About this listen
The war is over, and America is trying to heal, but Clara can take no joy in it. Even as the farm prospers and her family is once more at peace, Clara faces unimaginable grief: she has been unable to carry a child to term, and the loss of her children has nearly destroyed her. She has tried to remain strong for the sake of her family, but now, pregnant again, Clara finds herself consumed with fear - if she loses this baby as well, she is not sure she can go on. Jasper tries to comfort his wife, but he is lost enough in his own grief that he knows there are no easy answers. As he and Clara cling together against a harsh world, he fears that another tragedy will break them apart. He believes that things cannot get worse, but he is sadly mistaken - because Jasper still holds secrets he has not told even to Clara. Secrets about his youth, his family, and why he has never tried to rebuild his family homestead. So when his sister comes to find him, a sister he thought to be dead, Jasper must at last tell the truth about the past he despises...and a present that seems increasingly hopeless.

She is Kendall Moore - a spirited southern belle as proud as she is beautiful, driven by a cruel marriage-bed betrayal to risk her life in a dangerous gamble for freedom.

But war and treachery soon tear them apart - Brent into raging battle, Kendall into desperate flight from a scorned husband's white-hot vengeance. They live only for the promise of tomorrow - and a love that will burn forever in both their hearts.

Since birth, Nyx has been betrothed to the evil ruler of her kingdom - all because of a reckless bargain her father struck. And since birth, she has been training to kill him. Betrayed by her family yet bound to obey, Nyx rails against her fate. Still, on her 17th birthday, she abandons everything she's ever known to marry the all-powerful, immortal Ignifex. Her plan?

The strangely charming lord beguiles her, and his castle - a shifting maze of magical rooms - enthralls her.

Final book of the series.
Enjoyable ending to the series; however, there was something wrong with the recording and several of the end chapters are read out of order. It made the ending very confusing.

Beautiful Ending
What a nice ending to the Southern Romance series. It started with Jasper and Clara seeing each other and falling in love and ended with them happily ever after. There were bumps in their road to happiness and a mystery twist in the last book. I did find that the last two chapters should of been switched. I know that we were hearing how Clara saved Jasper but having it be the last chapter made it feel like a cliffhanger when it wasn't. Overall this book and the other three in the series was sweet and left you feeling happy. I would recommend The Southern Romance Series by Lexy Timms.

What????
This recording seems to be completely out of order..... like entire chapters are out of order. I’m so glad this series is over. It was not a favorite for sure.

Series Concludes
I, humbly, disagree with the author/publisher's blurb and recommend you read this series in series order. While each book tells 1 whole story, for maximum character enjoyment, do the series as written. For example, the ending of book 3 makes little sense unless you have done book 2.
Book 4 finds Clara and Jasper, lead characters of book 1, struggling after 4 pregnancies have ended to stillbirths and late miscarriages while Jasper still keeps secrets about his past.
AUTHOR...AUTHOR!!! Audible does not have the chapters in the correct order! I played on both download and streaming. End of book chapters are in this order 15, 17, 18, 16, 14.
