Havenwood #4
Griff's Place
GRIFFIN
I always felt I wasn’t wired like my peers, but when my brother, Kellan, gave me three terms—ace, aromantic, and demi—I had possible names for it. Those three words have been on my mind ever since, as has my brother’s best friend, Josh Westbrook. It’s been cool getting to know him and spending time together, just us. He makes me feel something I never thought I’d be able to feel. When we end up alone in a cabin with only one bed, all my crossed wires finally connect and point toward being demi and wanting him.
JOSH
Griff and I were never supposed to be more than friends, but I like him more and more. I like being the reason he smiles, and…yeah, I enjoy making him writhe with pleasure too. But Griff doesn’t hook up casually, and I swore off love a long time ago. Still, we keep finding ourselves drawn together, a shared loneliness and a deep want guiding us. Kellan’s afraid I’ll hurt Griff. Frankly, I am too. My past is still an open wound that keeps me from getting too close.
One thing is becoming clear, though—my Grumpy Griff is making me break my own rules. He says he’s never known his place in the world, but I do. It’s with me. The only way for us to move forward is for me to stop looking back…before I lose sight of him for good.

I really enjoyed the first part of the story. I loved Griffin's character. He is the reason I wanted to read this book and he didn't disappoint. I found him very relatable in some ways. I liked Josh, too - most of the time. I think they were great together and I enjoyed seeing their relationship develop. Sometimes there was more telling than showing, but I didn't mind it here.
There were some things in the second part of the story that I overall don't enjoy:
Other than that, I think this was a lovely story. I haven't read any of the previous books in the series, but I did read all the blurbs and my friends' reviews, so I knew enough about the rest of the characters and their stories.

As the fourth and final book in Hart’s contemporary small-town Havenwood series, Griff’s Place had a lot of personal expectations to live up to. Thankfully, the story succeeded in going above and beyond, bringing the final couple of Griff and Josh together in pitch-perfect fashion and setting the most wonderful of happy endings for all the much-loved characters of the series.
Griffin Caine has been my favourite character of the series since its inception. As a big brother to Kellan, and a confidante, protector and unwavering supporter to all of their joint friends, Griff always seemed to be the quietest, most thoughtful man of the bunch. My heart went out to him, as he battled with a lifetime of feeling different because of his past disinterest towards sex. I loved that the ace spectrum was represented so positively and openly here, with Griff feeling he related most to the definition of demisexuality, especially once he fell so hard for his brother’s long-time best-friend Josh.
For the most part, Josh has been the playboy character of the series; always being the cheekiest, flirtiest of the group, and making it known to all that he only does hook-ups and never relationships. Although Josh was a lot of fun as a support character in previous books, I’ll admit I was a bit worried about how everything would play out once he became entangled with our sweet and gentle Griff. Not surprisingly, Hart wrote Josh a deliciously heartfelt and heartbreaking backstory—one that had me bawling my eyes out before long—which only added to his appeal, making him a much more relatable and layered character than he first appeared. It also helped that his adoration of his dear Griffy was undeniable, making these two quite the dreamy and memorable pair, once all was said and done.
For me, this whole series was easy reading. There wasn’t a single character I didn’t love or root for and the story-lines, although not particularly complex or groundbreaking, were always full of heart, humour and passion. The romances were fantastic but the friendships were even better. This was an ensemble series, through and through, and I for one can’t wait to revisit the Havenwood men later down the road, because I have no doubt these books will stay favourites of mine for a long time to come.

2.5 it's me not the book stars.
I had different expectations for Griff's story, this was not it. I blame it on me.
This is not the Griff I fell in love with in book 1. I pushed on because I like him so much. His story was so boring. Ugh!
There was too much telling and not showing. I love when other couples show up in books but here I felt like they were stealing my Griff's show, constantly telling him how they all see his connection with Josh. Geez! Let him figure this shit out.
I still don't know where I stand with Josh. Maybe I like him, maybe he is just there. His backstory was so cliché and unbelievable. Don't get me started on his dirty talk. Cringe galore.
Overall, this was all on my expectations and sometimes shit happens.
Edited to add: It's 2020 we can retire the 'one bed' thing now, social distancing and all that jazz.

This last, I presume based on the all-encompassing epilogue, Havenwood book turned out to be my favorite in the series. I was so looking forward to this story, and Griff and Josh did not disappoint!
I strongly suggest NOT reading this one as a standalone, as both MCs play large supporting roles in the other books, and we can see their relationship coming like a hurricane.
Griff owns a bar and is great with his customers but reserved and a little bit grumpy, at least when flirty Josh comes round. Josh loves to tease Griff and call him Grumpy G. Josh is all about Grindr, and his endless hookups annoy the crap out of Griff. But Griff isn't interested in Josh. Nope. Not at all. (The lady doth protest too much, methinks.)
I love demisexual characters because once that connection is there, the sexual feelings explode. Josh and Griff's chemistry is off the charts. All those first times, the dirty talk, Griff's need to give himself over to Josh ... SO DAMN SEXY.
I liked how vulnerable Griff allowed himself to be with Josh, and how Josh had to let go of his past to accept that he belonged with Griff.
I have to admit I was curious about what happened to Josh to make him so scared of commitment; the explanation is maybe a tad melodramatic, but Josh's devotion is touching and heartbreaking. I really think these men were meant for each other!
The epilogue brings the series full circle. Call me a sap, but I'm satisfied everyone in Havenwood will live their happily ever after.

Griff's Place is the final book in the Havenwood series, and I think it's the best yet. I highly recommend you read them in order as it brings a lot of background to this story, in particular, though you *could* manage it as a stand-alone.
I love, love, love demisexual MCs, as they just light-up when they finally make that emotional connection. I've been wanting Griff to get his HEA for a few books now, and I'll admit I almost skipped to this book after reading the first in the series, but it was worth the wait. The playfulness mixed with the seriousness of this book was really special for me, and it was absolutely beautifully narrated.
Kale Williams really outdid himself with the narration for this book, in particular. I think he was getting his stride with the earlier books, but he gave the *best* voices for this story. I also admire how he stuck with 8+ unique voices while narrating this book, never messing up. It was very easy to know who was talking, and I LOVED that. 5+ stars for narration.
One of my favorite things about this story was the dirty talk. Wheeeeeew, boy, the dirty talk did it. I'm a sucker for some really explicit verbalization, over here, and this book really delivered. Combine that with a sexuality discovery story, and you've got me.
I see some mixed reviews from my friends, but this book got me right in the feels, and combined with a killer narration, it makes it on my yearly favorites list.

This is the final book in the series and it’s about Kellan’s brother, Griffin, and his best friend, Josh. So, once again, it has the brother’s best friend trope, but I definitely didn’t like it as much here as I did in Giving Chase. It honestly felt more like a friends-to-lovers trope.
I thought this book was pretty uneventful and repetitive, but I also struggled to truly love the romance here. Griffin is demisexual, so there surely wasn’t any lack of a deeper connection between them, but I somehow still wasn’t over the moon about their relationship. Their banter became boring after a while, and I also got a little sick of the ‘friends with benefits’ thing. Especially since they were being super sappy with it. It was clear from the beginning that they both cared deeply about the other, and their love was staring them right in the face, but they just kept ignoring and denying it. I understand why, of course. Josh had a very intense past that I’m sure will leave you feeling unsure and reluctant about future relationships, but still. I just got a little impatient, and eventually I stopped caring.
The thing with this series in general is that I like most of the ideas of the romances and storylines here, but something about the execution often leaves me either feeling a little bored or unfulfilled. Something about it just doesn’t manage to hit on a truly deeper level and it is unable to keep me completely invested. That doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy these books, because I did. I liked the characters and I liked the couples; I just didn’t love any of it.

Oh Josh, baby *sniff
My heart was breaking for what he’d been through and what he had to do. I was excited to find out more about Josh’s background and the reason why he was only always after casual sex and nothing more. And from the person we met in the last books I never would’ve thought there is this story hidden in him. I can’t imagine carrying so much guilt for so long.
I loved Griff’s and Josh’s love story. Griff discovering his sexuality and Josh having trouble letting go of his past. I loved how they were unable to stop what was happening between them despite both of them not wanting it to happen.
But as well as with the book before (with the dad/family trope) we have two people attracted to each other here who hesitate in the beginning to give whatever it is between them a shot because of people they love (cue brother’s best friend trope). Somehow this always is a bit of a buzz-kill for me. But luckily it didn’t last too long.
Their love-story progressed slowly tho and the issues they were working through in their minds and in talks with their friends felt a bit repetitive but all in all it was beautiful and a great ending to the series.
Big praise again at the end of my review for the the audios and the fantastic narration by Kale Williams!

I've loved this whole series but this one just made me feel things and cry for Josh and Griff 🥹
October 22, 2020
5 I think this is my favourite book of the year stars
“Nothing makes sense to me the way you do either. My whole life I wondered if something was wrong with me, if a part of me was broken, but it wasn’t. It was just waiting for you, waiting for the time to be right.”
Sweet jesus this is going to be a long review because I stayed up way too late to finish this last night and because I cried so many times during this damn book. Expecially the last 15%, that was such a rollercoaster of emotions, there was a scene so emotional in there I was just bailing my eyes out.
I have enjoyed most of my time in Havenwood and I was so excited to finally get to read Griff and Josh’s story, I feel like i’ve been waiting for it for ages, I just wanted to see how these two would get together and how they would fit together, because on the surface they seem so different.
But what you get is two men who are clearly made for each other fighting with all they have to be together.
I love when my books are all about the characters and their relationship. This is the case here, Griff and Josh are front and center, it’s all about their feelings and their lives and how they evolved as characters to become two men who fit perfectly together and who couldn’t deserve each other more. I asolutely loved how much character development was in this, you saw both of these men grow so much during the course of the book.
Man do I love Griff. He’s such a pure soul. He’s always been there for everyone but he never had someone be there for him. He just wanted to find his place in the world and he ended up finding the perfect place for himself. I loved how him being on the axesual spectrum was explored. That was so well done. You could see clearly how he worked and how he never really wanted anyone until he found the one person who pushed his buttons and worked for him. That was so so well done. I always love a good well done representation and it was the case here. I also loved how there was no angst when he realized what he wanted, as soon as he knew that he wanted Josh, even if he never really wanted anyone before, he went for it and got what he wanted, and I adored that. I always love a good sexual exploration story and I loved that we got to be there to see the switch from Griff not being able to really enjoy sex to Griff finding his person and exploring sexually for the first time, and loving it, we got to see him get his first blowjob, him give his first blowjob, all the frotting, his first time with a man, his first time toping. I loved all of it. And I loved being there as Griff discovered that he can enjoy sex too, it just had to be with the right person, and boy did he enjoy it.
Also, one thing I truly adored was the build-up to their relationship. You could see them spend more and more time together and you could clearly see the feelings starting to grow and slipping through the cracks. Nothing felt faked or put there to advance the story. This was just the story of two men going on with their lives and falling a bit more in love every day and not really realizing it, but it was there all along. And I loved that. The love they had for each other was so pure and so well shown that it was so easy to see why these two would love each other and why they fit so well together. You see them falling in love plain and simple and I really really loved that part, that was perfectly done.
Also Josh, what a character. I was a bit worried about him, he seemed like he had the potential to hurt Griff so much from how he acted in the previous books. But man did his story break my heart, poor guy, I can’t imagine how heartbroken I would have been to go through what he did. And hell, he was so perfect for Griff. I really really loved how his backstory was told and handled. It showed that sometimes things happen and they can change who you are as a person and it’s all about you deal with those things. And Josh dealt so well with them, in the end. He used to let it overcome him and he wasn’t sure he had any love to give to Griff at first (because of something that happened to him in the past). But once he decided that he wanted his Griff, that was it for him. He fought with everything he had to he able to let himself love again and to have his man. I loved how that was done. How he didn’t try to deny himself or his need for Griff. Even if he wasn’t sure he could allow his heart to love Griff, he never pushed him away (loved that), he kept fighting and fighting to be able to deserve his man. And I really loved that about him. I loved that he knew what he wanted and fought with all he had to get it. I loved how he didn’t really try to pretend or try to put a stop to it, he knew what he wanted and went for it. He was scared and wanted to stop it, but he never did and I loved him for him, so much.
One more thing, the passing to this was perfect, by the time they start seeing each other you can clearly tell that they’re meant to be and by the time you get close to the book ending, you can clearly tell how in love with each other they are.
Also, bonus point to the communication these two had. They were so open and honest with each other and they always talked about their feelings and their issues. They didn’t hide stuff from each other and if there was a problem, they talked it out. I loved that. There is nothing I love more than a couple who communicates well with each other. And I loved that Josh told Griff his big issue before they started dating and that it was never hidden, I hate when one of the main character hides what could be considered a big problem for the relationship and it only comes out towards the end of the book. I loved that it was not the case here, these two were so open and honest. I mean, there was this one secret that was kept for most of the book but it wasn’t very important in the grand scheme of things that i’m choosing to overlook it. The still had a perfect and honest communication, to me.
I loved everything about this book, but mostly I loved seeing Griff and Josh slowly falling in love with each other and then fighting like crazy to be what the person they love deserve.
Also, bonus points to Josh’s nipple piercings and Josh winning Griff a stuffed bear, both very enjoyable things in my opinion.
Also, side note, I loved how we got to spend a bit of time with all of the previous characters, they’re all are so nice, they just seems like a bunch of lovely people and loved being able to see everyone going strong and all the love between them. The characters are definitely the best part of this series, I just love everyone in it and i’m so happy that we got to see how happy they all are one last time.

I loved all of it. And I loved being there as Griff discovered that he can enjoy sex too, it just had to be with the right person, and boy did he enjoy it.
Also, one thing I truly adored was the build-up to their relationship. You could see them spend more and more time together and you could clearly see the feelings starting to grow and slipping through the cracks. Nothing felt faked or put there to advance the story. This was just the story of two men going on with their lives and falling a bit more in love every day and not really realizing it, but it was there all along. And I loved that. The love they had for each other was so pure and so well shown that it was so easy to see why these two would love each other and why they fit so well together. You see them falling in love plain and simple and I really really loved that part, that was perfectly done.
Also Josh, what a character. I was a bit worried about him, he seemed like he had the potential to hurt Griff so much from how he acted in the previous books. But man did his story break my heart, poor guy, I can’t imagine how heartbroken I would have been to go through what he did. And hell, he was so perfect for Griff. I really really loved how his backstory was told and handled. It showed that sometimes things happen and they can change who you are as a person and it’s all about you deal with those things. And Josh dealt so well with them, in the end. He used to let it overcome him and he wasn’t sure he had any love to give to Griff at first (because of something that happened to him in the past). But once he decided that he wanted his Griff, that was it for him. He fought with everything he had to he able to let himself love again and to have his man. I loved how that was done. How he didn’t try to deny himself or his need for Griff. Even if he wasn’t sure he could allow his heart to love Griff, he never pushed him away (loved that), he kept fighting and fighting to be able to deserve his man. And I really loved that about him. I loved that he knew what he wanted and fought with all he had to get it. I loved how he didn’t really try to pretend or try to put a stop to it, he knew what he wanted and went for it. He was scared and wanted to stop it, but he never did and I loved him for him, so much.
One more thing, the passing to this was perfect, by the time they start seeing each other you can clearly tell that they’re meant to be and by the time you get close to the book ending, you can clearly tell how in love with each other they are.
Also, bonus point to the communication these two had. They were so open and honest with each other and they always talked about their feelings and their issues. They didn’t hide stuff from each other and if there was a problem, they talked it out. I loved that. There is nothing I love more than a couple who communicates well with each other. And I loved that Josh told Griff his big issue before they started dating and that it was never hidden, I hate when one of the main character hides what could be considered a big problem for the relationship and it only comes out towards the end of the book. I loved that it was not the case here, these two were so open and honest. I mean, there was this one secret that was kept for most of the book but it wasn’t very important in the grand scheme of things that i’m choosing to overlook it. The still had a perfect and honest communication, to me.
I loved everything about this book, but mostly I loved seeing Griff and Josh slowly falling in love with each other and then fighting like crazy to be what the person they love deserve.
Also, bonus points to Josh’s nipple piercings and Josh winning Griff a stuffed bear, both very enjoyable things in my opinion.
Also, side note, I loved how we got to spend a bit of time with all of the previous characters, they’re all are so nice, they just seems like a bunch of lovely people and loved being able to see everyone going strong and all the love between them. The characters are definitely the best part of this series, I just love everyone in it and i’m so happy that we got to see how happy they all are one last time.

What a lovely end to this series! I laughed, I swooned, I cried real tears. So many tears.
Griff and Josh were surprisingly perfect together. It was a bit of a slow start, but once it picked up, it had me completely hooked. They had awesome banter, great sex, and were just really cute together. I like the manwhore and demisexual pairing, it’s always fun.
This book has a real end of the series feel, where the author feels the need to tie every little end perfectly and leave everybody living their perfect HEA. And although it was a bit much, it made me smile.
Definitely not a standalone. We spend time with every single couple from this series, and even the secondary characters get their HEA. I’m sad this series is over, I loved these guys.

I was so excited to read this final installment int his series, which I have adored.
At the start of the series I didn't see Griffin and Josh as a couple, but by the last book when there was definitely something there, I was all for it.
It was kinda perfect, Griffin who is demisexual and doesn't really feel desire until Josh, and is more someone who would want a serious commitment than anything casual if he ever did feel desire for someone, and Josh who is a very sexual person and sleeps with a ton of guys and doesn't want to commit - for reasons we find out in this - falling in love with each other. Total opposites, but who work together so well.
I did give this 4 stars instead of 5, but that was only because at first I didn't quite feel that chemistry or that love connection between these two, and it felt a little out of nowhere. I just wish we could have gotten more of a build up to them being together, and a more detailed build up at that. At times the chemistry wasn't all the way there for me.
But that's not to say I didn't enjoy these two, because I very much did. It was great to see Griffin feeling sexual desire for the first time in his life, and for Josh to be showing romantic feelings for Griffin.
And when these two teased each other all the time, I loved that. They had a rapport with each other that just worked. And getting to see the other three couples settled and happy together was great too.
So, while not my favorite of the series (I think that goes to Knox and Callum for me), definitely up there and still a definitely win for me overall.
So I definitely recommend this, and definitely two thumbs up from me.

Oh, for fuck sakes. Riley Hart, you sneaky bitch. I wanted a light, romantic read, and that’s what I got. Just with dashes of so much more.
My heart is all light and airy right now. At the moment, I’m drinking my morning coffee at the table and just read a hot sex scene and the sweetest epilogue I ever did read.
My goodness! That epilogue almost made it five stars. ALMOST.
I...I loved, I laughed, I got teary eyed, I squealed. I thrashed around in my sheets when Grumpy Griff was being Josh’s needy bottom, I grinned at the banter. I’m just so ooey gooey right now, mushy marshmallow insides.
I DID have some problems, though. I didn’t really see the need to keep Doug, Josh’s first love, in a vegetative state. It could’ve easily worked if he died when he was supposed to, all those years ago. While I get it in an emotional sense, I didn’t see it working here at all. It added unnecessary emotional angst, when the angst of losing your first love is angst enough. I am a huge fan of my MC’s having a dead lover (that sounds SO wrong, stop judging me) and watching them move on, falling in love again, realizing they are worthy.
So while it did add a little something to Griff’s Place, I don’t think it necessarily needed it to reach that emotional angst.
Josh feels guilty because he feels responsible for Doug’s death. Josh hides that part of himself with lots of anonymous sex and witty sarcastic remarks. That would have been enough.
Griff was just lovely. I love Demisexual MC’s, and this was well done. HOWEVER, I would’ve liked just a bit more...I don’t know. Personality? He’s a good man, an honourable man who treats people right. He’s caring, he’s insecure because he hasn’t felt what other people do during sexual interactions. Maybe it’s because I haven’t read the first two books in the series so I don’t know him as well as the rest of you, which is probably the case.
Griff’s Place had SCORCHING dirty talk. Was it a bit cheesy? YES! But I loved it anyway. It had great banter, swoony romance, and it was just so sweet.
Even with that, I’m gonna say I liked Hard Knox more just because it had children. Who would’ve thought I like children in my books? I don’t know, MC’s having children adds something. Not all the time, I probably just have baby fever so that’s the kind of mood I’m in.

I really had a bad feeling going in to this one. I wasn't all that interested in Josh honestly and I wasn't really looking forward to him and Griff falling in love.
I wasn't wrong. I just don't know if I ever really connected with these two or felt their connection. I have no idea what Griff ever saw in Josh really.
Again, the dialogue just didn't work for me.
I will persevere with this author though, seems there is a new release getting some great reviews.

Once again, we have Riley Hart giving us what we like, deep thoughts, terrific characters and new love to relish.
Josh shows up at Griff's place, and says "let's go hiking!"
Griff, on the cover, is 30, a bar owner,
amiable but hiding a sadness.
Josh is a personal trainer,
vibrant and bright, who has a secret torment.
Next up is a gathering for an announcement to family and friends, from Griff's brother Kellan and his partner Chase. They are having a baby (I.V.) and get engaged. This puts Griff in a spin. He knows he's different, unlike everyone else. Why is he different? What's wrong with him? He has never been attracted to anyone, and feels so alone.
Josh is the first and only person Griff has feelings for, but Josh is his opposite, always hooking up.
Griff is then on the road to the discovery of himself.
Many talks, and Griff is wondering if he's demisexual, that means he needs to have feelings for someone before he can have sex. Josh and Griff get away to a cabin and explore, but will their bargain work?
The guys are hanging out, doing car repairs, raking leaves, and get along together, including having erotic, explicit sexy times, each takes turns topping, and more.
It's a slow burn romance, and explodes into love.
Questions are answered, Josh's secret revealed, and conflicts solved.
It's an unusual and fascinating tale, with a grand epilogue !
ENJOY !

I’m so sad I’ve finally finished this series 😭 each story was so good and the characters were so unique and I enjoyed them all so much.
I will admit that I found it harder to feel the connection between Josh and Griff. Their whole thing was teasing and banter, and they’d gotten close by hanging out going for hike’s and fishing. But we never really got the bonding on page, it was mostly the teasing we saw, and that teasing was mostly Josh’s doing while Griff flipped him off. Of course we were told in Griff’s pov that it was all fun and he didn’t mind the teasing, but the way he reacted physically just always seemed like he wasn’t that into it so it was hard to actually believe what he said and feel that deeper connection with them.
But once they were together they were cute and the bond felt a bit more real. Over all I’d say they were my least favourite couple, which is ironic since I started reading this series specifically for this book 😂 but even being my least favourite, I still really enjoyed this book and I’m so happy to see how everyone got their happy endings together and I really am sad to be done with all their stories.
I definitely recommend this series, and it is a must to read them all from the start because you get to learn about all the characters in each book and I feel like you’d be missing out on a lot if you read any of the books out of order or as standalones.

I enjoyed Griff's Place quite a bit, but it wasn't the complete home run I hoped.
I have been DYING for this couple to get their book. Unfortunately, At the beginning, I felt more build-up in the waiting for the book than in the book itself. It all felt rushed, more telling than showing.
Once they started hooking up, things started looking up. I love hookups, dirty talk, and possessiveness.
The last part was the real highlight. It had all the feels of a true hurt/comfort book. The moment of closure made me ugly cry. It was beautifully written.
One thing that stuck out to me is that the story felt somewhat repetitive. Maybe because Kellan and Josh sounded a lot alike, it made the banter and nicknames sound, well, repetitive.
Griff was all kinds of amazing and lived up to all my expectations. He's someone I'd want to hang out with in real life.
All in all, it was a nice addition to The Havenwood series. As a whole, I love this series.
4 stars

This book was everything
It was everything I needed and everything I asked for! After I read the first book the first thing I said was I needed Griff and Josh to end up together. I waited to the very end and I was not disappointed. This was absolutely perfect. Swoon. It had the right amount of angst, drama and love. Oh the love in this book. Completely filled my heart. I laughed I cried I swooned, I blushed and I completely fell more in love with Griff and Josh. I loved them from book one and I love them even more now. I don’t know if that was the what the author wanted but she completely succeeded. The writing was amazing the smexy was freakin HAWT and the side characters of course rocked because they were past MC’s. I’ve really enjoyed following this amazing group of friends I’m going to miss them. This book was the best of the 4

emotional and beautiful book!
Who knew Josh’s backstory was SO tragic. I won’t spoil it but there’s a reason Josh is the way he is.
Griff sees Josh for who he is and their friendship turns into more when they go on a trip together. Slowly, they come to realize what the other person means to them. It’s a wonderful and beautiful book. They go through a lot but through it all there was solid communication and understanding. Loved that!
I’m sad Havenwood stories are over but I really loved this series and I’m happy everyone got the HEA they deserved.
Highly recommend!

I despise this book with the strength of the sun. Not believing at all the main couple in this book wasn't too terrible but the way surrogacy is framed was absolutely disgusting and immediately distracted me from the rest of the story. The character who will be pregnant is referred as, literally, "oven" in several occasions and at some point someone talks about surrogacy as "(...) It’s the best gift you can give someone.".
I don't care what your parents told you as a child: NO, your genes are not so special that an "oven" is need, people with uterus are not "ovens", YOU CAN ADOPT.

Griff and Josh ❤️❤️ With this being the concluding book of the Havenwood series I knew going in that emotions would run high, as things wrapped up and lives carried on, but I don’t think that I was fully prepared for the deep emotions that I experienced. Griff, the strong big brother that has watched everyone get their HEA since book one, goes through a late in life awakening of sexuality and the realization as to why he has always been different than those around him. Josh, the hit it and quit it flirt of the group, has deep emotional scaring from his past that has kept him closed off from any possibility of love. As all of our favorite Havenwood characters have paired off into their HEAs these two life long single guys found themselves feeling strangely lonely. Soon two lonely people found that being together not only was the answer to their loneliness but also the things that they thought would keep them alone forever. This was the perfect ending to this series, the love of every single character in the series was poured into this book as all of Havenwood reached it’s happily ever after.

…..speechless…..
I think there have been very few series of books I’ve read where I felt an all encompassing sense of closure in the end - and this was one of them.
Like several other people have said, I have long been waiting to read Griffs happy ending, but I also knew that I wouldn’t enjoy it nearly as much without going through the other three novels before it, and that stands true. This book was the perfect bookend to the series in so many ways.
Griff is such a well thought out and deep character, probably the deepest of the group. And I really think a close second to him, is Josh. I didn’t know what to think when I first saw the signs that these two would end up together but it ended up being so perfect.
My heart broke for both of these guys in different way: Griff coming to terms with his sexuality and not feeling “normal” and being lonely his entire life, and Josh feeling so conflicted on his path to finding love again. I won’t lie, I basically sobbed at all of Josh’s backstory. It was so full of love and grief, and made me root for his happiness even more.
This entire series came full circle for me and I really wouldn’t change any of it. Each book had its own central theme and plots that all tied so well to the overall little universe created here. This series will definitely be a re-read for me and I’m already looking forward to it again!

Griffin will always be my fav character in this series.
I'm so happy he found his HEA.
Before this book I loved their friendship with Josh. See that growing in to a beautiful romance was just a big plus.
« “I love you…do you know that? Sometimes I think you believe it’s just me who changed your life. You changed mine, Griffy, and I plan to spend every day of the rest of my life showing you how grateful I am that you chose me.”
I smiled, felt the smile in my chest. “There’s only one problem with that.”
“What’s that?”
“I plan to spend every day of the rest of my life showing you how grateful I am that you chose me. »
All of the couples are settled.
Perfect ending to this series.
I'm always recommending a Riley Hart book. Forever.

3.5. Not my favourite in the series but I still enjoyed it. The demi rep was good IMO. Josh was harder to like for some reason. It was nice to see all the characters from the series again. The epilogue was nice but maybe too sweet especially the last page. The series was wrapped up well in this one even though saying goodbye is always difficult.
