Mansplainer

Only a few pages in, and I was thinking that Nash was not going to be a character I could cheer for. While his mansplaining wasn’t mean, it was a lot! But Chelle put him in his place, which totally endeared her to me. Yes, her last of confidence was puzzling, since she seemed so outspoken, but those childhood insecurities sometimes don’t go away, even with time.
I thought they were a fun couple and enjoyed their banter quite a bit. It was nice to see even more of the “younger” cousins as well, and hope they get their own stories. For me, Grandma Betty’s last gift was a bit anticlimactic, but I’m probably in the minority. Still, I enjoyed this book and the whole series.

I just couldn’t get into it.

The last book of the Beckett cousins, and the last in the Last Man Standing bet, Nash thinks he for sure found a way to help out a lady in distress AND win the bet. He suggests they get married for a short amount of time, which helps them both, no strings or feelings. But really, do we think that’s how it’s going to play out? Lots of feels are caught by both, and in the end, an accidental perfect match was made. Goodness, I loved this series and these cousins!!
