Twenty-year-old Karina is proud of the independent life she is trying to create for herself in Ft. Benning, Georgia. A dutiful officer’s daughter, supportive sister to a troubled twin brother, and caring friend to her roommate, Elodie, Karina always puts the needs of others ahead of her own and prides herself on being a fixer of broken things—whether it’s the house she’s just bought or the fragmented family she works hard to keep intact. Like anyone who has grown up around an army base, Karina also knows the background noise that follows men and women home from war.

Everyone says opposites attract. And they must be right, because there’s no logical reason why I’m so drawn to Colin Fitzgerald. I don’t usually go for tattoo-covered, video-gaming, hockey-playing nerd-jocks who think I’m flighty and superficial. His narrow view of me is the first strike against him. It doesn’t help that he’s buddy-buddy with my brother. And that his best friend has a crush on me. And that I just moved in with them. Oh, did I not mention we’re roommates?

I don't want hessa to end!
Wow wow wow I was a little uneasy about reading the last book as most reviews said it was utter rubbish but boy I'm glad I read it now ties a bow on tessa wraps up the before during and the ending answers question I didn't know the answers to and gives me more questions.
I don't know if Anna tried to make us understand by stephs sad storybut how I feel about her hasn't changed steph I think she was just always the jealous spoiled bitch manipulative psycho and I will never forgive her actions regarding tessa she was more fucked up then Hardin at least he admitted he was fucked up and was honest about his flaws and changed she didn't steph was just a snake in the grass the whole time and she had no excuse for her behaviour. Molly I was starting to love even before reading her story from how she saved tess I think she was just misunderstood and wanted to feel loved.
You get back story and understanding about all the main characters like vance logan zed logan melissa (Dan's sister) and even Natalie we even get to hear about landon. Zed was a funny book the irony it was hilarious.
The last book seemed rushed in regards to the time jump so to have it explained and about hessa as parents in this one was the best feeling. If you love the series you need to read this what iv taken out of this is that don't let other opinions stop you finishing this chapter. It was an awesome series had me laughing crying mad so frustrated disgusted at Hardin annoyed at tessa because of back and forth, I wanted to stop listening to the childish behaviour of both of them but then I couldn't stop listen the moments of passion and unconditional love was the best love romance story ever it was real they had problems they lost each other but ultimately ended where they were always meant to be.
to see the growth of Hardin i was proud of them overcoming everything and being the best parents to their children. I'm sad to think il never know if they will have a third child or if they will legally get married but I'm glad I could have them in my life for a little while. Thank you Anna for a real romance an awesome read and I recommend this series especially this book to everyone. My only hope the movies will do the rest of these books justice and that Mabye we will get another hessa book in the future :)
Speechless emotional heartbreaking breathtakingly beautiful!!

A read that is far more exciting than the movie!
After recently watching the fourth instalment of 'After', 'After Ever Happy' I had to read this book to see if they got their happy ever after but after listening to the first few chapters I realised I had done it all wrong and now need to read from the beginning. I don't think the movies did the books any justice and though slight changes here and there I feel the books really help us to understand the characters more fully. I loved hearing the story in Hardin's point of view and could empathise with him more. Hearing more about the other characters also helped bring the story to a neatly wrapped end. I can't but think the Tessa in the movies is not at all betrayed as well from the book and the changes they made left me with questions but now more of it makes sense with how the events fold in the book. Well I'm off now to read the series in order, starting with book 1 and then surely watching all the movies again to compare...hehe. A great book that I didn't want to put down as I just wanted to hear what would happen next! Totally recommend.

Conclusion
I was led to believe this was Hardins back story but it’s more about giving each other character their 10 minutes of fame. I like it gives us insight into why Molly was the young woman she’d become but nothing compares to Hardin and Tessa.

Mediocre
Predictive and boring ending, also a bit idealistic and naive.
I felt like the timeline jumps a lot also.
However still addictive and easy to listen to.
