Ratings and reviews

Finally it is Finn's turn for his book after feeling the simmering love/hate relationship through out the other two books. Finn and Beah have a past and we finally get to know how they came to marry as well as why they split which gives so much more clarity in regards to why they are still stewing over each other. But now they have to put their differences aside and help plan a wedding for their friends overseas which leads to revelations, friends with benefits as well as an opportunity for both of them to move on one way or the other. The fact we get also get Keely and Dares story as well is great and I must say Dare has a lot of will power! lol I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

When I learned that this book was the end of Murphy International, I panicked just a little. There was at least one more couple I needed answers about. But I needn’t have worried so much. This title gives us Finn and Beah, but also answers the question of what Keely and Dare have been up to. Now, I live and breathe for second chance stories, but these lovers just kept mucking it all up and I despaired of ever seeing them get it right. We’ve watched them pussyfoot around each other in the background of the previous books, so I was already pretty invested in seeing it all come right, for both couples. There’s lots of water under the bridges and it takes some extreme lengths to get past all the old hurts. There were a couple of things that I felt like I was missing to make this a perfect read, though. First was the emotional connection with the main characters. Finn was shut down and Beah had done something similar to protect herself from getting further hurt. This made me feel like I was on the outside trying desperately to get in. The other thing that I wanted more of was the presence of the larger Murphy clan. They play very little role in this book and I missed them. However, I loved the way this ended, and I hope these characters will make cameo appearances in the future. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book through Booksprout.

Will their jobs bringing the two back on the same continent lead to a happily ever after Beah and Finn may be divorced for close to a decade but each still slips up by referring to the other as their spouse vs. ex-spouse. Let alone remembering the things they loved about each other before the divorce that keeps coming back to their minds now that they are made to be on the same continent. You will love the steam coming off these two, but will Finn’s stubbornness destroy their chance at a second happily ever after? You have to read to find out and won’t want to put the book down!
