Finally, we have reached the final book of this quartet. To Cameron Hollingsworth's story, the reclusive, brooding, cynical one.

Pippa Laingley was always caught in awkward situations by Cameron Hollingsworth. Another one presented itself while she is catering for her best friend Ashley and his best friend Devon's housewarming party. As if partnering with him at their wedding wasn't enough (she's attracted to him, and what she doesn't know is that Cam is also interested, very much, so much that he has erotic fantasies. Ahem!)

This is the same Pippa from the previous book on whom Ashley went all mopey and who taught her cooking, at least tried.

Cam and Pippa both agree on a one night stand. And what an interesting one it is, oh my...till it is marred by worry over the chances that she may be pregnant. And pregnant she turns out to be, in a few weeks. To which, Cam suggests a mutually beneficial partnership, which Pippa's pride doesn't agree to, whereas he's adamant on keeping them safe.

The camaraderie between Pippa and Ashley is fun. As is the one between Devon and Cameron, infact all four friends, it is just superb. I loved it in the previous book and I loved it here again. 'I need the girls.' Only the words have to be said and they are all together, being the strongest support system for each other. It makes me wonder, after Ashley and Pippa, do Sylvia, Carly, and Tabitha have their own stories too?

There's a time jump of a few months, necessary for the storyline, I think. Cam continues to blow hot and cold, he just can't make up his mind whether he wants to be with Pippa or not. He couldn't move on from his painful past, a past where he had loved and lost both his wife, Elise and his son, Colton. He has nightmares due to it, this time imagining Pippa in place of his dead wife. It's so intense, the way he feels, and he doesn't share his fears with her. (It seems he should have got himself a psychologist! That much pain and remembrance couldn't have been good...)

And then comes Devon and Ashley's daughter into the world, Katelynn. This book had some cute friendship between Devon and Pippa.

There is some funny grovelling, and much needed too, especially after all the nasty things he's said to her. It has a beautiful ending with the birth of their baby boy Maverick. After which his cave in Greenwich is transformed into a proper house.

P.S. Gloria Copeland (Ashley's mother), oh how I loved her in the previous book, and in this one too. She is the mother everyone dreams of.

The main thing I liked about this book was that till everything was sorted out, Pippa maintains her independence, staying in her own apartment, and not falling all over Cam. You go, girl!
