4 Star Review by Jen Skewes
The Way We Rise is the third and final installment in this
series. I could not wait to get my hands
on this one. I needed answers. I needed to know if Rory and Houston would
finally get their happily ever after.
What would happen with Liam and would they all be able to work it out
and put the past where it belongs, in the past.
Rory and Houston have come together at the end of the last
book and now they are left to deal with the aftermath of what happened with
Liam. It’s a very emotional moment and
time for Rory and neither one of them really know how to deal with it. Houston loves Rory and wants a future with
her but he also knows that they still have so much to work out. There are still secrets that are being kept
ans when it all comes out, the are both left completely shocked and wondering
what happens next. Houston thinks that
maybe they need to take a step back and start over, as friends. Yes you read that correctly. Being just friends for now, get to know each
other better and take it slow is the way he thinks they should proceed. And honestly I completely understood exactly
where he was coming from and why he suggested it. These two have been through so much hurt and
pain over the last six years. The event
that brought them together still plagues them.
It is still something that is between them and they both need to be able
to put it in the past, all of it in order to move forward. They both need to forgive and not just each
other. But will being friends really be
the solution? Given the way they feel
about each other will they be able to truly be just friends? And most importantly will they get the happy
ending that they both deserve? So many
questions. But trust me you will get all the answers that you need in the end.
I really loved the conclusion to Rory and Houston’s
story. We were kept wondering if they
would get their happy ending. At times
it didn’t seem like they were both on the same page. They loved each other but there was so much
standing in their way. Once again Ms.
Leo managed to surpise us even further when more secrets come out an you are
left wondering how will these two get past this. And at times I wasn’t really sure. But there love is strong and because of that
their love is strong enough to rise above it all.
I think my favorite part of this book was the epilogue. Cassia Leo certainly did their love story justice
with this amazing epilogue. Not only did
Ms. Leo do a fantastic job tying everything together where all parties are
concerned, but it was the perfect ending for Rory and houston. It was
funny, sweet and just beautiful. I felt
the love and connection between Rory and Houston in this one, which for me
personally was lacking a bit in the first two.
But I felt it all with them this time around. I truly saw how much these
two were meant to be together. No matter
how long it took for them to figure it all out and find their way back to each
other, in the end they were exactly where they belonged. Another fantastic job
by Ms. Leo
