Not a bad conclusion to the series, Becca finally gets her life straightened out. She lands her dream job and gets to be bridesmaid at her best friend's wedding. Chance and his father finally sort their relationship out, though I did not get why his father was so hung up on him marrying Sara...missed that completely.

More grammatical issues which in some cases entirely changed the meaning of the sentence. The story line was rushed and detail was nonexistent. The ending was terrible and so not what I expected. So much more could have been done with this story. I'm left disappointed and and frustrated that I actually paid for this.

So, I read and reviewed parts one and two of the series and decided to call it quits because it was boring, forced drama, forced woe is me, empty characters with zero personality, and a writing style that told me about events and conversations existing instead of actually writing them happening.
I get a message telling me I'd really love the series if I just gave it a Chance a (uhhum) chance.
Okay, I did. Chance turns out to be even worse than I imagined he would be, as did the book as a whole.
After reading the entire boring as hell thing, all the above still applies. Plus...
Writing & Grammar Skills Took A Vacation
While not great to begin with, I noticed that the grammar; typos; & laziness in writing actual dialogue and scenes vs just telling readers that x, y, and z occurred and was amazing progressively became worse and worse as the series went onward.
Who Are They?
By book eight, I can not name you a single personal thing about either character. I learn more about most characters in a book's blurb than I did after reading eight installments of this.
Seriously! They drink like fish. They work. They sulk. They apologize. They have non- descriptive sex. They have three word sentence dialogue with each other before the author skips to just 'tell' us that they've had some deeply connective, easy conversation we aren't privy to reading. The result? I can't tell you a single meaningful, personal thing about either of them.
IF YOU DONT WANT SPOILERS *eyeroll* ... STOP HERE.
Why Bother Including It?
The point of having plot points is to tell a story. Each plot point should be presented, fulfilled in some way, and then resolved. That's NEVER the case here!!! Here are a few examples:
• The ex - she enters, wrecks havoc, and then never makes another appearance.
• The dad fing the ex and then pushing her down his son's throat - this should be monumental, but nope; it was written like the author was telling us he just ate a cracker and wished he'd have ate a chip. No consequence. No climax to it. No turn in direction because of it. No fing point to it whatsoever.
• The guy she dates a week that turns out to be a stalker - the author TELLS us he stalked her by having the police come to her door to tell her that 'bad shit' was found in his apt and car that suggests he was planning to do something 'bad' to her BUT that it was all okay and she was perfectly safe now because the police have him. Uhm, okay. Forget that this is pointless anticlimactic dribble that we are told happened vs actually getting to read about happening and that was totally pointless. People aren't fing arrested just because they sit in front of someone's home with 'bad shit' that could be seen as stuff he'd 'planned' to use on her. No! Police would tell her to get a restraining order and be on high fucking alert ... Not, hey don't worry you're perfectly safe.
The End
If you're thinking the author was saving the kapow for the end, then you better think again.
Wedding and work event the same day lead up to the end. Chance should've been pissed at her. He paid her to do a job and she failed to tell him she had a conflict when she took the job, she bailed on seeing the job through, and she didn't even bother to tell him. He shows up at the wedding and bails on seeing the job through his own damn self because the dad that spent an entire book preaching to him to work hard and play less tells him to blow off work to go play. The irony is that his big c/o with his ex was that she was constantly dragging him to social events when he should've been working & here we are full circle with a social event more important than work. I'd laugh, but my eyes hurt too badly from rolling around in my skull at how asinine, immature, and utterly ridiculous this shit became.
The big finale... Oh, that's his dad kicking the bucket and him addressing the board as the new HNIC with his girl by his side. WhoopTdo!

So. I haven't written a review in a long time, like forever really, but this book. This series. I couldn't just not review it. It's not even a review, more like a warning.
GRAMMAR! Huge glaring mistakes, everywhere. Sometimes I tried to reorder the sentence or fill it with missing words so it would make sense; even that couldn't fix it. The fluency of the sentences, paragraphs, story, hell the story line, none of it made sense. It was so chaotic and confusing to read. It was bad.
The story line throughout the series had all sorts of problems as well. But it kinda went something like this:
Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, but I think I love you, can I have your baby?
Just kidding I hate you how dare you lie to me.
[Two minutes later] Oh never mind I still love you more than anything in the entire universe lets make babies.
OMG I HATE YOU HOW DARE YOU LIE TO ME AND MAKE ME BELIEVE YOU AND HAVE SEX WITH YOU A SECOND TIME. NOW I'M A HOME WRECKING WHORE.
Let me take the next month to spiral into a pit of depression, get drunk, sleep with this super annoying clingy guy, and hope everything works out for me.
JUST KIDDING I STILL LOVE GUY NUMBER 1 AND I'M GOING TO WORK WITH HIM AND COMPLETELY IGNORE OUR ORGASMIC CHEMISTRY SO I CAN WORK AND EARN MONEY AND THEN MY PARENTS CAN'T FORCE ME TO MOVE BACK HOME.
OH SHIT GUY NUMBER 2 SAW ME MAKING OUT WITH GUY NUMBER ONE AND NOW I REALLY AM A WHORE.
It's whatever.
Oh, my job has a deadline that doesn't mesh with my social calendar, meh I'll just ignore it and hide everything and basically lie because that hasn't held any negative connotations for me before.
So. The takeaway here, is that she's crazy and very unstable. Not to mention falling in love with someone in like a day or two, it's just not very realistic. Just sayin'.

I really really enjoyed this series. Loved the characters and the storyline. It was a light hearted story with a few twists and I liked that it was fast paced and didn't drag. The only negative point I can make is that there were too many grammatical mistakes and as the series went on it seemed to get worse. I tried to ignore it and still enjoyed the story.

5 Stars Amazing series a MUST read
Loved this series would recommend to all my friends. Haven't found anything I don't like about it. Hot scenes that can make you and certain items of clothing to melt.

It's an amazing journey of love and trust between Becca and Chance. I admire the way the first meeting has begun, strength of character and true love.

The storyline was good. Parts were thrown in, they made sense but seemed out of place. The ending seemed rushed. Just boom, the end. It was a good book though and I enjoyed it.
