His world of tranquility will be shaken and his resolve tested. Gabriella Tobin knows nothing about Riley, but everything about his father.

To much

I only like the first book but even though it was full of drama.
There was no reason for a second book, just retelling to feel more drama.
I didn't read the third, just skimmed over the pages, when I saw a name of a woman that shouldn't be in their lives anymore, I decided not to read the book. I think the author went overboard with so much drama, angs, pain, and insecurities. So much hardship, and pain for such a beautiful couple. Lord it exhausted me. Sometimes less is better.

2 amazing love stories. Book 1 and 2 are one couple with each book from the perceptive of the couple in how they got their HEA. Book 3 is about the son finding his own love story but very different from his parents. And book 3 was the precursor to the War & Peace Chronicles series which I highly recommend as well after you complete this collection.
