It was a torturous wait to get back to Max and Wilson's story, and I was so excited to finally get my hands on Beyond Eighteen!  After seeing Wilson's actions send Max packing in Eighteen at Last, I was so nervous that this was going to be a really painful journey back for them.  Thankfully, my heart made it out unscathed and these two great characters didn't lose their way!Wilson was really torturing herself this time around; after having her heated moment with Nick thrown in Max's face by none other than witch Cindy, she felt guilt from all sides.  Both Max and his family had been through something so traumatic, and they needed her to be there, yet she left and allowed herself to be seduced by another man.  Yeah, it was a bad situation, but thankfully Max isn't some immature and vindictive boyfriend.  I loved that Max didn't hold it against Wilson throughout the whole book, so that she would have to earn his trust back through painful rejections.  This was more about them finding their way as a couple, officially.Max's job situation played a big role, as his father's death left the family business floundering unless he took the reigns.  Max is so not the corporate businessman type, but apparently even in death his father wasn't willing to admit that to himself!  Poor Max really grappled with a lot of difficult decisions and drama, between working things out with Wilson, his family's loss, and deciding what his role would be (if any) in the company.  And Wilson was trying to make up for not being there as he dealt with the loss of his father, but she had family issues of her own popping up that she wasn't expecting.  Someone from her past was back to be a part of her life, and in the midst of everything she had to confront her feelings about her grandparents and decisions they had made for her.  There was all kinds of emotional baggage on both sides of the relationship, but I loved seeing them just be there for each other!Since Max and Wilson no longer had anything stopping them from being together, wow oh wow did they take advantage!! And seeing just how dirty Max's mind is now that he could have his way with his girl...mmmmhmmm!! These two had some seriously sexy moments together, and with all that anticipation building up over the course of their time together, it was HOT!Beyond Eighteen was a great wrap-up to the series, and if you haven't yet met Max and Wilson, I highly recommend you grab up first installment Almost Eighteen and dive right in!!Quotes:God, he was my forever.  He was every breath I needed to take and every pulse that kept my blood pumping.  He was the home I always wanted to have. ~ Loc 162When I saw her on the stairs I couldn't keep my heart from thundering in my chest, my body surging with need for her; I had to stop myself from collapsing at her feet.  I love her, and when I look at her, I see everything I've ever wanted--everything. ~Loc 201
