BLURB:
A year after their first kiss, Mitch and Cian have settled into their relationship and life in Dublin. There’ve been ups and downs and one or two unexpected turns in the road, but through it all they’ve gone from strength to strength.
Going home to Castleforest for Christmas means having to stay with their own families. Neither Mitch nor Cian enjoys being apart, but the sting of separation fades in the wake of a surprise from Mitch’s mother, and reconnecting with old and very dear friends lifts their spirits further.
Back in the city for New Year’s Eve, they throw a party for their friends and at last acknowledge the depth of their feelings for each other and the ties that will bind them for the rest of their lives.
This last instalment in the Mitch & Cian series comes with delightful surprises, fabulous parties, and declarations that will make your heart sing.
REVIEW:
I’m so sad. That this is the last installment makes me sad. I’m so happy for Mitch & Cian and how far they’ve come and the discoveries they’ve made. But it’s sad to think I might not see them again. Well, I will revisit them, don’t worry there. But ya know what I mean…..
To see these two grow up so much and learn so much has been its own reward. They had some major and minor ups and downs. Nothing too major, but it definitely took some communication on their parts to make it right. Communication AND listening. But now they are headed home for the holidays and are a little bummed. They know they’re parents are accepting of each other and them living together, but they feel a little jipped at not getting to spend the holidays together together. In the same bed and all. But what they don’t realize, is the parents have another surprise for them. And over the time they are home, more surprises come over the horizon. But what comes with those surprises, comes with more realizations. And one realization about something they’ve never shared. And maybe it’s finally time to rectify that situation.
If you’ve kept up with these guys, and I hope you have, you know that they have been through some stuff. Nothing that a lot of most couples don’t go through at the start of a relationship. Especially when both of you are new to everything, pretty much. But they’ve also taken the time to learn. And a lot don’t. People tend to forget the main part of having any relationship is that you have to communicate. And listen. Listening is just as important. And sometimes it seems like they don’t, but they do what they can to make it right. It doesn’t mean they aren’t going to mess up. They’re still babies and babies in this relationship. But they are learning quick. I’ve been so happy and proud to watch them grow from where they were to where they are now. They’ve still got a lot to go. No one is ever fully grown, but they are doing their best and I just love it. And I love them.
I’m going to miss these guys. I hope somewhere soon down the road, they will come back to visit. If only briefly. I hope you all have enjoyed this ride as much as I have.
