You're Still the One

Just when I thought the Ribbon Ridge series couldn't get more emotional, Darcy Burke gives us You're Still the One. I love how the author gives us a family that may look perfect from the outside but is full of flaws, and personality conflicts, and issues like every family. It makes the Archers real to the reader. It's fitting that the last of the Archer children to get his happily-ever-after is the one who felt most left out his entire life, and we experience that emotion with him in this book. My heart ached for him as he worked through his issues with his family and feeling like the "odd man out". You're Still the One is a wonderful "second chance at love" story, with Bex and Hayden having a relationship that ended with Bex left town five years ago. The dynamic of Bex's relationship with Hayden's family brought an interesting twist to their romantic relationship and complicated their separate returns to town. But when it counted, Hayden's family rallied behind him and beside him. The emotions were riveting, the humor laugh-out-loud funny, and the sex was steamy in this "last" book in the Archer saga. But not to fear-- the author teases the reader with some new personalities that you want to get to know better--so while we are leaving Ribbon Ridge right now, I'm confident it's only temporary. Disclosure: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

You're Still the One by Darcy Burke....I love going back to Ribbon Ridge and how perfect to get Hayden and Bex story. These two have so much chemistry and perfect together. I am mixed, I loved this story so much, but I am sad the Archers are over. I am hoping we will get more Ribbon Ridge. I absolutely love Darcy Burke storytelling, I can't wait to see what is next. I highly recommend this series...Fall in love with Ribbon Ridge and the Archers as I did. I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I was totally heartbroken when I realized the Archer family saga was coming to an end. I have enjoyed visiting Ribbon Ridge. Saying goodbye feels like losing a good friend. The only good to come out of the end of this series is that I can read the entire series again back to back. That makes it a little easier to bear. I received an ARC of You're Still the One in exchange for an honest review. Darcy Burke ended the series the same way she began it. Tragedy and heartbreak strengthened the bonds of the Archer family mending what was broken. It's fitting that You're Still the One examines how youth and heartbreak broke apart Hayden and Bex's love affair but a twist of fate and maturity may give them a second chance. From the beginning this series has been a story of a family united by tragedy but it also shows that the power of love is a burning light that can never be extinguished.
