I have felt sadness and joy while reading all 8 of these books. This series has touched my heart in ways I have never expected. I will feel sadness when I remember reading about jade and Garrett and there lives together. I will miss waiting for another one in the series to come out. If you have never read any of all is books. Start now. I guarantee you will love each and every one of them. THANKS Allie for this series of books.

Amazing beautiful ending!!

I hate to see the end Jade and Garret but what an incredible ending to this series. I couldn't put this book down till I finished it. It was like I couldn't read it fast enough to find out what happened next. When you think they were finally free of the organization then something else would come up. It was so intense and just couldn't stop reading. This was such an incredible story of such a strong love that developed between two teenagers that have been through so much when they were young. If I could I would give this series ten stars!! It amazes me how you came up with such a beautiful intense series. I look forward to reading more of your books. A must read series!!

I absolutely loved this series!!! From page one of the first book til the last page of book 8 I couldn't walk away. So many different feelings through them all... Happiness, anger, angst, laughter, frustration, confusion, sadness.... I could go on. This series is definitely one I will have to read again!

I'm so excited for the release of this book, that I accidentally clicked on it instead of number 7 in the series to rate. Now I can't delete my review (although I'm sure it'll be 5 stars along with the rest). Oops! :)

Warto było dla tego ostatniego tomu przebrnąć przez wszystkie pozostałe. Cała historia, dzięki ciekawym postaciom, jakim są Garret i Jade - osobiście dużo bardziej przypadli mi do gustu od sztywnego Pearce'a i Rachel bez skazy - jest naprawdę zarówno słodka, jak i pełna emocji i napięcia. Dużo było słodkości i romantycznych chwil, takich jak wkręcanie przez Garreta wszystkich wokół, zwłaszcza Lilly i Jade, że dzieci przynosi bocian. który mieszka gdzieś na Florydzie i już złożył u niego zamówienie. Ale oprócz tych romantycznych chwil nie brak w tej książce momentów grozy, chwil zwątpienia w sens walki od pierwszych stron, praktycznie do samego końca. Ale zacznijmy od początku. Kiedy Pearce obiecuje Garretowi, że zajmie się sprawa, która zagraża życiu Jade, już na samym początku otrzymujemy rozwiązanie sytuacji i czytelnik zaczyna się zastanawiać, o czym w takim razie będzie reszta książki? Nic bardziej mylnego. Rozwiązanie okazało się połowiczne i w pewnym momencie naprawdę powiało grozą, a to, kim się Pearce posłużył w rozwiązaniu tej sytuacji, bo sam osobiście nie mógł tego zrobić ani nawet zlecić, jest naprawdę wielką niespodzianką i zaskoczeniem. Jade wydaje się być bezpieczna, Pearce uwalnia się od Katherine, a dzięki dziennikarzowi, który pod przykrywką studenta kręcącego się koło Jade częściowo uwalnia się od organizacji, bo będąc na radarze stanowi zagrożenie wykrycia pozostałych członków. Opiekę nad Lilly też otrzymuje dzięki temu, że Katherine jest spalona, na dodatek po rozwodzie nic jej się nie należy z majątku Kensingtonów, więc można powiedzieć, że mamy idealne zakończenie, ale Katherine nie daje za wygraną, w ramach zemsty ujawnia, że Jade jest córką Royce i że Pearce oraz William o tym wiedzieli. Kiedy Jade pojawia się na poświątecznym spotkaniu Dunamisu z opaską na oczach, naprawdę wieje grozą. Tyle, że Katherine tym stwierdzeniem pogrąża niewłaściwe osoby, bo żonę Royce'a, kolejną osobę wyrzuconą z wyższych sfer Dunamisu. Z kolei jej córka Saddie, szykowana na pierwszą damę, niestety może pożegnać się z tymi planami. Jak to Jade zauważyła, trzy nienawidzące ją osoby tak naprawdę uratowały jej życie: Victoria, gdyż nie zdradziła Dunamisowi, że Jade jest córką Royce'a, przez co mogłaby zostać zabita, Holton, że wprowadził zakaz zabijania członków organizacji i ich rodzin pod groźbą kary śmierci oraz Katherine, która ujawniła prawdę, dzięki czemu Jade jako członek rodziny Sinclair została objęta ochroną. Kolejną przegraną osobą jest ojciec Harper, Kiefer. który skuszony wielkimi profitami pieniężnymi zgodził się dołączyć do organizacji, ale kiedy dowiedział się, że przez to jego córka będzie musiała nie tylko zerwać z Seanem, ale dodatkowo poślubić czterdziestoletniego syna Cecila Rotha, wycofuje się, w rezultacie czego musi zostać ukarany - skandal przekrętu finansowego, olbrzymia kara pieniężna i rozwód to dość wysoka cena za chciwość, nie wspominając o tym, że nadal zostaje mocno związany z organizacją. I pozostaje sama organizacja. Dzięki Williamowi dużo zmieniło się na lepsze, ale pytanie na jak długo. Z tymi wątpliwościami pozostawia nas Garret. Dopóki Pearce i William żyją, są bezpieczni, ale co będzie, jak ich zabraknie? Co się stanie z Lilly, czy będzie musiała poślubić kogoś z organizacji? Akurat tego możemy się dowiedzieć z kolejnej serii poświęconej Lilly. Mam nadzieję, że Garreta w niej nie zabraknie, bo jest naprawdę słodki. W wieku czternastu lat chroni cnoty siostry jak lew, a co będzie, kiedy jego córki dorosną? Jade twierdzi, że z pewnością oszaleje. No i dowiadujemy się, że oprócz dwóch córeczek bocian im przyniósł jeszcze dwóch chłopców - bliźniaki. Z kolei Harper dorobiła się trójki chłopców i nie ustaje w staraniach o dziewczynkę. I pomyśleć, że Jade zarzekała się kiedyś, że nigdy nie będzie matką, bo nie miała odpowiedniego wzorca.
Wspaniale się czytało. Mnóstwo wrażeń i emocji, a na zakończenie miodzio.

What an ending to this series. It really is bittersweet. I am glad to know how everyone ends up, but on the other side I am saddened to leave this universe. With that said, I just realized not too long ago that there is a series featuring PEARCE. Yes that one I’ve been gushing on and on about during these reviews. Really curious how that story will go since we already kind of know how everything will end. There was a lot of drama going on with Harper and Sean in this book, and I could not have predicted how it would end up. The book still featured a ton of mystery and suspense, but I did feel like I have gotten enough answers to my questions. The characters went through so much and I loved how they’ve grown personally and together. This truly is a series I will never forget and I am so glad I decided to start the series again (this time with all the books already released). Highly recommend everyone to try this series, it might not be for everyone.. but if it is you’ll be hooked!

** 2.25 ⭐⭐🌟 **

I had a hard time finishing this book. It was a mix between my mood shifts and the unoriginality of the story. I believe that if this installment was written after book #4, I would have liked it way more.
Two main things that bothered me: Sean's and Harper's situation and more Sadie drama. I understood that they wanted the best for Sean and Harper but when they kept saying that they should not be together anymore, it was totally hypocritical due their own history. Also, the author insistence in bring Sadie's past relationship with Garret (again) and all things related to her were absolutely unnecessary.
Even though it took me forever to end this one, I still liked it and enjoyed follow more of Jade's and Garret's love story but now I think is enough because they already been written to exhaustion. I loved that they finally showed growth here and their HEA was more than satisfactory.

READ IT! READ IT! READ IT!!!
GO READ THIS BOOK!!!!

It truly deserves more credit.

The plot....The storyline....the characters ....AMAZING.

I'm not one to finish all books in a continuous story but I wanted more.

I read Kingston left book 4 .... moved on to Jade then back to finish book 4 and wanted a little more, so finished off with Lilly.

Really support Allie Everhart and get these books.

Harper & Sean are having trouble because of her parents. They are forbidding them to date & they have become hateful. Harper has to have rotator cuff surgery. Someone beats Sean up & threatens him. This is getting bad & the whole time Garret warns Jade "not to get involved" because it's possible the organization may be the ones causing the problems.

One of my favorite series! Must read!

I bought these years ago and I go back each year and read them again. It's got just enough mystery to make you always guess and wonder what is going to happen next.

What a great conclusion

What a sweet conclusion to this series. I know that we get to see more of Jade and Garret in Pearce’s story as well as Lilly’s story. This book did give away a huge secret that comes out in Pearce’s books - even though some of the time overlaps.

HOLY MOTHER OF BOOK LOVERS!!
ALLIE, ALLIE, ALLIE, I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED THIS BOOK!!! This is THE perfect ending to the most freakin amazing story! Garrett and Jade are the perfect couple. With all the trials and tribulations that they were put through its a miracle they made it through without any serious damage. Jade is so brave. I don't think many people could endure everything that they did and still have their sanity in tact. Garrett is an extremely strong man to have lived and dealt with his family and their involvement in the organization. I love how Pearce becomes a man and father to admire. Lilly is so sweet I wanted to hug and squeeze her through my nook. Lol. At times the suspense nearly made me pee my pants. Lol. I couldn't put my nook down long enough to go to the bathroom. Lol. And at times I cried so hard for Garrett and Jade and especially little Lilly. But the end is SO FREAKIN AMAZING! And Katherine, LMAO, it was GREAT! Allie you most definitely have out done yourself. I was dancing around my livingroom I was so ecstatic with the way things ended.I wish we would have had more of Pearce's interaction with the children. And yes Allie I would love to read more about the secondary characters. Particularly Pearce and Lilly's. I EXTREMELY RECOMMEND THIS SERIES TO EVERYONE!

I like romance novels but I didn't used to read as much as I do now. I always love the feeling of being completely wrapped up in the characters and let your mind fly with them, and when I started reading as much as I do now I found "Choosing You" and "Knowing You" the first two books of the series. I got them and read them right away, I really like the mixed of romance and suspense.
That's the reason why these series will always have a special place for me. They are my favorite and for sure I'm going to keep reading them.
Allie has said that she didn't plan these series go as long as they did, but I love her for that, because we were able to see every step of Jade and Garret, see them grow as a friends and then as a couple and finally as a family with their HEA in "Always Us". We were also able to get to know more about the other characters, and liked ones some more and hate others more too.
That's why I'm not so sad of the Jade series to end, because Allie is so great that she's giving us more with the announcement of the new series about Pearce.
I can't say I'm not sad at all, knowing that this is the last book, but I'm looking forward to see what Allie has for the new series and secretly hopeful to see if we see more of Jade and Garret in them!
Thank you Allie for giving us all these and for what it's to come!!!

What a great finish to this series.
Loved all of the Epilogue and proceeding chapters showing what has happened throughout the years.
I wish the part about Garret's mom could have been added to this book.
Although I loved this book I felt like some of the story lines were closed without really giving them a proper ending. Jade and Sara were great friends but then all of a sudden Sara has no time for her friend and moves on. Kiefer and Kelly had the perfect marriage and a mistake that she went along with and then they split. No fighting for a marriage that began as high school sweethearts? Justin "Carson" just disappears and goes off to Paris after he was adamant about not giving up on finding out about his sister. After the epilogue you hear nothing of what is going on in Pearce's life. He's not around when his grand babies are born, nothing it's like he didn't exist in this book towards the end. Same as Frank and Ryan.

I loved this book so much it's by far my favourite book in the series and I loved the extended epilogue so much. I loved how everything had an explanation and just when you think something else can't happen another plot twist comes in. The whole series has ended and it's kinda sad but I still loved reading the books and I'll probably read them over again at some point.
Also at the end of the book she said something about maybe starting a spin off series and I would love to hear about Lilly and her love life especially if Garret has a say in it.

I fell in love with Jade and Garrett in book one and that continued to grow with each book. The more i learned about them, their past and history and future, i didn't want this series to end. I wanted it to keep going. i don't feel that they were characters, the books were so well written i felt like i knew them personally. That they in my life and not people on pages. i LOVED all the books and i loved this one. You got a lot of your questions answered, it was a wonderful ending and i'm sad to see it finally come to an end.

Oh my gosh, such a great book! I have loved this series since book one and this final book was amazing!! I wasn't sure how things would happen, what would happen, how everything would work out, but it did. I LOVED it!! I'm sad to see the end of Jade and Garrett, but it was an epic ride with a fabulous finale. I absolutely LOVE all he flash forwards at the end, they made my day! My heart has been left satisfied and happy. I'm going to miss them so much I may have to re read them all again...even though I just did that 5 months ago...crazy me. Also I would love a spin off about Lilly.

Amazing!

This final book in this series is simply amazing and totally awesome! I love Jade and Garret's story and so sad for this series to end!! Once again Ms Everhart gives us romance and suspense all wrapped together to keep you on the edge of your seat! I love all of the characters in this series and I can't wait for the spin-off series! Jade and Garret's love is so beautiful and their love for each other enables them to face any obstacles in life as long as they do it together!

Wow I can't believe it's over!!! Eight books and we have finally reached the conclusion! I've had this book sitting in my kindle for a while now but I haven't really given myself enough time to sit down and finish it. Today I did take the time and I'm glad I did! I was nervous at first thinking... what more could they go through?, but who knew the whole time it was leading up to this. This massive conclusion! I'm really happy about how it ended and very glad they made sure to clean up all the loose ends! What a crazy series of books:)

No spoilers!

Being 22 years old and choosing to read this book actually turned out to be a not so bad idea. When I started this series, I was going through these books back to back until I had finally gotten to one that I had to wait for!
I do feel there was a lot of information to be put into this last book, but I also feel like it was done at a good pace and in a really appropriate way.
I can't wait to read a possible spin off, or anything else by Allie Everhart!

I have not words to describe this book! Or the all series.. I loved it so much! I pretty much loved every character! Well, NOT EVERY CHARACTER! I'm still mad - or worse - at some of them, even if they're dead!

one of my favorite series!

Props to you on an amazing story. Love how you ended it but sad that it's ended. I'd love to read a book about Pearce finding love again. Lilly growing and doing well in swimming and the art world, modeling....anything to keep Garrett and Jades story going. Thank you!
