Wow… what a bunch of “Drama Mamas!” and yep, that doesn’t just include the women.  I really wanted to fall in love with the relationship between Tate and Sav… and even though I did like them as individuals…it’s just that the way they behaved towards each other and how they handled themselves seemed more like what you’d expect from a high school boyfriend/girlfriend relationship than that of two mature adults.  Ok, I understand and even expect conflict to appear in romance novels…it’s just part & parcel for the genre, but when the two main love interest characters are constantly having such deep and soul-sharing interactions with their “purest & truest” love…it just doesn’t mesh with the almost “mountain from a molehill” seemingly contrived & mostly preventable problems they seem to keep stumbling into.  That being said, this is the 3rd and I’m assuming last book to this series with the two main characters, Tate & Sav, being the focus of all three; so, I’m guessing that the author just wanted to throw everything at these characters prior to allowing them their HEA and end the series on a bang.  Unfortunately, for me, it just seemed as if I was reading about two different couples from the 1st & 2nd book to the 3rd, almost like watching a TV series, connecting with the two actors that portray the main couple, then suddenly, the original actors are gone and two different actors are playing the characters.  It’s not necessarily a bad thing…just different.Overall, I did enjoy the story and felt a sense of closure for Tate & Sav when I finished the book.  I also enjoyed the other characters in the book as well and especially that Tate was able to finally find some resolution with his Father.  The one thing that I’m still kinda scratching my head over is how things ended with Chelsea... it just seem a bit implausible for her to have gone to  such lengths and with such persistence in her attempts to break-up Tate & Sav, to just walk away like she had some great epiphany to her “evil ways” and agree to everything Tate and Sav had been wanting from her.  Well, maybe that was for the best… goodness knows that I don’t think Tate & Sav’s relationship could have withstood another onslaught from Chelsea.Please understand, it’s not that I didn’t like this book, I just enjoyed the 1st & 2nd books so much more.  It just seemed that Tate & Sav lost something in their relationship from then til now…3 stars ~Kathy
