The end didn't leave me as excited for the next book as the end of the 1st book did. I don't normally like historical fiction but I liked this one. I know some people hated this but I think it was decent and I like the way the characters grew.

I wish there would've been more build up to the relationship. It all happened too fast for my liking.

I had such high hopes for this that I was left feeling underwhelmed. It felt like filler and there were too many parts that frustrated me. 

There was also the repetitiveness of the line "How did I know I would find you here?" from multiple guys that it just got annoying. 

I was happy with the end but I hated how long it had to be dragged out until they could get their happily ever after.

What a great ending to this series. I enjoyed this book more than the first two. I finally got the closure I needed and I love what Avery did with her fortune in the end.
