4.5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ In this entire book, there was one thing that annoyed me the most so I’m just going to get it out of the way first. I honestly liked Gwen’s fiancé Anthony.
He may have said some thoughtless things about her rich friends/family(he’s only human) and might have been a little heavy-handed when it came to her friendship with Reilly but….Who Wouldn’t! Reilly would intimidate even the most confident of men. Anthony was in love with Gwen and he had every reason to be weary of Reilly. Men always know if someone else is interested in their significant other, it’s a known fact that they have a radar 🚨. So I truly believe that he was a really sweet guy but Gwen’s choices put him between a rock and a hard place. And naturally he was threatened by her and Reilly’s relationship🤷🏽♀️ However, I’m glad the author didn’t turn him into a jerk for the sake of getting Reilly and Gwen together. Rather, Anthony & Gwen’s relationship ended as one would expect, considering the circumstances.
That minor problem aside, I would be a liar if I said I wanted Gwen to end up with anyone but Reilly. He has always been my favorite character of the series. He’s big, strong and stern but has a kind and tender heart when it comes to those he loves. He also loved to tease them which was always enjoyable. Reilly endured so much for so long that there was no one more deserving of true love than him. When he realized that his time left with Gwen was limited, he moved mountains to be with her and I loved how hard he worked to woo her and show how he truly felt about her.
Gwen, although she did treat Anthony unfairly, was an great character. Aside from being stubborn, she was bold, witty, funny and a great friend to Ellie. I loved her banters with Ry. Their chemistry was off the charts. They also had a great friendship and I enjoyed seeing her fall even more in love with Reilly. Seeing Reilly struggle with a burden he carried around for so long, unable to get any relief just broke my heart but I’m so happy he finally got his HEA. Thoroughly enjoyed this one.
