This one started off with a lot of angst. But the story itself was really a lot different than the first two in the series. Because really for most of the story, the big conflict was just how crazy Bay’s life was as a musician. Even more-so than Keyton’s life as a professional football player. And that right there was where the surprising difference of the story was for me.

I don’t want to give a lot away, you need to read the first two books. But this one had some of the angst, just not quite the same way as the first two books. We got to see Bay and Keyton get some good time together, the best that they could with how their lives were so busy. But there was still the past in the back of their heads, keeping everything from being perfect and going smoothly. At the end, Keyton does something that is pretty shocking, but understandable for him. And when he realizes what he’s done wrong, and comes back to try to win Bay back, well that was pretty much tears-inducing. Even though I was a bit mad at her for how stubborn she was at that moment.

One thing that really did bother me a little was how she would keep almost calling him Dare. I feel like they’d been apart enough, and then the times they had been together when he’d been going by Keyton were enough for her to get past that. But that’s just probably a pet peeve I had as I was reading. Otherwise this was a great wrap-up to this trilogy. Of course now I also want to know what was going on with Holden, and hope to know soon!
