His life is perfect until the only girl he ever loved walks back into it, causing him to wonder if he truly has it all.
Keatyn Douglas -- Hollywood's sweetheart and owner of Captive Films leads a chaotic, glamorous life.

When drama starts at work, she may decide to give it all up for life out of the fast lane.

Our Review:
Reviewed by Donna ~ 4 stars
***ARC received for an honest review***
“Even Keats speaks of chaos.
There is nothing stable in the
world; uproar’s your only music.”
This review is incredibly bittersweet. I have been an avid
fan of this series for over five years, I began my journey with these
characters back in 2012 and have seen them morph from teens trying the find
their place in the world to adults embracing love and starting families. I feel
like their mum as I have watched them grow and am now gutted that my time with
them has come to an end. Love, is the final book in the Keatyn Chronicles series
and Jillian Dodd gives them a worthy send off. The Keatyn Chronicles has been
one heck of a drama filled ride, written like a soap opera, Jillian Dodd ties
everything up neatly, but please excuse me while I go and grieve.
“…love is the ultimate luxury,
and I want to wrap myself in our love and wear it forever.”
This book continues to follow Keatyn, Aiden, Riley, Dawson,
Dallas, Knox, Vanessa, Ariela et al on the final leg of their journey. Keatyn
and Aiden were well on the way to their happy ever after, but for the others,
there were still a few balls to juggle. Riley has been the source of my biggest
grievance throughout the last few books, it seems he just didn’t want to grow
up and while in this book some of the decision making was taken away from him,
he had already battled through his own thoughts and feelings to finally man up
and take the reins, he was somewhat redeemed.
“Having sex is like playing
cards. If you don’t have a good partner, you damn well better have a good hand.”
This book though was all about family and Jillian Dodd
really brought her characters their happy ever after while surrounded by the
love that matters the most, family and of course friends. Even though these
characters have been friends since school, they have morphed into their own
family and everyone had each other’s backs. Decisions are made with everyone else
in mind and whether that is true in the real world, didn’t matter, because this
was Keatyn’s world and only the best made it through.
“…when you surround yourself with
the people you love, great things can happen.”
This was the perfect fairy-tale ending and while in all
probability someone should have failed, I was glad they all got what they
wanted, what they deserved and what mattered to them the most. Albeit I was a
bit peeved that one character seemingly did a complete one-eighty even though I
thought she was completely irredeemable. But alas, I hope karma bites her on
the ass in the future that I have lined up for her in my head.
“…it’s not where you’ve been that
matters; it’s where you end up that does.”
Alas, I had tears by the end as my time with them came to a
close. It has been one heck of a ride, I have become a fictional grandma multiple
times, I have been at multiple weddings, award ceremonies and even a funeral.
But what I will take away the most is the life that I have lived vicariously
through these characters, where money is no object, fashion is rife and failure
is never an option. #ifly
