"A great end to this families' series. I've been not-so-patiently waiting for Steven's story. Long, like the others, but for some reason, with this one, it seemed necessary. She had to tie everyone's story off, not just your main characters - since we've been with this family through 5 books."

— Darla, 12/22/2013" This wrapped up the romances of all the O'Conners. They've been a fun family to get to know. Maybe somewhere down the road Henry & Gabe's stories could be told. I guess I would just like to go and visit and see how they're all doing. "
— Lisa, 12/18/2013" I really loved this book. it was romantic, clean and uplifting. I would LOVE my teen daughter to read this book, just for the consequences of good and bad choices. I love Lessman. Great author. "
— Nellie, 8/21/2013" This was a wonderful book and I did not want it to end. I'm sad to see the O'Connor series end, but I really love how it did end. "
