Too long - beautiful HEA but the angst to get to it is painful

First Andi Arndt did a good job but it really needed 2 narrators. The story was obvious and sad except for a few parts. Everyone deals with life’s hardships differently but the joy and duty of caring for your child should take precedence and Elizabeth’s self absorption for most of the book or months of Lizzy and Christian’s lives made for a story that dragged. When you want to fast forward and skip some sections of dialog you know this needed a better edit. Would have been better as a novella and or add more to the storyline with a subplot with some of the other characters like maybe Matthew and Natalie. Fortunately this was included in the Romance Package so I didn’t waste a credit.

Love

If you read the past two book read this one! If you find yourself angry during this don't worry I was too! But don't worry it gets good and it's really worth it.:)

Great end to the series

Very emotional and sad, but they get their happy ending. Definitely worth a credit to finish this series!

So Depressing and so much Unnecessary Sadness!

I loved the other two books, but this book was nothing but unnecessary sadness. Like 5 1/2 hours of talking about something they don’t even tell you about until 4 1/2 hours in. The only time I review a book in full is when it’s really good or really bad, and this one was really bad. I skipped thru 5 to 10 minutes here and there bc I could not stand to listen to anymore of the same dreadful nonsense. If I wouldn’t have liked the first 2 books so much, there is no way I would have finished this book. Thank God, it has a happy ending!

Hard to swallow

I understand the mental effects on someone when they lose a child but I’ve never wanted to slap someone more than I wanted to slap Elizabeth. This was just really slow for me.

Great Last Book in the Series

Once again I just went on the wildest rollercoaster ride. I could feel every ache and bit of loss. When this book began, I felt like I was missing a piece of the puzzle, but in true A.L. Jackson, by the end of the story, the puzzle was complete and made the most beautiful picture.

A book of trauma, but well written and narrated.

Oh my goodness this book absolutely gutted me. It tore me to shreds. Amy has written about one of the most traumatic things I can think of and has done it with a realness and a raw quality that had me bawling. No this is not a pretty love story. Christian and Elizabeth have to claw their way to their HEA. The emotions are like a tsunami that just keep coming.

This book went back and forth from the past to the present, with the timelines slowly getting closer and closer. It was kind of like a crash that you see coming but can’t do anything to stop. I’m sure people who have experienced this would understand fully the pain that Elizabeth and Christian go through. I haven’t personally experienced this trauma but have something that made me feel all these emotions and it was a tough book to listen to.

Andi, well I’m not sure how she got through this one. It would have taken a lot out of her I’m sure. She gave us so much raw emotion.

Even though it was an uncomfortable listen at times, I’m glad I pushed through. It gave me some insight into the despair that comes with living this kind of trauma and I would hope that I could sit with someone who has lived this and be of some support.

A well written journey of grief, trauma but also a love that was strong enough to get them their HEA.

Have your tissues at the ready for this one, you’re gonna need them.
