Spitfire Lacey Mosely feels stuck in a life she didn’t necessarily want. But will she find a happy ending with the man who broke her heart? Liora Blake concludes her witty and poignant True series with this spirited romance.

What do you do when the one boy you were never quite able to forget lands on your doorstep?

Lacey Mosely feels stuck: in her rural town of Crowell, Montana, at her job as manager of The Beauty Barn, and in her lackluster love life. Enter Jake Holt, one-time misfit and Lacey’s secret high school love. Ten years later, Jake is a private pilot whose travels take him all over the world, and once he shows up in Lacey’s life again—at the most unexpected time—he can’t seem to stay away. Now it’s up to Lacey to decide if she’s ready to let go of the past…and take a leap of faith for love.

For the third book in the True series we get the story of Kate’s sister Lacey. And in true Liora Blake style, it is told with warmth and charm and enough sweet detail that we feel as if we are walking down main street in a small Montana town. However, while I have truly loved this series, and True Divide was a wonderful addition (conclusion?), I felt it was missing a bit of the spark that I found in the prior two books.

Don’t get me wrong. True Divide was still a good read. But it pains me to say that I didn’t enjoy it as much as the first two stories in the series. It’s just that in the first and second books, I felt that the characters were all so strong and full of fire and managed to be real, yet larger than life, all at the same time. There was a quality that all of these people exuded that made them interesting and passionate. And Jake had this quality as well.

As an outcast teenager who left small town American and never looked back, Jake was spontaneous and driven and a whirlwind that blew back into town. He was fascinating.

I just didn’t feel that same way about Lacey.

She was a sweet small town girl who tried going out into the world and realized that her heart truly was back home, and that’s where she wanted to stay. She was the cheerleader and home coming queen and has been questioning her achievements since. And there’s absolutely nothing wrong who she was and her struggles. They just didn’t make her particularly interesting.

Nonetheless, the love story between Lacey and Jake was sweet and rocky and full of history, and getting to see Trevor and Kate again made it worth the read. Overall, I completely enjoyed this series and I didn’t want it to end.
