The mark of an amazing writer or writers is when they can make you believe you are right there in the book with the characters and the writing duo of Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott has done that with Finding Forever. I felt my pulse ratcheting up as they took the stage for the first time after tragedy struck the last time they performed, I felt tears roll down my face as the confronted the past and let the light into their lives again, and I felt the love that surrounded them as one band member brought new life into the world and two more tied the knot. To anyone who reads my reviews you know that rock star books are my jam and I have been a huge fan of Cari and Taryn from the start, but I’ve also been honest in my reviews when a book didn’t work for me, well let me say that Finding Forever not only worked, it was magical.
I loved that while this book focused mainly on Elle and Mal, it also gave time to Jules and Tristan and the rest of the band was right there with them. I appreciate that these characters are flawed, but work so hard to be the best person they can be. Elle brings out a different side in Mal few see and I have loved watching him soften just a tinge, but there is no doubt he is still his bada$$ self. Mal centers Elle, he’s given her the acceptance and security she hasn’t felt since she was a very small child and it is easy to see she is his world. Jules and Tristan have struggled with how to go on just the two of them after losing their partner, but their baby boy is bringing them joy and giving them hope for the future. I cried many a tear in the scenes with these two and even more with Tristan had a nice, long chat with Randy. The rest of the band amazed me with their strength and perseverance and while horrific, the accident that affected them all also made them a stronger unit.
I was lucky to have the time to re-read the entire series before Finding Forever released and I’m glad I did, it gave me time to reflect on their rough beginning and their troublesome middle and this book gave me a look at their fantastic future. I am also thrilled that since Warning Sign will be touring with Brooklyn Dawn, we’ll get to see snippets of this group as the new series unfolds.
Finding Forever had me feeling a gambit of emotions, but most of all it gave me such a sense of hope that this band and their significant others will find joy not only in the music they play, but in their lives day in and day out. Well done ladies on bringing another series to a spectacular conclusion.

I just love getting lost in the world of Oblivion. Whether it be the Oblivion band members or Warning Sign, I adore everything about the characters.

Grab your tissues, because this is one story that had me crying, from beginning to end. I loved their story. I'm sorry that this is the last of the FIO series. I loved each character as they grew, found their partners and become families.
The comeback show was rocky. The memories of what happened with the last concert they performed and the loss of, Randy, a part of their family hung heavy on everyone. Jules appears on stage with them at almost nine months in her pregnancy, for the last song.
Jules and Tristan continue to mourn Randy, the coming baby holds them together with hopes of a part of Randy. They haven't figured how to move on with the absence of an integral part of their family.
Elle and Mal are finally together living at Mal's, even though Elle continues to keep her apartment. They are hot and heavy and differences are part of their relationship but they always made up, hot and heavy. Mal tells Elle that he wants her to live with him all the time, asks her to give up her apartment and to marry him. Of course she says yes. But will they set a wedding date?

It's the kind of book you never want to end. It'll make you laugh and cry, you'll feel relieved that the Ripper Records universe is still a place where things end well. After reading all previous books you feel like you're part of the family, and it is a good feeling to know they are ending this book on a positive note despite all the dramatic events before.
The author duo is known for their ability to write about rock music on stage in a way you practically see the concert video inside your head. And they deliver again. And those characters are so realistic.... I just hope the two writing ladies won't ever tire of expanding their universe with more musical colleagues of the oblivion/hammered/warning sign/Brooklyn dawn family. I admire their skills in keeping the threads together, because with each series there are more connections to take into account. Thanks to Taryn and Cari for yet another wonderful book!

I will preface my review with this disclaimer, I am a huge fan of Taryn & Cari's and got an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This book? This one is by far the best written story about the subject matter involved that I think I've ever read by anyone. The emotions and the grief, the love and the happiness, everything that is involved in this story was done masterfully and beautifully. I absolutely adored it and will reread it again. As an end of a series, this was perfectly done.

Mal just says the nicest things, “your **ts are works of art. The day I don’t notice them barely held in by a pair of flimsy lace cups is the day you can check my pulse and call for the morgue.” I liked this book, I loved seeing what the band was up too, and how their lives were progressing.

Ever since the accident that turned their lives upside down, the members of Warning Sign have been trying to find their way. Their way back to their band. Their way back to themselves. Their way back to their loves. Jules and Tris are struggling. They miss Sparks, their other half. They've each got huge doses of survivor's guilt. But at least Jules is carrying the only piece of Randy they have left. She is starting to realize how disconnected and numb she's been since the accident and she knows she needs to re-connect with the other half of her heart - Tristan. Can they make it work as a duo when things had been
"so knotted up between them that the three of them were always involved."
Mal and Elle are dealing with their own survivor's guilt and feeling perhaps as if maybe Mal saved the wrong person, or at least they think perhaps Jules feels Mal saved the wrong person. Plus, Elle has been in physical rehab for months trying to get herself into playing shape. And they're engaged. Will they ever make it down the aisle?
And then, Li's huge announcement and what it could mean for the band and all the people involved with the band. It could make their reputation to do this tour; but not everyone can really afford such a huge time commitment with children in school, partners who aren't in the band and who have jobs that aren't rockstar and rockstar related, and time away from loved ones. Can they all do this? Should they do this?
If you've been reading this series, you already know that Cari and Taryn are masters of the rockstar genre. No one does rockstar love quite like they do, and they've outdone themselves with Finding Forever. My heart broke at the end of Perfect Pitch, and it didn't quite heal until I read Finding Forever. Thank you Cari and Taryn for this heart-healing, beautiful and sexy story that gave my favorite fictional rockstars the healing they so desperately needed.

I will NEVER get tired of the Oblivion-verse stories. In Finding Forever, a few loose ends are tied up, while the set-up is prepared for a new set of stories.
The feels started early for me since one of the storylines dealt with a recent tragedy in the characters' past. This part of the book easily could've been a huge downer, but it was subverted and turned into an incredibly uplifting and life-affirming arc.
He didn’t deserve more tears out of her. Or that she couldn’t handle something so basic as taking care of her man.
Her man.
It was high time she treated him like it. She was so stupid. Tristan had been the most understanding guy on the planet and she was taking advantage of him in so many ways.
She went up on her toes and closed her mouth over his.
There was also the continuation of the romance between Elle/Nicki and Malachi (Mal). I honestly never thought the day would come when I'd dig Mal, but hey, Cari and Taryn made me love Nick, so they're miracle workers. We got the couple's backstory in other books, and in Finding Forever we get to see their happily ever after. Or perhaps their fireworks ever after? Yeah, that's more like it.
"I know you love my sister. No matter what kind of shit I dish out at you, you stand and take it. You’re a good dude, even if going bald as a fashion choice lost popularity in the Telly Savales era.”
“Tell Vin Diesel that.”
Christ, did he really just say that? Mal rubbed his brow. He needed to get married fast before this love plague infested his entire personality and turned him into a man who bought Hallmark cards “just because.”
Elle & Mal's band, Warning Sign, is also given a huge professional opportunity here, and there's a lot of uncertainty swirling around the decisions the band has to make. That's the main impetus for the setup of the stories coming next - based around the characters in Brooklyn Dawn.
I honestly cannot WAIT to read more from these two, no matter what universe they choose next. I urge you to become a fangirl as well. (You can be a male fangirl, I give you my permission)
I give Finding Forever 5 Vanilla Ice Tank Top Stars.

REVIEW: 4.5 stars--FINDING FOREVER is the seventh full-length instalment in Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott’s contemporary adult FOUND IN OBLIVION rock star, romance series focusing on the rock band Warning Sign. FINDING FOREVER follows two couples we have met previously (Mal Shawcross and Ricki aka Elle Crandall in Raw Rhythm / Jules Reece and Tristan Eves in Triple Trouble) as they struggle to move past the ‘accident’ that is slowly pulling apart the band, and took the life of someone they loved. FINDING FOREVER should not be read as a stand alone as there is a continuing premise that addresses the fragile relationships between the members of the band. The FOUND IN OBLIVION series is a spin off from Quinn and Elliott’s LOST IN OBLIVION series. Several characters from LIO cross over for cohesion and continuity, as well as a quick peak into the authors’ upcoming series spin-off MADE IN OBLIVION focusing on the rock band Brooklyn Dawn.
Told from four third-person perspectives including Ricki, Mal, Jules and Tristan, FINDING FOREVER focuses on grief, forgiveness, healing and love. The once tight-knit members of Warning Sign are about to face their greatest fears as they step onto the stage for the first time in six months following the accident that all but destroyed the band and their lives. While Jules and Tristan struggle to move forward, Mal is consumed with the knowledge that he had to make a choice and not everyone is happy with the choices he made. Hoping to find his own happily ever after Mal is desperate to prove he is worthy of Elle Crandall’s love.
Juliet Reece battles the all-consuming grief of death and loss but her inability to let go is destroying her relationship with Tristan Eves, the man who is willing to sacrifice everything to keep his small family together-forever.
The friendships and relationships between the members of the band are nearing the breaking point as Jules is unable to forgive and forget, and Mal’s mood swings continue to push everyone beyond their limits. The potential to co-headline an upcoming tour forces Jules and Tristan, as well as Mal and Ricki to take a deeper look into their partnerships, to ensure everyone gets their happily ever after.
There are numerous colorful secondary and supporting characters including all of the members of the rock band Warning Sign and their significant others-Michael, Chloe, West and Lo, Ethan, Luc and Molly; Hammered’s lead singer Hunter Jordan, and his brother, security specialist Noah; Brooklyn Dawn’s Lindsey York, Jamie DuCaine and record producer Alex Nash; and several members of the band Oblivion including Simon and Margo, Nick and Lila, as well as Ricki’s best friend Teagan Daly, who is about to join Brooklyn Dawn. Lindsey and Alex’s story is next in Play Dirty, the first instalment in the authors’ new Made in Oblivion series.
FINDING FOREVER is a story of family, friendships, strength and bond. The detailed and revealing premise is realistic and energetic; the characters are tenacious, sassy, spirited and flawed. FINDING FOREVER is an inviting, passionate and emotionally satisfying story –here’s hoping for continuing updates throughout the new series.

This is book 7 in the Found in Oblivion series and you absolutely need to read the books previous in order to understand what they are talking about at times and to understand where the characters are not only in their lives but mentally and emotionally. This one is more of a continuation of Mal and Elle's story from the Raw Rhythm but it also has Jules and Tristan's point of views in there as well. It shows how the band is doing now and follows Mal and Elle as they find their normal for them and make every part of their relationship permanent.
I loved this book!! I was heart broken at the end of book 5 with happened with Randy. Raw Rhythm pushed the heart break even further but also showed how people may be able to move one eventually. This book though, it pushes all your feelings out there and you remember why you fell in love with these characters to begin with. Mal and Elle are still absolutely perfect for each other and I am so glad that this book just showed that even more than the previous one did. Not only do they fit mentally and emotionally but they are off the charts HOT!! And then you put in the point of view of Jules and Tris. That right there still makes me want to cry. However, the way things end up at least gave me some sort of closure with them and just made me feel for them even more. I don't want to give it away but I can guarantee that you will be teary eyed if not out and out crying. I am so sad to see this series end but then again I am glad that there will be more writing in this world so I know these characters will crop up in other books and give us snippets with them just like we get with the LIO characters!

In this conclusion of the series, two couple get their happily ever after. This is not a stand alone. It is about two couples who have had previous books. To appreciate all that happens in this, you must read at least those two but to be honest, why wouldnt you want to read the whole series?
Mal and Ricki(or Elle she goes by both) are engaged. Surprisingly Mal is the one pushing to get the deed done. Mal who is the broody, one who doesn't mince words and is the one to throw tradition out the window is getting frustrated with Ricki for delaying. Ricki doesn't know why she is other than she still doesn't feel she deserves all that Mal is. My favorite scene in this book is one between them. She comes home to yell at him for missing a meeting when he walks out in only a towel. Her flustered debate over yelling at him or jumping him made me laugh out loud.
Juliet and Tristan are the other couple. They need to learn how to be a couple after losing the third in their relationship. Randy is never far from their thoughts especially as they get closer to the birth of their child. Jules and Tristan have built emotional walls to keep everyone out including each other. They need to let the other in again. Their story would have devastated me if it wasn't for the other couple (not that it didnt).
I will miss this band. They have made a family together. It wasn't by blood but by choice. It shows in how they interact and support one another. Well written conclusion and series.

Finding Forever is the last in the Found in Oblivion series. It’s an awesome book. I’m going to try not to spoil things too much here. Taryn Elliott and Cari Quinn are amazing at bringing this whole crew together and creating an ending that was just breathtakingly beautiful. I have loved how they bring past series into new ones and create this world of characters that fee very realistic. They are all flawed and deal with realities that could very well be true to life for anyone.
Finding Forever brings the band Warning Sign to an end in some aspects. Mainly in them finding themselves as a band and finding where their lives are meant to go. It focuses mainly on Mal and Elle (Ricki) as well as Jules and Tristan. They are the four main characters who have had to move on and adjust to life differently after tragedy struck in the previous book.
This book brought me a lot of smiles but just as many, if not more, tears. It is not a book I would say could be read as a stand alone or as a beginner book to this series. It needs to be the ending. It is a great one that puts in all of the puzzle pieces to their spots.
While this is the ending of Warning Sign’s story, I look forward to seeing peeks of these characters in other books. Just like we’ve seen members of Oblivion since that series ended. (Or at least, I desperately hope so.) I can’t wait for Brooklyn Dawn’s story next. I’ve been wanting theirs since the Oblivion series! I received this book in exchange for an honest review.

4.5 Stars. Warning Sign is back! Finding Forever is the 7th book in the rockstar series “Found in Oblivion”. We get to see all of our favorite rockstars from this series and their significant others in this book as well as Nikki and Lila. Finding Forever builds on the previous books and cannot be read as a standalone.
Told from Mal and Elle’s POV (from Raw Rhythm) and Jules and Tristan’s POV (from Triple Trouble), the book picks up months after the horrifying on stage incident that rocked the band to their core. I really enjoyed this book. Mal and Elle were two of my favorite characters and I am happy that they were in the center of Finding Forever. It was good to see how the characters were all surviving life and trying to find themselves again. While things can never be the same for all of them, especially Jules and Tristan, they are trying to find happiness in a time of grief. There are so many emotions in this book - grief and celebration of new beginnings, sadness and happiness, excitement, and hope. The book moves at a good pace and I was sad when it ended because I love the characters that Taryn Elliott and Cari Quinn have created. The only thing that I wish were that there were some chapters told from the other members of the band's POV (hence, why I gave it 4.5 stars and not 5). There are HEAs with no cliffhangers.
I received this book as an ARC and I voluntarily leave this review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I really enjoyed this book. Mal and Elle were two of my favorite characters and I am happy that they were in the center of Finding Forever. It was good to see how the characters were all surviving life and trying to find themselves again. While things can never be the same for all of them, especially Jules and Tristan, they are trying to find happiness in a time of grief. There are so many emotions in this book - grief and celebration of new beginnings, sadness and happiness, excitement, and hope. The book moves at a good pace and I was sad when it ended because I love the characters that Taryn Elliott and Cari Quinn have created. The only thing that I wish were that there were some chapters told from the other members of the band's POV (hence, why I gave it 4.5 stars and not 5). There are HEAs with no cliffhangers.

* 5 stars *
Finding Forever is the last book in the Found in Oblivion series and Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott give readers everything we've been clamoring for. This series has been an emotional one and this book ties everything together while also leading the way for a new series to be born.
There's so much happening in this story and Quinn and Elliott use multiple points of view to make it easy to follow along. The story progresses at a steady pace and readers are treated to several significant life events in the lives of our favorite band, Warning Sign. Several of our favorite Lost in Oblivion characters make appearances and we get to know some new characters who will take us along on the ride in Quinn and Elliott's next generation of rock stars. While reading this story, I laughed and I cried, vacillating between powerful emotions as the band comes to grip with moving on after a horrific tragedy. The authors constantly tugged at my heartstrings but soothed me in the way that only these two can. Add in a hefty dose of HOT, HOT, HOT and Finding Forever is the perfect ending to an amazing series. I can't wait to see what these fabulous authors come up with in their next series!

In this *gasp* last story for the members of Warning Sign, loose ends are taken care of for two of the couples -- Mal and Ricki and Jules and Tristan.
Everything seems to be going great for engaged couple Mal and Ricki, until the night of their comeback show when lots of old demons taunt Ricki and leave Mal wondering if he's ever going to really be with the women he loves. The beginning of this book is just awesome with everyone in the band experiencing lots of crazy emotions.I'm never disappointed with these authors descriptions of the performance scenes and that's one of the pluses with this series. And what can I say about Mal -- I loved how he was very in touch with how he felt about Ricki and their future together. Very swoony.
Jules and Tristan also move forward away from their grief of losing their partner. There was a lot going on emotionally here too, with the two remaining partners picking up the pieces of the life and moving forward. There are happy moments too, but their POV chapters were a sad reminder of what everyone had lost and it was hard to hold back a tear or two in the final scenes. They were touching and nice tribute to Randy.
Overall, another fun and satisfying read in this series.

This book was sent to me by the authors for an honest review. Even though I'm not ready for this series to end, the authors did a good job of wrapping it up. Told from four povs, Mal and Elle, and Tristan and Jules. The storyline with Mal and Elle is about how Mal would do anything for Elle and in return just wants her to become his wife. Elle is trying to let go of the demons from her past but is having a hard time. Mal convinces her that he is always there for her. Jules and Tristan's storyline broke my heart and made me cry. They are still dealing with the loss of Randy, but not together. Jules keep pushing him away because she feels guilty without Randy around. After giving birth to her son, she still pushes Tristan away. She is jealous of how Joshua is more attached to Tristan than to her. When she thinks about how she feels about that, she realizes what she has been doing to Tristan and what he must feel. She is afraid that she might have lost not only Tristan, but also her place with the band. She needs to figure out how to make amends with Tristan, Warning Sign, and her friends that she wronged. Looking forward to the new series that will be coming out.

Forever in LOVE with Warning Sign!
So first of all I thought this story was going to focus solely on Malachi and Elle....boy was I surprised it the best way possible. Taryn and Cari bring this series full circle by giving us more of everyone. We come to understand how everyone is coming back to life after the tragic events of last November. The words in this book are poetic and bring together the hurt and give us the ability to heal along with the band Warning Sign. We get to see Mal and Ell in their element along with Tristan and Jules! It is perfect! It is beautiful! The words were brought to life by the emotions that the characters brought out in themselves and in me. Seriously, this series could not have come to a close any better. It was worth the wait!!! I loved that they bridged Brooklyn Dawn to the Warning Sign crew because it means we get to see more of them in the next series. I can not praise this book enough. I loved that we got to be part of the HEA and as always one of my favorite things about these ladies is that they incorporate Oblivion and Hammered and all of the best characters from other awesome series that these ladies have written.

I’m absolutely addicted to this series. The characters feel so real, the writing is so full of depth and emotion, it’s impossible not to get pulled in. I read the entire book on a flight home last night and had to discreetly wipe some tears away more than once.
This story was everything. Things I wanted to happen, happened. Things I didn’t know I wanted to happen, happened! It was the perfect way to close out this series.
I love everything these ladies write, but I have a special place in my heart for all of these rockers. Mal is by far my favorite Warning Sign member him and Elle together make me so happy! Their honesty with each other is one of the things I like the best about them. They keep each other in check and their relationship is solid because of it.
I didn’t realize how much I needed the closure for Jules until I started reading it. Her sadness and anger were so raw. The way Tristan stayed by her side despite his own sadness and her reluctance to open up was so moving.
Such an amazing cast of characters and another phenomenal book by my favorite authors!

Jules and Tristan have floated apart since Randy's death. Will this baby bring them together again? This book was a great book but it made me cry at times. Great job Ladies on this great book. I hope we see some of the Found in Oblivion in some of your other books

A Rock Family In Every Sense
This story wasn’t just about Mal and Elle it brought Tristan and Jules to the forefront as well, along with the rest of their amazing bandmates and families. This is the first time back since the accident that changed their lives especially for Elle and Jules. Elle had struggled to overcome her injury just to take the stage again and Jules had to overcome the tragedy that affected her life in so many ways.
Finding Forever tugs at your heart and has you bouncing of your feet with this storyline that takes you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. There are bright spots with some very low moments as well. Like I said rollercoaster!! Fantastic story yet again by these authors who always leave you turning pages so fast because you can’t wait to see what comes next. I always look forward to their books and can’t wait to see what they have next for me to devour.

A great surprise to see this book isn't only about Mal and Elle, it has some of everyone and really is the perfect book if you are a fan of this series.
We left off when tragedy struck and now we get to step on stage with this band again after what happened. You will hold your breath and yet know that this band is amazing and that these characters have each others backs, even if one feels "off" for a night or is more concerned with someone else and while it wasn't their best performance it was one for the records. You may have tears throughout this one, and it really is the perfect ending to such a great series.
This book has so many emotions as these bandmates/friends deal with grief and even forgiveness and love. All of these emotions come together and even clash at times. Again, there will be tears so have your tissues nearby. This band really is a family and watching them come together and show us why we love this band and these authors.

Finding Forever, the final book in the Found in Oblivion series was so worth the wait! The book explores in depth the character’s journeys through tragedy, loss, redemption, guilt, recovery and finding joy in life and music again. What struck me the most was the genuineness of the dialogue, these characters have become so real to me over the course of the series, they’re like good friends and every word they speak rings true. If you’ve been on the Oblivion journey all along, this book will melt your heart, stir your soul, and stay with you long past the final pages. In between the drama, there are lots of laughs and plenty of scorching sexy times as well, but the core of this story is love and family and forever. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars, it’s one of my favorites by these authors and I’ve read virtually every word they’ve published. It’s a masterpiece.

So much sadness has surrounded Warning Sign since that one night on stage changed everything. I was so thankful for this story because it glued all the broken pieces of their lives back together. Mal and Elle so in love yet struggling. In this story we see them deal with their struggles and find their way. Juliet and Tristan, fighting threw the loss of a Randy. Their story was so emotional. With the addition of a baby, they both found their way back to each other. Love has always been there but in this great story we got to see that the fight to get past the pain was so worth it. It’s not a spoiler that they find their HEA. What this story is about is their journey and their thoughts as they got there. Huge fan of this series and after reading this I feel better knowing they have found forever.

What an amazing and satisfying ending to this series. It was at turns heartbreaking and heartwarming, and I had to keep a box of tissues handy as there were so many feels about love, loss, parenthood and belonging. Of course, there was also the odd dash of steam heat and laughter as we have come to expect from these exceptional authors. It felt like we were celebrating not only Elle and Mal’s wedding, but also the resilience of everyone after so many losses and challenges. Also excited to see cameos from key players in the Oblivion Universe as well as a few potential threads for future books, so I am happily anticipating we can continue to check back with our favourite band members and their extended families. Absolutely Loved it! Final Rating: 5 Platinum Stars-on my 2018 Favourites List!

This is the conclusion of the Foundation in Oblivion series and I must say it went out on the same high it stared.
As Warning Signs is trying to pull itself together after the tragedy this book shows us how all involved are surviving.
Mal and Elle must deal with survivors guilt, as well as the guilt they feel for Jules.
Jules and Tristan must figure out how to continue as a duo.
This book, like the others, puts the reader right into the heart of the group. We have watched each member find their way and their significant other. We have laughed, gotten angry and cried with them. This wonderful writing duo gives the reader a series you never want to end.
I'm hoping with the new series we may still get a glimpse of all those characters that have become a part of our lives.
I was given this book for an honest voluntary review.

Absolutely wonderful book. A really great follow up to see where the characters are after the terrible tragedy. A great glimpse into Jules and Tristan's daily life as they figure out their new normal. Also waiting the arrival of their baby.
A wedding!! Also we see the more marshmellow inside of Mal. You can't help but love him. Despite the gruff exterior.
Many favourite characters from previous books make appearances. This book helped flesh out more of the relationships between the different bands.
Their are both sad and happy tears. Moments of laughter and of course steamy sexy moments.
I was sad to see the book end...I wanted it to go on forever.
Thank you ladies for taking us on another great journey behind the scenes of these bands and it's people we have all fallen in love with.

This story follows Elle and Malachi as well as Jules and Tristan and their journey to figure out who they are without Randy. It's also a little bit about the future of the band as they have been given a huge opportunity for a world tour, but they have to figure out whether they're willing to sacrifice a "regular" life for the big time. For Jules, it's a difficult decision because she doesn't want to ask Tristan to give up his career to follow her around, though she can't imagine not being with him and the baby for long stretches of time. But they figured it out. And Elle and Malachi pulled off an impromptu wedding, which seemed a little more planned by Malachi than Elle even knew about, which was sweet. But it seems the band is hitting the road and everyone's in a good place after the chaos that plagued them before.

This was a free book that I received, and as I was reading it, it was clear that I was missing the back story to the characters... & that's when I realized that this was book 7.
While the author does a reasonable job of reviewing the various characters' stories, it goes from couple to couple, showing problems, wrapping up various story lines... It seemed okay, but there were too many characters for me to know & I didn't have any emotional attachment to them, since this was the 7th book.
I think, if I had read at least some of the other books in the series, my opinion would have been better. I'm not sure why an author would give the 7th book in a series for free rather than book 1 &/or book 2, but I checked, & these are not free.
If this book had been a standalone book, then my opinion would be much different...
