This was a quick easy read. It was nice to get to see where the family's ended up and how things panned out for them.

I was very disappointed though, I felt there was too much we didn't know about the other characters stories. There were so many characters that drew me in and I felt like they were all just shoved together and given a happy ending without us actually hearing about it.

I thought we might have got a story from Matty and Kristen but I was dying to hear what happened when Will found out about Becca but that was never mentioned.

I feel like this series was cut off and the knees and I'm a little sad I won't get to find out how their love stories went.

What the hell? Okay, I read everyone's epilogue but not their story. Will's, Matty's and Shane's stories are completely missing, it's like reading the last 2 chapters of a book. I hope their stories are coming because if not I feel like we just got robbed of their books. I'm so disappointed. Not because I don't like the author but because I really wanted to read about her characters and how they got together. Okay, we get the result but not the journey. Again, I hope the author writes their stories.

Jase and Julia's child is getting married. You get a glimpse off all the secondary characters and where they are many years later. I love when authors do that. You fall in love with these characters and you want to know about their HEA.
The was a short novella that was a great read. Loved each ones story.

Very confusing story lines

This book was confusing the heck out of me. It's several story lines in one book. Jenny all of a sudden is married and everyone is much older, I feel like I missed several books before this one. I've read the first two because this one. Loved those, but this one...not so much.

Cliffhanger: No
POV: Multiple

Now instead of giving a big review because there are too many spoilers I will give a brief statement.

I LOVED THIS STORY. I wouldn’t call it novella, but I would say it is the ULTIMATE epilogue and they end the stories so beautifully I couldn’t ask for more.

Quick little novella that gives you a love scene from each of the main characters in the previous stories.

Short but good to get more of all the characters. Enjoyed this series.

Hot, hot, hot!

It seems ALL the couple in the series have hot, sweaty and sensual sex in this mini book and boy is it sizzling! This generally is a wrap up of all the couples and where they are now which is just such a great thing to do. I hate it when authors leave readers guessing as to where the characters go next and this just wraps it all up neatly for me. Am I sad that this means that the end of this group is pretty much definite, yes but this novella certainly adds the finishing touches to what is a great series and I am so happy that Emily and Dawn ended things this way. What can I say, the way Jenny turns out as an adult....I'm so not totally surprised, her sassiness and cheekiness just shines right on through!

A five star PLUS read for me, in terms of the entire series......certainly worth picking up and reading. A great collaborative series, I only hope Emily and Dawn write more together soon.

Cute story. I love reading established couples keeping their relationships going. In I Hope You Dance we get a glimpse into a several couples from one family during a wedding. Though brief it's clear that each couple loves each other and have spent years building and working to keep the love alive. I haven't read the other two books in the set, but been added to the TBR.
I received a free review copy from instaFreebie.

This was a short fun read. It really wrapped up the series nicely. Yes everyone got their HEA but in this little quicky you really got to see their ever after. You get to smile one last time with the group and just feel an overall sense of completion and contentedness. Loved the series and this was just the cherry on top.

short and sweet

This was a brilliant tie up for the series ... very simple and just a series of couples snippets but it encompassed the whole feeling of the series. I really loved it

quick read that gives a clear ending. i really wish that books were done about Shane, matty, and will though.
