Review: fun and ultimately satisfactory read, this is the last of the series but can be read as a stand-alone book

I’m just modern enough to understand the ‘marriage for security’ concept and find it loathesome. Nothing to me is more self-defeating than determining you will never be able to stand on your own and support yourself, so marriage is the next best bet.  Setting yourself up for a lifetime of ‘meh’, as if you don’t deserve more and even more important is the ridiculous reliance on a relationship that is anything BUT a sure thing.  So the premise and Phoebe’s initial intentions instantly rubbed me the wrong way.Exes have that name for a reason, and while I understood Phoebe’s willingness to reexamine her past relationship, and her confusion, it was one of those moments when I just knew that his return would herald no good.Marcus for his part seemed to take his surprise at the cancellation really well, even if he was deeply wounded, and his attempts to show Phoebe the depth of his true feelings for her, even as she is enmeshed in a web of confusion, wishful thinking and has closed her own eyes to see the truth of her own reactions to Marcus.Slowly and carefully, with plenty of moments that many will be able to relate to their own stories, Nicole Flockton manages to walk us through the story, and we see Phoebe’s slow realization of the truth, and that she and Marcus are meant to be together.  In fact, there are several moments when a solid whack on the head to both characters would not go amiss, and that, to me signals the author has done a good job crafting her story and characters.A fun and ultimately satisfactory read, this is the last of the series but can be read as a stand-alone book, and is certain to become a favorite of many.  I received an eBook title from the author for purpose of honest review for Tasty Book Tours. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.
