Cara has always been a force of nature. She loves hard and she always shows up for everyone. She is strong, independent, and dependable to the core. But sometimes the strongest people carry the heaviest pain, and it is not easy to save ourselves when we are barely breathing. And if Emmett could take Caraโ€™s pain as his own, he would do it in a heartbeat.

And that is the beauty of their story. It reminds us that we do not have to be strong all the time. There are people who are willing to hold us together when we are falling apart, who will share our pain, and love us through our darkest moments. The love that Cara and Emmett have for each other is just beautiful and unconditional.

This book had me tearing up so many times. Truly, what an emotional and heartfelt way to end the series. It feels like I have known these characters for so long, so saying goodbye is a little bittersweet, but seeing how their stories came together in the end made it all worth it ๐Ÿ’–

BOOK BLURB:

Cara Hunter is a self-made woman. Driven and fearless, sheโ€™s never lost a battle. In fact, the only time sheโ€™s fallen to her knees was, well . . . for him.

Emmett Brodie might be one of hockeyโ€™s hottest players, but the moment he sees Cara, heโ€™s reduced to a single word: hers. And heโ€™ll stop at nothing to change her last name.

With a love as all-encompassing and fierce as theirs, they become the ultimate power couple and the backbone of their family. But when they decide itโ€™s time to have a baby, they discover their journey to conceiving will be anything but easy. As they face off with infertility, a battle that strips them to their bones, theyโ€™ll see just how unshakable their foundation really is.

They thought they could survive anything together, but how do you survive when youโ€™re barely breathing?
