This was the best book of the series. I loved it. This was one of the best second chance romances that I have read.

Why did it take me so long to finally read this book? I asked myself this so many times whilst reading it because I absolutely devoured this book within a couple of days and then went on to binge read both books in the Lakefront Billionaires series.
Final Offer was the most perfect conclusion to the Dreamland Billionaires series and I loved reading every single page of it. I do think it was a little bit too long but I still loved every single page.
Cal and Alana were so perfect and I loved seeing them fall back in love with each other and having to deal with all of the struggles that came from their first breakup. This book has second chance romance trope and single parent trope which are two of my favourite tropes ever so I knew I would love this.
Lauren Ashers writing is some of my favourite writing to read. Her writing is so easy to fall into and makes it so easy to fall in love with her characters and her stories.
Still not as good as Terms and Conditions because I think that will always be my all time favourite Lauren Asher book but I still loved this and thought it was a perfect conclusion to the series.

Hearing cals struggles were so real.
Little cami was amazing! The way she hussled cal had me in stitches!
I can see myself in Alana. And I'm so happy they all got their happy ending.

Loved this one. It took a while to get into but once I got going I was hooked. I read the last 200 pages in one sitting and was very glad that I'd continued to read it. I can't wait to read more by this author.

I've really enjoyed this trilogy of stories from Lauren Asher and this was nice ending to it.
I liked the way that it was brought to a close and the way that we got to see the characters interact with the other brothers and their wives
I will say, I didn't warm to Lana all that much but Cami was a true standout.
I did, however, like the amount of depth and dimension Cal's struggle with addiction gave to him. It also wasn't the kind that was fixed overnight, which felt realistic.
Much like the rest of the series though, it is longer than it needed to be.
I will definitely be keeping an eye out for what Lauren Asher does next.
Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

The final book is Asher’s trilogy is just as good as the first two. Brilliant balanced with moments of sweet romance and spicy action, this book was everything I wanted to finish off the series

Well, that was a close to the series. It wasn't my favourite, I found this one more frustrating than the others, but I also felt that at times the other brothers gate-crashed the storyline.

I found this one a bit slow, and I wasn't fully invested in the relationship. But I enjoyed it all the same. It wrapped the series up nicely. I can't argue with that.

I really enjoyed the first two books in this series, but I thought this title was too long and repetitive, which is a shame as I was most looking forward to this story. I will likely read the next book by Asher, but would warn people off reading this one

This was my favourite in the series. I was waiting for Cal's book and it didn't disappoint! Sexy, fun and engrossing. The end was emotional and that only kept me turning pages.

Although the characters at times could be frustrating and the pacing was slower, I still devoured the book.

What I love about this series is that you can read them as standalones too, although you definitely get more out of it if you read them all.

I absolutely adored this book. Having read the other two in the series, it wasn’t as good as the second book but definitely was really enjoyable.
The second chance romance trope is one of my favourites as well as forced proximity.
The way that the characters developed was really well thought out & pulled on my heartstrings. I did find Cal a bit frustrating at times though.
It could have been spicier.

Cal and Alana… I love you!

“ғᴀʟʟɪɴɢ ɪɴ ʟᴏᴠᴇ ᴡɪᴛʜ ʏᴏᴜʀsᴇʟғ ɪs ᴛᴇɴ ᴛɪᴍᴇs ʜᴀʀᴅᴇʀ ᴛʜᴀɴ ғᴀʟʟɪɴɢ ɪɴ ʟᴏᴠᴇ ᴡɪᴛʜ sᴏᴍᴇᴏɴᴇ ᴇʟsᴇ, ᴇsᴘᴇᴄɪᴀʟʟʏ ᴡʜᴇɴ ɪ ᴅᴏɴ’ᴛ ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴍʏsᴇʟғ ᴠᴇʀʏ ᴍᴜᴄʜ.”

Man, don’t we know it, Cal. This quote hit hard to home just now.

This book hit differently for me. I think it was much more family orientated and I loved Grandads will. Although don’t get me wrong, if I have to do anything like that for anyone’s will I’m out 😂 that was intense.

I have to say, a few times Alana did slightly annoy me because I felt she was being SO harsh to Cal but I completely get her reasoning. With having little Cami and having her heart broken by Cal in the past.

Cal, I keep swaying with him but I think he might be my favourite out of all the brothers. I felt like he was so kind and totally went above and beyond to prove his love to Alana. I can’t even imagine how hard it would’ve been for him to do half the things he was asked in the will, never mind changing plans and proving himself and his love.

The book was intense, it was sexy, romantic and had my heart all over the place. The ending was just 🥹 I just don’t have words for how cute it was. 🥰

A wonderful conclusion to the #DreamlandBillionaires and a lovely goodbye to the brothers and their new starts with the women they love.

Thank you so much to @tandemcollectiveuk for sending me a copy of this book, it was a total surprise and I’m so grateful! Thank you to @netgalley for allowing me access to this ARC!

Lauren Asher is TikTok famous for a reason and this book just proves it. A wonderful story. I came into the series blind and although I do not think you have to read the other two books before this one I am most definitely going back to find out more.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the chance to read this wonderful book. I couldn't put this book down. Smart, sexy and addictive

Recommended for those who love a sexy fun read and those who are fans of romance. A great read just like the authors previous books. Looking forward to a reread.

This series saved the best til last!
A slower pace and move depth to the emotional side of this romance story. It even moves away from the business side of the dreamland enterprise of these billionaires.
Maybe a little slow at times and Lana isn't exactly a strong female character but that is what Cami is there for.
The whole series was a really enjoyable read and I think this ended in the most mature of the relationships, no false pretense, just a second chance after Cal leaves Lana because of his addiction, which is obviously a trigger warning for some and it is a romance book so dont expect it to be deep and dark on the alcoholism but it is enough to make it an issue. I like that the ending isn't just Cal get's over his problem within the story and so there is rehab and understanding it is just the beginning of his recovery.

I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley for an honest review

DNF
I enjoyed the first book in this series, the 2nd wasnt great but I wanted to read this one as I loved Cal, who this book is based on in the first 2 books. But this book was, for me, so boring. It moved at a snail pace, the dialogue was cringey and I just was not going to read nearly 600 pages of it!!

I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to round up on this one, but honestly, while I enjoyed this overall, the whole nature of the issues in this book were difficult to read. Cal, the final brother, wasn’t someone I’d particuarly taken to in the other books and while I did warm a little to him, he hit luke-warm. I’ve addressed some of what I struggled with under a spoiler tag on my Goodreads review.

Lana was an okay character, I liked her but I didn’t love her. I didn’t like some of her decisions but realistically, she was doing her best as a single mum with lots of outside pressures. Cami was the star of the show for me; her personality shone through.

It’s a pretty long read and I’m not sure it needed to meander so much but I did enjoy the closure and epilogues, especially the other brothers extended HEAs.

Thank you to Piatkus Books for the gifted eARC.

Why does this series have to end!
I loved this one. I loved Cal's journey to fighting his alcohol addiction. I loved the romance between him and Alana and just the story overall.

I did feel Cami was written a lot older than your average five-year old but she was cute nonetheless.

The final instalment in The Dreamland Billionaires series and this was such a perfect ending to the series. Cal has to sell the lake house to get his inheritance but Lana still lives there with her daughter, Cami, and the flames of her relationship have never gone. This had quite an emotive feeing with the alcoholism story which added a deeper level than the standard billionaire romance ones! Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for this arc in exchange for my honest review.

This was a really well-written finale to the series. I loved seeing everything come together and to a conclusion. Cal and Lana were really well-written characters, and their story did not disappoint. The chemistry between the two was the best so far in this series. I loved seeing them develop as characters and then as a couple.

Thank you to the publisher for kindly providing me with an ARC via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

A real pull on the heartstrings story, with Callahan learning to overcome his addiction because he wants to pursue his love for Alana and Cami. Very moving story and a perfect end to this series.
