Rating: 5 out of 5

We met Melisa in the first two books of the "Moments in Time" series and this book is Melisa's story of getting her happily-ever-after. I had immensely enjoyed the first two books in the series and am supremely happy to say that I loved this book even better. This is the best book in the series in terms of the plot, characterization, events construction and the narration.Dori Lavelle has grown as an author which shows when you read this book. I was able to compare her previous books with this one and could clearly see the improvements. The characters are better woven, the mystery and suspense is better paced and the romance is sensuous as usual but more emotionally linked. I was pulled in the story right from the start and whenever I felt like the plot was getting predictable, the author threw a new twist in the tale and totally shocked me.I loved Melisa's growth as a character. She is more approachable and real in this book than in the previous ones. She is trying to turn her life around and willing to take proactive steps. Heat has always loved Melisa and I loved his dedication in making his relationship with Melisa work. He loves her and shows her enough times that he will do anything to take care of her. I loved their scenes together and was very happy with the overall progress in their relationship. Not that I had any say in it! :)Carlene and Nick are happily married and I just loved the new developments in their life. Carlene and Melisa's friendship is so beautifully nurtured and developed in this series. In this book, Dori introduces readers with more people from Melisa's past and I loved Melisa's long lost friends like Josie. Wrapping up all the loose ends in this book, the author does a great job in bringing this beautiful series to a closure.Although there is a sort of a cliffhanger at the end but it didn't affect my happiness at seeing two so lovely people together.All in all, a very sweet and totally engrossing love story between two people who have made their fair share of mistakes in their lives and are now trying to finally listen to their heart and turn their life around.A must read for all romance lovers, I give Bittersweet Moments a 4.5 out of 5 and look forward to reading more from this author in the future.This review is also available on the blog Njkinny's World of Books
