First I have to start this review with completely bashing myself. How the heck did I not know there was going to be a fourth book?? I mean, I love Colin “F$%$#” Montgomery and Caroline “Charlie” Collins so to find out there is still another part of their story to be told was A-MAZ-ING! Yes, that means there is a slight cliffhanger but not one that should deter you from reading this amazeballs book!When Layne emailed me about reading “Finding Infinity,” I squealed. Yes, I’m a grown woman and I squealed like a little kid. But as readers I am sure you understand that feeling you get when one of your favorite authors releases another installment in one of your favorite series. For me, this is that scenario! The Infinity series is a beautifully written love story full of broken dreams and promises, heartbreaking decisions, family drama, young love, emotional and mental struggles and so much more! But in each installment, Layne has made us fall in love with these characters all over again. Not just because the love story is so beautiful but the characters themselves have so much to learn and so much to teach us."Finding Infinity" picks up with Charlie having moved to Dallas after the aftermath of publicly dating Colin. Colin is playing football but Charlie is at loose ends. Not practicing medicine, a house like a hotel, moving into Colin's world, she struggles for control. As you read the series, you will understand why that is such as big issue. No matter what though, Colin is desperate to be there for Charlie, making whatever changes she needs from him.I tell you, Colin is seriously one of the most caring book boyfriends! Sexy, sincere and extremely protective, Charlie's safety, happiness and well being are the only things he thinks about beyond football. Even though this is "THE" season, the season they get to the Super Bowl, he never takes his focus off of her. The paparazzi continue to hound them, rumors continue to swirl and of course ex-girlfriends must show up.In "Finding Infinity," our favorite characters are still human. They still struggle and have to work hard to make a relationship (that's been a decade in the making!) work. I have to say, I think this might be my favorite book of the series because we get to see the vulnerable side of Colin more. His desire to marry Charlie and start a family, mixed with his drive to get to the Super Bowl, all while under the watchful eye of the public, starts to take a toll on him.As I said, this is a beautifully written series which imperfect characters so deeply in love its both painful and amazing to watch. Layne doesn't write a HEA that is all sunshine and rainbows. The characters struggle, face real problems and just because one's a football god and the other a talented doctor, doesn't mean that they automatically get everything they want.This series really touched me and made me feel like I know these characters, cheering them on from the sidelines. I eagerly, and seriously impatiently, await the end to Colin and Charlie's story and praise Layne Harper for her talented way with words!
