Run a pie shop with her sisters for a year. Date for the first time at age twenty-nine. Don’t be terrified.

Well, she’s got the first thing under control at least. Mostly.

But this is exactly what a best friend is for. Advice, pep talks, matchmaking, sex education…

So what if her best friend is a guy? A very hot, tattooed, ex-Marine, mechanic guy? He’s definitely well-versed in everything she needs to know. And she trusts him. Who better to teach her the man-woman stuff she’s been missing out on?

But there could be one tiny problem. The only person causing her any butterflies…and dirty dreams…is her matchmaker himself.

This was a sweet friends to lovers story that turned up the heat when they became lovers.They were a really cute couple that had me smiling at the antics of the hero.This is the 3rd book of the series and the final entry.My only wish was for a better epilogue which showed the couples married with a family.The end left me hanging,turn the page and was like"that's it,the end"

This is by far one of the sweetest, funny and emotional love stories I have read this year. Love this series and this final book was everything I was hoping for and so much more...

I have adore Brynn the most from the beginning and I love her even more now.... Noah is so sexy, sweet, giving and creative loved getting to know them both better in this story and watching Brynn come out of her shell. Noah and Brynn are just the sweetest couple ever and I could not get enough of these amazing sisters and the men of Bliss they fell in love with. Would love to visit this blissful small town and have some pie.

[Simply Love Book Reviews · Rating 5 out of 5]

A shy, nerdy heroine and a selfless good guy hero make Erin Nicholas’ Cashmere and Camo, the last book in her Billionaires in Blue Jeans series, a perfect ending to a stellar series. I am in love with Bliss, Kansas and her warm and welcoming people who made the Carmichael triplets feel at home from the minute they arrived in their town car. Cashmere and Camo was probably the sweetest of the books, but at the same time the sensuality of it was off the charts.

Brynn Carmichael is all about chemistry and the lab where she and her co-workers tirelessly work to produce medications that improve the life of those with horrible diseases; she is good at her job, brilliant really and she loves her work so when she is forced to go to Bliss, Kansas for a year to fulfill the terms of her father’s will she is way out of her comfort zone, but for her sisters she will do anything. Brynn doesn’t make waves, she goes along with what others want because she’s found it easier to do so and then just crawl back into her lab or somewhere quiet to read and be by herself, but in Bliss she is forced to interact because of the stipulations on the will and in doing so Brynn has blossomed including fantasizing about her “protector” Noah Bradley, a tattooed mechanic who turns her crank.

Ever since Noah Bradley was a young boy of 10 he has been taking care of people first his sisters and mom when his dad was deployed, then his friends, and so when Rudy Carmichael knew he was dying and planned to make his daughters come to Bliss to get their inheritance, he asked Noah to watch after them, but especially Brynn. Watching after Brynn hasn’t been a hardship for Noah, he likes her, he admires her, and he wants her, but he doesn’t believe that Rudy wanted that for her so despite what he wants he is working tirelessly to help Brynn do what needs to be done before she returns to her lab in New York.

One of the things I loved most about this book was how alike Brynn and Noah are even when they don’t realize it. I love that they are perfectly good with being in the same room with one another and doing their own thing. They don’t have to fill their time with chatter, just being WITH one another is enough for them and to me that speaks volumes. I loved that Noah knew Brynn was special and inexperienced in the ways of relationships and love and was willing to let her make decisions and even lead at times. I loved that Brynn showed that even though she is shy, she isn’t afraid to ask for what she wants when she is with the right person. Basically, I LOVED everything about their friendship and their relationship.

While Cashmere and Camo was a romance first and foremost, it was also the book that tied the series together, answered some lingering questions, and gave these three women whose relationship with their father was different for each one the closure they needed and the happiness they each deserve.

For years and years I’ve been reading Erin Nicholas’s books and many have touched me, but I can honestly say this is the most heartfelt book of hers I have read and it was the perfect ending to what has been a fantastic series.

I both loved and hated this book. Loved because I think it's the best of the trilogy (and that's saying something). Hated because IT'S THE LAST ONE. WHAAAAAAAA!!! I wanted more! More Parker! More Evan! More Noah! (ESPECIALLY more Noah. RAWR.) This was a delightful addition to Nicholas' backlist. Two thumbs up and a double squee cannon salute.

[Nicole P · Rating 3 out of 5]

The conclusion to the Billionaires in Blue Jeans trilogy was not what I expected or wanted. The first two books gave teasers to the friendship/relationship between Brynn and Noah. Brynn, the quiet triplet and brilliant scientist usually goes with the flow, has to fulfilling her terms and conditions of her father's will: date six men. Noah, the stoic, alpha, swoon-worthy mechanic is tasked with helping her achieve this as well as achieving happiness and confidence. A tall order but one that he will fulfill at all costs. Despite them being close, they don't know much about each other.

Now I was expecting Noah to go all alpha, macho, beat my chest and hear me roar. Instead there was a lot of inner dialogue and repetition. It was just missing that alpha trait I come to expect in a character like Noah. As for Brynn, she was the typical quiet nerd. Her transformation was great to see but I also wanted something more from her.

That being said, I like the book and love the series. It was fun to go on this journey of self-discovery for all the characters and learn some life lessons along the way.

OMG Erin Nicholas! Noah and Brynn are so freakin adorable! Noah just makes me swoon, all big muscles, hot and sexy but sweet as anything and honestly just an amazingly selfless man. And Brynn, the sweet, quiet and nerdy scientist, what a little sex kitten she turns out to be once Noah gets her motor going. (Well, he is a mechanic after all). She really comes out of her shell in so many wonderful ways during this story. I love what she uses her big scientific brain for to give Bliss something it has never had.
Noah vowed to Rudy to take care of Brynn and by golly he is taking care of her every little need (fanning myself). Of course he is supposed to send her back to New York at the end of the year out of her shell and happy after setting her up on 6 dates as per the will. All of these couples managed to find loopholes that worked for them, I love it!! I think Noah’s loophole is the best and most creative though. I just love their non dates!
Things do not go off completely without hitches though because that would be boring.
I love how much the other couple are involved in the story.
I have enjoyed this series so very much! And as much as I loved Cori & Evan and Ava & Parker’s stories, I have to say I think this one is my favorite. So many things to love about this story, including Penn of course.
The epilogue definitely wrapped things up nicely although I do think we should revisit Bliss for some weddings and maybe babies too.
This is a must read for romance lovers out there!

I was so lucky to win an ARC of this one so I didn’t have to wait for it!

[Saly · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was really looking forward to this one but the hero's belief that heroine had to go back to NY and find "the one" annoyed me. I mean in the beginning he admitted he loved her to himself yet did nothing to keep her in his life and that annoyed me. Otherwise I liked this, how the hero grudgingly fulfilled heroine's dad's conditions for her to date yet he was the one who took her home each night. The hero was just too self-sacrificing and stuck in his head and I loved that the heroine learned to assert herself and showed him that she could choose what she wanted.

[Pam · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was the PERFECT ending to this series! Brynn & Noah have lurked in the background on the other two stories but you could sense they were really getting to know each other. Brynn never felt like she fit in. She preferred quiet & time by herself & happily traveled on the path that others thought she'd like. She wasn't unhappy but couldn't say she was happy either. She was content with status quo & isn't willing to deviate from the plan. Until her dad changed the rules!

Noah is too concerned with "taking care of everyone". Ever since his dad deployed & asked him to take care of the girls, Noah has taken that to mean doing things, like mowing the lawns, changing the oil, & fixing things. Brynn's dad has put Noah in charge of taking care of her, making her socialize. He's given him a list & Noah is taking it seriously. He's supposed to send her back to New York happy & content & he's determined that's what will happen.

Noah & Brynn really are so much alike & they don't realize it. They both do things because they are told to. They both have anger hidden deep - Brynn because no one made an effort to get to know the real her & Noah because his friend didn't listen & died on him. They both needed to stop what they were doing & listen to what others had to say. I loved that when Brynn strayed from the path & found her own happiness it incorporated her chemistry & her new love, the pie shop. She found her place! When Noah started listening, he realized that there were other ways to take care of people. You can listen to them & help them express their emotions & wishes. They both had lessons to learn & lifestyles to change. This was the perfect conclusion!!

Cashmere and Camo

Cashmere and Camo is the third and final installment in the Billionaires in Blue Jeans series by Erin Nicholas.
This book really tied the entire series together perfectly.
Final Carmichael sister Brynn is a brilliant chemist who is trying to save the world one person at a time by creating medications that help people. But now she has come to Bliss and has a few rules to fulfill if she wants her inheritance. For quiet Brynn, something like dating six guys is rather daunting.
This stipulation is going to be even harder for her friend Noah. He and Brynn have a special bond but Noah is the guy you can depend on and the one who wants to fix things. He wants to make sure this all goes well for her.

This friends to lovers story is written perfectly! It is the best combination of sweet, and sexy. Their relationship from the start makes you root for them. I absolutely adored this book but I’m so sad that the series is over and we won’t be visiting Bliss, Kansas again.

[Phuong · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love the fictional town of Bliss, Kansas thanks to Erin Nicholas and her Billionaires in Blue Jeans series. Each story just gets better and better as each of the triplet sisters get her own story and find true love. Cashmere and Camo is the highly anticipated last book of the series with Brynn and Noah and I devoured their story, could not sleep until I finished and had a book hangover that was totally worth it. I loved their story so much!!! This author did a fantastic job developing Brynn and Noah’s friendship throughout this series and it was just natural that they fell in love with each other. These two are kindred spirits, very few words need to be spoken but they know in their hearts what makes each other tick. I love how protective Noah is of Brynn and the tenderness he shows her. Brynn’s devotion and love for Noah just melts my heart and he is the perfect guy to teach her about passion. As I’ve stated from the beginning of this series, I believe Rudy knew what he was doing all along and was playing matchmaker with his will. I am sad this series has come to an end with this book but what a fantastic ride it’s been.

[Ellen Anderson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely wonderful!

I never think it can happen again, but I truly believe that Erin Nicholas just wrote her best book ever! Brynn and Noah are such a hot couple that I thought even their first kiss was going to melt my kindle. I'm having trouble coming up with words to express how much I truly loved the entire Billionaires in Blue Jeans series. It's hard to say goodbye to Bliss, Kansas and all of the wonderful characters we have met. This is a wonderful book and series for anyone who loves steamy, small town romances.

[Little.Reader · Rating 2 out of 5]

I just couldn’t get it done! 😭😭😭
I really tried. The story seemed like so much fun. The goals set for each was so cute. All unique and tailored specifically for each one. And I was so ready to dive right in! To fall in love with these new characters. And I just fell in like....ish. 😬 I don’t know but I just wasn’t sucked in like I would have wanted.
DNF

[Tracy Flick · Rating 5 out of 5]

Cashmere and Camo is a fun, flirty, steamy romance that I didn’t want to put down once I started it. Noah is a fixer, always taking care of those around him. So when Rudy asked Noah to watch over Brynn how could he say no. He just never thought he would develop feelings for her. Brynn is quiet and doesn’t like to be the center of attention like her sisters. Living with her sisters and working the lie shop has her seeking quiet time at Noah’s garage, where she likes to sit, read and ogle Noah. She never thought she would develop feelings for her best friend and finds herself wanting to take care of him, like he does everyone around him.

Noah and Brynn are absolutely wonderful together, the perfect match. I loved how their relationship started out as friends and grew in to so much more. Once they finally admitted their feelings and come together, they are scorching hot!

I wish I could give this book and series more than 5 stars. I loved all of the characters and of course the little town of Bliss!

I have to say that this book, this couple, is my favorite of the triplets series.

[Shannon Ferguson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sexy, alpha mechanic+quiet genius nerd=an explosion of sparks in this sexy read by Erin Nicholas.

I’ve been waiting for Noah and Brynn’s story, and this went above and beyond my expectations. These two are perfect together. They aren’t the fun, crazy, outgoing characters we are used to Erin writing about, but don’t worry, these two will have you falling in love with them in no time!!

Reading about their friendship that turns in to so much more was awesome. It made each of them grow emotionally so much, and I LOVED the side of Brynn it brought out. She went from a “go with the flow” girl to one who knew what she wanted and wouldn’t let anyone stop her from getting it. My heart broke for Noah and the struggles he faced emotionally. He’s this big bear type of guy who you can’t help but fall in love with.

This story was the perfect ending to this series, and will have you in tears saying goodbye to the people of Bliss. A phenomenal must read that I would definitely recommend.

[Tonya Loose Dawson · Rating 5 out of 5]

While I know I will always get an HEA with Ms. Nicholas’ books – this one was different. This book took on a life of its own – from the characters, to the arguments, to the discussions; there were no romantic clichés, every page felt real; even the description of Brynn – “…subtly-sexy-without–even-knowing-it woman who blended into the background until you got a good look at her.”

I believe this is THE BEST book that Erin Nicholas has ever written. It is fraught with emotion – you will laugh, cry, fan yourself & your heart will clench over these characters.

NOTE: Do NOT skip the epilogue because this ties all the stories together and gives so much insight you will wonder why you didn’t see it before

[Nate Brightman · Rating 3 out of 5]

I've quickly grown to love Erin Nicholas books and in the past month have been inhaling them. This was the first book I actually had to wait to be released before I could purchase it but fortunately for my impatient, immediate gratification self it was a very brief wait.
That said I was semi-disappointed in this book as the finale to this series. I thought it was a good book. I was just looking for more. I loved the shy intellectual introvert of the three triplets Brynne. I loved watching her find her voice and grow as a young woman. It was Noah the hero I struggled with. Perhaps I'm just a bit dense? Noah kept insisting that when Brynne's year in Bliss was up she had to return to N.Y.C. even though there were so many good reasons for her to want to remain in Bliss. Was it because he believed that was her late father's plan or was it because he didn't feel worthy of her? And if it was because he didn't feel worthy of her was it because her father had never included him being one of her six mandatory dates? It was fun watching supposedly innocent Brynne easily manipulate Noah into giving her just what she wanted but Noah although a good guy came off as being more than a little dense to me. I also couldn't find any fault in the way her sisters Ava and Cori had treated her each in their own way trying to bring Brynne out of her shell and involve her in activities outside of her laboratory. I didn't see it as anything they needed to feel badly about. Since this is supposed to be a romantic fantasy I'm won't grouse about how Ava a billionaire C.E.O. could find fulfillment in a minimum wage position busing tables and doing dishes in a restaurant and also the time to run a major corporation as it's C.EO. or how Brynne a brilliant scientist as well as being a billionaire was willing to give up her career to run a micro brewery and tend bar. Or that the good folks of Bliss and the surrounding area were willing to treat the triplets just live everyone else in town even though they were billionaires. Some things in this genre it just doesn't pay to question, you just enjoy the ride.
And honestly as this was the final book in the 3 book series I was slightly disappointed in the way Ms. Nicholas wrapped it all up in the epilogue. In some ways the father's last words to his daughters were touching but it also felt a little incomplete or not enough. And wouldn't having all 3 of the identical triplets walk down the aisle together in a triple wedding to marry the loves of their lives have been a great finish to the series?

[Curly Bibliophagist · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love Bliss! I'd move there in a heartbeat. And I loved this book! Cashmere and Camo is the third and final book in the Billionaires in Blue Jeans series, unless we get lucky and this awesome author decides to let some of the other characters find their Happily Ever After.

This is Noah and Brynn's story. Brynn is the middle girl in a set of beautiful identical triplets. Their father, Rudy, was a billionaire, who never married their mother because she didn't want to marry him. Rudy never had the best relationship with his daughters. He tried but the only triplet he had anything in common with was Ava. Disallusioned with his life, he took off on a road trip from New York to LA. When he had an unexpected forced stop in Bliss, he wound up staying in the town he fell in love with. Years later, when he found out he had cancer and was dying, he wrote his will with some very interesting conditions. One is that the triplets have to spend a year in Bliss.

Brynn is the quiet, smart and bookish triplet. She is a scientist and works in a lab. She lets her sisters shine while she stays in the shadows. She doesn't date and is very unsure how to act with a guy she is interested in.

Noah is a handsome, strong Marine (there is no such thing as a former Marine). He is the town mechanic. Everyone knows Noah is the one who is always taking care of people. He wants them to be happy, even if that happiness comes at the expense of his own. He is a quiet one too.

There is an obvious attraction between Noah and Brynn from the moment they meet. Only problem is that Noah promised Rudy that he'd watch over Brynn. And he'll do it, even at the cost of his own happiness. As part of the will, Brynn has to date 6 guys from Bliss in a year. It may kill Noah but he'll make sure she has her 6 dates and can go back to New York happy and knowing how to date.

This book has everything, including sex hot enough to set the sheets on fire. Or maybe the hood of a pickup. Or the bed of a pickup. Or maybe a wall or...

I had an advance copy of this book but I also bought one of my own. It was my pleasure to read it and write this honest review of the book.

[Amanda Bordner · Rating 5 out of 5]

There are honestly so many things I want to say about this book, but none of the words I have for it seem to be enough. The second this book landed on my kindle, I could NOT put it down. I read this book while I was at work, I read this book while I should have been SLEEPING. Brynn and Noah’s book was truly perfect, and Erin Nicholas has once again outdone herself with Cashmere and Camo.

The premise of the books initially threw me off a little bit. 3 heiress TRIPLET daughters, being forced by their father (who recently passed away) to move to the middle of Kansas for a year, run a pie shop, and live together, while turning a profit and being thrown totally out of their comfort zone. Yeah. This will not be a believable story. Boy was I wrong in so many ways! The stories focus on family, forgiveness, friendship, and finding yourself in the most unlikely places.

Brynn and Noah are friends. That’s it. That’s all they can be. Noah agreed to take care of Brynn while she’s here for a year, help set her up on 6 different dates, and make sure she returns to New York happy and fulfilled. That would be doable if he wasn’t already in love with her. Hah. Brynn. I truly loved Brynn. She’s always gone along with what others expect of her. She does stir things up, and she doesn’t speak out about what she really wants. However, when she’s in Bliss, she start to find out things about herself she wasn’t even aware she possessed. She’s stronger than she realized, and she’s ready to create her own path, even if that means going against what her father may have wanted for her.

This book. I cannot say enough good things about this one. It had me laughing, crying, and at one point lacking my bags to move to this fictional town!! I wanted to be friends with these characters, meet my own hero, and get my HEA in Bliss, Kansas!

This book was everything I didn’t realize I needed. I’m sure I’ve blabbed enough already, but seriously, BUY THE BOOK.

[Kim · Rating 5 out of 5]

I honestly cannot say "Erin did it again". Nope, I can't do it. I have loved, I mean LOVED, everything she has ever written, but I can't say she did it again. Erin Nicholas totally out did herself with this one!! :)

Admittedly, after reading the first two books in this series (Diamonds and Dirt Roads and High Heels and Haystacks), I was well on my way to being in love with Noah and Brynn. And Erin Nicholas did not disappoint! I absolutely loved Noah. He was a sweetheart. Noah was a complicated guy, but not in a way that made you feel sorry for him. It was more like respect for him. For Brynn, he is the most alpha guy she's ever interacted with, but I find him adorable. I also find him extremely hot, but, of course, the cover helps with that vision (awesome covers on this series btw). :) I love Erin Nicholas heroes. Noah, however, was a little different for her and I absolutely loved him. Probably one of my top four heroes by Erin Nicholas.

Brynn is my favorite of the triplets. Which is really weird. I tend to favor heroines like Cori, but there was something about Brynn that I could really respect. I respected her approach growing up with her aloof father. It was different from her sisters and came across as her being the strongest emotionally. She was believed to be shy, but quiet doesn't necessarily mean shy. :) <3 Brynn is pleasantly feisty with a touch of naivety and inexperience (and eager to learn). Which I found curious and intriguing.

I'm sad that the series has come to an end. This story has a wonderful conclusion to the entire series, but it's not finalized to the point that the author could never come back to Bliss and Mitch. :) I love that this is a three book series, but I wouldn't not buy a fourth or fifth in the series. :)

As for Mitch...I liked him. He was good for Noah and Brynn.

[Laura · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was really looking forward to this book, but Noah's belief that Brynn had to go back to New York come hell or high water and then getting involved with her happy ever after "the one" irritated me no end. In the beginning, he admitted to himself that he loved her, however, he did absolutely nothing to let her know that he wanted her or wanted to keep her in his life. No one knows anything until they are told and he may alluded to being into her and liking yet he never verbalised it. When she found something to keep her in Bliss he was harped on her going back to New York. He fulfilled, albeit with long teeth, Rudy's conditions not all but some if her six dates, yet he was the only one allowed to take her home and kiss her each night. Noah was much too self-sacrificing and stuck in his head with his own issues for most of the book. He seemed to lose all the baggage he was carrying very quickly once he realised that Brynn had learned to assert herself, was capable of being her own person, was using her skills to brew cider and beer, and after she kicked him to the curb. Then he could stop his self-sacrificing ways and admit he needed her in his life and take the necessary action to let her know what he felt and wanted. Brynn did more talking, more sharing. Whilst they knew a bit about one another they did not really communicate as much as her sisters in their books with their respective partners had. That was a bit of a disappointment as it make the ending a little dull and possibly rushed. The epilogue was a nice touch in that Ava, Brynn and Cori may have received their father's blessing and, that probably would have given them final closure. Having said that, I enjoyed the book and the series. It was an adventure to travel the journey of self-discovery with all the characters, as well as, learn some life lessons along the way.

[Heather Nobbs · Rating 5 out of 5]

An awesomely, wonderful final book in the Billionaires in Blue Jeans series. I am sad to see this end but this book wrapped it beautifully.
Now it is Brynn’s turn to find her happy ending and of course it is with Noah. Of course nothing is easy on the way to bliss for these two. Brynn is the quiet triplet that just lets her sisters and pretty much anyone decide what is going to happen. She just lets everyone take care of her because it keeps the peace and makes everyone happy to do this for her. Noah feels like unless he does something it doesn’t get done right and he basically carries everything on his shoulders. They both think they are happy with how their lives are going but it takes them being to get to realize they are only really happy when they are together because together they can be themselves, alone but together.
Noah is following Rudy’s will when he helps Brynn date. She has to date 6 men within 6 months and then go back to NYC happy and confident. Noah takes it upon himself to find her the dates and give the guys instructions on how the dates go. I loved that Brynn starts to subtly stand up for herself with Noah. She gets what she wants from him and Noah being Noah he can’t deny her. Besides Rudy telling him to take care of her (which he feels he must do) he is very attracted to her and doesn’t want to say no. Noah and Brynn are so hot for each other that I am surprised my kindle didn’t start smoking when I got to the hot sexy parts. The ending for these two was perfect and I was very happy. The epilogue to the story was absolutely perfect and just the cherry on top for this series.

[Quinn · Rating 3 out of 5]

I didn't realise I picked up the third instalment, but like most trashy romances, it works fairly well as a standalone.

I also didn't realise that there's a lot of male billionaire stories, so was surprised that our triplet sisters were the sugar mommas in this series, but found it refreshing (and about time!). Honestly, now that I've thought about it, there's maybe only a couple of stories I've read where our heroines are rich as Croesus.

Brynn's really sweet and awkward (and less clueless than she gives herself credit for), while Noah was clueless in his own way. The dialogues were quite fun and I do love their chemistry, as well as the relationships around them (with her sisters, her sisters partners, etc); I particularly enjoyed Noah's side story with Maggie (heartbreaking as it was).

I found the repetition of the sister's categorised behaviours extremely tiresome and ended up skipping over them every time it came up (it came up a lot).

While Noah's grand gesture was a little on the cheesy side (holding up traffic, even if the spectators found it entertaining seemed... a bit too indulgent), I thought this story was probably one of the sweetest I've read overall (or maybe I'm just bias because I love the friends-to-lovers trope haha).

Edit: Realised while reading Book 1 of this series last night that Nicholas really caught how much Rudy loved his daughters in that will wrap-up scene with Hank. I didn't know anything of anyone coming in hot to Book 3, but the sentiment was achingly sweet.

BLISSfully written...

Cashmere and Camo(Billionaires in Blue Jeans book 3) by Erin Nicholas

Wow! Erin Nicholas truly saved the best for last. Erin Nicholas can really write. She has a writing style I really enjoy. Erin never ceases to amaze me. Erin has a way of grabbing her readers from the first page and leaving them wanting more.

In Cashmere and Camo we finally get Brynn and Noah's story. Let me say I thought Brynn and Noah were just so adorable. Perfect for each other. On the outside you see the quiet scientist nerd yet on the inside you see a totally different Brynn. Noah is the hot mechanic and always takes care of other's kind of guy and way sexy. From the beginning you can see the chemistry between Noah and Brynn. While they are different I was surprised by how they had some similarities.

I must say Erin Nicholas did save the best for last. Noah and Brynn are my favorite couple. Erin had me captivated from the beginning. I fell in love with the town of Bliss. I really loved this story. I found myself laughing and having heart swooning moments. Two amazingly special people. I really found myself invested in Noah and Brynn's story. Erin got right to my heart with Brynn and Noah's story. This was the perfect ending to a fabulous series. I just wish this wasn't the end. If you haven't read an Erin Nicholas book then you are missing out. Grab your copy and fall in love with Noah and Brynn and the town of Bliss.

A sweet and lovely read, the perfect ending of this series.

So, this time it’s Brynn and Noah’s turn. We’ve heard of them in the previous books, so we know they are ‘friends’ and that he’s helping her come out of her shell.

I loved these two, Brynn was just so sweet and innocent, but not naïve, more like she wanted to discover this crazy world she didn’t understand much. It was such a fun ride to see how her mind worked.

Noah… I liked him, but didn’t love him as much as I wanted. I found him to be too possessive and at times like he smothered Brynn. I wanted to slap him more often than not, lol. He had huge hang ups, but he WAS a good guy, don’t get me wrong.

And I LOVED Brynn’s choice by the end of the book (not telling, of course) and it was just so sweet to see that she had more in common with her father than she thought. <3

Anyway, this was a fun story that also showed us a little bit of the other two couples and what comes after the year. It was a great addition to the series, and even though I had been waiting to hear Brynn’s story from the start of the series, I can’t deny that Ava and Cory hold a special place in my heart and I can’t decide who is my favorite. :-)

P.S: I know the series ends here with the three sisters, however I wouldn’t mind hearing from other characters in the future (*coughs* Mitch *coughs*). *Wink wink, nudge nudge*

*Thank you to the author for providing a copy for which I’m giving my honest opinion*

Blissful Conclusion

This is the final installment in the Billionaires in Blue Jeans trilogy. And it was worth the wait. All these books have been fulfilling, loving and charming. Bliss, Kansas is a enchanting little town where the rich Carmichael triplets have arrived to fulfill their late father's stipulations in his will, all of which take them out of their comfort zones. Add three Bliss men who were friends with the girl's father and are drawn to the triplets and you get quirky lifestyles, endearing characters and enticing romance. This last book of Noah and Brynn is captivating with two main characters who live to please others, but have not learned they must love themselves first. Noah is s former Marine and town mechanic watching out for Brynn, a shy, quiet brilliant scientist. The beauty of their friendship and growing (sexy) romance is how much each of them wants to please the other. The problem they have is recognizing the happiness they seek is with each other. This book is the most touching and heartfelt of the series. The others are funny, sweet and sexy with enjoyable heroes and charming stories. But Brynn and Noah's book is all that plus anguish, sincerity and want. They are a pair looking for respite from the hurt of their past and almost missing it with each other. Heartwarming series and This is a completely satisfying and heartwarming conclusion to a series i wish would continue, that would be Bliss.

My goodness! It took my quite a bit to finish this book!!

So ... admittedly I put it down for a few weeks ... It started getting "meh" on me around maybe 75% ... I stopped at 78%, just ... too annoyed.
But then Fedora suggested one of this author's OTHER series - so I was like "well what about THIS book?" but I figured I should just try to finish it considering how far I got, especially since I HAD been enjoying it...

And I did! The annoyingness was resolved. by like maybe 82%? The characters got a clue and got their heads out of their asses and it was working out so nicely - and yes Noah is a jackass a few times, actually - and it's mostly self sabotage...
But he has a grand gesture - but here's the thing; the way things play out I didn't even NEED a grand gesture/"grovel" from him! But he wanted to do it!
And it was super sweet.

And then the epilogue was nice too - though I don't know if I'll read the other characters/sisters books. I liked them well enough... but yikes this premise was the one that appealed to me most and we see how that happened.

So ... C maybe C+?


[I think I tweeted about this book back in April too but I'm too lazy to go look/it'd be too difficult ... but this is my tweet upon finishing the book https://twitter.com/Limecello/status/... ]
