Max Goldstein has been confronted by death, betrayal, and unwanted expectations. He must work to find the delicate balance of a love that has been tested and a family that has been broken. Returning to the warmth of Wilson's arms, he finds the only place he can be truly healed. Unfortunately, teetering on the edge of losing everything he's ever wanted, Max must make decisions that pull at his sense of responsibility and push at his desire to protect the life he's found with Wilson.When Wilson Mooney is thrust into adulthood, she never expects her childhood demons to come knocking. Struggling to balance the delicate nature of her relationship with Max and the burning sting of betrayal; Wilson realizes she must dig deep within her soul to find forgiveness. Will she allow circumstances out of her control to shape her future? Or will she find the strength and maturity to go beyond eighteen and have the life she desires with the man she loves?Will Wilson and Max ever get to have their happily ever after?I must say that The Wilson Mooney Series is by far one of my favorites.  Max Goldstein has held a SPECIAL place in my heart since I read the first book (ALMOST EIGHTEEN) over a year ago. I'm really sad that the series is over because I don't have my fix of Max.I was really nervous about this book. I wasn't sure what to expect but I knew that Gretchen would NOT disappoint...& she DID NOT!!!The 2nd book (EIGHTEEN AT LAST) left me devastated. I wanted book 3 like NOW...The anticipation would leave butterflies in my stomach and I just didn't know what was going to happen with Max & Wilson. & I NEEDED TO KNOW. They had been through so much & I wasn't sure how much more their relationship could take. Then to throw Cindy and Nick into the mix and boom..it seemed doomed.Max & Wilson had a lot of issues to work through, and at times, I felt like I was intruding on them. Once they worked through all the "wrong" they had done to one another, it was worth the wait. I love these two characters and it's really hard for me to write this review because of it. I have all these emotions for these two characters that it's hard to put into words what this series has meant to me. I still think of Wilson & Max and I'm hoping that sweet, Ms. Gretchen, will write us a Novella or even a book 4 to let us know how Max & Wilson are doing.I'm sad it's over & I'm so glad I came across this series. Max is right at the top of my BOOK BOYFRIEND LIST & that is where he will always stay. I love Gretchen and her writing style. She is one of my FAVORITE authors. There are a lot of things that I love about her. What I love the most, is that she interacts with her fans. She genuinely cares about us & THAT MEANS A LOT!!! Thank you so much, Gretchen, for bringing us Max...& Wilson of course. You have a special place in my heart. THANKS AGAIN..YOU ROCK!!!!OF COUSE I GIVE BEYOND EIGHTEEN 5 CRAZIE STARS
