In a flashback, Lana was gonna go on a date, Cal was pissed and told her to kiss him as a dare and it was her first kiss.

I sincerely believe that she was abusive towards Cal, she tried to make him feel guilty all the time, and yes, Cal screws her over a thousand and one times, but the girl complains as if she had been putting up with Cal's addiction for 6 years when she was in her town doing God knows what, and this brings us to the next point. From TikTok sensation Lauren Asher comes the final spicy romance in the Dreamland Billionaires series. This was a beautiful romantic, heartfelt, spicy story with both characters and events I hold dear to my heart.Cami sees model boats in Cal’s room, Cal said he did with Lana and Cami begs to do it with him and be best friends. Lana being there for Cal but knowing she deserved better, and Cal working to be better so he could be the best man for her had me so in my feels. and i'll come back to this book, regularly, because despite all the tears i shed, cal and alana were a source of pure joy. I mentioned to Lupi (my beautiful friend who I was reading this book with, but about that later as well), how much Cami warmed my heart.

Lana is badass, she takes no shit and she looks out for her people but she was a little frustrating as she constantly drew her own conclusions instead of listening to them. I like how besides romance, genuine plot was present and without romance, said plot would still (kind of) be present. In general, the characters' pains, fears and feelings made them relatable, and their journeys and development were amazing and very well worked. I can understand from her perspective that Cal continuing to drink during the majority of the book didn't help.

His grandpa wants him to spend the last summer in the house with Alana before selling it to access his inheritance.

Now he is forced to stay and make Alana give him a chance to move in for a few weeks, before convincing her to sell the house. Final Offer is a new adult romance featuring the forced proximity, second chance romance, enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, and single parent tropes. This is the third and final installment in Lauren Asher’s Dreamland Billionaires trilogy, so if you’re new to this series, you should start with book one, The Fine Print, to avoid spoilers. The fact that we had so many new tropes was something super different and good in the Dreamland universe: small town and second chance. She enjoys writing about flawed yet relatable characters you can’t help falling in love with and fictional worlds you wish were real.He says he decides to go to rehab for himself, but how it was written makes it seem that it's entirely for Alana and Cami. with my love for Cal and the crumbs about his past with Alana, i was undoubtedly so excited for this book so i went into this with VERY high hopes and it didn’t disappoint. He goes to meetings for Dreamland to mess with his dad but when he finds out subscriptions are lower for their streaming platform, he asks questions and Rowan is excited.
