Summary
Six years ago, in the dead of night, I woke up to a cold bed and an even colder future without her.
I would’ve followed her anywhere, and she left.
I thought I’d moved on and left all she meant to me behind. But a first love is never easy to forget. Even harder when I once felt our love was inevitable - inescapable. And I’ve been proven right once again.
One night brings us back together and derails our lives. We’re sent on a collision course with a future apart and, even scarier - a future together. I’m back basking in the warm glow of her gaze and burning with the unquenchable fire of her touch.
We’ve walked this path before, and our shattered hearts have been pieced back together. As easy as it would be to run again, I can’t stop wanting her.
This is our final chance to have what we’ve always wanted - each other. Or it’ll be our ruin.
The final book in the Falling Trilogy, a Fulton U Universe novel.

What a way to bow out
This trilogy really has put my through the ringer, so to say I now feel like Bay and Dare are part of my family isn't an understatement. This trilogy as a whole hasn't been an easy ride but if you love romance as much as I do, sometimes you just have to trust the process and with this finale and this trilogy as a whole, you'll be glad that you did. This was really well written and it's going to be a series I come back and reread over time. The characters and the writing were beautifully done and this might be this authors best work to date.

Uplifting and satisfying conclusion
Ah! It’s here and I can finally breathe! And then hold my breath again as Bay and (I’ll still call him) Dare try to make this the right time and the right place for their love to last and for the pair to be together. Will this be the right time or are they doomed to be apart forever?
Now come on, we know Ms Hughes wouldn’t do us wrong by not giving us the HEA that we deserve almost as much as Bay and Dare themselves, do. We’ve all been through a lot together and while we know it’s all going to be alright, there are still some obstacles to overcome and some nails to be gnawed before we get what we’ve been waiting for.
Although I didn’t realise it at the time, I see now that the second book in this trilogy (The Sin of Kissing You) was Dare reaching his breaking point and hitting rock bottom, now it’s Bay’s turn to get to that point. It’s still told in dual viewpoints but that’s what I got from the story.
Which reminds me, this book is NOT a standalone. It’s a HEA, sure, but you do need to read the first two books to get any kind of understanding and satisfaction from this final story as all three books deal with the same couple.
And satisfying is exactly the right word for this book. As I read, I wondered if I would feel any sort of conclusion and truly believe that Bay and Dare would make it this time. So when I got to the end I was delighted that you could see that this time was forever. Never a more perfect couple were Bay and Dare and I loved every tear-stained, angsty, nail-biting, book tossing minute of their adventure together.
For fans of Maya Hughes, this book also gives us delightful cameos from LJ and Marissa, Berk and Jules - and a quick update about (but no page time for) Seph and Reece. There’s also a quick overlap of the SWANK and Fulton U worlds, which will merge further when Maddy (Bay’s manager) gets her own story with SWANK’s Everest. Many yays for that coming to my kindle in the hopefully near future!
This story didn’t wreck me as much as the first two books in the series and as much as I had feared. Both Bay and Dare were more mature and more aware of their limitations and their boundaries. What made that even more delicious is that when they were together, in some ways, our couple were cute and teasing and like a couple of teens in love. It worked so well, merging together their past with their present and then future.
While I’ve read a number of books where I feel satisfaction at an ending, it’s rare that I feel so uplifted alongside that. I wanted to keep reading - even if it was just the mundane aspects of Bay and Dare’s lives together. I would pass my kindle and smile as I remembered the story I’d just read, getting a hit of that happiness each time. And without sounding like a kook, this story also left me feeling upbeat and hopeful. If Bay and Dare can find their way to love, happiness and forever together, there’s hope, too, for the rest of us. 5 very satisfied stars.

Bay and Dare!
It’s been six years since Bay made the decision that devasted both her and Dare and she has second guessed her decision ever since. As fulfilling as the professional success she has achieved is it doesn’t compensate for the void inside of her which only seems to diminish when Dare comes back into her life.
Dare is a star on the football field and has made efforts to move forward with his life but when fate brings Bay back into his life he realizes that physically they may have been apart but emotionally they have always been together.
The chemistry and connection between them is stronger than ever but the fight to be together is far from over. They still must heal from their pasts both as a couple and individuals and the road is not without its pitfalls. The narrators did an amazing job at ensuring the emotion and angst of the characters and their story.
