This was a beautiful end to the Swift Brothers series. We finally get to know Rhett Swift and see him try to remake himself and be the man and brother he always wanted to be. He was a hard character to get a read on in the first two books, mainly because he was always so standoffish, and every time he interacted with one of his brothers, it resulted in a fight. But we finally get to see all he endured at the hands of his father and the immense pressure placed on his shoulders, and my heart went out to him. His father had damaged him so badly; it was heartbreaking. But him finally being able to live for himself and his desire to repair his relationships with his brothers was wonderful to see.

Helping Rhett along his journey are Tripp Cassidy and his daughter, Meadow. They both recognized how lost Rhett was and thought he might need a friend. The slow build of the friendship between Tripp and Rhett was the sweetest. Tripp was a great guy, and I loved how he kept showing up for Rhett, being the kind of friend he needed and being patient while Rhett slowly let down his walls around him. Their progression from friends to lovers felt entirely natural, and the way they were both so open and honest with one another was great to see. A perk of having mature MCs. They made such great partners, and I loved watching them fall in love.

I also adored Rhett’s relationship with Tripp’s daughter. She was wise beyond her years, and the way she and Rhett bonded was beautiful. I loved the advice she gave him and how he opened up to her. The little family that Meadow, Rhett, and Tripp built was so sweet. Rhett finally got to experience what a family should be, and you could see that he would never take that privilege for granted.

Probably the most important aspect of this book, though, was seeing all three Swift brothers come together and finally work through a lifetime of hurt and damage their father caused them. I loved all the healing and growth from all three brothers, and it warmed my heart to see how they all ended up. The epilogue was so perfect; it was everything I could have wanted for these guys, and the final few lines brought me to tears. It was the perfect way to end this series.
