Endlessly Yours

The Wilder Brothers #10

by Carrie Ann Ryan

Four years ago, I promised my dying wife that I’d do one thing: I’d move on.

And I knew as I took that oath, I would break it.

Then I saw Rory. The woman I’d met on one of my darkest nights, and the woman I can’t ignore. Our one night is a secret we swore we’d never tell.

When I see her, I see a glimpse of what could be in the fire in her eyes.

When she sees me, she sees the grumpy, annoying Wilder brother who could shatter her dreams and her heart.

With one stolen kiss, we both know we have a choice: to keep running or finally give in.

Only when she suddenly finds herself the guardian to her two nieces, the world crumbles around us once again. She needs to protect her family, and I know I can’t let her do it alone.

The pull between us refuses to go away, but now I’ll have to choose which promise to break. And if I’m strong enough to be the final Wilder to fall.

When the love of your life and high school sweetheart leaves you in the worst way, by dying, how do you function? Brook's tale is one of sorrow, guilt, and woe. He struggles to keep his wife's dying wish and promise. He adamantly is against it and for years has done exactly the opposite. Oddly enough when his brothers confront him with his behaviour versus what his wife had wanted, it does give him pause. This book can be read as a standalone but I would recommend reading the entire series.

Widower Brooks is haunted by two things: a promise he made to his dying wife to find love again, and the woman with whom he had a torrid one night stand with on the one year mark of his wife’s passing. So it’s inconvenient to say the least that his one off has relocated to his hometown and is firmly in the pocket of his sister-in-law, leading to confusing and frustrating run ins with the feisty beauty.

Illustrator Rory loves her life in Texas Hill Country, even if she’s unable to avoid the man who gave her a night she can’t forget. When tragedy strikes, however, and she becomes the guardian of two little girls who don’t remember her, gruff Brooks steps up in a big way, insisting she live in the large vacant rental home next door to his so the girls won’t have to live in her cramped and outdated apartment.

Despite Rory’s best efforts to steer clear of her sexy neighbor, the girls, especially the seven year old, make that impossible. Soon big feelings become involved but it takes ghosts of the past and a life threatening situation for either to admit to them.

This was a beautiful, love after loss after more loss romance which is the tenth and final book in the Wilder family series. Carrie Ann Ryan has created a book that’s rich in feelings and which explores the spectrum of grief without dipping into melancholy. I devoured it in an evening. The steamy parts are deliciously heated, and it’s a satisfying conclusion to the series. But fear not, Wilder/Montgomery fans: there’s sure to be crossover in the upcoming Ashford Creek series.

I was very fortunate to have received an advance reader copy from the author, and I’m pleased to share my honest review.

The final book in the Wilder brothers series. This one features Brooks and Rory.  

Brooks thinks that he has already had his forever love and isn’t looking to fall in love again but he can’t get Rory out of his head lately. Brooks had promised his dead wife that he would fall in love again but it was a promise he was willing to break as he couldn’t see himself ever falling in love again. 

Rory has always been a little bit in love with Brooks, ever since a hot one night stand they had many years ago.  Rory is the family friend that is at all the Wilder functions and so spending time with Brooks is always a challenge. 


A great story which had me ugly crying in parts and laughing out loud in others. Carrie-Ann knows how to create characters who feel like they are your own friends and you want them to have a happy ending. 


Another great book and I am a little sad that the Wilder brothers series has come to an end, but I am sure we will see them in one of Carrie-Ann’s future books. 


Thank you author for the advance copy and I leave this review voluntarily

Endlessly Yours was an emotional read, as you can surmise from the blurb. Be prepared because at any given moment, you will have tears spilling from your eyes. There is heartache on both Brooks' and Rory's side, so it's a double whammy. But it's worth it because Carrie Ann delivers us a great ending, as if that is any surprise. I am a firm believer that she loves to tear us apart only to put us back together again, in the best possible way.

Emma Wilder and Teddy Hamilton did the narration for Endlessly Yours. If you can listen to the book, I highly recommend it; the narration was fantastic. You could feel every emotion as if the events were happening to the narrators themselves. The heartbreak, when Brooks agrees to his wife's dying wish, the devastation when Rory finds out she is now the guardian to her two nieces, and the raw heat when Brooks and Rory have fun inside and outside of the bedroom. Shear perfection.

I am sad to see this series ending, but very excited to see what Carrie Ann Ryan has in store for us with the upcoming Ashford Creek Series. And I am sure we will see the Wilders pop up from time to time.

ARC REVIEW
ENDLESSLY YOURS
21 JULY
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

The final chapter in the Wilder Brothers series, and Carrie Ann Ryan absolutely saved the best for last.

Widower Brooks Wilder has been determined to go it alone ever since losing his wife to cancer. Even though he promised her he'd find love again, grief has held him back—until Rory enters his life.

Rory is the first woman to crack the walls around Brooks’s heart, and despite their awkward family ties, the pull between them is electric. Brooks fights it, but some chemistry is just too powerful to ignore.

When tragedy strikes Rory’s world, leaving her the guardian of her orphaned nieces, it’s Brooks—and the entire Wilder family—who show up for her. It’s a turning point for Brooks: will he find the courage to honor his promise, face his fears, and become the man Rory and the girls need?
A deeply emotional story about love, loss, and the bravery it takes to embrace a second chance. 

Endlessly Yours is the perfect farewell to the Wilder brothers—and an unforgettable reminder that sometimes, love really is worth the risk

[Vfields Don't touch my happy! · Rating 4 out of 5]

I’m assuming this is the last book is the end of this particular series and I really enjoyed it. We all knew most of his back story and we were ready for an end. I think Carrie Ann Ryan did very well with it. The two little girls were interesting. We could’ve gone deeper into their development, but it’s OK that we didn’t. I loved when each child individually had a breakthrough, that was well done. It was a good, positive way to end the series with lots of love, sex, laugh, and lots of cheese.

It was a fun and easy read that I really liked, You get hooked from the first page
If you enjoy a good second chance in love romances, you’ll probably enjoy this book.
The characters go through grieff and loss but find their way back to happiness.
It’s a sweet and emotional story with a satisfying ending.

[Debbie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Endlessly Yours is the last book in Carrie Ann Ryan’s Wilder Brothers series. It was the perfect book to end the series. And, Carrie
Ann Ryan does a beautiful job of respectfully writing about how the main characters (Brooks & Rory) handle losing a love one and
grieving that loss. Brooks lost his wife to cancer. Rory loses her twin sister and is given guardianship of her nieces - Alice & Cameron.
Together, they form a bond while grieving and slowly become a family. They come to realize that communication is very important as
they navigate the path of grieving. His family and their friends are there to provide support and love to all of them as Brooks & Rory
& the girls come together as a family.
Thank you Carrie Ann for the opportunity to read an arc for this beautifully written story about love, loss, and second chances. It
was Chef’s Kiss.

Brooks made his wife a deathbed promise that he'd move on and find love. He may have made the promise but in his heart and mind he never intended on really fulfilling it - she was his first love, and to him, his only. But life has a funny way of showing you a different path. On the anniversary of her death, he was drowning his sorrows and met a woman with similar pain. It was supposed to be just once and it was, until that same beautiful soul walked back into his life. Now he has to decide if he can truly open up his frozen heart to love again, to fulfill the promise he had made.



On that fateful night when Rory met Brooks, she was grieving, and could see that same kind of pain in his eyes. The time they spent together was really just grief meeting grief, but left an indelible mark on her (and him). She never thought she'd see him again, until she does - years later. She's struck up a friendship with his sister-in-law and other Wilders, and life is looking up, even if there's a hole in her heart caused by her estrangement from her sister and nieces. Then the unthinkable happens, and now she's got to open up her whole world, her home, her life, to those nieces. Thank God the Wilder clan has drawn her and her nieces into their fold, that they've got support. Especially in the strong, but distant, arms of Brooks, the man she had that unforgettable, but grief-filled night with. She knows in between them there's a ghost in the form of his first (only?) love, his wife, but maybe, just maybe, she (and the girls) can help fill that void with their love.



I knew Brooks' story would be a doozy, and boy is it. How can one not make a promise your dying spouse is begging you to make? And how can you really fulfill that promise when your heart is still with your first love? Thank God he met Rory, and that her own grief called to his, but her even bigger heart outshone both their grief. And then the girls...they were the catalyst, because without them, I'm not so sure Brooks would have ever been motivated enough to reach out, to support Rory, because he was still in so much pain. He, Rory and the girls make a beautiful found family and though they experienced pain and grief, their love was stronger than all the hurt. I'm seriously bummed the Wilders are done falling in love, but if they had to end, there couldn't have been a better story to end with than with Brooks, Rory, and their girls.

This one brings about the end to the series, which is a bit sad. It had been fun watching them all build the business while they all fall in love. This one is a bit tough...Brooks was married and lost his love and is still bitter about it, rightfully so. He's having a hard time moving on, despite it being 4 years later.

Brooks has an interesting connection with Rory, one that he had hoped would stay in the past. But when he realizes that she's his sister-in-law's BFF, it's a bit awkward. They were so weird around each other, not really talking about the past or their attraction, till they were forced too. But even as things are weird and awkward, Brooks steps in to help Rory when needed.

Things were bumpy for them due to outside things and their own awkwardness, right up until they were able to admit there was something there. Once that happened, then their relationship side of things was pretty smooth and they were left to figure out the outside things, which followed quickly. Nice to see every one happy at the end.

[Kimberly · Rating 5 out of 5]

Thank you to Carrie Ann Ryan for my gifted ARC of this unforgettable story. I’ve followed every single Wilder brother and loved their stories, but Endlessly Yours was something different. Something deeper. It felt like coming home and saying goodbye all at once — the kind of goodbye that’s soft and full of love, even as it breaks your heart a little.

This is Brooks’ book, the last Wilder standing. And from the start of the series, he was always the quiet one. The grumpy one. The one who stood off to the side while everyone else found their happily ever after. But now I understand why. His love story needed space. It needed time. And when it finally arrived, it bloomed in the most gentle, powerful way.

Four years ago, Brooks lost his wife to cancer. He was the first of the Wilder brothers to marry, and then the first to lose. Before she passed, she asked one thing of him — to move forward. To find love again. To let himself live, even without her. It’s a promise he made out loud but never truly believed he could keep. For years, he didn’t even try. Then, on the anniversary of her death, he met Rory.

That night wasn’t supposed to be more than a fleeting escape. A moment to forget, just for a few hours. Two people with bruised hearts, finding comfort in each other. But neither of them ever forgot. Not really.

Fast forward, and Rory is back — not as a stranger, but as a close friend of the family. She’s best friends with Brooks’ sister-in-law and suddenly finds herself thrust into the middle of Wilder life. She’s also grieving, in her own way. Her twin sister and brother-in-law have died in a tragic accident, and Rory is now the legal guardian of two young girls she hasn’t seen in years.

The timing is impossible. The emotions are heavy. But when Brooks sees her again, something shifts in him. Something wakes up. And Rory, overwhelmed and heartbroken, finds herself leaning on the one person she never expected to see again — the man who once held her through the night, when both of them thought their hearts couldn’t hold any more pain.

Their romance is a slow burn, and that’s what made it so satisfying. It’s not about rushing into love. It’s about the long, careful process of choosing it. Of trusting it. Of letting it in, even when it scares you. Brooks doesn’t swoop in as a savior. Rory doesn’t pretend she doesn’t need help. They navigate each other gently. They show up. They support. They build something — not on top of their pain, but alongside it.

And the girls — Alice and Cameron — added so much to this story. They aren’t just background characters. They’re full of grief and confusion and innocence, and watching Rory become the guardian they needed was beautiful. Watching Brooks soften around them, protect them, laugh with them, broke me open more than once. This isn’t just a love story between a man and a woman. It’s about becoming a family, even when the road there is unexpected and messy.

Carrie Ann Ryan has always written with heart, but this book felt especially personal. The way she writes grief is so honest. It’s never dramatic or showy — it’s quiet and real and aching. But she also writes hope. Gentle hope that creeps in when you least expect it and wraps itself around you until you’re ready to feel again.

One of my favorite lines from the book came when Brooks finally let down the last of his walls. He looked at Rory and said, “Some people never get a second great love. I didn’t think I would. But here you are.” That line stayed with me. Because that’s what this book is about. The second great love. The one you didn’t see coming. The one you almost didn’t let yourself believe in.

By the end, I was crying happy tears — not just because Brooks and Rory finally found their way to each other, but because the whole Wilder family felt complete. This series has been about more than just romance. It’s been about healing, legacy, growth, and the many ways we find and hold on to love.

Endlessly Yours was the perfect conclusion to a series I’ve come to treasure. It’s the kind of book that lingers after the last page. Soft. Steady. Full of heart. I’m going to miss the Wilders, but I know their stories will stay with me for a long time.🩷🩷🩷

My review is written after listening to the audio version of this book.

Endlessly Yours moved me deeply; it touched a place deep in my heart, possibly because I'm a widow, and could totally understand where Brooks was coming from. Although I have loved every book in The Wilder Brothers Series, this one affected me more than the earlier books and has become my favourite.

Brooks and Rory’s story drew me in, pulled me into their lives and kept me listening until the last word. Brooks lost his wife, his childhood sweetheart, to cancer, but before she died, she extracted a promise from him that he would try to find love again and not spend his life alone. It's a promise he had no intention of keeping. But despite the walls he built around his heart, everything changed when he met Rory.

Brooks and Rory first met on the anniversary of his wife's death, it was in the airport lounge bar. She was hurting too; these two grieving people found themselves drawn together and spent the night together, neither knew that they had people in common and neither expected to ever meet again, but fate had other plans for them.....

When Brooks sees Rory again at the Wilder Retreat, he discovers that the woman he made love with is his sister-in-law's best friend. Now both find themselves working at the Wilder Retreat, whilst they try to ignore each other, the attraction and chemistry which drew them together initially are still there.

Rory’s a self-employed illustrator of both romance and children’s books; it's a job she loves, and she's become a good friend to all the Wilder women. The only family she has is her twin sister and her two nieces from whom she is estranged; despite their estrangement, she loves her sister deeply, so when her sister and her brother-in-law are killed in an aircrash, it affects her deeply, but the Wilders, especially Brooks, step up to help. Brooks made sure they had a safe place to live by letting them live in a house he owns next door to his, because the apartment Rory had was too small.

Her sister and her husband were members of a 'cult like organisation' who have inherited everything on their deaths. But her sister's Will has named Rory as guardian to her two nieces, a responsibility she wholeheartedly embraces. But it's not an easy task. The girls have had a tough time; Alice, the youngest, is a cutie, while Cameron, who is almost a teenager, is angry and resentful, and doesn't know how to cope with all the changes, and Ms Ryan's writing style makes you feel the hurt that these girls have experienced as well as Rory's sense of inadequacy.

Brooks tries to keep his distance and hide behind his grumpy facade, but it proves impossible; he's never forgotten their night together or the feelings Rory evoked in him and makes a vow to help her and protect her and the girls any way he can. The instant chemistry they shared when they first met is still there. But they will need more than chemistry if they are going to make things work

I loved these two together; they were perfect for each other.

The narration is wonderfully performed by Robert Hatchett and Kit Swann, both did an amazing job bringing this story to life and bringing every emotion to the fore. Robert’s narration of Brooks was gruff yet protective; he was the embodiment of Brooks, whilst Kit brought Rory’s genuine, kind and caring personality alive.

[Linda Ketter · Rating 4 out of 5]

Endlessly Yours is the tenth and final Wilder Brothers book and is a bittersweet ending to this series. We follow Brooks on a journey to open up and love again with Rory after tragedy has struck both of them and left them floundering.

Four years ago, Brooks lost his wife to cancer. He made her a promise right before she died that he would find love again. On the first anniversary of her death, he finds himself at an airport bar drowning his sorrows. And this is where he meets a woman who is also drowning her sorrows. They hook up for one night.

Rory was struggling with the death of her parents and the fact that her twin sister had joined a commune and wanted nothing to do with her. That meant, she lost her entire family, including her nieces, in succession. She is on her way home, after settling some affairs for her parents estate, and decides to have a drink in the airport bar. Never did she expect to meet a man there and have a one night hook up.

When Rory walks in to the Wilder Resort to help her best friend marry the man of her dreams, she never expected to come face to face with her one night stand from years ago.

Sadly, Brooks would prefer to forget that night happened three years ago. But he cannot forget the woman.

When Rory is notified that her twin sister and brother in law have been killed and she is now the guardian of their two children, the Wilder women rally around her. And even Brooks gives her the keys to one of his furnished rental homes so they have enough space for all three of them.

Brooks always seems to be around, checking on them and making sure everything is going okay for them. He is worried about the girls and about Rory. Spending all of this time with them is making it hard to pretend that he and Rory do not have chemistry.

But when his past inserts itself in his present, Brooks has to have a very hard conversation. He never expected to tell his in laws about the promise Amara, his wife, asked him to make. He never expected to honor that promise. But when they walk up on a family get together at his home, he needs to have a hard conversation.

While he is having this conversation, the weather turns and mother nature will wield her wrath. When Rory and her oldest niece are caught in the melee, truths will be spoken, fears will be verbalized and grief will come to the forefront.

This is such an emotional story. Truths will be spoken, and need to be spoken, but it will break your heart. Promises have been made that seem impossible to keep. One will be kept, but one will be broken and it will cause so much grief to a young woman.

Be prepared to cry. Be prepared to be mad. Be prepared to be scared for others.

But when someone is in trouble, feelings are put aside and it becomes all about saving them. And in the process healing some holes in broken hearts.

It has been awhile since I have listened to a Robert Hatchett narration. I forgot how much I truly enjoy his voice. He plays Brooks so well with his grief and how patient he is with Rory's nieces. And Kit Swann is always a joy to listen to. I love her kid voice and her snarky pre-teen voice.

Endlessly Yours by Carrie Ann Ryan, book ten in the Wilder Brothers series, is an amazing heartwarming, deeply emotional story about love, loss, and the bravery it takes to embrace a second chance. This perfect farewell to the Wilder brothers is an unforgettable reminder that sometimes, love really is worth the risk.

Four years ago, Brooks lost his wife to cancer. He was the first of the Wilder brothers to marry, and then the first to lose. Before she passed, she asked one thing of him: to move forward, to find love again, to let himself live, even without her. It’s a promise he made out loud but never truly believed he could keep. For years, he didn’t even try. Then, on the first anniversary of her death, he met Rory. It was a night that was supposed to be only a quick escape. A moment to forget, just for a few hours, for two people, with bruised hearts, finding comfort in each other. But neither of them ever forgot.

Rory’s a self-employed illustrator of both romance and children’s books; it's a job she loves, and she's become a good friend to all the Wilder women. When tragedy strikes Rory’s world is upended. Her estranged twin sister and brother-in-law have died in a tragic accident, and Rory is now the legal guardian of two young girls she hasn’t seen in years.

With emotions overflowing and heavy with grief, it is Brooks, along with the entire Wilder family, who show up for her. Rory, overwhelmed and heartbroken, finds herself leaning on the one person, a man who once held her through the night when both of them thought their hearts couldn’t hold any more pain. It’s the turning point Brooks needed to honor his promise, face his fears, face his fears, and become the man Rory and the girls need.

The girls, Alice and Cameron, play an important part in this story. They’re full of grief and confusion and innocence, and watching Rory become the guardian they needed was beautiful. Watching Brooks soften around them, protect them, laugh with them, broke me open more than once. This isn’t just a love story between a man and a woman. It’s about becoming a family, even when the road there is unexpected and messy. It’s not about rushing into love. It’s about the long, careful process of choosing it, trusting it, letting it in, even when it scares you. Brooks doesn’t swoop in as a savior. Rory doesn’t pretend she doesn’t need help. They navigate each other gently. They show up. They support. They build something, not on top of their pain, but alongside it.

Carrie Ann Ryan has always written with heart, but this book felt especially personal. The way she writes grief is so honest. It’s never dramatic or showy — it’s quiet and real and aching. But she also writes hope. Gentle hope that creeps in when you least expect it and wraps itself around you until you’re ready to feel again.

Welcome back to Texas and the Wilder family…where you’ll find wine, beer, good food, and an Wilder or two…okay, maybe nine or ten Wilder men…

Endlessly Yours is Brooks & Rory’s story…and the last book in the ‘first-generation’ of Wilders, as I’m sure Carrie Ann Ryan will be bringing us their children’s stories within a year or two…

Brooks & Rory’s paths had crossed before he spotted her again on the grounds of the Wilder Winery & Resort…they’d met several years before…in a airport bar…spent a night of passion together…

Brooks is the last Wilder ‘standing’ as one would say…though he was the first to marry…but was widowed when his wife passed from cancer…after making him promise—promise to live & try to find love again…

Rory is an freelance graphic artist, best friends with Brooks’ sister-in-law…and now guardian of her two nieces…nieces she hasn’t seen in years…due to decisions made by Rory’s late sister & brother-in-law…

Now…

They’re neighbors…

They’re fighting their attraction for each other…

But what happens when they give into their attraction for each other?

Can they figure out how to blend their lives…and will the last stubborn Wilder finally fall?

The answers…within the pages of Endlessly Yours. I loved, loved, this series…and possibly am in the process of deciding which one possibly topped everyone else for number one…leaving the other nine at number two…

What I love about this series (and truthfully all series) that Carrie Ann Ryan writes—you can pick up any book in the series to start…any book as the jumping off point. Do you miss a few ‘inside jokes’…possibly, but that would probably true even reading them in order (at least for me), because I don’t always have the time to go back & do a re-read of the previous books.

Am I sad that this was the ‘finale’ for the Wilders? Yes…but, we’ll be seeing one or two (maybe…probably Gabe) in a new series that starts in 2026…since Gabe’s wife has numerous siblings that need their happily-ever-after. That’s the other great thing about Carrie Ann Ryan’s books—if an significant other is introduced with siblings…you know that there is a really good chance that those siblings may find themselves in a series.

Five out of five stars for Endlessly Yours, and if I could give the entire series a hundred stars I would. If you haven’t read an Wilder book yet…grab this one to start…then take some vacation time to get to know the Wilders, their significant others, and their friends. There is always wine, possibly beer, and good foods on hand at the Wilder Resort & Winery.

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Endlessly Yours is one of those stories that will take the reader on an emotional roller coaster ride. It will own your heart, and the characters will stay etched in your memory long after turning the last page.

Carrie Ann Ryan has done it again.

In Endlessly Yours, she delivers another emotional, heartfelt story in the Wilder Brothers series. This time, we get a guarded hero learning to open his heart to love again, and a heroine who balances strength with vulnerability. 

Brooks Wilder is still reeling from the loss of his wife and the deathbed promise he made—a promise he never truly intended to keep. He loved her deeply and couldn’t imagine ever making space in his heart for someone else. On the anniversary of his wife’s death, Brooks comes face-to-face with Rory who’s battling her own heartbreak. Two strangers, each carrying invisible scars, find unexpected solace in one another. In the middle of their grief, they create something beautiful—a moment of connection that feels like magic. It was supposed to be just one night. However, fate had other plans.

Rory never saw the shift in her life coming. One moment, she's focused on rebuilding her life after a string of personal losses. The next, she steps into the role of guardian for her two young nieces. In the blink of an eye, she became their safe place and source of stability—even as she struggled to keep herself together.

Despite the chaos, Rory is determined to protect the girls and give them the love and security they deserve. But doing it alone isn’t easy. Thank goodness for the Wilder Clan who offered her much needed support.

Brooks was reluctant at first to offer help as a result of his attempts of fighting his attraction to Rory. However, the moment he sees Rory shouldering more than anyone should have to carry alone, he steps in. He helps with the girls, shows up when it matters, and becomes the steady presence she didn’t know she needed.

Though his wife’s loss still haunts him, Brooks chooses to stand by Rory and her nieces. Each small act of care and quiet moment of support slowly breaks down the walls around their hearts.

As they spend more time together, the connection between them deepens. Rory lets Brooks see the woman beneath the grief—the one capable of love, loyalty, and quiet strength. And Brooks, despite his fears, starts to trust her with the pieces of his heart he thought he’d buried for good.

Endlessly Yours is a story about love after loss, and the strength it takes to let someone in again. If you love second chances, found family, and romance that hits you right in the heart, this one’s a must-read. With Endlessly Yours, Carrie Ann Ryan proves that not only does love heals—it also transforms.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading

Endlessly Yours in one of those “second love” stories that will require a box of tissues along with a decent glass of wine (or whisky for those like me), but in the end you will be glad that you went through the trauma and joy of experiencing it. I knew going in that I would be heartbroken for Brooks as he was forced to finally come to terms with the lose of his wife and accept that even though she was gone, he was still here and that taking a second chance at love wouldn’t diminish how much he loved his wife. Brooks has finally come to a point where the pain of losing his wife has dulled enough that it doesn’t fill his chest and burn through him every moment of the day, but moving on like he promised her still seems like a betrayal, even though every time he sees or touches Rory, he wants her. When her life is changed irrevocably, Brooks cannot fight the need to be there for her and help her through the changes, but he also needs her in his arms and the more he is with her his heart slowly heals enough to allow her in as well. Rory never imagined her life would shift into becoming a guardian with two little girls she barely knows and a man suddenly living in one big happy family, and she doesn’t trust the change. She wants Brooks and knows that she has fallen for him but trusting that he has finally moved forward and will give his heart is another matter and only a true act of love can show her just how deeply he has fallen, so that they can have a future together. Obviously, the passion between these two is combustible every time their eyes meet, much less when they touch or allow themselves to slip the chain of their control, but the moments when their love shines through heat (even when they both still deny the feeling) are my favorites. Ending this series was difficult, even knowing we’d get to see more of them in coming spin-offs, because we have been with the Wilders for years now and come to love them as much as we did the Montgomerys. If you are a Wilder Brothers, fan I will tell you this story will be everything you hoped and more, but for those just coming into the world, I beg of you PLEASE at least go back to the beginning of the cousins (Moments for You) and start there before you dive into this story. Endings truly are never sad because they only make room for new and beautiful beginnings—and I know Carrie Ann Ryan will give us beauty.

As a lifelong fan of Carrie Ann Ryan's books, being able to finally be apart of her street team and content team to continue spreading the word of her books made me excited going into this last installment "Endlessly Yours"? The 10th and final installment of the Wilder Brother series and we get the brother of mystery all along, Brooks with his love story of grief and second chance with Rory releases July 21st and I had to opportunity to obtain an advanced readers copy. Read the triggers and prepare for the tissues because this book goes through loss, pain and fears of future after death.

Brook's lost his wife and on her anniversary reconnects with a one night stand with our FMC, Rory. When she relocates to his hometown of Texas Hill; all hell breaks loose in traditional fashion but it keeps you wanting to read on and not put the novel down. As always, the family tags themself into his love life and create sweet chaos that brings them together through our favorote writing of Carrie Ann with sweet banter, angsty, and fiesty run ins that he reminds himself he can find love again with the one that got away.

Rory is an illustrator who relocates to Texas Hill county to start over and only runs into the memorable one night stand of a Wilder man and she cant seem to let him go mentally. A traumatic loss occurs in the beginning and she now has two kiddos, Camerone and Alice who come into her life and do not know one another and have to come to terms this is permanent. Alice comes in like a wrecking ball and makes it harder to avoid Brooks when she keeps meddling in her own little way that connects Brooks and Rory against both wish.

This book is beautifully written, i feel like Carrie wrote this for her own personal mindset with the loss of her husband and finding herself again and I bow down because queen, "Endlessly Yours" is the book of the year for me and a perfect wrap up to this series with Brooks and Rory. Classic Carrie Ann Ryan, the 🌶 is super spicy and must read and not put down. Fear not though, a crossover is coming for sure between Wilder/Montgomery favorite people we havent read yet and I can't wait!

**Audiobook Review**

Oh my heart, all the emotions were poured into this story. “Endlessly Yours” is a romantic, emotional, and steamy small town, second chance at love romance that was a wonderful addition to the “The Wilder Brothers” series.

It’s been four years since Brooks lost his wife to cancer and he made a promise to her that he wouldn’t give up on life and love. But when his one night stand on the anniversary of her death happens to be a close family friend, Brooks is thrown for a loop. Rory is close with most of the Wilder women and when she finds out her estranged sister has passed, she leans on them even more. Especially because she is now the guardian of her two nieces who miss their mom terribly. Brooks has never forgotten their night and vows to help her and protect her in any way he can. The chemistry they had that night is still there and as they spend time together, lines start to blur again.

From the first chapter, I was hooked on Brooks and Rory’s story. Brooks suffered a great loss losing his wife to cancer and that shaped him for sure. But under that wall he built, is a guy who is still so capable of love and I loved how he found it with Rory. Rory is an amazing woman and I loved how close she was with the Wilder women. She’s an illustrator for children’s books as well as romance books and that is such a fun career. Her twin sister and her were estranged but she always loved her no matter what. And she immediately stepped up to raise her nieces. Those little girls had a tough time and she was the rock they needed. Brooks had a grumpy exterior but he was there for Rory and her nieces without hesitation. The chemistry between them was instant when they met that first night and lingered underneath while they figured things out. But they also built a relationship on trust because they had been so much before they had even met. I loved these two together and their story was perfect.

Robert Hatchett and Kit Swann narrated as Brooks and Rory and they did an amazing job bringing this story to life. Both were so passionate and nailed all the emotions that were in this story. Robert’s narration was gruff and protective, just like Brooks. Kit brought Rory’s genuine and caring personality alive perfectly.

And just like that, the Wilder Brothers series comes to a close — and Carrie Ann Ryan, you’ve absolutely earned your standing ovation. Endlessly Yours is the final Wilder story, and what a beautifully emotional, full-circle moment it is. This was the first CAR series I ever picked up, and after binging books 1 through 8, I waited patiently (okay, maybe not that patiently) for the final two books. And let me tell you — the wait was so worth it.

In Endlessly Yours, it’s finally Brooks Wilder’s turn to fall — the last Wilder standing, and ironically, the first to have ever married. His first love and wife was his forever — until life took her from him. He made her a promise: to move on. But deep down, Brooks never truly believed he could. That is, until Rory Thompson reentered his orbit.

Brooks is the definition of a growly, protective alpha with a heart of gold and a filthy mouth — honestly, the dream combo. Rory is a talented artist, honorary Wilder woman, and best friend to one of the Wilder wives. She’s suffered her own losses and carved a place for herself in the Wilders’ world, even if she’s always felt a little on the outside looking in.

Their connection? Electric. What started as a random, grief-laced one night stand in an airport hotel bar comes back to haunt them in the best way. They’d sworn never to speak of it, but fate — and the meddling Wilder crew — have other plans. As sparks reignite, Rory’s world is upended once more when tragedy strikes again, leaving her the guardian of her two young nieces. And this time, Brooks refuses to let her face her pain alone.

This story is laced with raw, honest emotion. Grief, love, guilt, second chances — all tangled up in a way that only Carrie Ann Ryan can weave. Watching Brooks and Rory navigate their messy feelings, their past losses, and their undeniable chemistry was everything I wanted for the series finale. And of course, the Wilder family ties wrap it all together with a bow — leading perfectly into the next series, Ashford Creek.

I may be sad to say goodbye to the Wilders (for now), but I’m excited for what’s next in the CAR universe. And let’s be honest — I’ll be crossing my fingers that we get stories for the next generation of Wilders. Because this family? I’m not ready to let them go just yet.

Brooks and Rory are two characters that truly deserve a happily ever after. Both have endured so much pain and loss. They are struggling to keep their grief at bay and move forward, but that is proving to be very difficult. A few years ago, they met each other while drowning their sorrows in alcohol and spent one unforgettable night together. That night is a source of grief, regret and guilt for Brooks because his heart tells him he betrayed his late wife. For Rory, the memory of that night is a source of comfort and affirmation that she is still alive after losing her parents and being estranged from her twin sister. Fate steps in to give them another chance at love.

Though they never expected to see each other again, Tory and Brooks are linked by their relationship to her best friend, who is now his sister-in-law. He does his best to avoid her whenever possible, but both do a terrible job of hiding their attraction to each other. Brooks stops trying to avoid Rory after her world changes due to the death of her twin sister and her husband. Rory is now the guardian for her young nieces, a preteen who seems to hate her, and a seven year old who is afraid to let Rory out of her sight. (These girls and their palpable pain really tug hard on your heartstrings).

It is Brooks who rallies the large supportive Wilder family, his family, to help Rory get everything ready for her nieces. It is also Brooks who insists that she and the girls move into the house next to him in the community of homes he built himself. He refuses to take no for an answer. The protector in Brooks can’t stand to see Rory or the girls in so much pain, so he stays close and helps in anyway he can. (The scenes where he interacts with girls just melted my heart). Brooks never expected to open his bruised heart to Rory and two little girls. But he and Rory both have to let go of all the fears, doubts and pain of the past in order to build a future together. Not an easy task at all, but his large, gregarious, caring and meddling family are there to offer support and encouragement.

Their story is insightful, emotional and heartwarming. I am happy to recommend this amazing book.

4.5 stars

Brooks Wilder lost his wife four years ago, but promised her he would find love again. He is struggling with that promise and had all but decided he wasn’t going to keep it. Until Rory. They met a year after his wife’s death and had a single night together. It was only later they learned there was a connection between them that would have them seeing each other again.

Rory is a book illustrator and works from home and wherever she is. When her nieces become her wards, she has to scramble to make a home for them, and of course the Wilders are right there offering support, encouragement, and in the case of Brooks, a place for her and the girls to live.

These two were fun to watch, not only because they fought their feelings for so long, but also because they were both dealing with various forms of grief in their own ways. Brooks was grumpy and grumbly, but was soft at his core, despite his hard exterior. (And the way he was with Rory’s nieces shows that soft heart perfectly!)

The addition of the girls to this story gave a present day focus for the grief that both characters were feeling. While both girls handled their own grief differently and allowed the Wilder’s into their lives in different ways, they were a bridge for all the feelings the main couple had been holding onto for so long.

While this is the final Wilder Brother novel, there is still so much from this world that Carrie Ann Ryan has created. I always look forward to her extended and found families for the connection and heart that runs through all of them.

I really enjoyed this one! It is an emotional read but very well done! I really felt for Brooks and how much he was hurting with losing his wife and him finding his way forward. This one has a bit of a 2nd chance aspect to it as well since on the first anniversary of his wife's death, he ends up hooking up with Rory. Rory was the first person he was with after his wife died and he had to deal with the emotions that came with that. At the time, neither knew of their connection that they would have since they met at an airport hotel bar. Fast forward about 4 years later and they are trying to deal with the attraction and chemistry they still feel while Brooks is determined not to act on it, though they share a kiss and have to figure that out. Then tragedy strikes for Rory with her estranged sister and brother in law dying and she is now the sole guardian to her 2 nieces, 12 and 7. Brooks steps up to help and his protective instincts are working though he is still trying to figure that out. I loved watching these two come together in the midst of everything going on. Brooks is there for Rory and the girls though he gives them a little bit of time to settle in. He has an idea of what they are going through, having lost his wife and he is a great steady presence for them all. I loved seeing them find their way forward and start trying together. This story deals with grief and the aftermath of that but it has a hopeful feeling overall to it though it is heartbreaking at times. It felt genuine, honest and realistic as they all deal with it differently. This was a great read and I loved finally seeing Brooks find his happy ending and while I am sad that this series is finished, I am hopeful that we will get to see them down the line somewhere, somehow.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
The narrators did a fantastic job with the story and bringing it to life. It is dual narration and I thought they did well with differentiating characters voices and personalities throughout the story and dealing with all the emotions happening in this one.

Be still my heart! This story was so beautifully written that it made me cry, laugh and swoon in all the right amounts. When Brooks Wilder's wife was dying she made him promise to open his heart and find love again, but that was something that he just couldn't fathom. So when Brooks has a one night stand on the anniversary of her death, he never thought he would ever see the woman again. But fate had other ideas and when he sees Rory again on his family's properties, he discovers that the woman he can't forget about is actually his sister-in-law's best friend. Trying desperately to avoid her, Brooks is forced to go over to Rory's house to fix a faucet, when the call comes in that will change her life. Following the death of her sister and brother in law, Rory now finds herself as the guardians of her two young nieces. To help, Brooks offers her the house next door to him to raise the girls as her apartment is tiny, and with every swoony deed, Rory's heart thaws just a little more.

Brooks is the growly man with the heart of gold. He's kind, thoughtful and very, very hot, which makes Rory very, very distracted! The true beauty of this book is how the characters develop and come alive. How they make you want the best for them and you want them to find their HEA. As this is the last of the Wilder Brothers books, we catch up with a lot of the secondary characters who previously had their own books and it shows in the love that flows from the words as you devour each page. Alice is a cutie and Cameron is so much the almost teenager who doesn't quite know how to feel and you can feel the hurt that these siblings have experienced right down to your toes. As always, Ms Ryan loves to weave a tale that wraps you up like a blanket and keeps you safe. Loved this book and so looking forward to the Ashfords next!

KEEPING A PROMISE!!!

Brooks Wilder whom we've met throughout the previous books lost his first love and wife, Amara to cancer. Her dying wish was for him to promise her that he'll find love again. Which he promised even though he knew he was lying to her. He never expected for his world to change when he met Rory Thompson at an airport bar when he was feeling down on the one year anniversary of his late wife's death.

Rory Thompson, Ava's best-friend whom we've met in ( FOREVER FOR US ) she was a self-employed woman. She met the Wilders through her best-friend and god-daughter. But there was one of the Wilders Brothers that she couldn't ignore no matter how hard she tried. And it was none other than Brooks Wilder.

They had a one night-stand and decided to never talk about it but when her world got turn upside down, they both knew that they couldn't stay away from each other, no matter what.

The changes Rory was facing were challenging but with the help and support from her Ava and the Wilders....she saw HOPE. There were some ups and downs but she never wavered and neither did Brooks. The latter took a chance, one that allowed him to find the precious gems he didn't know he was missing in his life.

ENDLESSLY YOURS is the tenth and final book in Carrie Ann Ryan's the WILDER BROTHERS series. Oh my! what an exhilarating, emotional and thrilling ride. Loved all the ups and downs the main characters faced in order to reach their HEA. The bond between them and their loved ones was one to admire. The author left me wanting more. She did an outstanding job. Can't wait for what comes next. Two thumbs up! 👍🏾👍🏾

Knowing she isn't going to last much longer, Amara makes Brooks promise that once she is gone that he will move on and love again. Brooks knows he will not keep his promise to Amara. On the year anniversary of Amara's passing, Brooks finds himself at an airport bar drowning his sorrows when a woman, Rory, sits down next to him. Rory is at the airport bar drowning her own sorrows over her parents' deaths. Rory and Brooks share several drinks and end up spending the night together. Brooks didn't think he would see Rory again, but Rory turned out to be his brother's wife's best friend. Rory's world is turned upside down again when her estranged twin sister and brother-in-law are killed in a plane crash and leave her custody of her 2 nieces. Will Brooks and Rory be able to ignore the chemistry between them and keep their hands off of each other? When Brooks offers the house next to his, will Rory be able to provide a stable home for her and her nieces? Will Rory be able to break through her oldest niece's anger over her parents' death? Will Brooks realize how much Rory and the girls mean to him before it is too late? I LOVED, LOVED Endlessly Yours by Carrie Ann Ryan! Brooks and Rory are a great couple with scorching hot chemistry. Brooks and Rory both have overcome great losses to find their happily ever after. Endlessly Yours is an emotional roller coaster ride from beginning to end. Endlessly Yours is a fantastic ending to The Wilder Brothers Series! I would highly recommend getting Endlessly Yours and the other books in The Wilder Brothers series by Carrie Ann Ryan.
