***4 Stars***
While I’m sad to say goodbye to the Barrett Boys, this was a great send off for the brothers, their family and the series. It had a little bit of everything I love when it comes to reading and then some.
I loved and Ashlyn and Cooper. Ashlyn was sweet, a little snarky, a little insecure, but full of determination when it came to following her heart. Cooper is protective, hard working and just an all around good man, though he did have a huge dose of the “They are better off without me” thing going on.
Their journey to their HEA was definitely fraught with a good dose of drama in many ways, but when it came to them working out their shared past and feelings for each other, I really enjoyed being along for the ride. A lot of what I liked was that they had a shared past, they had this teenage, summer break love thing going on and it had me rooting for them to work things out so they could get that chance at an HEA. Now, there were quite a few roadblocks in this one, but I loved how everything worked out for them in the end.
As I said, I’m sad to say goodbye to the Barrett Brothers, but this was a great send off, though my toes are crossed that we’ll hear from them in the future. There is a good dose of drama in this one, and some of it was a bit crazy, but I like how it all served to bring Coop and Ashlyn together. And, yes, I did get a tinsy bit teary eyed at the end, but it was a good kind of tearing up.

When the only woman he’s ever loved drops back into his life, he comes face to face with a past he wants to forget. Unable to accept his shame, he’s ready to walk away once more… until her life is threatened.
Cooper:
I chose one of the most remote places on Earth, an island paradise, in order to keep my past at bay. Now a piece of it has just walked through my front door. And not just any piece: an achingly beautiful, hauntingly familiar piece.
Damn, Ashlyn’s sunshine smile and sparkling green eyes are going to ruin me. The connection we used to have hasn’t been lost, I can sense it every time she looks at me. I so want to be the man she deserves, but it’s too late for that now. There are no second chances after what I did. My only option is to walk away…until men with guns lay siege to the island.
I won’t let her become another hostage.
Grandpa once said that life forced me into becoming a warrior. He told me he was proud of my unwavering fight to keep my brothers safe. But I don’t think he meant for me to become a killer. Now I’m once again forced into a role I never asked for, but it’s not like I have a choice.
Because if anything in this world is worth protecting… it’s her.
