Summary

Whitney Carlisle has everything under control–or at least that’s what she needs everyone in Blue Moon Bay to think. She has always faced the hard times in her life head-on and come out stronger for it. But this time, she isn’t so sure. Whitney knows she needs help, but how can she put that burden on Trent, her fiancé? How can she crush his dreams by telling him the plans they made for a future together have to change?

All Trent Connolly wants is to get married, have kids, and spend the rest of his life loving Whitney. Their relationship has had its share of ups and downs–like any other couple–and they’ve always managed to get through it unscathed. So when Whitney is clearly struggling with something, Trent is ready to help. His fiancée’s strong will is part of what draws him to her–but this time, it feels like it’s pushing him away.

Whatever Whitney is hiding from everyone has to be big. Possibly life-changing. She must believe that revealing her secret would do Trent more harm than good, even if it crushes her under the weight of it. The only thing he can do now is be there for her in whatever way she needs…until a secret of his own comes to light that threatens to steal their chance at forever.

Review

To my deepest disappointment, this is the last book in the Blue Moon Bay series. It's been a wonderful journey and I'm so glad that this book ended with Whitney and Trent. After the last book, Whitney left me feeling concerned about her with questions on my mind that I desperately needed answers to. Told through the perspective of the past and present, we follow the journey between Whitney and Trent leaving us with a bittersweet ending concluding our time in this beautiful small town.

Out of all the ladies in the series, I really took a liking to Whitney. Partly because I see so much of myself in her, which made me like her instantly. She is a people pleaser that works hard to get any task done at whatever cost, especially when it comes to her health and happiness. She represents so many women out there who don't see how amazing they are and never ask for help especially when it's desperately needed. So, when someone like Trent comes along, you desperately root for her hea because she deserves someone that will love her unconditionally and want to be by her side no matter what.

I love Trent. He is the type of guy that grew up into a better, wiser person. You know, young and wild but older and wiser. All it took was to meet the right person and life changed for him. He's got a great supporting family that also loves Whitney and amazing friends that give the balance to his life that make him a likable character. He works hard and loves Whitney.

These two were made for each other. In their story, it literally has ups and downs but they are the testament of the power of the strength of how much someone can love another. There are some revelations and heartbreak in this book but ultimately we see why these two were meant to be together.

Overall, this was my favorite but without bias, this book was supposed to be the final. I love how she wrapped up everything and gave the closure that we deserved and needed. This was a really nice conclusion to a wonderful series. It gives you love, friendship and the joy of a great family. For those who have followed along with this series, you will love how this ends. If you are new to the series, please start from the beginning to absorb all aspects of the book. You will be able to follow how their stories intertwine in each other's lives.
