This was an interesting ending to this series; however, the plot did seem somewhat contrived. The best thing about this series is the characters, even though they seem a little unreal. Seth's anger issues and his immature ways of handling life's problems are a detriment to each of these stories.
The characters are well developed. The problem for me was that some of the characters are very hard to like. Some of the situations are also hard to even consider as possible, fiction or not no.
This book was well written with realistic characters, scenery descriptions & conversations. Trista & Seth left behind an ex-boyfriend of Trista's. Tuck had spent time in prison & was very angry that she &Seth had gotten married. Together they had a son. Trista had a daughter, Savannah; & Seth had a daughter, Faith, from a previous marriage. Events lead to harrowingly no experiences. The big question is "who's responsible for them? I figured things out but it is a good, easy read!
I've really enjoyed this series. I read all three books in three days. I could not put them down. The characters just pull you in and don't let go. The storyline is very good and the fluency is compelling. I would recommend these books to anyone who wants to escape the day to day rat race.
Overall liked the series. This third book seemed more overly dramatic and predictable than the other ones. All are decent stories with good endings. Think in general the characters, relationships, etc could be fleshed out a little more.
WOW!! There were several times that I needed Kleenex during this book. Not how I was expecting this book to go. I am glad they finally got Tuck put back in jail just too bad he caused so many problems at what should have been a wonderful time for Savannah and Luke. And then to find out that Trevor was behind part of what had happened. I cried because I thought Luke had died after he saved Savannah at the lake, but was happy that he didn't. With all they went through it just proves that true love can get you through any situation it just takes some work and faith.
This was just an okay series for me. I have a hard time with books that have characters that I really dislike - such as Seth and Trista. You could definitely tell the same author wrote these three books as the storylines were so similar but with different characters. The ending to this one seemed rushed and when the epilogue jumps to a year later you realize that two things that Seth was wrestling over were just completely dropped until the epilogue.
The Final Encore: Contemporary Romance Novel (Seth and Trista Book 3)
The continue love story of Seth and Trista. More then three years have pass, Seth and Trista have married and had a baby boy, Savannah has completed three and a half year of college but all is not well. Savannah is pregnant with Luke's baby and Tuck, Trista's old fiancé, is back. OK story.
I loved the ending to this series!! I am just glad that this family doesn't have to worry about anyone else trying to kill them. This was a great series and Jeremy did a great job with the characters and the storyline.
This story of love and mystery was an enjoyable escape. I wanted an easy read and this story kept me entertained. I have read other books by Jeremy Asher and found them equally entertaining.
This is another good novel in the Seth and Trista series of novels. Some of the action was a little unbelievable, some of the dialogue was stilted and overdone, but the characters kept me reading. Asher does a magnificent job of developing believable and likable characters.
I was kept on the edge of my seat for quite a bit towards the end of the book. I had figured one person was bad then the big surprise...and more followed!!! Thank you for a great read again!
I didn't read the first two books, but found this to be a good choice for a quick read. I didn't feel like I missed out on anything by missing the first two books.
This was so good! It was just as good as the first two books of the Trista and Seth story, and ended beautifully. It takes place about four years after the second book ends. Very romantic, but lots of action, too. You're going to love this trilogy.
