Flipping heck!! Lindsey nailed it with this final instalment. There aren’t enough stars for this, it’s worth all the stars. There was angst by the bucket load, so much heart ache & love. The character development was just perfection. What can I say? This is a must read for 2019. Lindsey, you broke my heart then put it back together again with your beautiful words. I’m speechless. Read this book people!!! You’ll love it. 😍

In the final book of the series we find out that Charlie did see what she thought she saw. She is not losing her mind, but she may lose the family she has created with Trace and Amelia.
Charlies past has come back and it has come back like a freight train. While Charlie deals with her past and the turmoil it is causing, she feels Trace slipping away.
Trace understands the situation Charlie is in and he feels for her, but he is also hurt by what it is doing to the life they were creating together. Trace makes some brash decisions causing Charlie’s fear of him slipping away intensify.
There is a lot of confusion for all concerned. Everyone is hurt and angry and at a complete loss of how to solve the issues that have arisen.
This book is about finding forgiveness and listening to your heart. I think Ms. Powell wrapped up this series extremely well. 💜

Charlie and Luke have been a couple since high school. And they have just moved together.
They are blissfully happy. So, imagine Charlie's shock when she finds out that Luke has been hiding something from her. And what's more, he doesn't want to tell her the truth! Because he wants to protect her! The nerve...
And that's the book. Charlie hesitates throughout all the book because she wants to believe Luke. But she can't.
The plot is OK. And I would like to know what will happen next. Because the final chapters were slightly better. But I think Charlie is weak. And all her doubts annoyed me. Sorry

“I am ready to hurt again.” Those were my exact words when I saw the author had finished book three. The emotional finale of this series really pulls at your heartstrings. Charlie struggles with everything that’s happened. How does one make the right choice when it comes to love? This touching story will have you all in your feels. You will cry. You will smile. Oh how I hurt but it was so worth it! The author did an amazing job with creating characters that you become attached to and writing such wonderful stories that are filled with emotional and sexual heat. Oh how I hurt but it was so worth it! I give this 5 stars.

Part of Us was a brilliant conclusion to the story. After the HUGE cliffhanger from the second book, I needed to know what was going to happen next.
The book was intense and emotional, for all characters. I felt for them all, more for some than others, but it was intense. My heart felt for Charlie and what she went through. I would never wish anybody to go through what she did.
Personally, I think Charlie made the right choice and followed her heart. The ending made my heart soar and I was so happy for Charlie!
I do hope to see more of the other characters in the future, they have intrigued me enough to want to know more about them, especially Leah.
Over the course of the series, I have fallen in love with the story and with the characters. The author has done such an incredible job, and have become a quick fan of hers. I cannot wait to see what we get next! Brilliant!

An angsty ride of secrets, betrayal, and fighting for who you really love
Do we ever really stop loving someone? That’s the crux of Charlie’s conundrum when Luke, the fiancé she’d believed dead, suddenly returns, wanting to pick back up their life together. But there’s a hunky-man-shaped problem with that, and his name is Trace Johnson — the man who finally got Charlie to open herself back up to love after years of mourning Luke. But Charlie has a child with Luke, and has loved him for years, not just the months she’s known Trace. So what’s a girl to do? In an angsty ride of secrets, betrayal, and who you really love, Charlie will find the answer to that question. But will she figure it out in time to avoid losing one, or both of them? You’ll just have to read to find out in this emotional conclusion to the Part of Me Series. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.

What a crazy, angsty, anxiety inducing ride these 3 books were! And I'm so glad I read them.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Part of Us will take you in an angsty emotional ride. As heartbreaking as it was heartwarming I just couldn’t put it down.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have to admit at the end of Part of Us I was torn between Team Trace and Team Luke, even though I fell for one character more than the other. I was SO HAPPY with how it all ended up for Charlie, though. I am happy to say that whereas my heart was broken, it was also put back together. And I’m so so happy about the ending.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
An amazing story, characters that pull on your heart strings, and the most perfect conclusion is what you will get with this book.

The conclusion to this story couldn't be any better. Congratulations to the author for creating this masterpiece. This story has ALL the feels. After the jaw-dropping cliffy in book two, I was curious to see how the story would unfold.
Although I liked Luke in book, I feel in live with Trace in book two and was rooting for them.
He was there to pickup the broken pieces of Charlie that Luke left behind (and I can't go into specifics without spoiling the plot). I appreciated how patient and caring he was. The ultimate book-boyfriend.
But a part of me wishes a happily ever after for Luke. He still has a place in my heart.
I loved this books and the author is certainly talented just bare in mind that she will wreck your heart with this story!

Part of Us is the third book of an amazing series by an excellent author. This book was a great conclusion to the Part of me series. It had everything you could want; angst, characters coming back, a love triangle, heartbreaking decisions needing to be made. I mean, Luke, a man she thinks is dead suddenly reappears into her life and now she has to decide between Trace and him. The ending leaves you absolutely speechless. I loved this book and if you’ve read the other two in the series, you’ll love it too because is freaking AMAZING.
I just discover Lindsey this year and I’m so happy because now she’s one of my favorite Author. ❤️

Holy hell.
What a rollercoaster of emotions this book was. From the beginning i wasn't sure where Queen Lindsey was going to take us in this epic finale but she smashed it. Completely.
Ugh, Trace. I loved him. Luke, i liked but was never quite sure on him.
But man, the chemistry between both of the men and Charlie was fire. Charlie was a strong and independent woman who didn't want to show her weaker side when she needed to be strong for her family. She is a queen.
I loved this trilogy so much, I am so sad it is over but so glad i got to read it.

Oh what an ending to an amazing series!
You are in for a treat! An emotional and heartwrecking treat filled with love and so much more! I've spent these past hours reading it, it took me around 2.5 hours of nonstop reading, and now I need at least 1 week of recovery!
Luke and Charlie, Trace and Charlie. Three books. Every god damn emotion running wild in my head right now.
Lindsey, you have once again outdone your self. And I keep saying that, but it's the truth everytime!

What a fantastic conclusion to this book series, every page brimmed with emotion. l could feel the heartache, passion, love and longing as Charlie battled to find where her heart truly belonged. I was right there with her, and Trace, and Luke. I knew who I was rooting for, and in my opinion, Charlie made the perfect choice. Well written, engaging and steamy, this book didn’t disappoint. One of my favourite series from one of my favourite authors.

I've got so many emotions rolling round inside me right now and i can't even pin point what they all are.
You have the obvious Love, happiness and sadness but there are so many more i can't even explain.
This book ripped my heart out and made it start beating all over again.
The whole time i was reading this book i never knew what to feel, i was happy and heartbroken all at the same time which makes absolutely no sense but hey you can't help the way you feel.
Don't you just love books that evoke all these feelings out of you because you just know if your feeling this then the author went through some turmoil writing it.
I honestly couldn't get enough of this book, any spare minute i had i was reading, i couldn't stay away from these characters.
Absolutely amazing and a beautiful end to a beautiful series.
I'm now going to ask for my heart back from Lindsey.
❤

Oh. My. Freaking. Goodness. Part of Us was the perfect conclusion to this well-written, addictive, sexy as hell and heart-wrenching series. The amount of tension in this book drove me wild. There was some definite screaming in frustration during the reading of this one. I was on the edge of my seat with every page turned, pleading with Charlie to make the right decision. Trace. Lordy, Trace is the ultimate book boyfriend. But we got to see another side to him which I loved. The rampant jealousy and uncertainty he felt gripped my heart. And he got a little dark there for a bit which made for some very sexy scenes. I’ve read all of Lindsey’s books. I’m such a fan. But I think this is my favorite. I couldn’t put it down. I think I read it in a day and a half. It consumed me. I felt a little like Trace. I HAD to know the end game. I was going insane. And holy mother, all the frustrated growls and tears shed were most definitely worth it. I’m totally in love with this series and I’m not ready to let go!

After book two's cliffhanger, I could not wait to dig into this one. I was not disappointed. Part of Us opens with Charlie reeling from finding out that her first love Luke is still alive. A tiny piece of me hoped this was the case but an even bigger piece of me hated him for coming back when Charlie was finally healing. I spent most of the book furious with what was unfolding and read it in just a few sittings.
All of the turmoil was worth it. Your first love is special for so many reasons. It helps you grow into the person you are meant to be and will always hold a special place in your heart. But does that mean it's your forever love?
Excuse me while I immediately download and devour the rest of the Perfect series. I got a tiny spoiler from Part of Us and need some closure!

Wow! What a conclusion to this final book series. I have been on the edge of my seat from the moment I turned the first pages, this story was intense, heart wrenching and everything in between, how Lindsey moulded the story together from the bombshell of his return (trying not to add spoilers lol) was brilliant, and how all of the characters dealt with the aftermath let me tell you i shed a tear or two! Charlie, Luke & Trace. What an epic story you won't want to miss! ❤
December 27, 2019
Lindsey completed me with this book yet kept me guessing throughout the whole book. One minute i was rooting for Luke, but more so for Charlie's sake, but deep down i loved Trace. I loved him from the moment i read about him.
Lindsey takes you on a complete emotional rollercoaster, but it is such a wonderful rollercoaster to be taken on. Lindsey, i loved this book. Book three was definitely my favourite <3

Part of Us is the perfect ending to the series! So much emotion is packed in this book. It's a perfect mix of angst, heartache, anger, and love. I love that the author told it from Charlie's, Trace's, and Luke's POV. The ending is perfection! #teamtrace 😍 I am hoping with they we will get Luke's HEA?? 😁 Thank you, Lindsey, for pouring everything into this series! I loved it!!

This series did suck me in. However, I am not a fan of love triangles. At all. 😏

Team Trace!
The personality of Trace was a bit weaker than book 3, luckily, Amelia man him up LOL
For me, this love triangle just like Luke (child) vs Trace (adult)..
Although Luke was selfish and had his reasons hided for two years, I hope there will be a book 4 about him!
