This book literally feels like an end result of the current political climate in the USA and the author just wanted to highlight her perspective in light of it all (the whole anti police agenda). It just felt forced.

anyways, who wanna be my beau to my jane? pls DM me asap... i'm a material gurl prr 👅💅🏻. (i cannot believe i said that) And the drama is so repetitive. They get insecure, then they have sex, they say something dramatic during sex, then they get insecure again, then they have sex again. It’s further proof that something you say during sex is not reliable. Oh my God, in chapter 7, they didn’t even say anything, they only assume what each other are thinking. From the beginning, Skye has woven a story that is atmospherically consuming- evoking the gothic tone and tenor of Bronte’s original in a way both nostalgically referential but clever and fresh. The unsettling and complicated and long buried family secrets, dark secrets, a imposing manor-type house precariously isolated on a misty cliff, the subtle moments of terror embused in the suspense, and cast of brooding and perplexing characters has given the Rochester Trilogy the same gothic flair that made Bronte’s work so maddeningly transfixing. And as I’ve said before, Skye Warren’s take on romantic suspense is perfectly poised to deliver on a story that embodies that tone, she’s an author who has excelled at atmospheric, romantic and suspenseful story telling. I didn't expect Beau and Jane's epic ending to hit me with so much angst! Best Kept Secret by Skye Warren was intense, heartaching and heart stopping. A hint of darkness. An edge of suspense. The all consuming soul deep love with electrifying chemistry. This trilogy is perfection! I found the pace of the storytelling a little slower in comparison to the first two from this trilogy. Although this part of the story is told from multiple POVs, so there’s lots of input and perspectives from different characters regarding the situation they found themselves in.The Hero(s): Beau Rochester - He is falling for Jane and regrets sending her away for himself and for his niece Paige. I O N L Y W A N T Y O U. I write it again and again and again. I O N L Y W A N T Y O U. O N L Y Y O U. O N L Y Y O U. O N L Y Y O U." The Finale for Beau and Jane's story is here! I have been waiting so long for this book, especially after that crazy ending of book 2. That was a cruel cliffhanger 😂🥺

The best thing was the chemistry between Jane and Beau though, as the level of hotness between them was off the charts. And of course, when it is accompanied with a declaration of love (finally!) and what a “sir, yes sir!” kinda declaration it was. I was laughing out loud the entire time. Okay, not the correct emotion, maybe…This trilogy should have been a duet - this last installment felt like a lot of filler - repetitive thoughts of unworthiness from Rochester. There were also some typos 😱 and it was pretty short. The bright side was Jane’s development as a character. She’s grown and matured over the course of the trilogy which I liked. Oh and there’s a HEA. A predictable one but a HEA nonetheless.

Jane is more capable than she was in the past, she is still unsure of her place in Beau’s life. Though he definitely wants her in his bed. The mystery behind the murder of Beau’s brother is a good storyline and the cast of characters in this story was terrific. I really liked Beau’s best friend Mateo, Jane’s friend Noah, Emily and Paige. This was a great ending to the trilogy and I loved the Jane/Rochester romance.We’re here! This is where it ends right where it all began, with Jane and Beau. This journey was long, filled with grief and pain but a glimmer of light finally came up on the horizon, hope wasn’t lost and family love eventually won. You definitely have to be in a particular mindset to read a romance story that’s heavy on tragedy and heartbreak, and be prepared for it to seep into your own emotions. I easily got affected by Jane’s insecurities, Beau’s indecisiveness, and especially Noah’s battered heart. She then abandons her daughter and blames the hero for not helping her with her marriage (to his brother), despite not telling him anything and just magically hoping he knows all of her problems. In the original, what makes their final happiness so deeply touching is that Rochester has redeemed himself without Janes help - he was so sure she would be his redemption because he was “rescuing” her, but when she left he had to save himself instead - it’s what makes him truly worthy for Jane to return to him. I don’t really see a parallel redemption in Beau Rochester.

There was so much that could have done, with a good fleshing out, the drama written out properly, so it takes the reader along. Instead, if felt more narrative. I didn’t feel part of the story at all. I hated how Jane didn’t change either. My love was dangerous for so long. To me. To everyone else. I never thought I'd feel this kind of obsessive love again, but it's here." After the cliffhanger that the previous book ended in, I started reading this with literally my breath held in. It was silly maybe, but I felt so scared for Jane, especially after all she went through in life already. Why does Skye Warren make her protagonists suffer so much? But I do love all the wonderful things that happen after, so it’s okay, I guess… Albeit enjoying more of Jane and Beau, this last instalment felt a bit forced. I will concede it ties up all loose ends, all those buried secrets are revealed (ᴇᴠᴇɴ ᴛʜᴏᴜɢʜ ɪᴛ ᴡᴀs ᴀʟʟ sᴍᴏᴋᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ɴᴏ ᴍᴇᴀᴛ) but there is little flesh on the bones. Most of the book was a set of repetitions, I appreciated reading Emily’s POV, otherwise Jane and Beau’s reflections were redundant thus unnecessary. Rather than a third book this felt like a long epilogue.Warning: This is Book Three of the Rochester trilogy and continues the story from Book Two, there may be spoilers from the previous books. Both Beau and Jane struggle with annoyingly low self-esteem (“I’m not good enough for them, they deserve so much better than me! Not being with me is what’s best for them”) and never seem to be listening when they point blank tell the other I WANT YOU AND ONLY YOU (this happens repeatedly. Ad nauseam.) This is my personal preferences showing here, but I hate this trope. Sorry not sorry lol.
