My Thoughts

I loved this book it was the perfect ending to this series. 

When we first meet Wesley in this first book he seems content to be a younger brother of plantation owner Travis Stanford however we learn in this book he really wants to be his own man. To build his own plantation care for his own family and be someone. 

We also meet Leah in the first book she is a young girl abused by her father but still finds a way to help Wesley and of course, falls in love with a man he feels is her knight. What we learn about Leah is she is a strong woman who not only survives the abuse but takes care of her family the best she can.

When fate brings Wesley and Leah together again they both learn quickly that what they truly want isn't always so clear. Watching these two grow and learn about one another was fun. I also love that we got to return to SweetBriar and reconnect with other characters I fell in love with. 

Overall this the the perfect ending to a wonderful series. I can't wait to return and revisit these characters again and again.
