Lake Emerald Chronicles #3
Fall In Love
Clary and the boys return to where it all began... Lake Emerald Summer Camp.
Will Clary’s newest yet oldest friend possibly become more than that? And will the others accept him into their midst?
With things heating up on the love front, danger returns as someone is still watching from the shadows and sending Clary threatening notes again.
When another girl gets attacked in the woods, Clary’s boys all come together to make sure the one they love the most is protected.
While Clary and her two best friends fall in love, they realise that nothing is what it seems and help can come from where you least expect it.
All the mysteries will be revealed in the conclusion of the trilogy: new relationships will form, some will dissolve and others will strengthen in the hottest summer Lake Emerald has seen yet.
TRIGGER WARNING: this book contains underage sex and drinking and some mild violence which some could find distressing. For readers 18+

Love this series!!!
I fell in love with the people in Clary’s world , I will truly miss them & will definitely have to revisit & read again ... If you spot this series don’t bypass it because you will truly miss out on one of the best stories I’ve ever read , couldn’t love this author more than what I do after reading Clary’s story!!

A fantastic ending to a great series. Well developed characters, exciting plot, steamy, and overall a wonderful read. I loved the interaction between the characters and how they handled their respective families when hurdles developed. Add more issues at camp that they have to resolve and you've got a great storyline. And I also loved the fact that the author (Melissa Adams) provided a great ending to this series yet left an opening for possible future stories at camp. From The First Summer to A Winter Tale and ending with Fall In Love, you've got an awesome contemporary RH read. Well done, Melissa Adams, so very well done! Highly recommend this series.

Wow, what an amazing ending to such a wonderful series!! Clary is such a strong willed and loving character. You can’t help but fall in love with all her boys. The highlights of such real life issues was so heart wrenching and just made you love the story more. I would definitely recommend this book!! Thank you Melissa for yet another job well done.

Very very sweet
I really enjoyed this series as a whole, although it was so sweet as to almost cause tooth decay! I read all 3 books in succession and after the entire book 2 being teen angst over whether Clary should have sex with her boys (which got a little tiresome), I did wonder if I should take a break from the series before starting book 3. But I am glad I didn't because book 3 was great, with a bit more action and crime solving which kept the story flowing. Plus Clary got over her "when to lose her v card" dilemma which had been starting to drag on a bit.
Overall, highly enjoyable with sweet and caring guys. Preston becomes a bit more likeable although his pet name for Clary is probably the worst and most annoying pet name in RH books. But I can overlook the shudder-inducing pet name and still give the book 5 stars because by the end I was still wanting more of Emerald Lake.

What a fantastic finale to Clary and her boys’ story. This book was full of twists and turns and kept you guessing every step of the way. Not everyone ends up with who you think they will, but it all works out amazingly in the end! I can’t say enough about Melissa Adams and how much I love her writing. I have not found a book of hers that I did not love! I cannot wait for the Novellas featuring Clary and her boys, and also the promised future books!

Oh man! I didn't want to see this series end! But I REALLY loved the end!! So good! Xander and Logan are still my favorites 💓 😜 I love that Hazel and Brie have their own boyfriends. And Brie is still her crazy self and I LOVE it! Such a wonderful book and series. Highly recommend this one!!

Ok First, of before, I get too far into my review I should say trigger warning for this and the 1st book. This was a hard one for me. What I liked: I liked the mc and her guys (well most of the time a few times I did want to shake her), I liked their interactions, their commitment to each other and how their relationship evolved including the intimacy, the epilogue and how the characters were wrapped up. I am finding that I am not a fan of rh where the main female adds guys as she goes but that is on me not the author and in this case, it worked given the context. What I did not like: the fact that the guys saw other girls after meeting her or after being interested in her (not in this book per se but in the others), the whole a man has "needs" as an excuse for guys sleeping around and other behaviors, there were so many side plots going on above and beyond their romance (everyone else romances including cousins with friends, brothers with friends, her brother and his sister, her friend with her ex, her friends ex with her other friend, the whole camp at risk, rob his nasty crew and his stuff i.e. trigger warning, the nasty mean girls at camp, the stalker, the mothers relationship and in my opinion abusive behavior toward them, Austin), the attitudes of her female friends regarding sex and relationships especially Brie, there seemed to be a lot of sensative/trigger stuff like rape, assault, sexual harassment, verbal/emotional/physical abuse, extortion/blackmail, underage drinking/drugs/sex, counselors having sex with the campers, physical attacks, stalking, threats, etc... the way in which these things were handled almost casually throughout the story bothered me. The "adults" response to all of this also bothered me. Instead of shutting the camp down in book 1 and this book, after the mc & others almost dying from being attacked, a girl(s) being (drugged) raped, someone threating & stalking the mc, attempted rape & assault of the mc and others, drinking and drug use among staff. Instead, they chose to almost cover it (oh they had excuses why) all up to keep the camp open. To be honest they should have shut it down given the severity of the crimes and the risk to the campers. Unfortunately these things kind of ruined the story for me :(

Aww... This was the perfect ending to this series. I have fallen completely in love with Clary, Joel, Logan, Xander and Preston. This is the first summer back at the camp after Clary and her guys have gotten together. A lot of things have changed in all of their lives. Being back at camp brings back lots of memories for everyone some good some bad. Clary begins to receive threatening notes again and everyone is on their toes trying to find the culprit. Some big things happen at camp and feelings are revealed for some. I'm going to miss these characters. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of them. I like how know one gives in to outside pressure to abandon their relationship. Instead they fight harder to stay together.

I Love, Love , Love this series. If you haven’t read the first two please do. This book is the ending of Clary’s adventure. Yes. I would definitely say adventure fits here. She has had the Love, Sex, Very Hot Sex, Drama and Danger. The characters develop in such a way that you feel like you know them. You are rooting for them and frustrated with them as you read. I felt at times I could crawl into this book and hang out with them.
A Reverse Harem book can be hard sometimes to connect to all of the characters. But as I said above. That is not the case here. You don’t just connect with the main characters but Clary’s friends too.
This is definitely going to be a series on my list for rereads. I definitely recommend!!!!

Sweetest ending ever
This final book is definitely appropriately named. I fell in love all over again with the characters in this book. While the genre is definitely romance, I’m in love and greatly appreciates Ms Adams for including a bit of that mystery, sleuthing, detective adventure to the story. I couldn’t ask for anything more. Like the other books, this one has it all. The drama, romance and excitement of all their adventures. The whole story will take you on an emotional roller coaster ride and will have you melting until the very end. I’m sad to read the end, but very satisfied at how it all wrapped up.

I love this book. There's the character you already fell in love with in the first two books and you find yourself even more in love with them in this book. There's surprises with Austin and Preston with Clary that will have you at the edge of your seat. There's alittle drama that makes it interesting and the romance are sweet and spicy but it's the ending that makes you so happy that you cant help but be in complete aww over these books. I'm telling you if you haven't read these books you need to.
February 19, 2019
This was by far the best book of the series! There is love and heartbreak and I could feel everything that Clary was going through. It’s rare to get the story after the group is officially together so it was great seeing everyone together and how they cope with outside forces. The author does an amazing job of tackling difficult subjects, especially exploring one’s sexuality. It’s something that most books skip right over so I’m glad it was a big part of the whole series. This book also had closure for some of their friends and I loved seeing everyone get their happily ever after!

Best in the Series
This book was my favorite in the series. I noticed less errors, the story flowed better and I didn't have as many difficulties remembering who's POV I was reading since the voices of the characters were more distinct than previous installments. Like the first book, I very much enjoyed the camp setting. My favorite aspect of this book though was the epilogue. I love it when authors provide a glimpse into the distant future. Overall, this was an interesting series that kept me entertained for hours.

This book was exactly how I was hoping the series would end!
Clary and her guys had a wild year and are back where it all started. With some questions needing to be answered, a summer at camp isn't as relaxing as it used to be.
I found myself disliking characters that I liked in previous books and liking ones that I didn't think I ever would.

I have Fallen in Love with the Lake Emerald Chronicles. Melissa Adams has done a spectacular job of making her characters come to life for me as a reader. Some trilogy's leave you asking questions but Melissa answer all of them in book 3 and at the same time, Will leaving you wanting more of Clary and her boys. If you have read "The First Summer" and " A Winter Tale" then do not miss out on "Fall in Love".

It was great to get the final installment in this trilogy. I was both wowed by some of the twists and some suspicions were confirmed. I really like when not everything is completely predictable and it definitely wasn't here.
The development of all of Clary's relationships is great. I love how the "group" in general work together. And especially the epilog was amazing to have in there.
I am looking so much forward to reading more books by this author.

I loved the conclusion of the series and so glad that there will be a series 2.
I don't want to spoil it for others but I recommend this book: it's hot there's intrigue, friendship, danger and all the feels you could ever want for. Preston and Joel? My favorites by a long way. and The sex scenes are amazing! You need to read the whole series, the characters show growth they mature as does the writer's writing .

Well, this has been a great series. In this last book, I love how all the guys come together in their relationships as well as with Clary. I’m glad the Summer Camp mysteries are solved and I like how it ends. Even though I’m still annoyed with Austin and I really don’t like those two moms, I’m happy with how it leaves us.
February 17, 2019
Now th8s is a continuation of the previous books. Read those before this one. I absolutely love it. I like that Clary is clear to the guys and how her relationship each of the guys progresses naturally. Getting to know Preston better. Hating Austin for what he did to Clary. Multiple times but thd story overall is well written. It's entertaining and a book i will re-read often.
February 17, 2019
Wonderful ending to Clary and her boys' story (or at least this part of it). They have scary moments and rough patches in this book, but also sweet moments and you get to see them settling into their relationships even more. The characters are very well written and feel real. I love seeing their interactions with not only each other, but also the other characters in the book.
March 23, 2019
Outstanding writing! This book has it all. Love, mystery and even some drama. There were twists and turns, laughter and tears but it all just draws you in and keeps you wanting to read more! I loved this book and the characters and am sad that this is the end. The story was wrapped up beautifully. I highly reccomend this book.
February 28, 2019
I absolutely loved these books! The characters were so well written from each POV that I really knew what each one was feeling. This series is put together so well and I feel like it really shows how people can grow close and far apart during certain points and events in life. Melissa did really well with this series and I cannot wait to read more from her!

Book 3
This was the third book in the Lake Emerald Chronicles. There are so many questions answered and though there were some twists leaving me wondering WTF it was altogether a great book. The characters grew and I loved that a lot of queations were finally answered. I can't wait to see what this author does next.

Great writing, loved it!
I was so mad at Austin, but what a great surprise ending.
I am falling for Preston but I really love the trio Logan, Joel & Xander.
I'm happy that Clary has these good men in her life , but also Dad, Nana & friends.
I would've loved to know if the boys ever got all together for Clary.
Will definitely keep track of Melissa's other books

Have you been following Clary and her men?
The third book of this groups' story is fantastic. The characters continue to grow and evolve. There was some great resolution from the main characters but also from the secondary characters as well.
I really enjoyed the stories.

It makes me sad that this is the last of this series.. I enjoyed it so much.. From the first chapter of the first book I fell in love.. the growth from clary and her boys. As well as her friends is astounding. I couldn't put it down.. love it!
February 16, 2019
This was the perferct ending to this story..I loved that it ended up back at camp where it all started, that setting is what hooked me in the first book..I have really enjoyed and loved all these characters and cant wait to read more from Melissa.

Amazing!!! You want a series that will absolutely have you on the edge of your seat then you have found it!!!
Fall in Love had me on the edge of my seat and kept me guessing to the very end....
The book is filled with twists and turns and you won't regret a second of it!!
