What a great ending or cliffhanger to a great series. The Monroe's has more drama in that family than I could believe possible. Lance and Sylvia had a baby. I just hope that can make it work. Lacy I don't really like her character that much. I'm sure that tour will be full of drama with her ex not to mention the preacher that she marring. And finally Malcolm is where he belongs not as long as he should be because he's a psychopath. Anyway there were allot of great twist and turns in this series. I love when unexpected things happen and you mouth falls open.


I absolutely love this quote: " Let today be the day you stop being haunted by the ghost from your past. What happened in the past is just on chapter in your story; don't close the book, just turn the page." BRILLIANT!!!!

The Monroes- BRAB ONLINE BOOK CLUB

The saga continues with this dysfunctional family and their drama. Malcolm and his off the wall temperature, and his inability to deal with Alex walking away. Lance and Sylvia has to get through all the lies and deceit to forge their way back together. Lacey, unable to make the decisions concerning her life and whether she wants to get married.

Loved the drama and the twist and turns.

Love this series

This book keeps you wanting more. In this part of the series you find out more of what the father did to damage the family and omg was it horrible. I was loving the Lance and Sylvia love story. Even though I what Sylvia was wrong with what happen with Malcolm,Lance should've been more understanding considering everything he put her through. Can't wait for the next part.

This book was definitely a page turner. The Monroe's are filled with so many secrets and as the series goes on a little bit more is revealed. It's like the further I get in the series the better it gets. Join the Monroe's on their latest roller coaster ride. I promise this a 5 star read! I can't wait for the next installment!

I would give this book a 3.5 as the story was interesting but the many flashbacks were overwhelming. i felt there was at least 1 flashback per chapter and it became too much for me. I also felt that the epilogue was just thrown in the book last minute as if the author forgot that she forgot to put an ending on the book.

I have no idea why, but I like this series

I really shouldn't enjoy reading about stories of dysfunctional families, baby mama drama and mayhem in hospitals. But I did. And I want to read the conclusion. There's just got to be a happy ending here somewhere

Great series so far.

Love conquers all, but lies and deceit may keep this relationship from continuing. Can't wait for the next installment of this family.
