Forever Mass Market; $7.99;
The Bachelors of Arizona Book 3
A second-chance romance from the #1 New York Times bestseller of The Bet, Matchmaker and Elite series!
She's everywhere.
Ex-wife.
Love of his life.
The last person in the world he wanted to see...ever.
And now that he's working beside her every day, he can't escape her. Her scent, glimpses of her smile, even the tension in the air that makes his body hum with the kind of need he'd only experienced with one person-all of it is driving him over the edge.
Brant Wellington was certain of three things:
Alcohol wasn't going to solve this.
He really was losing his F-ing mind.
And his gorgeous ex-wife was going to be the death of him.
It was Brant.
Always Brant.
Maybe that was because they’d never had any real closure. Just fighting, yelling, and then silence.
God, she’d hated the silence so much more than the yelling.
The silence crackled with tension—it was always filled with more meaning than when words were actually spoken.
It wasn’t the yelling that had killed their relationship.
It was the silence that had followed. When he had every opportunity to fix it—and didn’t.
Why was it so hard to move on? Probably because she hadn’t tried.
Instead, she’d worked. Tried to stay positive. And hoped.
Damn hope. Stupid hope.
“He’s not coming back for me,” she whispered, knowing that if she finally admitted he wasn’t coming, she would have to take her part of the blame in why. Because it wasn’t just on him to come running back. A small part of her knew that it was her job to meet him halfway. Instead, she’d ignored the need in his eyes, the desperate plea in his voice, and allowed grief to swallow her whole. Because at the time she’d needed someone to blame, and it was easier blaming him than herself.
This book although it was the end for the Wellington brothers, was so worth getting the final words and the ending it deserved. The thing I most enjoyed in this book is the banter between the characters, everything they did and said flowed together so well. I am sad to see it end but can't wait to see what RVD has in store for us next.
Brant and Nikki have a past that they tried to escape alone, but when fate brings them back together can Brant let go of the guilt he harbors? Can Nikki learn forgiveness and move forward with Brant?

As you know from The Bachelor Auction, all three brothers were put as auction items - a "win a date with".
Brant's winning bidder is his ex wife. The woman he was madly in love with against his families wishes. Tragedy upon tragedy befell them and with nowhere to turn, Brant turned to booze.
He's been so lost, and feels so guilty for everything that happened between him and Nikki, he struggles to surface. But when the two of them are "stuck together" there is no denying that the attraction is still there.
Can Brant get his act together? Can Nikki forgive him from the past?
Definitely one click for this series conclusion.
I couldn't wait for book three of this series and I absolutely loved it. I think honestly it was my favorite of the set. It can be read as a standalone, but I do recommend reading the others just so that you get the full experience and can get to know all of the characters fully.
Brant is the brother that drowns himself in alcohol trying to forget his feelings of guilt and of failing his ex-wife, Nikki. He blames himself for everything that happened during their marriage...and he still loves her. When she wins the bid at the bachelor auction and wins him, they are just as drawn together as they ever were. But will Brant move on with his life? Can Nikki forgive him? Or will it all fall apart again?
The chemistry between the characters is undeniable and I absolutely loved their interaction. The story flowed well and moved at a great pace, and I couldn't put the book down. Once again Rachel Van Dyken has painted a new world with her words and we can drown in them. 4.5 stars. I recommend one clicking this one today!
