was gasping, crying, smiling..you name it. Coralee really dives deep into life’s messier moments, exploring love, addiction, healing, and forgiveness in a way that feels so real. Charlotte is the kind of character you can’t help but cheer for, and watching her grow and fight for her happiness was nothing short of inspiring.

By the time I turned the last page, it hit me how much this story mattered. It’s not just about getting a happy ending, it’s about understanding that reaching out for help isn’t weakness but strength. This trilogy will stick with me for a long time, and I’m already counting down until we return to these characters in whatever comes next.

[LeAnn Hale · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was an emotional journey for Charlotte and all the characters in the story. The character development was so good! Each character had their development, without sacrificing any other plots. I went into this book hoping for one outcome, only to be thrown for a loop. I understood and respected Jason so much more. What he went through was so awful! I feel like this was his story as much as it was Charlotte's. I can't wait to read the next stories of Charlie's friends and the other guy that wasn't chosen.

[Shelby McCoy · Rating 5 out of 5]

WOW! What a wrap up to Charlotte’s story. The twists in this one were WILD and definitely not what I was expecting. Charlotte definitely wound up with the right one in the end.
I can’t wait to see Savvy’s story!
