Review
The wait was worth it!
This was a great conclusion to Haley and Bentley’s story. Shawnte has a wonderful ability to write a
realistic and engaging story, and I was not at all disappointed. I love how both characters were not perfect
and watching them grow in order to be the people they needed to be to make
things work.
The secondary characters were fun to read about as
well. Getting to know Bentley’s family
better made understanding Bentley easier and made him more relatable. I would like to have spent more time with
Haley’s family as well, but what glipse we did have helped understand her a
little bit better as well.
I would definitely recommend this series and all of the
books by Shawnte Borris. She has a
unique voice when writing that makes it easy to get lost in her stories.
5 Stars!

“Two nights ago we slept together. It was perfect I mean we were under the stars and the fire was roaring…” -Bentley.
“My mom made the quilt and matching bumper pads with her and my dad’s old quilt.” “Our good luck,” she whispered
