The hottest summer in Port Chasten is finally about to break, and so is Ashe’s carefully balanced world...
Becca offers him a future. Lily wants to be his devoted lover. Jess is pure sensual pleasure. And Ashe? He wants all three.
But summer is ending, and hard choices can’t be delayed forever. As buried secrets emerge and loyalties fray, Ashe will have to decide. Will he claim one woman... or risk everything to keep them all?
One of his “lovers” talks and acts like she’s a barely a teenager. A 20 year gap is too much. It doesn’t help the main character comes across as a seedy middle aged pervert who runs away to screw a waitress in a seedy motel “to see where it all started” instead of talking things out like normal adults. This felt pointless as the author already knew she wasn’t going to end up in their permanent relationship so why make the MC look like even more of a promiscuous jerk than he already did? When he’s in his 60’s and Lily is barely starting her 40’s and she and Jess run off and dump his geriatric self and Becca is the only one left that actually cared about him all along…I hope Becca leaves him too. She deserved better than having to indulge his ridiculous fantasies all because two younger women use him as a toy and he’s dumb enough to think they actually love him and will still be there when he’s an old man and can’t keep up with them and the “little blue pill” doesn’t help.
I love the story, but I felt like last book felt rushed. As promised, there are secrets revealed in this last installment and it could have lead to at least one more book. Also, it would have been nice to see Asher have a hand in guiding the careers of Jess, Lily, and Yvette, and to see Becca become more of a mother hen, taking care of the household.
I liked the engaging characters, and I've always been attracted to the small town stories. It's a cool feeling that you know half the people in town and they know you. Great story, too!
