I really enjoyed this one for sure. It had a lot of angst and a lot of just real issues. When there was a discussion about education and how things were for Hunter, or even for Iris and her younger brother, I really connected with that. Although it doesn’t necessarily matter if you have a fancy building to make things good for kids or for them to be successful as he pointed out in one bit. The last school I worked at was in an old building that had all kinds of issues and problems and while everyone might have complained and lamented about those things, our kids were successful and it was due to the wonderful staff we had. The way they worked for and cared for yet still had high expectations for our students. Whereas I might be in a nicer building that pays better and none of the kids have to go to a trailer for a classroom, I don’t feel we have quite what my last school did. Not saying my teachers at my current school don’t care and work hard, it’s just not the same.

Enough about that, I have to say that I did love these characters. We got so deep into their family issues. It was hard to see how much Hunter cared for Iris. And true to his family curse/blessing, he knew she was the one, but also knew he had to give her space and let her figure out what she wanted. The way they were brought together through her younger brother was perfect though.

In the end we did get our HEA, of course, and I loved how her younger brother was asking if he now was part of the family if he’d have to worry about finding the one like they all did and knowing that she was the one. Love this series, and don’t know if this is the end now, but it was perfect!
