The conclusion of Jamie and Jason's story....

Story continues where Jamie got kidnapped.... now rescued but battered and bruised... but safe. (Seriously, this girl never gets a break!) But now, her brothers and Jason are more protective than ever.... while Jamie just wants to move on and live her life.

The story kinda started slow for me... it's basically Jamie pouting about her tight security and her brothers telling her what to do. At this point, Jamie is kinda irritating with all her pouting....

I am glad that her brothers (Ian specially) have realized how they had been treating their sister, at last, and is trying to make up for it. And that Jamie is starting to stand up for herself.

And Jason and Jamie, their love couldn't get any more stronger... I love Jason through and through, his character never faltered... he's just perfect!

There is so much going in the story... I love the bond that the Carter siblings have, how they protect the family and that they've included Alex and Adam to the family.

Overall, I enjoyed the ride!!!! It was just the perfect happy ending for Jamie, Jason and her 7 brothers.

***Thank you Ms. RJ for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.***

What can I say, where to begin!!
I really enjoyed the with you series I got a say I really didn't like Jamie's brothers in the first one they were really abusive, I can get the overprotective ways and the bossiness and the bullying to an extent as I'm the only girl and the youngest to two older brothers so I get that just not the abuse....I loved Jason he really taught her brothers how she should be treated I didn't agree with beating the shit out of him though.
By the third book they had really redeemed themselves even Jake and Matt who I really despised in the first book. I loved the twins they were so funny and Craig cuz he treated jamie the way a brother should treat a sister most of the time.
In the second book I think Jason got a little controlling too and I wanted to smack him in the head along with her brothers but he come come good again in the last book.
Jamie really came into her own and I was really pleased that she lost fear and timidness she had before especially when she started ordering her brothers about that was the best :) this is the first I've read from this author but will def be reading more starting with the new series she's doing....I've given all three books 5stars even though I didn't agree with the abuse I loved the way they were written and I couldn't put any of them down once I started so well done ms sable you have me hooked :)

***I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review***

I absolutely loved this series and this last book was no disappointment. The relationship between Jamie and Jason is so touching, it's one of love and adoration that every girl hopes for! Even in the times where he was a little overbearing and I wanted to yell at him, he did it because of how much he loved her. I enjoyed how the relationship with Jamie and each of her brothers developed and changed into something more then them being overly controlling. Especially when Jamie started to stand up for herself. The way her brother "adopted" her friends as family showed the amazing
Bond that they all have with each other. I loved that the epilogue was told in Jason's POV. It have an insite to what he was sometimes thinking and feeling. I was initially a little angry when I started to read the epilogue but my mood changed as I continued. The book having a happy ending without it being completely gift wrapped was great. I would recommend this series to everyone! It makes my top 10
List!!! Great job!!!

I will just say that I seriously hated the epilogue for a few minutes. I was ready to get on Facebook and start a rant on the authors page. However, when I got a few paragraphs into the epilogue I loosened up a bit. I still didn't appreciate what R.J. was saying, but then I forgave. I was in such an emotional roller coaster ride the entire book that when the epilogue came I didn't think I was going to survive this series. I had been rooting for Jamie and Jason since the beginning and to think that they hadn't made it was such a blow to my heart. I will not give any spoilers of what this book is about. All I will say is don't jump to any harsh conclusions at the end of the book and start of the epilogue. Hold out for just a bit longer and everything will make sense. If you are anything like me, you will be crying your eyes out for the majority of the book. I didn't think I was going to have enough tissues to make it through this book. It was a great way to end the trilogy. I am very pleased with how everything turned out. :)

What can I say about this book, it was amazing from start to finish.
At the beginning of the series I totally hated all the brothers and even Jason at some points, but this last book shows a completely different side to them that made me fall in love with them all :)
I am hoping in the very near future we may hear some more about the brothers story especially Matt who's my favourite.
This book for me is a solid 4.5 stars the only reason it's not a five for me is I would like to have seen a little more drama around the kidnapping.

I really honestly and seriously can not say enough about this series. Always with you finished this trilogy off perfectly even though the last few pages made my heart stop beating. I Loved the way R.J.showed just how strong and confident Jamie has grown. I also loved Jamie's no nonsense attitude that she has taken with her brothers. I am proud of how Jason opened up to Jamie in this book and really expressed how much he loves her. This is a must read and highly recommended!!

4.5 because of the use of the word whilst and pout, other then that very good! the epilogue almost had me in tears though, the way out was written made it look like Jamie died..
Can't wait to read about when Elise and Karl first started out :D then the others! Was hoping for that! I really liked Ian so looking forward to that one for sure and more Jamie and Jason of course! how Adam, raj and Alex too

Ok, first of all I have to warn you that I’m not a native speaker and will probably make some crazy mistakes ;) furthermore this might become a review about the whole trilogy with some rambling included, because I just have to express some of my thoughts and feelings. But I’ll try to behave and don’t ramble too much! Promise…
But just in case - consider yourself warned!!!! ;)


So here we go.


This is an amazing story about a girl with no self-confidence -faithfully following the stupid rules of her big brothers, never answering back- and a guy who knows what he wants and how to get it, who’s not easily intimidated by anything and who made a promise to himself to never fall in love EVER.
This is the love story of Jamie-Lea Carter and Jason Reed.

We get to accompany Jamies journey on her way to more self-confidence and discovering her true self, while Jason helps her and fights the battles for her she’s not yet ready to fight on her own.

Not being allowed to have a boyfriend it is a bold move to bring Jason back home and what he has to go through to convince her brothers of his good intentions and of being worthy of their sister is totally insane - but nevertheless he would do anything for Jamie and that’s what her brothers finally have to admit too.

Furthermore, Jason makes her brothers realize, that it’s not ok and not normal how they treat their baby-sister by talking and if necessary by fighting.
He gives his girlfriend the strength to finally fight back and stand up for herself and he makes her brothers realize that they have to change a lot before they can talk of having a healthy relationship towards each other.


It’s really awesome to see the changes in Jamies and her brothers behavior. Jason did an awesome job!!





Jamie-Lea Carter is an 18 year old shy girl, starting university and living away from her overprotective brothers who raised her for the first time ever…. she follows their rules for the last 18 years and puts up with their abusive way, cause she loves her brothers more than anything and is convinced that the owes her brothers because she thinks it’s her fault that one of the most important people in their life - their mother - died (and nobody corrects her).

So while away from home she meets Jason and finally starts to question the rules her brothers made her follow - first of all the ‚No boyfriend-rule‘ and the stupid punishments…


With Jason having her back she starts to get more confidence to speak her mind and stand up against others - especially her brothers and Jamie learns that it shouldn’t be fear that makes her follow her brothers rules.

Its a long and painful way but thanks to Jason, who sticks to her side, no matter what, she finally developed a healthy relationship with all her siblings.



Just like Ian so beautifully puts it into words in #2 -
„Fear does not equal respect.“





Jason Reed - well Jason… let’s just say he ‚came around‘….a lot!!! ;)
But then he met Jamie Lea and even if he might not have realized it at the beginning - he finally was home…

Extremely good looking, 6 years older with lots of experience, tattooed, built and an ex-fighter… not exactly what her brothers had in mind when they allowed Jamie to move away to study at university…

He comes from a difficult background with an abusive father and started to protect and care for his younger brother Ben early. While growing up he learned that there’s nothing good coming from loving someone and that the people you love just let you down and rip your heart to pieces anyway - that’s why he decided to never fall in love and even got tattoos to remind him - and that’s why he’s kind of a man-whore before he meets Jamie…
But he was not expecting to cross paths with a girl like Jamie who is completely different to every girl he’s been with before and who brings his primal instincts to life and makes him want to protect and care for her…and who irrevocably worms her way into his heart anyway.


He’s just awesome!!! Really awesome - cause he is so soooooo good for Jamie, cause he gives her courage and self-confidence and because he shows her how to be treated by the people you love, he’s awesome because he stands up for Jamie when nobody else does and because as much as he didn’t want to fall in love - loves her so much, that he would give his life for her without blinking an eye.


Thanks to Jamie he gets over the fear of putting his heart on the line and loving someone and thanks to him there finally is an amazing family in which everybody learns and tries to treat each other with love, care and respect - a family who will protect, support and love them and on which they can rely on, no matter what.



The Carter brothers

With Jasons words:


„Baby, your brothers are not the kind of guys that you reveal your hand to. They’re like wolves, they sense your fear, they go for the kill.“



To be honest - It was a love-hate relationship between me and her 7 brothers (6 plus Matt)…
I really hated them at first, because they were really abusive and sometimes I was at the point where I had to stop reading for a moment and go for a run, because I desperately wanted to slap a fictional character (or better slap more than one - e.g. all her brothers HARD!!!) and I couldn’t get it into my head how they could treat Jamie like they did… 

They chose fear instead of respect to keep her in line… That can never be good.


To sum it up - they were all kind of abusive basically for no reason (actually there never is a good reason for violence towards a ward/child/woman…), stole her food even as she already was underweight and bullied or punished her just for fun or because they didn’t want to put up with her, hear her opinion or version of a story (even if it was the truth).


I thought of some kind of a schizophrenic personality disorder because Ian (the oldest brother) for example was so hot and cold like angry in one second and perfectly calm the next, like someone pressed a switch…


I definitely had the hardest time with Karl. He made me soo soooo damn angry!!!

And how Jake treated her, because she was the only weaker one - UNBELIVABLE!!!


I actually liked Craig most of the time (he was somehow sensitive and affectionate towards her although being a badass-fighter) and most of the time the twins where ok too (as long as they did not steal Jamies food)…

Nobody thought about the effect their behavior had on Jamie or about how it affected the development of her character and her self-confidence.

I can get the overprotectiveness and bossiness to some extend and I guess some of the bullying is bound to happen between siblings too, but it sure went a bit far - talking about punishments for for trifles or about the way Jake and his friend treated her at school while the others basically looked the other way…this all was bound to affect Jamies upbringing…

And for example never celebrating Jamie-Leas birthday, because it was also the day her mom died made her realize that the day of her birth was a bad day and makes her feel sorry for taking her mother away from her brothers…there’s no other way for a little girl as to think it’s her fault that there was no loving mom around and not talking about their mother and how much she loved all of them and how excited she was to have a baby-girl at all makes her pain and guilt so much worse.


It doesn’t make it better, but thinking of growing up in a millitary-home without the love of a mother makes me believe that they just didn't know a different way…they just didn’t know how to deal with all of this and how to show their love etc. in a more healthy kind of way…

Nobody writes books about how to raise your orphan baby-sister when you’re her 18-year old brother and have to provide food and education for your other siblings, too… 
It was expected that they would stumble. 
I can see that it was especially difficult for them to understand that she might have needed a different treatment than her brothers with all the punishment and making her afraid to stand up for herself, destroying all of the self-esteem she had but sometimes the same treatment, where they handled matters different - as to the learning to fight or having boyfriends…

But coming from a millitary-background, following somebody else's orders and this strickt and rough behavior and drill possibly was the only way they really knew…They all just did what they could and hoped it would be all right and enough.


Nevertheless - the way Jamie was raised was by heart not the best way possible, but knowing the whole situation and all the weight that Ian, Karl (and the others) had to carry on their shoulders -in hindsight they did good, even if the abuse wasn’t ok ever…so at the end I have to say that they did as best as they could, they apologized, are trying to make up for their mistakes and they learned to handle each other with care - just how they should have done all along because they are family and probably love each other to death….





Awwww…. I loved this story to pieces - well no. I actually not only loved this book, but all 3 books of this series ( Right There with YouStronger with YouAlways with You ) and it was a nearly painful struggle to read book #2 as slowly as I did… but I would have gone crazy with the cliffhanger because of my addiction to this series.
I knew I couldn’t finish that book before #3 was published… :D



It was a beautiful journey watching Jamie change from a suppressed, shy girl with no self-confidence to an adult, self-confident woman who knows what she wants in life,
watching Jason turn from a guy who doesn’t believe in love into a guy having found the once in a lifetime -happily ever after kind of love
and of seeing the Carter-siblings develop from a rather disturbed pile gluttonous rowdies to a loving family where they love, support and be there for each other and everybody acts respectful of the others.


It was wonderful to see how the family and the love and support for each other grew and they included some of Jamie’s and Jason’s friends and his family without prejudices - which has been a great strength of the Carter-family from the beginning. I just loved these books!!!!

And I want more, more, more!!!
As in storys about all the siblings of Jamie and Jason (and Jasons roommate etc) just more… and soon… like yesterday…

I loved the writing stile and the way the characters developed in front of my eyes, while I read.
There were lots of emotions and I really enjoyed it.
Furthermore I really have taken them all to my heart and really NEEEEEEEEEEEED to read more about the Carter-family!!!!



I’m so excited about the new book about Elise and Karl ( An Imperfect Circle )….while I hated and loved Karl when I read Jamies story, I absolutely adored Elise and I am sooooo soooo effing excited to learn more about their love story and the background of this sure as hell lovely couple… but I already know today that this won't be enough. As I said… I need Ians story and Craigs too… I want to read about the twins, Matt and Jake and about all the other guys and gals. I NEEEEED TO KNOW!!!!

So please R.J. Sable make this wish come true!!! Soooooon!!!!! ;)

Now that this series has come to an end, I can finally gather my thoughts completely. This series was somewhat of a whirlwind for me- this book in particular was wonderful, but frustrating.

I feel as if the author has a tendency to write about every day life a bit too much. I seriously had to push myself to finish this book because I knew there would be some sort of climax towards the end. The middle of this book was just a lot of random events, such as playing uno.

I love the chemistry between Jamie and Jason. The ending threw me for a loop and I was extremely angry, but was happy to see the author tricked me. It was a nice read.

Emotional

Wow, I didn't think I would be able to stick with this series in the first book. It was hard bc I didn't like the way Jamie was treated and I didn't like the way she acted. I was also worried that something was gonna happen to her and Jason and I would have been pissed. I was pleased with how it turned out and how Jason strengthened her and in turn the whole family. I see the story for Karl and Elise. Don't really wanna read that one but I really hope you continue on with all the other brothers. I became really fond of Craig and Ian and hope to hear their happily ever after

I didn't think that I could love Jason anymore than I already did, and I didn't want the book to end. Not just Jason but the way the Carter family healed from their losses and started to really develop relationships with each other really drew me in. The sneak peak at Elise and Karl's story was exactly what I was hoping for, I really really hope for at least a book for each brother especially Ian and Craig.

I loved the first two books in this trilogy, but this one was just "ok". It wasn't as entertaining as the other books.I loved the epilogue. It was the best part of the whole book. I was freaking out because I though R.J. Sable killed off Jamie-Lea!!! I would love to read books about the other Carter's and Matt. Crossing my finger!

I absolutely loved this series, although I would love to read about all the brothers also. Would love to know why Matt and Craig can't stand each other and what happened to Bella, Craig's girlfriend. Will definitely look for more books from this author!!!
