I loved the conclusion of Josh and Kat’s story… mostly! There were parts during the beginning but by the end- amazing! It was also great to get the Morgan family in this one. After reading all their books and Jonas/Sarah’s story, I loved seeing some of those scenes I’ve already read about from Josh and Kat. They’re a fantastic couple and I love them both so much! Highly recommend this series and definitely recommend listening to them!

3.5 stars!

The trilogy as a whole though is 4 stars. I honestly loved Kat and Josh. They were so much fun together and they had so much passion and heat between them. My only critique about this trilogy is that by the end they were so explosive that I just wanted them to figure their stuff out which got a little annoying. I still love all the Morgan's and I can't wait to read the Club series and the Reed Rivers trilogy. Slowly but surely making my way through Lauren Rowe's backlist

Ahhh! Last book of this effingly swoony series. I'm not sure I'm ready to let go yet but here we are at the end. I was not ready for the Faraday brothers when I started and now I am not ready to say bye-bye.

In this book, Josh and Kat's relationship finally took to a more serious turn. And they were not ready for it. As much as I enjoy the banter between Party Girl and Playboy, it was rather painful watching these two develop real feelings for each other (or finally admitting they had real feelings for each other from the start) and not knowing what to do about them. So many things were happening, one on top of the other, and I wasn't sure how well they were going to survive everything.

But I shouldn't have doubted how strong their relationship was. It may have started all physical but they were bonded way beyond that...way, way beyond. I just melt every time they make up with each other (especially knowing Kat's temper). Their mini-porno fantasies, although meant to be hot, always made me laugh. It just showed how crazy these two were. How well they fit into each other's family was also another joy to read. Who would've thought these two would make settling down feel sooo good?

There were more Faraday brothers scenes and there were more melting from my end. Ggggaaaaahhhhh! How are these brothers so hot and so awesomely written?

Thank you, Ms Rowe, for this wonderful series. I don't know why it even took me this long to finally read everything but thank you, thank you, thank you!

Where do I even begin??? This book was my favorite of their 3 books. I laughed so much with their series but especially with The Consummation. It took me a while to read this book, because I wanted to savor it like a glass of Uncle William's finest scotch. I didn't want it to be over. I'm not ready to say goodbye to everyone.


The way Josh grew in this book was amazing. He truly became the man he was meant to be and it was beautiful to watch him in moments where everything seemed to click. Kat is still amazing and fierce. I love her so much! I think what I loved the most was watching Jonas and Josh's relationship. I don't think we got alot of the with Jonas' books and I truly loved to watch them together. Chapter 26 and 27 had me bawling like a baby! Everything was just so incredibly beautiful. Thank you Lauren, for giving us that scene. I absolutely love Josh and Kat but my heart belongs to Jonas and Sarah. Josh and Kat were like my fun awesome best friends and I'm so happy I got to read their story, but Jonas is it for me. A little more about that in a minute!



Lauren, this next part is just for you. It's my love letter to you.

First, I want to say how proud I am of you lady! You have written and published 8 books in the last year *starts a slow clap* That is truly amazing! Second, I want to say thank you for writing these books. You have brought me so much joy by getting to know all of your characters. Thirdly, Thank you for giving us Jonas Faraday. By you giving us him, I have learned to love Greek mythology, Plato and Aristotle, how wonderful the alphabet can be and a new appreciation for monkeys! Sarah and Jonas' love taught me things. Jonas made me stop and look at my life. Plato's Theory of Forms, really touched me and made me open up my eyes. Seriously.... that shit blew my mind! I also want to thank you for your friendship. You are truly an amazing person with such a huge heart. You are genuine and love life! You are so positive and it rubs off on people, I can promise you that!

I'm not ready to say goodbye to these characters!!!! I really think Henny and Hannah Banana need a book! Atleast a novella *winky face* I just want to say thank you again for all that you do for us and thank you for giving us these characters. No matter how many books I read Jonas and Josh Faraday will be at the top of my list and Sarah and Kat will be at the top of my girl crush list! I can't wait to see what you have planned next! BUT after a well deserved break. *finishes with a fast clap*

The Infatuation (Josh & Kat #1) (The Club #5)
The Revelation (Josh & Kat #2) (The Club #6)
The Consummation (Josh & Kat #3) (The Club #7) by Lauren Rowe

4.5 stars!!

“We’re the greatest love story ever told – our love is the wonder of the wise, the joy of the good, the amazement of the gods.”


I love Lauren Rowe’s humour and I always know that I am going to be laughing out loud when I read one of her books and this series is no different. It is this humour that really balances the angst and the heat within this series pages.

For those that are staunch fans of The Club Series, you will know that the first four books in this series centred around Jonas Faraday, Jonas was the serious one, the deep one, the sensitive one, the one that had been hurt by the past and relied on the loyalty and support of his brother to even focus and live at times, of course he now has his wife, Sarah, but Josh was always there and now it is his turn to shine.

“I’ve carried my brother’s sanity on my back my whole fucking life, even when I’ve barely been able to hold the weight of my own. And I’m tired.”


Josh Faraday is a bit of a jack the lad, a playboy, but underneath that façade, a toned body and pretty face is a man that is also deep and has that mysterious air about him, he is an enigma. He was one pretty parcel I wanted to unwrap layer by layer until the question was answered. Who was Josh Faraday?

Kat is Sarah’s best friend and we have already seen interaction between these two through Jonas’s story. Kat was the party girl with a hyphen. Kat is the total opposite of Sarah, she is confident, sassy, can give as good as she gets and has a fantastic sense of humour. She can really go to bat against Josh and at times it was hard to see who had actually won. Their text messages, their phone calls all had me in hysterics at times as well as feeling that intense sexual chemistry that always surrounded them.

“I'm not a girl who likes to be chewed up and spit out by any man. If anyone's gonna do the chewing up and spitting out, then it's gonna be me.”


There is some crossover with Jonas’s story and I would highly recommend reading that series first, it also cements just how pivotal Josh and Kat are in Jonas and Sarah’s world. While some events were familiar seeing them through different eyes gave a fresh insight into the Faraday’s as a whole and not once did it feel repetitive.

Lauren Rowe really delivers with Josh and Kat’s story. This is one couple that you can’t help but fall in love with. Their rapport is undeniable, they feed off each other and their dialogue at times is like watching a game of tennis but with many laughs rather than oooo’s and ahhhh’s. But with this couple Lauren Rowe delivers another facet to their story, as ever, she delivers on the emotional and the angst. At times it was frustrating but you know you have to take the rough with the smooth, all relationships have their ups and downs and these two are no different. With that undeniable fire that rages between them both in and outside of the bedroom you knew that these two would be combustible.

“From the minute I laid eyes on Josh, I felt like I’d hopped aboard a bullet train. Well, it looks like our train just jumped the tracks. And now there’s only one possible outcome. Crash.”


So the question on everybody’s lips is who is your favourite Faraday? My answer…impossible choice. These brothers are totally different and are totally endearing in their own way. But one thing that Lauren Rowe delivered was another fantastic series. As each book Lauren Rowe releases comes out I can see the growth in her writing, that deeper emotional connection with her characters and her character development as a whole, intertwine that with all that zany kind of Lauren Rowe humour and you have a match made in heaven. Sometimes you just click with an author’s writing style and that is what I have done with Lauren Rowe, while some may say the fun factor is a bit over the top, for me it just has me in hysterics as it resonates deep with the child inside. So yes, I laughed a lot, I swooned a lot, I cried a lot but most of all I loved a lot. These characters have made such an impact and it is a sad day knowing that this series has come to an end. However, I am going to beg Lauren for Hen’s story. I want to know all about the man behind the computer, the geek, the nerd, but a man with a heart of gold.

“My wish for you both is that you find eternal light outside the cave together.”

"Kuchen ist das wahre Leben!"

Nicht ganz so schlimm wie die Vorgänger (nicht ganz so eklig), aber die groben Merkmale sind noch die selben.
Was mich aber wieder einmal massiv gestört hat, waren die Zeitsprünge. In einem Moment passiert eine Sache und man erwartet, dass weiter darauf eingegangen wird, aber die Erzählung springt Monate in die Zukunft und es geht um etwas ganz Anderes. Hätte ich die Bücher um Kats Brüder nicht schon gelesen, wäre ich gar nicht hinterhergekommen.

What is my life now?

I feel like my heart is going to burst out of my chest. I’m so conflicted in my emotions. On the one hand I’m so happy to have finished this epic love story, but so sad and emo at the same time. This truly was unlike any other that I’ve read, and I can honestly say that. Lauren Rowe just speaks to me in a deep real way through her characters. The Club Series is one that I will reread, and listen to often. Also, Lauren and John Lane slay all day on audio. These two are definitely a dynamic duo, and brought this to a whole new reading level for me. To actually read the words while listening at the same time—what an experience!! Infinite stars I give this series. Josh&Kat “forevvblahhh.”

5+ stars The Infatuation #1
5+ stars The Revelation #2
5+ stars 🤩 The Consummation #3


The Playboy aka PB and The Party Girl with a Hyphen aka PG cemented my love for Ms. Rowe! Consistent and brilliant writing, sharp and quick wit, interesting theme, and well-developed characters.
😍


〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

Crazy af, funny, emotional rollercoaster ride on book 3. ❤️


“I can’t wait to see you.”

“Same here. I’ve missed you,” I say. I clutch my chest. Jesus, I can barely breathe.

“Josh, I’ve missed you so much,” she whispers. “I’ve been feeling like I’m dying.”

“Me, too, babe. Exactly. I’ve been in physical pain without you. You have no idea.” I can hear her smiling over the phone line, even as she sniffles.

“Really?”

“Hell yes. I’ve been miserable.”


〰️〰️

“I love you with all my heart and soul, Kat.

“I love you to the moon and back again,” I say.


〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️


I've read The Josh and Kat Trilogy before The Club Series which features Josh's brother Jonas, and Kat's best friend Sarah as the MCs. Their stories are different and I did not feel like I missed out on something. There are also some cameos of characters from Ms. Rowe's other books.

PB and PG both have strong and confident personalities, gorgeous with sexy minds, tough outside but soft inside; together they're a riot, and insanely hot power couple. I laugh every time I remember their hilarious times.😂 Tons of cheesy, crazyyy goodness! Josh and Kat are really perfect for each other, together florebaaaah! ❤️❤️


I've read this trilogy some time ago so my review is generic for the 3 books except for the excerpts.

〰️〰️〰️

⚠️ spoiler alert ⚠️warning ⚠️


Safe?

▪️OW/OM scenes but technically not cheating.
▪️There are couple scenes of h/OM kissing, OM2 making out and OM3 dinner date.
▪️After they met, H/h both slept once with other people. Mentions only, NO explicit scenes.
▪️When they're finally "together" , H/h only slept with each other. Their first was around 70% of book 1.
▪️A role play scene with OW in books 2 and 3. No worries because those scenes are frickin hilarious! 😂

I'm so addicted to this series and the characters. I'm happy to hear that Reed and Morgan brothers get their own series. Now the only thing I feel like I need to read all the books asap. I wish there was more hours in the day. Lauren Rowe has now moved herself to being one of my favorite authors.

I feel for Kat because I feel like Josh is going to react stupidly to her news. You definitely will want to cry or cry when you get to Sarah and Jonas wedding. My lord I'm here an emotional mess almost crying hysterical. Jonas and Joshua always needed love in their lives.

I'm happy Joshua grew up and figured all he ever needed was Kat. Then she realized she is actual marriage material that Garrett was a jerk.

YOU WILL BE HOOKED!!! TRUE LOVE FOR ALL AMAZING!!"
I downloaded and listened to the Audio book

Love this book... by far my favorite of the series....I own all the audio books from the series... Amazing story line a must listen to or read for all..... Amazing Series that will leave you wanting more!!!!!!


Kat is a force to reckoned with... she takes nothing from anyone knows what she wants and goes for it!!!!.... Finding your hears desire and bringing it to life learning to love and being able to express yourself openly without fear of judgement... AMAZING!!!

For Audible listeners
Lauren and John bring the added emotion to the story... The edge and heartfelt warmth so you can feel the true emotional connection the Lauren has with each character in the books....

This is by far my favorite book in the series of 7.... I have listened to each of the books many times over...but I will tell you that when Josh truly opens his heart to Kat and express his love with heartfelt tears showing his fears I was truly touched. Lauren was able to get that much expression out of Josh's character known as the Playboy with a heart of gold you never expect him to truly open up with such depth....


Spoiler ALERT!!!!
My absolute favorite Josh going to such length to propose... OK so read the book or listen to the book because there is no way I can really spoil how amazing and wonderful this part truly is... WOW Lauren..... just WOW LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!!

Lauren you are so gifted this was an amazing story and you truly are
THE DIVINE ORIGINAL FORM

Thank you for a GREAT series and an AMAZING storyLauren Rowe Lauren Rowe

Lauren Rowe is one of my favorite authors. I have loved everything she has written. She may take a vacant spot on my "Mount Rushmore" of authors [King, Patterson, Hoover have the 1st 3]. Her books are steamy, sweet, suspenseful, witty and everything in between.

The Consummation is the conclusion of Josh & Kat's story and The Club series. When I started there story I didnt think it possible that they could surpass Jonas and Sarah...but they did! Josh is loyal, put everyone 1st, partying manwhore. Kat is the witty, ballsy, badass hot chick with a heart of gold. Nicknamed the Playboy & the Party Girl for a reason.

When a family emergency strikes Kat it is then she unveils her secret to Josh and to say Josh took it well, well would be an understatement. When he realizes his mistake and tries to rectify it she wont let him so he pulls out the big guns to prove to her how much the baby and even more, she, means to him. Then how he seals the final deal is over the top romantic and EPIC

This is an tremendous conclusion to one of my all time favorite series. MUST READ SERIES

Searching for words...

This was the perfect end to a fantastic story. Very bitter sweet because it is the final book. Lauren Rowe has truly created the best characters ever with this series and I feel like I want to cry. The title of this book is completely perfect because by the time you finish, you truly are consumed with J & K. Josh proves that he is willing to go to any length for Kat and that is what made my heart soar and place this book above all. He went from God's gift to women and the ultimate Batchelor, to God's gift to Kat and the ultimate one woman man. These two ARE the definition of "soulmates". I am so very thankful to Lauren Rowe for this amazing journey and the perfect end to The Club Series.

I loved both trilogies in the Club series, but I really enjoyed how fun loving Kat and Josh were. I could really see their connection and even though they both made mistakes, they truly loved one another and I liked how they were able to pull each other back from whatever downfall they had.

Overall, Consummation was a solid book. It was fun to read, had lots of flirty banter, and had good smut. I really enjoyed getting to know the Morgan family better. They were absolutely hilarious and adorable.

It was satisfying getting to see Josh and Kat’s relationship progress to new lengths. Although I already knew what ultimately happens to Josh and Kat in the end, I didn’t know how they got to that point. At the beginning of the book, I thought Josh was acting really dumb. Looking back, I realize that he was actually just behaving in the only way he knew how. The marriage proposal at end of the book definitely made up for his childlike behavior. The proposal itself was SO cute and thoughtful. I was totally swooning right alongside Kat.

The reason I didn’t give Consummation five stars is because part of the book was too cheesy for my taste. I cringed whenever Kat started referring to Josh as “my love.” Sarah is the one who always calls Jonas “my love,” and now Kat is doing it too...? Ugh. It’s so old school and sappy. I don’t know. It would be different if the girls only called their husbands “my love” once or twice, but that’s not what happened. Nope. They said it over and over and over. Ugh.

Another complaint that I had was something that I’ve witnessed in many of Rowe’s books: a character has a sudden, crazy revelation about their love for their significant other. Said character then proceeds to say “I love you” over and over and over. And over. And over. And over, to the point of insanity. Not on the character’s part, but on mine.

Like, is that really how it works in real life? Do people honestly have a mind blowing revelation in which they discover the depth of their feelings for another person? It just seems so cheesy and far fetched. Plus, it’s not necessary to say “I love you” a million times. I’m pretty sure the reader gets the point.

Anyways, this was a good series with lots of fun scenes and adorable moments. I’m kinda sad that it’s over.

Als sich Joshs größte Angst für Kat zur Realität entwickelt,
ist die Hoffnung auf eine gemeinsame Zukunft dem Untergang geweiht.
Der positive Schwangerschaftstest ist das Ergebnis ihrer wilden und ungezügelten Leidenschaft.
Doch Josh wollte nie eine Beziehung, Liebe, Kinder …
Für Kats Wohl zu sorgen, ist das Eine, doch eine Chance auf die große Liebe …?

Mit „The Club – Passion“ geht die Liebe von Kat Morgan und Josh Faraday in die dritte und letzte Runde

Das Cover rundet die Reihe mit seiner kühlen Eleganz ab.
Der Klappentext weckt die Neugierde und verspricht eine intensive Geschichte.

Nach dem Ende des Vorgängers gab es kein Vorbeikommen an den letzten Teil der Reihe.
Joshs und Kats Story hat mich von vornherein mitgenommen auf eine Achterbahn der Gefühle!

Erneut war ich von Beginn an, von Joshs und Kats Geschichte gefesselt!
Der Schreibstil ist gewohnt locker und angenehm.
Mit den Sichtweisen von Kat und Josh erhält der Leser einen tollen Einblick
in die Gedanken und Gefühle der Protagonisten.
Die Story geht dabei rasant in die Vollen
und hinterlässt beim Leser ein Wechselbad der Gefühle.
Gefangen zwischen Hoffen und Bangen,
Josh zum Himmel schießen,
lustigen Familientreffen mit der Familie Morgan
sowie sexy und ausgefallen Spielen zwischen Kat und Josh,
und wachsenden Muttergefühlen
entsteht eine mitreißende und unterhaltsame Geschichte.
Dabei geht es genauso witzig, chaotisch,
heiß, unterhaltsam und verrückt weiter wie schon in den ersten beiden Teilen.
Die Seiten fliegen nur so dahin.
Die Liebesgeschichte von Kat und Josh
ist wie eine bittersüße Sucht.
Man will wissen, wie es weitergeht
und gleichzeitig nicht, dass es endet!
Ich liebe dieses verrückte Paar und ihre wahnsinnig tolle Lovestory!

Ich vergebe 5 von 5 Sterne.

Avec Consécration, il est temps de dire aux revoir aux personnages que nous avons découvert au fil des tomes du Club. Lauren Rowe conclut sa saga avec tous les personnages emblématiques car même s'il s'agit bien d'un tome sur Josh et Kat, nous aurons aussi le plaisir d'assister à des moments intenses entre Jonas et Sarah.

j'ai passé un moment très agréable de lecture. Plus aucune menace extérieure ne viendra entacher cette relation et il faudra donc que les personnages règlent leur problématique afin d'aller de l'avant. La boucle est bouclée pour les Farraday mais nous avons aussi une ouverture vers les Morgan car les frères de notre héroïne nous promettent aussi de belles histoires.

Finding forever!

When Kat discovers she's pregnant will this signal the end of the fun times she's having with Josh? Or will this signal the forever after they both secretly crave? When Josh realises that he'd be lost without Kat, he pulls out all the stops to try and win her agreement to marriage. This was a great culmination of the Josh and Kat story with hilarity, chemistry and swoony moments every person longs for!

This book is when Josh and Kat's relationship went from some fling to a real relationship. It was not a change that they were completely ready for so it was interesting seeing them navigate the change. In the end I was glad that they were able to figure it out. I love seeing the Morgan family in this book and the supporting characters were fantastic! Great ending to the series.

I'm done. DNF на 63%. Нямам намерение да си губя времето с още една малоумна и скучно написана книга от Лорън Роу, в която не се говори за нищо друго освен за умопомрачително затъпяващи и скучни злободневия.

Това е най-ужасната, зле написана и откровено неприятна книга, която съм слушала. Дори не искам да навлизам в подробности за всичко нередно в нея (което, вярвайте ми, хич не е малко) .

Мисля да приключа с авторката като цяло. Започнах с много добро мнение за нея, но колкото повече книги прочитах, толкова повече ми се разваляше мнението. Вече съм на етап "предпочитам да се разделим, докато все още тая в себе си някакви приятни спомени от времето, прекарано с теб".

Чао, чао, Лорън Роу! Дано не се видим отново скоро.

I was given an ARC to read for my honest review...

This pretty much sums it all up for me ...


Let's just talk about the cover for a quick moment ... Scorchingly HOT!!! Josh Faraday can I have your babies pa pa please!!! Lauren Rowe you've outdone yourself with this genetic lottery winner ... seriously eye candy at it's BEST!!! Bravo, my friend!! BRAVO!!!



This was the perfect ending to the perfect book!! I blew through the first 150 pages or so the first night I received the book. This was a book anyone could easily pick up and devour in one sitting. But for some reason it hit me that this is the conclusion, the FINAL installment and I didn't want it to end. I absolutely wanted to savor every last word!!! This was totally me at this point .... Lauren Rowe ....


So there I was I had the holy grail in my possession and it just sat idle. I had to pull it together. I know Lauren Rowe described The Club, the Love Story of Sweet Jonas and Sarah as the Most EPIC Love Story EVER told, and I couldn't agree with her more. But then she told the sweetest, most electrifying, scorching HOT & in my eyes the most EPIC Love story every written of Josh & Kat. I felt like I had to put myself in a Faraday Rehab and to pace myself with this final book. There I was not reading it at lightening speed. Hell there were days that passed and I couldn't bring myself to finish it. Why?!?! Crazy, Right?!!?! It was seriously a place in time that I never wanted to escape. Lauren Rowe pulled at my heart strings with Josh & Kat's love story. I felt all kinds of emotions. Their ups and their downs. I felt it all a 110%!!! But most of all ... It was scorchingly HOT!!! EPIC!!!


I was totally fangirling it like no other. Every moment in their love story with so much raw chemistry you couldn't just read their love story and walk away. Although, it took me way longer than it should have to read ... that had NOTHING to do with the quality of the final installment. One might say I have commitment issues. Finishing the book felt so final. I wasn't prepared to know how they got to the place they did in Book 4 of Jonas & Sarah's love story. We already learned that Josh & Kat were married and had a baby. Oh goodness one of the cutest. So to hear all the final details and to make this story come full circle I had to read on. And let me tell you Mrs. Rowe didn't leave a single detail not addressed. Every line had me like ...


and of course thinking to myself ... Lauren Rowe ... You ...


The Proposal .... SWOON!!! Oh my goodness!!!


At the end .... I thought .... How?!?!? Seriously, how does Lauren Rowe do it?!?! Every book was the best book I've ever read, then I'd read the next and instantly that was my new FAVE!!! Lauren Rowe had me at the 1st page of Book One!! Little did I know then she'd become my favorite author of all times. I've read many books in this genre and NOT one comes any where close to how amazing her books are. Through her gift of her writing style ... you'll be truly captivated by every last word she writes. She's hella witty, creative and damn she can just write stories that you just want to crawl and live inside those pages. It's crazy!!

I’m gutted, absolutely gutted that our journey is over, it’s been 5 days and I’m still pining for my Party Girl with a hyphen, Kitty Kat come back… I know we all have those fictional book boyfriends that stay with us (Josh is no exception), but Kat Morgan is my book BFF, we will be friends for life.

It’s taken me nearly a week to try and articulate a review, and this has been my most difficult to date, you need to have read all the previous books to fully appreciate Lauren’s gift at not only telling a story from 2 POV (4 POV if you include books 1-4), but also her amazing talent and ability bringing individuality to each book and bringing those characters to life chapter by chapter.



The last instalment was beautiful, it still captured all the hilarity that make Jonas and Kat connect, the witty one liners still in abundance, I just love how much you can make me laugh out loud just through words on a page, but so was the romance, this book contained some of the best written tender displays of love and affection I’ve read.

Love Monkey’s no more Josh, Kat, Jonas, Sarah and Henn (I do love Henn). Lauren your guys grabbed my heart and crushed it by book 7, however, every cloud has a silver lining and my vagina can finally calm the 'F' down, you Lady Lauren top the charts at red hot sex scenes, every single one had me clinching my thighs together, in a crotch dripping mess.

Jonas and Sarah made my top reads of 2015, I know Josh and Kat will be on 2016’s list.



Lauren Rowe I said it before in my reviews and I’ll say it again, tu mi completi!

p.s. this would be my Henn

***I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review!***

At long last, and not much of a long wait at all, we have reached the CULMINATION of this heartfelt, poignant and beautiful series! This is the last book of one of my ALL-TIME FAVORITE series EVER, and although I am beyond saddened to see this end, I am so excited that we get the happily ever after we have been waiting for! This book was both heartbreaking and immensely satisfying! It was everything I was hoping for and more!

After the pulse-pounding ending of The Revelation, I was on the edge of my seat to see how things were going to go. I mean, I knew that they would get their happy ending (as does anyone who read The Culmination), but it was all about the journey for me. How were they going to go from pure bliss to complete and utter desolation and end up with a love that is absolutely breathtaking?

This book had one of the best "win back my girl" scenes ever. I was cracking up so hard, while metaphorically holding my breath to see if it would work. Let's just say that Madame Terrorist doesn't back down so easily. After all of the back and forth game playing, she is determined to have something real with Josh-not just the fantasy. I loved when they did everyday normal things that couples do-playing scrabble, traveling with friends and family, etc. It showed that their relationship was much deeper than many people would have thought. It wasn't just about sex. It was about acceptance, learning to love yourself with all your faults and demons, and looking to the future rather than being stuck in the past.

This book had so many highs and lows-weddings, proposals, unexpected pregnancies, and family drama. I experienced every spectrum of emotion while reading this story, which for me, is highly unusual. It takes a lot to make me cry-different scenes had tears of joy and sorrow streaming from my eyes. It was almost emotion overload, but that is one thing I love about this author's writing style. She has the ability to completely captivate her readers, and render them speechless. I have to say that when Josh and Kat's wedding rolled around I was literally blown away. I adore Jonas and Sarah, and their wedding was phenomenal, but this wedding and the emotions that were displayed-sigh! Josh and Kat together are unstoppable! All of the walls came down in this book, and when they did, it was utter magnificence! If the author was seeking perfection in this book, she certainly achieved it.

I loved that we were introduced to the Morgan family in great detail. I fell for them all! Except for Peen! Okay, maybe even him too. I really hope to see more of them in the future. The interactions between the siblings and their parents are simply hilarious! I mean, what more would you expect in a family full of dudes that helped raise the precocious Kat?

There was one scene in this book that bothered me because I was completely unprepared for it, and even though I didn't care for it, I understand how the characters got there. It was something that was necessary for them to get past the last bit of uncertainty holding them back. For that, I cannot fault the author for including it, and it didn't take away from my overall enjoyment while reading this book!

I could continue to tell you how amazing I thought this book was, but REALLY, you need to just start reading it already!
