GREAT SERIES, GREAT SERIES

In reading the Jade Series I found out about Pearce and Rachel’s story I was so intrigued that I had to go read it and I am so glad that I did.

Pearce and Rachel’s Story of course starts prior to the Jade series and intertwines until the end. Much like the Garret (Pearce and Rachel’s son) and Jade the two were not suppose to be together. Doomed from the day she walks through the door. In falling in love the two end up learning that love has a funny way of sneaking up on you and taking the lead. In the end with love it’s always consistent. Holton, Pearce’s father comes back on the scene in this series as well with a vengeance, and is a far cry from fatherly
I cried so much in this series it wasn’t even funny.

Fajne zakończenie rodzinnej historii. Przy pierwszej połowie tej książki moje serce się łamało, gdy czytałam o tym odseparowaniu i ile minęło lat. Po prostu Pearce wykazał się totalną głupotą, miał tyle wskazówek. Nie wiem, czy można zrzucić to na to, że był w rozpaczy... Każda rozpacz powinna mieć swoje granice i to, jak się zachowywał, pozostało wiele do życzenia. Ponadto najlepszym ojcem też nie był. Jestem zaskoczona, że Rachel po tylu latach nadal go "chciała". Chyba była tak bardzo zaślepiona miłością, jaką czuła do niego... Jego zachowanie pozostawiało wiele do życzenia i jestem zaskoczona, że po ponownym spotkaniu, tak szybko do siebie wrócili. Jakby te lata nie miały w ogóle miejsca, jakby żadne z nich nie zmagało się z różnymi problemami i doświadczało różnych rzeczy. Nie wiem, czy potrafiłabym być tak bardzo wybaczająca jak Rachel, gdybym dowiedziała się całej prawdy. Jednak najbardziej zastanawia mnie to, jak byli w stanie zacząć w tym samym miejscu, w którym skończyli wiele lat wcześniej. No nie pojmuję tego. ;)
Druga połowa książki była przyjemnie urocza i słodka, często na twarzy pojawiał się uśmiech, mimo że niekiedy ich rozmowy były naprawdę trudne. Zasłużyli na ten happy end, a niech więc będą szczęśliwi.

This is the last book in The Kensington series. Although you don’t have to read the Jade series in order to read this series, if you did, you’ll find that Only Her overlaps with the Jade series, giving you a different perspective on that story and answering some questions you may have had.

I wrote a few chapters of Only Her in Garret’s point of view since he’s an important part of the story. You’ll see him as a young teenager, then as a college student with Jade, and finally as an adult. The book skips ahead in time, the ending coinciding with the ending of Always Us.

5 STARS!!!! This was bitter sweet because I loved this book but it is now over. This series was fantastic.
I cannot wait to see what else Allie Everhart will be writing!

[Mian Knight · Rating 3 out of 5]

I didn't want to write my review until I finished the books , to begin I must say it was an interesting story , specially at the beginning , what I found a bit odd was how the hero changed his mind about dating so quickly , I mean one day he throw girls out once the sex is over and the next one he's dating one girl and he's being faithful to her and loving and patient ...
other than that the character was quite interesting , I also didn't like the fact that she disappeared for 15 years , why not five or at max 10 ??? and how could they resume their lives like she was just absent for a week ...
but as the ending was good and exactly how it should be I would say the story is good .

Great Ending to a wonderful series!

I love how everything came together for The Kensington's (incl Garret and Jade). Anytime you feel like writing more about them I will read. If have not read this series and the Jade series, you are missing out on great love story. Highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing

So in love with this book, by far my favorite!! I started out reading this series back with it was just Garret. I couldn't put it down. Made me feel lots of emotions, but definitely my favorite book.

[Jamee · Rating 5 out of 5]

If I could give this book more than 5 stars I would!! It was a FANTASTIC end to the series and I am so sad it has come to an end!! This has definitely moved up to one of my favorite series of all time (Jade series) included as they are intertwined!!

Aaah it’s the last book in the series, and if you haven’t read any of the other books in this series yet… don’t read the blurb because is might be a spoiler for you! This book also overlaps a bit with the Jade series and even a bit in the future after Always Us. I literally just read this series in three days after rereading the Jade series. I loved the conclusion to this series, it was just perfect. Pearce and Rachel their story was very heavy, they’ve gone through so much. I also loved Jack even more than I did before, because his actions are so important for the series. It was an very emotional read and the suspense was killing me at some times. All in all, definitely recommending this series!

Such a sweet happy ending

I was so excited to see how this played out. I was even more excited to see Garret and Jade play such a major role in this book. You get more insight into how Garret was after his mother was gone, and what a with Katherine was.

I do wish the crossover with the end of the Jade series was more in sync, but I guess they couldn’t give that much away. Still a good happy ending.

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.

[Wendy Livingstone · Rating 5 out of 5]

Perfect conclusion!!

This is a well written flawless story which is intriguing, and emotional, with danger, twists, angst, humour, witty banter, and love which leads to an entertaining and thrilling addictive page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

[Marlene Chevillet · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great Series!

I loved the good vs evil aspect of these books. For someone trying to be good but pulled into darkness, separating these sides of their personality is truly awesome to read. I love the revenge angle of these too. It appeals to my darker side.

[Jacquelyn Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

A perfect ending to this story.

[Ewa · Rating 5 out of 5]

4,5*
Jest to przepiękna, dramatyczna i poruszająca opowieść o prawdziwej miłości, takiej która przetrwa wszelkie niepowodzenia i przeciwności losu. O ile poprzednie części zaczynały się spokojnie, to ta już w drugim rozdziale podniosła mi ciśnienie i rozłożyła na łopatki.
Po tragicznych wydarzeniach w dwunastą rocznicę ślubu Rachel i Pearce, ich życie legło w gruzach, a los rzucił Rachel na drugi koniec świata. Rachel nie wie, że Jack nie zdążył powiedzieć jej mężowi, że ona żyje, a on nie może pozbierać się po jej śmierci. Akcja rozpoczyna się 3 lata po tych tragicznych wydarzeniach. Rachel żyjąc skromnie i pracując w małej włoskiej miejscowości bez internetu i satelitarnej telewizji, tej w której spędzili swoją podróż poślubną, wybiera się do Neapolu, gdzie ma okazję skorzystać z internetu i dowiedzieć, dlaczego nikt przez tak długi okres czasu się do niej nie odezwał, jak jej to obiecano. Nie są to dobre wiadomości, ale skłaniają ją do natychmiastowego powrotu. Niestety przez jej nieostrożność jej największy wróg ją wyśledził i zniweczył jej plany powrotu do męża. Poznaje cała okrutną prawdę, jak perfidnie utkana była zemsta, która ich dotknęła. Bez paszportu, biletu i pieniędzy pozostaje uwięziona w tym małym miasteczku, inwigilowana non stop, żeby nie mogła skontaktować się ze światem, pozostaje w swoim osobistym piekle, które na własną zgubę sama sobie wybrała. Jak długo w nim pozostanie? Czy uda jej się wrócić do USA, czy może Pearce ją odnajdzie we Włoszech? Czy dane im będzie wspólne życie? Czy organizacja nadal im zagraża? Trzeba przeczytać, żeby się dowiedzieć. Życie Pearce'a sterowane przez Dunamis też nie jest usłane różami, jeśli już, to samymi kolcami, a zatroszczył się o to demoniczny ojczulek, którego celem było unieszczęśliwienie Perace'a za karę, że ten śmiał mu się przeciwstawić. A wychowanie Garreta na dobrego człowieka, chronienie go przed szponami Dunamisu też jest trudne, bo nierzadko go zaniedbuje, a swoją złość i żałobę niestety przenosi na syna. Czy uda mu się ukryć przed Rachel, że zawiódł jako ojciec? Czy Rachel wybaczy mu kłamstwa i zbrodnie, których dokonał dla Dunamisu?
Najbardziej przeżywałam to, jak czytałam kolejne rozdziały z dopiskiem 2 lata później, 5 lat później itp i za każdym razem musiało się coś wydarzyć, żeby zniweczyć próby ich spotkania. Boli to, że najpiękniejsze lata swojego życia, okres dojrzewania Garreta Rachel i Pearce spędzili osobno, że ich spotkanie byłoby możliwe wcześniej, ale zaprzepaścili swoja szansę. Ale ich spotkanie po latach jest magiczne i pełne miłości, którą przez tyle lat w sobie zachowali. Cholerny wyciskacz łez, nierzadko trzymający czytelnika w napięciu. Druga część książki jest może trochę przesłodzona, ale po takich emocjach nie może być inaczej. Polecam osobom szukających emocji i wrażeń, bo intryg i niebezpieczeństw nadal w tej części nie brakuje. Podobnych emocji dostarczyła mi Convicted - trzecia część Consequences, ale tam autorka ukradła bohaterom znacznie mniej czasu.
Ponieważ ta książka ma dość spore przeskoki czasowe, proponuję tuż przed zabraniem się za nią przeczytać serię Jade opowiadającą, co się działo z Garretem w ciągu tych kilkunastu lat. A działo się dużo i można się przekonać, że niedaleko pada jabłko od jabłoni. Przeczytanie o tym w skrócie zepsuje przyjemność czytania tej serii, a na pewno warto, żeby znaleźć odpowiedzi na niektóre pytania.

I tried not to finish this book in one day like I usually does when I'm really into a book where I concentrate and put my mind into it. I read this as painstakingly slow as possible as I could and absorb everything you've wrote, because honestly Allie? I don't want this series to end. I admit there were scenes that didn't correlate. But it's super fine. No big deal. When I was at the last 50pages, I was waiting for something to come up that would delay the story and prevent them from having their happy ending this time or like if Holton/Leland have some back-up evil plan for her when she decides to show up to her family or anything! Really! That would make you produce another book next to this one. Maybe of Lily next time? Lol! When I read this, I didn't depict them as the couple who's aged, I picture them still on their early adulthood. I find it quite amusing though. Lol! Anyway, I guess I need to accept the fact this is where Pearce and Rachel's story ends, well and of Garret and Jade as well. Now it makes me want to wish on an ornament for my own Pearce Kensington. You did them justice Allie. Congratulatons and thank you for sharing this with us! Clap! Clap!

Why Rachel had to suffer so long??I didnd like that and that she lost Garret's life so much..Pearce married that bitch Katherine..a evil womam...

In the end Rachel and Pearce got together after 15 years apart..I cried when she and her son Garret got together finaly....such a moment..with Pearce too!!

Lily Pearce's daughter with the bitch has now Rachel to show her love and care :)

After so much pain and death finaly an happy ending, I just wished Rachel could had the chance to have another baby...but she has grandchildren now to babysit and Lily to take care...Rachel couldnt be more happy.....

Absolutely amazing

Omg I absolutely loved this book!!!! I'm still bawling because of it!!!! I started crying about the middle of the book to the end and still going lol. I wish we were getting another book but I know it's the last in the series. Maybe you will surprise us with something else hahaha. Garrett,Jade,Pierce, and Rachel plus the babies and Lilly have become family going to miss them very much. I recommend everyone read The Jade Series and The Kensington Series so great.

[Annie4821 · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely loved the Keningston and Jade series. The author has an amazing talent for letting her readers feel the emotions of the characters of the book. I laughed, cried, and could feel the love they all had for each other throughout the books. I read the Kensington series in a few days. I couldn't put it down. I was so sad to see this series end. I wanted it to go on and on, but I loved how she wrapped up the series. I'm hoping she'll write a book about Lilly. I would love to hear her story.

[Megan]

The best one yet.

I have fallen in love with this series and the final installment does not disappoint. After years separated it's wonderful to finally see how Pierce and Rachel's love has weathered. The scenes with Jade and Garret are an added bonus that make this book fantastic. I'm sad it's over but in love with how it ended.

[Antonia Requena · Rating 4 out of 5]

Straight to the point closeout

I love both main couples, and their trials and tribulations. This last book gave us a true happy ending for all involved. As for the series on a whole, I've never read anything where the prologue gave just as much to the core, as the actual story. Great series from Jade on. Thanks for a memorable series!
