Now this is the perfect way to kick off 2025! I adore Liese’s books and this series. This was the perfect conclusion and I’m not going to lie I’m so sad that it’s over! While you don’t have to read the previous books I definitely recommend them.

Juliet’s happily ever after may actually be my favorite of the three books. This book starts off with her still hiding out in Scotland healing from heartbreak where she meets the handsome, shy Will. She’s not ready to put herself out there yet but when they meet months later in her very own backyard she is beginning to see a glimpse of a possible happy future. Let me tell you Will is the ultimate book boyfriend. There are so many swoon worthy moments in this book. It’s just a perfect romance. One of my favorite aspects to Liese’s books is that she writes so many diverse characters. If you are looking for a book with a HEA this is it!
