I liked it a lot. I like that it’s from his perspective, I like the way things worked out and I like them together and her daughter. What I don’t like is more general to the series. If this was a standalone it would be almost 5 stars but the series is starting to drag a little.
The characters I loved at the start like Duke, Lucy, Hux and Everly aren’t in it at all anymore apart from a passing mention. Even Cal from the last one is only a brief mention. They also all, and I mean ALL, end up married with a few kids even when it doesn’t quite make sense. I love when characters end up with kids but it’s almost too much in this series. The next book is always years after the last, this one is maybe 2/3 years after the last one’s epilogue.
There is also a lot of very convenient drama that is starting to annoy me. Books can be interesting without mentioning a past attempted murder that has no bearing on the current plot. Or a random surrogate that pops up half way through the book.
