Transcending Regrets, No Regrets book 3
Someone once told me to never live with regrets.
I tried.
In every piercing look, I saw the truth.
In every heartwarming smile, I found a friend.
With every kiss, I fell in love.
In every heartbreaking lie, I learned forgiveness.
In every shattering mistake, I achieved redemption.
With every moment of hate, I gained strength.
Every moment became a memory I will cherish forever.
But what if my one regret is being one second too late?

2 ⭐⭐ - Meh!
================
I downloaded the trilogy from Kindle Unlimited, but ended up mixing it up and read the last book first.
Good thing I did it and didn't waste my time. More of the same.
Heroine full of issues mixes with a hero full of issues and we have a recipe for drama and disaster.
She's not even all that to have so many guys loving her. And our hero looks more like a 12-year-old guy when he's upset. The two do not face problems or talk, simply run away and get lost in alcohol, drugs and sex.
Nothing I haven't read countless times.
Moving on to the next on my reading list.
My finger has been rotten lately and nothing pleases me.

I’m both happy and sad that that emotional rollercoaster is over.
All the angst.
All the crying.
All the heartbreak.

4 1/2 Stars!!
Transcending Regrets is book three in the No Regrets series. It can not be read as a standalone, you must read the first two before starting this one. The first two book had provided a lot of up and down for Oliver and Abby and for this one I certainly expected more of a roller coaster of ups and downs. Oliver and Abby definitely did not disappoint with the ups and downs. Both really supply times where you just want to jump through the pages and shake some sense into them. This one hooked me from the beginning and I didn't want to put it down. I was so rooting for a happy ending.

Going in wasn't sure who would end up getting that elusive happily-ever-after. I had my heart set on childhood best friends going the distance. But Abby wasn't making it easy this time around. The girl made me want to strangle her at times.
One word -- COMMUNICATIONS! And when you do decide to communicate choose your words carefully -- because words can hurt -- unnecessarily so at oftentimes.
Some surprise drama surfaced making this one take on some real chills and thrills. And, Abby irritated the heck out of me with her male "groupies" and how whiny and needy she always appeared. I didn't much like Abbygail throughout a large part of this segment. Don't get me wrong -- Oliver wasn't a saint. There were times that I found myself cheering for Tyler! Poor guy deserved a HEA of his own, that's for sure!
And even though Damien wasn't one of my favorite for some really good reasons, my heart broke for him.
A great Epilogue to end the terrific series with a peek 15 years into the future of the happily-ever-after!

This review Is for all Three books in the No Regrets Series by Aimee Noalane
When I started this series I had never read anything by this author, so I went and read some of the reviews and I was excited to see the high ratings. Not sure about anyone else, but for me I like to read the reviews sometime beforehand, just because I need to know If the FMC is some what strong or I just can’t move forward. I didn’t see anything about doormat, weak or even pathetic heroine, so I was like
“ let’s do this”
Book One ~ 4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
When I started No regrets I was automatically drawn in by Aimee Noalane writing style.
Abby and Oliver story starts when they’re eight years old and are best friends, and from there is how their love story begins. My emotions were all over the place while reading this book. Frustration being number one Emotion….Yes both characters were frustrating, immature and had a whole lotta drama going on, but what teenager life isn’t at that age. I personally think Aimee did a wonderful job showing us their maturity level in this book. This definitely had an NA/YA feel to it. It suck me in that’s for sure, making me want more…
There were a few things that didn’t make sense tho in this book to me. For instance why they had recess in high school or shared lockers? Why didn’t Oliver or Abby call or text each other throughout the years? and why did it feel like Abby was doing all of the work in there friendship?
Other than that I really didn’t have too many complaints about this book and enjoyed it Very much.
Book Two ~ 3.5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
So moving on to book 2 Living With Regrets. I did not like this book as much as book 1 and before I give you my reasons, let me tell you this first, I can handle ow/om drama as long as it’s both sided. Aimee did do this, however, she gave us explicit details with Olivers ow then she did with Abbys om and when I say explicit details I’m talking about Sex….lol
For instance there is a chapter where Oliver and ow are outside doing the nasty, which I normally don’t have Issues with, but……not only was Abby there at the club with him, but she was also in town visiting Oliver when he did what he did and technically they weren’t a couple, but come on… they’ve been in love with each other for years and for him to do what he did while she was there just wasn’t cool, and was disrespectful in every-way, but that was Oliver m.o. when he got angry with Abby he’d jump in bed with another women.
Ok cool… I’m good with getting the explicit details on that incident, but what I’m not cool with was we didn’t even get the explicit details when Abby lost her virginity by Damian in the first book!
If you’re going to give us details on the H sex scenes then please do the same for the h… plus I didn’t like the fact Abby was so forgiving with what happened….yea…nope, sorry….I think anyone in their right mind would not get over that so easily or justify that being OK..
This book was more frustrating than the first book, because now they are 23 years of age, but there both still acting as if they are 16. I really didn’t see any character growth in this book and that to me is disappointing, maybe Oliver a little bit, but definitely not Abby, she was still immature in so many ways.. If you are going to add years to a story then you better give your readers some growth with there age and there just wasn’t any In this book.
The Back-and-forth was beyond nerve-racking and starting to annoyed me. I lost count on how many times I wanted to slap Abby, heck I could’ve slapped Oliver many times too. His alpha attitude/cowardice gave me whiplash.
There was just so many things In this book that were unrealistic to me. Including the time where Abby gets attacked. It was a little far-fetched or how Oliver and Abby both became best friends with other people that again were the opposite sex..really? And For the love of God how many best friends does Abby have? 🙄 Eye roll
I’m sorry I thought this story supposed to be about Abby and Oliver being best friends?
If I never hear best friend again, it will not be soon enough. That word was so abuse in this series..
And seriously what kind of friend was Stephen to Oliver anyway? Technically him and Oliver were best friends first, but some how when Oliver asked him to look after Abby when he moved, Stephens loyalty to Oliver went out the window.. Not even sure how that would even happen to begin with… again 🙄 eye roll…
However, this book did started getting a little more spicier between Abby and Oliver, showing us the chemistry between them both. I loved flirting between both of them. It was steamy and hot!
Plus the author gave her readers some lite humor in this book, which was a good change from the first book. It still was emotional and full of angst, but some chapters had some fun banters going on in them which I enjoyed.
Book Three ~ 3 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Lastly book 3 Transcending Regrets… which was probably my least book I liked. So I’ll make this quick…
Why? Because I had so many doubts and questions in this book and I just didn’t feel I got the answers to them or the outcome I was looking for. One being…Abby finding out she was pregnant. I kinda felt like they only reason Oliver and her ended up together was because she was pregnant. I would’ve like to see Oliver and Abby get together not because of an unplanned pregnancy. I wanted to see Oliver and Abby work on their issues without adding a baby to the mix. I’m not a huge fan of the h getting pregnant In stories like these, especially when they’re young. I feel the author could’ve went in a different direction with this story without Abby getting pregnant. I mean come on first time they have sex and on birth control she gets pregnant. That’s original! Eye roll 🙄
Anyhow, Did Abby love Damian at one point? because I definitely got that Vibe she did, but I also was getting weird vibes on how she felt for Tyler and Stephen too…like why was she getting jealous feelings? 🤨
Plus at this point in the series the back-and-forth was getting old. It was just the same ole same ole in every Chapter…Abby never grew up in my opinion. They both were cowards when It came to telling the truth on how they felt about each other. Oliver still gave up so easily on their relationship.. so much that he was leaving her again in the last chapter, but something happen for him to turn around and head back. Oliver never did any groveling in my opinion it was always Abby. And the most disappointing part of this book was, when Abby finally ended up saying “ I Love You” to Oliver it was in a ridiculous situation…again more eye rolling 🙄
So needless to say this book just didn’t deliver for me.
Positive things I liked tho…..
I loved how strong Abby was.
Oliver was sexy as sin.
The flirting between Oliver and Abby was smokin hot
Oliver and Abby love story was beautiful
I enjoyed the other characters

Oh my GOSH!!! I'm losing my mind over here that this beloved series has come to an end. When I started the series, I truly had no idea what I was in for.
The angst.
The heartbreak.
The longing.
The book ripping my heart out, then stiching it back together.
Everything that this series puts your through, is BEYOND worth it, and I would happily go through it all again, just to get to the HEA that this book brings us.
Oliver and Abby are truly endgame. Their love for each other is so beautiful, I was highlighting the HECK out of this book. The way they feel about each other is obvious, but after everything that they both have put each other through, they're both hesitant to give in to each other and confess their feelings, especially Abby.
This is definitely a series that I am going to be re-reading in the near future! I can't go without Abby and Oliver for long :)

The first two books made us work, 3 is absolutely no different. At any given moment, I had no idea if what the end result would be, only that it was the last book. A million different outcomes blew through my mind because I went into this blind, so I wasn't even leaning towards a resolution because of how these two had completely exhausted every one of my emotions so far. I cried, I admit it. This was a hard read, even after all they went through, they just kept going at it. I'll also admit I was slightly exhausted by the end, but all in all, it made me smile so hard!! Such a great way to lose a few days!!

I have loved this series, and have been waiting not for patiently to this final book. This author has done a brilliant job and us two characters, Abby and Oliver who i have loved and yet i've also seriously disliked them both at different stages. In the first book i wanted to slap Oliver, the second Abby and Oliver both and this third book i really wanted to slap Abby !! Now this is not a complaint, for me, the author has really laid my emotions out to get all these feels out of me!
So they have both made mistakes, now in this third book Oliver is back and this time he is determined it's forever and he and Abby will get their happy ending. So i went into this book feeling unsure if they would end up together.
I pretty much liked Oliver in this book, my difficulties were more with Abby, yes she's been through heartache. Neither of them are good at communicating with each other and seem hell bent on causing hurt. Abby seemed, in some ways to thrive on the drama, and at times i felt she was quite immature an self centered. She appears at times to be so unsure because she seems to still hold strong feelings for both Damien and Taylor. Then again Oliver did have the same faults. Neither of them seemed to have much compromise. Yes Abby irritated me, but thats because the writing was so good!! Although i did feel she really needed to grow up. So i went into the book with mixed feelings and i devoured it from beginning to end, taking little breathers to keep my emotions in check and i ended the book feeling the same way. Aimee Noalane really digs deep to get hold of your emotions and she sure doesn't let go. Even now days later i'm still unsure if this couple should be together and have thoughts of Taylor, and how Abby always seems to rely on him for so much more than a friendship. So thank you Aimee !! lol Abby and Oliver are still in my head !! Great Series and Great Ending!
I cannot wait for what is going to come next from this Author !! Exciting times!

*sigh and cry*
It's with a heavy heart I write this review because I never wanted this story to end.
No matter what I say right now, I will NEVER be able to tell you enough to do this book (series) justice.
This series has taken me on a journey I never want to forget. One I wish I could relive a thousand times over, feel with everything in me a hundred times more.
Abby and Oliver.
God. Damn.
Talk about tortured souls.
We have watched these two battle against themselves and each other over and over again. We were with them as they made mistakes and felt their regrets, learned along side them the pain that can come from the fear of putting yourself out there.
These two impossible souls show us that through pain and loss and uncertainty, love and friendship CAN survive if we fight and push and allow ourselves to be vulnerable.
Determined as all hell, Oliver takes charge and steps right into to Abby, forcing her to feel him and everything he is. But her fears run deep and self preservation is a nasty little bitch.
Once again, our hearts get ripped out and panic takes over your body as you fell it all unfold.
I am absolutely in love with the way this story played out. My favorite part is how everything is cleared up so beautifully. You get a piece of each characters and learn who and what they are and were or will be to Abby. Stephan is amazing, Damien is...can't say, it'll spoil (lol- just wait!) and Tyler...oh my shit TY-LER!!!! Yeees!!!!
Expect the unexpected. Be ready for the happy and the hurt.
READ THIS SERIES!!!!

I read this entire series over the course of two days!! I could not stop. It fed my need for angst, passion, drama and emotional suspense. I loved the characters and their story. I loved the full circle that their journey took them on and the personal growth they made. Love this series so much.

Okay, In Book one I loved Abby and Oliver. Book two, I started to kind of dislike Abby a little. Book 3- I officially don't like her.
Abby is really immature and childish. She acts like a bratty teenager that didn't get her way. She lashes out with the sole aim of hurting people. Her weapon of choice- sleeping around. I thought maybe she might have grown up a bit when Oliver came back into her life, but alas- no.
Oliver seems like he has it all together but when it comes to Abby he's just as immature. He lashes out to hurt her.
I don't get these two. They know they love each other yet they constantly try to out-hurt each other. Almost like their sole goal is to inflict as much emotional pain on each other as possible, just so they don't have to say how much they love each other. It gets old very fast.
This is the first time ever that I actually wish they MC's don't end up together. They aren't good for each other and if they finally ever got their shit sorted, it wouldn't last. These two thrive on drama.
I really liked this series until this book. But hey, not everyone has to like every book.

If it were possible to do so I would be giving this book 10*!!!
After the first two books in the series I fully expected this book to take a lot from me but holy shit I did not expect it to destroy me like it did. And I did not expect to be so happy at how destroyed it left me.
I was more than a little nervous at reading this book - ok so I was fucking petrified - because I knew after the first two books that Aimee Noalane would not hesitate to turn around and tear out your heart. And I was right to be nervous as this book was everything I could have hoped for and so much more!!!
"Sometimes because of love we make stupid decisions. Sometimes we love s much that it consumes every single bit of our soul. Sometimes love breaks us, and it shatters our ability to forgive. And sometimes we realize that love will never be enough to fix our mistakes, and that maybe it's just better if we let go."
The book follows on from where the previous one ended but also quickly skips forward a few months. Still on the outs from each other, and showing no signs of talking to each other any time soon, Abby is doing everything she can to keep a secret from Oliver - a secret that she know she really should be keeping.
Having moved back to the area a month previously, Oliver is yet to decide on how he is planning to make his presence known to Abby, despite still being angry with her for leaving. It isn't long before the decision is taken out of his hands when he is sent to Carrington High by his boss to, unknowingly, take over the running of a class Abby hosts.
Her secret is very quickly discovered and puts them on a path that will either lead to mutual destruction or lead to them finally putting their past behind them and moving forward with their lives.
"'Maybe you should stop trying to fight it, and start claiming the things that you say you own, Oliver Langton.'"
Half way through the book the feeling of terror returned. They had both apparently resolved their differences and were finally on track to the lives they should have always had. But clearly, Aimee wasn't done with toying with our emotions. Because it had to be coming. No book has such a resolved and happy ending half way through the final book.
"Of course I missed you. I miss you every moment we aren't together, Oliver."
Past mistakes and previous regrets soon catch up to them until it reaches the climax. And holy shit what a way to keep us readers on the edge of our seats. A heated confrontation that quickly turns violent. You knew what was coming - you could see it a mile away and yet couldn't do anything to stop it.
Before I even got to what I was dreading I had to put the book down due to the tears I had streaming down my face. Because surely, after all they had been through together, Aimee couldn't be about to do what I thought she was about to do.
I wanted to shout and scream, rage at everything, and all of this was still before I read THAT section. IT was like I thought by not reading it, it wouldn't happen. And yet, at the same time, I couldn't stop myself from continuing - I just made sure I was fully stocked with wine and tissues.
And despite seeing it coming it still felt like my heart had been dragged through a blender - twice.
"'You. I was waiting for you, and you never came."
This book will have you in tears from pretty much the first page, and mostly every page from then on. But this needs to be put to the top of your TBR piles because this has to be one of the best books I have read in a long time. The previous two were great and I really didn't think they could get any better and yet somehow this blows the other two well out of the water. Even now, after finishing the book and having started a new one, I cannot stop thinking about the beautifully imperfectly perfect story of Oliver Langton and Abbygail Evens.

This series........WOW........what a rollercoaster of emotions - I had my heart ripped out and put back together again on more than one occasion!
I've been desperate for this last book in the trilogy since reading the first two phenomenal books at the end of last year.
Let me tell you, it did not disappoint! It's not been an easy ride, it's not all sugary sweet and fluffy but then again, I didn't expect it to be. Aimee Noalane writes characters that are complex and so well developed, characters that you will care about and fall in love with. Characters that will have your heart breaking for them and characters that will have you rooting for them. Even the secondary characters were loveable and I really felt for some of them - I hope that there will be spin-off books....I would love to read both Tyler and Damian's stories at the very least.
I loved that this book had even more drama, more suspense and was 'edge-of-your-seat' gripping at times. One minute I wanted to hug Abby and Oliver, then I wanted to shake them and at times I even wanted to bang their stubborn heads together. There were a few plot twists that made for a fantastic storyline and had me turning the pages desperate to know where it was going.
This was a fantastic conclusion to an amazing series. If this is Aimee Noalane's debut, I can't wait to see what else she brings us! Definitely one of my new one-click authors!

Finally Abby and Oliver’s story is complete! That sounds like I was waiting forever but it was more needing to know how their story ended and I was constantly surprised. So no guessing games about what could happen. Because there is NO way I would have predicted it.
You must read the books in order. Each book builds upon the previous. And you won’t understand what is going on if you skim or skip ahead or even just forgo reading each of the 3 books. This story just grabs you from the second it starts until the very end. You get invested in these characters and their stories until you feel like they’re friends of yours.
To borrow a line from Veronica Mars: their “story is epic. Spanning decades and continents. Lives lost, blood shed” That might not be an exact quote but it’s close. Oliver and Abby’s story definitely defines that quote. They’ve loved each other as kids and did as adults.
An amazing read that I think everyone should read! And I’d LOVE if it all became a box set…. Hint hint….

This book is part of a beautiful series, I've read book 1 and was able to pick up from that although definitely want to read book 2 but was able to read book 3 with enough knowledge and understanding events that have taken place.
It'll have you laughing, crying, cheering and disbelieving all at the same time. Get your tissues ready!
We find Abbygail and Oliver trying to pieces themselves back together after a really emotional past....and it continues to be the roller coaster that you expect from them.
But with an added expectation.....their determination to make the best out of a bad situation fills you with hope and frustration all at the same time.
The Secondary characters continue to be really interesting and are well developed, Damian always has such intrigue about him.
The author has given the readers a great series for her debut books and I'd more than happily read her future work.
I read this book as an ARC for 2 girls who love books blog in return for an honest review.

Again, book 3 picks up right where book 2 left off. So at the end of book 2, I wasn't so happy with Abby or Oliver...who still haven't gotten their shit together yet!! I said in my review for book 1 that Abby is a little immature and she still is, but she grows on you. There were some choices she made in this book that I didn't agree with(and didn't agree with her friends decisions on this either), but she does eventually explain her decisions. I was so happy that we got to see more of the other characters in this book and again more of what transpired in the six years of Abby and Oliver being apart. It really and truly is a great love story for these two! Oliver Langton is definitely a forever book boyfriend!!! Go check this series out!!! Amazing!

I absolutely fell in love with this series by Aimee Noalane and have been avidly hanging out for the third book to be published. It definitely does not disappoint, building upon the amazing characters and their beautifully complex relationships. One thing that I love about these books is that while Abbygail and Oliver control the story the surrounding characters still have so much depth and heart given to them. The feelings and heartbreak experienced by the characters transmits straight off the page, a.k.a stock up on tissues.
The No Regrets series has been a pleasure to read, thank you Aimee for sharing your amazing story with us all

I have been waiting for this, for what seems like forever! Finally the conclusion to Oliver and Abby’s life long love-hate-love relationship. These two frustrated the hell out of me with their push and pull, but I absolutely adored these two and found myself rooting for them from the very beginning. If there were ever two people belonged together, it is Oliver and Abby. I hoped and prayed that they would find their way back to each other, but fate and their stubborn ways wasn’t going to make it that easy!
While the main focus is on Abby and Oliver, I love how Aimee incorporates their close friends. She shows the impact of Abby and Oliver’s decisions have on their friends and how their friends rally around them and attempt to make them see what they all know to be what should be.
Each and every character that had a role in their past are accounted for, you get a quick glimpse at their lives and how all their lives intersect…all paths leading to the idea that everything happens for a reason and every person is in your life one reason or another…either a lesson or a blessing.
Aimee definitely can pack a punch to the feelings, so you are warned! Aimee Noalane (No Regrets Series) = Multiple tissue boxes, oh! and don't forget the wine!! I absolutely loved this series and the conclusion to it was worth every second of that agonizing wait! Highly recommend this series, no doubt about it!!

You know when a book just grabs you by the throat and holds you? Then leaves you for days with the biggest hangover ever? It really makes you think not just about you but about everything in life, every choice you made, every word you said? Yeah, I'm like 3 days after this book and still all I can think about is how this series has touched me and how much I fucking LOVED the hell out of it!!! It has ruined me. I’m struggling to read anything else at this point, I can't think or focus on anything else. I'm in a fog with everything and these characters just keep playing like a movie over and over!! This series Is MOST Definitely going in my top 10 of 2017 for UGLY CRIES!!! What an amazing series for a debut author I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you Aimee!!!

Transcending Regrets
No! I don't want this to be over! I've been so lost in Oliver and Abby's story that I don't know what I'll do with myself now. This can't even be real life! Abby and Oliver have a love that persevered through all the things thrown at it.. and while their stubbornness drove me absolutely crazy, this series wouldn't have held my interest without all of the madness.
Side note: I think as much as I love Oliver, Stephan, and Tyler... I really love Damian. I know. Shocked the heck out of me too!

The Finale
Ahhhh!!! What a conclusion to this series.
If you haven’t read the first tow books YOU MUST READ THEM FIRST!
This is a masterpiece of life and love. It’s so realistic and so easy to put yourself in their places.
The pain is palpable and the joy is overwhelming. You’re gonna cry, you’re gonna get so angry that you could scream and then you’ll melt.
This author takes your heart through so much that you’ll have trouble breathing and focusing on anything but this epic story. I have completely ignored EVERYTHING as I read this series.
I will read this again from start to finish. Once is NOT enough.
I found a new author and I plan to devour all of her books!!

well I hate that the series is over, but it was a phenomenal ending. I've never loved and hated characters more than these two. I wanted to hold them tight one minute and bash their heads together the next. never have I read a series that has made me reflect on my own memories. I have thought about my younger years and wondered if I had done things differently how it would turn out. Now after this series I realize that things happened that way for a reason. I can't wait to read everything else this author writes. she's brilliant

The final installment in the series. I have been waiting for this book because I love the characters and the series. So much angst and so much love intertwined. Sometimes I wanted to throat punch Abby and Oliver and other times just swoon. I was so worried that the ending would be yanked out from under me because the author loves twists and turn, but I was not disappointed and I loved the ending with all the twists and turns. There will be no book throwing today, but a little sadness that it's over.

The emotional and heart wrenching conclusion to this series.
What I enjoyed most about this read is that the writing was brilliantly executed and real. The author created characters that were so well developed, I developed my own feelings about them.
After all this time, with this book, I honestly loved and hated Abby and Oliver.
I felt their struggles and their frustrations, and I appreciated getting the unexpected!
4.5 stars!
