2.5 rounded up.
I’m truly so sad about this. I was looking forward to the last book from this series because I’ve loved the other books so much I had high hopes for this one.
I couldn’t stand Zeke, he has such a bad life and circumstances but still his reasons for staying were idiotic and suicidal. Maybe I lack empathy for him and that’s my issue, but you mean to tell me you’re being abused, given a “free” out and still decide to stay with said abuser? And even after almost getting killed, you don’t want to press charges?! Be for real. Also, his whole attitude thing was meh, he’s cold and rude sometimes and then asks Eloise, a virtual stranger to help him dress at the hospital…not the guy who you’ve known for months?
And said guy, Talon…my guy what the fuck? His intro to the reader was already awful, he’s thirty but acts sixteen. His “heart of gold” shows up buy knowing the employee’s names and little things about them, and his instant fixation on Zeke was so random. Also, his approach to his sexuality was so centered on what Zeke wanted it felt removed from Talon’s actual wants and self discovery.
The pacing was wild, their romance moved at hyper speed and the chemistry for the spice was just not there. I’m shocked because Jillian gives is layered characters that connect with one another both emotionally and physically, but it didn’t work on this book.
Oh and what really ticked me? The fucking conclusion to the brother debacle…you mean to tell me he gets by with a “yeah, so I was being mean on purpose but it’s not my fault” bullshit apology? Nah. Both Talon and Zeke, not to mention Talon’s family should have said or done something to hit home how fucked up what the brother did was. IF he had a redemption arc, he didn’t deserve an easy and fast one.
This being said, I want to reiterate that I loved this series…one, two and three lol. And I’m excited learning that we are getting a Logan x Chase spin off and hopefully more in Boston Med!!
Thank you, TAA and Jillian for the advanced copy.

I wasn’t sure if I could love another book in this series as much as the last 2, but once again, Jillian has proven it can be done. I absolutely devoured this book! Once I started it, there was no putting it down! I’m not normally a fan of age gap romances but this one was different. It didn’t feel like an age gap at all, Zeke & Talon felt very much like equals.
Zeke and Talon meet when Talon, billionaire, new owner of Ricochet Ridge Ski Reosrt, goes undercover as a seasonal employee to get to know his employees. He meets Zeke, host of The Summit restaurant and is immediately enthralled with him. Zeke however, has had a rough life and is currently stuck in a toxic relationship with his abusive boyfriend Derek.
These two were drawn to each other immediately. It was clear to everyone (except Talon) that he was having feelings of more than friendship towards Zeke. Watching Zeke gain the strength to stand up for himself was beyond amazing and finding the ability to trust Talon after everything he had been through was beautiful.
I loved how Talon took care of Zeke, even before he knew about his situation. How he found the time for the little things and moments that matter most. Not only was he incredibly protective of him, he did it in a way that made Zeke feel loved, not controlled. The beginning was heartbreaking but the ending healed my fractured heart.

I have been obsessed with wanting to read Zeke's story since meeting him in the first book - albeit briefly, but i wanted to know all about him.
He is just the most gorgeous person ever! I love him so much and want to hug him so bloody much!
His story is utterly heartbreaking bless him and his strength - my god that boy deserves the world! And I am so glad Talon is there to give it to him!
Talon - our amazing consent KING ❤️
The way he was there for Zeke, even before he knew about disgusting Derek (dry heave)
He is so good at reading people and he didn’t miss a beat with Zeke.
Something in him wanted to protect Zeke the minute they met and I am so glad he was there for him. He is utter perfection!
Another note - Derek is an absolute peice of sh*t and tbh i wish he hit his head harder during that fall - what that says about me, i don't know 🤷🏻♀️ but I said what I said 😏
I felt everything bit of anxiety Talon was experiencing for Zeke! Especially throughout everything that transpired after THAT chapter.
The pure rage that consumed me for Derek wasn't healthy but my god it was warranted!
I absolutely adore Talon and Zeke and I am so f*cking happy with their happily ever after.
And the bonus scene - PERFECTION!!
Every book in this series has been absolutely brilliant and I have LOVED every 👏🏼single 👏🏼one 👏🏼.

Awwh, man, I was soooo excited for this one! I've done the ARC reads for this entire series, so I think I was pretty invested but holy holy, this book was everything! This bi-awakening, hurt/ comfort, gorgeous found family MM romance between 2 men who were both lost, both dealing with distrust and loneliness. Displaying both in such different ways due to their class differences, they become each others support and create a foundation that would later become unbreakable. I'm obsessed with the mcs. Zeke and Talon may be my favourite couple of the series, Talon is literally the greenest of flags, with the purest heart and such patience. It was magical reading their love story! Zeke deserves the world and I'm just happy he finds his HEA! I'm super sad that the series is now over and having to say goodbye to the Ricochet Ridge couples but I am excited to see what Wray releases in the future because I am sooo invested! Be sure to check out the trigger warnings before reading as there are some distressing scenes with Zeke and his ex boyfriend. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to read this series, it was a blast!

Did I get this arc yesterday and read to 60% while I was at work and then finished it today? Maybe..
This was so heart achingly beautiful, I loved the build up between Talon and Asher. The small gestures and subtle reminders that Talon gave Ash to let him know he wasn’t alone. Tal is such a green flag and breath of fresh air especially after everything Ash was going through when they met.
If you love slow burn, age gap, friends to lovers, and a mc who gains control, self confidence and overcomes his battles then this book is for you. 🤍
Derek when I catch you just know it’s on SIGHT.

I loved this book Talon was so sweet and Protective. Zeke made me want to hold him in my arms and just protect him and Derek I wanted to see bad things happen to him. Summit is the 4th book in this series it follows Talon who is owner of Ricochet Ski lodge. It also follows Zeke who works at Summit the higher end restaurant at the lodge. Derek is Zekes not so nice boyfriend and Talon just wants to take care of and protect Zeke.
