ASHLYN
I went against all I believed in and fell in love with what should have been a one-night stand! I fought it, tried to make up rules to prevent the inevitable, but somehow, he knew all along. He understood what I wanted and was willing to comply. I was the one who took him for granted. I was the one who made him walk away. And now, he’s gone and I’m left with nothing but my thoughts and regrets. He was never supposed to be my happily ever after. But my favorite love story ends in tragedy, so why wouldn’t mine?

RYDER
I played the white knight, doing what every woman dreams of to win her over, yet it still got me nowhere! But what did I expect? I wasn’t the man she wanted! Nothing I could have done would have landed me the girl. I guess love is funny that way. One minute, you think you have the girl, and the next, you realize you were blinded. Walking away was hard, but watching her with another man was harder. Sometimes you have to pick your battles, and I know when I’ve lost. Love shouldn’t be a game, but I learned someone always loses. For once, I wasn’t the one being selfish, but I was the one who paid the price.

*********MY REVIEW**********
Ashlyn and Ryder's story
begins in Selfish which was book 1 and then we got Becca’s story in
book2 and now we are back to Ashlyn and Ryder's story in the final book in the
series which is Selfless in this series.
In this series we saw this meet on their fun filled vacation in Florida. Then
they continued their relationship when she moved to NYC to start work after
college and that is really when she and Ryder fall head over heels in love. Things
were going great until they have this huge fight which then leaves this book in
a huge cliffhanger.
This book picks up the Ashlyn/Ryder
drama in Selfless and finishes their love story out. This was an emotional love
roller coaster. I didn’t know how many times I wanted to yell at Ryder and also
smack at him for being such a dense jerk. He didn’t give Ashlyn enough respect
at times but I understand why he misunderstood some things the way he did.
Ashlyn definitely had A LOT of heartbreak and she took a stand and made sure to
make him work his way back into her good graces and what a way he did . She is
sassy and classy with how she did it, and I totally enjoyed every moment of it.
I have to say Ryder’s mother-
she is one nasty piece of work and my heart hurt for everyone around involved.
She did so many bad things… There is
a lot of complicated and emotional moments in this story,
especially after a surprise after surprise gets sprung up. I literally was on
the edge of my seat until the very end and was sad to see this series end for I
loved all the characters introduced. The passion, angst, love, and loyalty is
so strong and true in this series. Shantel is
a talented writer and has a very gifted way with words because those words will
grasp you and take you places.
My Rating: 4.8 stars *****
