For the fans of the Midnight Sons novels this is a cute ending. Since we read about Scott and Chrissie as children and Scott professing that one day he would marry Chrissie it was cute to see it happen. The begging her to forgive him for his stupidity didn't occur which should have happened before hand. That was my only disappointment. It was a cute little read. There is no falling in love in the book you just start the book out assuming that they both are already in love.
how could the sweet, loveable little boy change into an angry, disrespectful teen, to a lunkhead, that's Scott O'Halloran who dumped Chrissie Harris twice
I didn't like it. I really like the first book and looked forward to Scott and Chrissie's story, however Scott was a big disappointment. He was a cheater and only really cared about himself.
He was in relationship with Chrissie when he left town to join military but he met someone else and wasn't even decent enough to tell her himself, but had his sister break the news to Chrissie. He comes back to town engaged to someone else (probably the woman who he broke up with Chrissie for) and cheats on her with Chrissie and doesn't even have decency to talk to her, but just left with the other woman not to return for years. He broke up with that other woman right after but stayed away and had relationships with lots of other women. Then he realizes he wants to be with Chrissie after sowing all his oats and moves back to Hard Luck expecting Chrissie to be waiting for him and to start off where they ended and sadly after a few weeks he gets exactly that.
The only thing I liked about book was seeing what happened to all the characters from previous books. Np.

I was excited to visit Hard Luck again, and see Chrissie and Scott all grown up. I loved checking in with all the characters that had become so dear to me, and was happy to imagine all of them growing and thriving. Because so much time was spent revisiting our old friends, the actual story of Chrissie and Scott felt a little rushed...but I expected as much, and still enjoyed it tremendously. I was pleasantly surprised to learn of this book's existence (I didn't think I'd ever see any of these characters again!) and it made my heart happy to see how everything turned out.
This was a cute read by Debbie Macomber. It's the concluding book to the Midnight Sons series and it tells the story of Scott and Chrissy- the two children of Abby and Sawyer. First I will admit that it helps if you read this series from the beginning to the end. It will just make the series more special!
They are adults now. Chrissie and Scott. He has broken her heart twice and she is guarding it now that he is home for good. No matter how hard he tries she won't let him get close again. Kind of sad because it tells of some of the things that have happened through the years. Babies born, kids from first book all grown up and who they married and who is retiring. Fitting end. Loved it.
Usually I love her books. This one was just irritating. Both main characters personalities left a lot to be desired. He was so smug after he had treated her like dirt not once but twice. She was just wishy washy and in need of a good slap upside her head. And the ending!!!????!!!!
2.5 stars A cute epilogue to the series, but not really much of a story on it's own. A full-length novel with some depth to what had happened over the nearly 20 years since the previous book ended would have been nice.
Loved the setting in Alaska and the characters were thoroughly engaging. At one point with all of the mis-communication I really thought they weren’t going to finally get together. Forgiveness can walk a fine line but true love is opened ended.
Scott and Chrissie had a relationship in high school that didn't end well. Even though they loved each other life kept getting in the way. The setting in Alaska is great and in enjoyed the building of the story, but it ended rather abruptly.
As always Debbie Macomber writes amazing love stories. I felt like she writing a message to me. Not sure how I feel about her message but will try to understand that there is always something good in my life.
Another great story. The typical love story with a twist. Set in beautiful Alaska this story was well written and had you wondering if they would finally come to their senses.
A light, easy, fun romance read! I enjoyed this light-hearted, clean short romance story. I guess it could even be entitled, "Full Circle." First loves go the long way around to find each other, both with their own sets of baggage and hurt. A fun read!
This wraps up the series with a sweet story of its own. The children are all grown up and starting their own lives, and through them we get to see all the characters we fell in love with along the way. I highly enjoyed!
Quick but funny read. Chrissie is determined not to let her guard down around Scott. He thinks she is flying to Fairbanks to meet a boyfriend. Boy, does he get jealous. I laughed at the last 2 pages.
Novella of two of the younger characters from Hard Luck, Alaska. Just a smattering teasing little bit of their struggles and loves. It would have been nice to have completed the story in full, but I guess it was time to close it. This was a delightful series all total. 12/24/22 - 12/25/22
This book was more of a novella, but I loved it! It was a great ending to the series. I loved how the author caught us all up on the other couples along with their children and what they had been doing.
Good feelings is what I get out of Debbie’s books. Her stories are fun, romantic and exactly what I’m looking for...entertainment! She never disappoints me!
