Life’s been many things for twenty year old Bryn Dawson, but one thing it’s never been is easy. And it’s only about to get harder.

As the gossip of Bryn being Betrothed to Patrick, her true love’s little brother, becomes more reality than rumor, Bryn does her best to think positive thoughts, ignore Patrick’s odd behavior, avoid Paul’s relentless advances, and attempts to co...more

BEWARE OF SPOILERS.

Holy Moly! Can I say I have never been more invested and excited for fictional characters bedroom scene but it was well deserved for William and Bryn! Ms. Williams you did not disappoint! I was on the edge of my seat reading it so happy for them!! Also this book kicks the Twilight novels booty! I think it totally turned on it's own during the second book and took it to a level Twilight never delivered. Plus William is in this book, how can it not be better just because of him? :)

I am so sad to see the serious end but it also needed too. If it kept going it would of been just dragged out though I would like to read about how the happily married couple is doing and about their missions together.

I really fell hard for William in this series. I know many other readers found him to be stalkish but come on ladies! He had visions of a woman for 200 years, even buying an engagement ring for her after his first dream of her. How freaking romantic is that?!?! I still enjoyed Patrick's flirtatious tone with Bryn during the book. He made me laugh out loud many teams... "holy boobs" haha! I did feel really bad for him after he told Bryn of his love for her. I wish that was explained a bit more, it kind of came out of no where, yes I know he flirted with her (at least I took it as flirting) during the book but he really went out of his way to hurt her with words about how Bryn left William and he was with someone else. I just didn't see a guy in love with a girl would do those things. Also I would of liked a little more explanation of WHY he was in love with her, something like "Bryn, you're the most stubborn girl I know but I love you" or "Bryn I always was there for you because I loved you". In the book he just said he loved her and talked about William. Then when he finally told William he loved Bryn it wasn't in the book, since it was Bryn's POV and then William would tease Patrick about it later. I wish a serious conversation would of happened about it.

I know that sounds like a big complaint but I really did enjoy the series and this book. I liked that Townsend was not the majority of the book (the bad guy) and it focused more on the romance. I really loved Abby and Cora and would love to have "sisters" like them in my life. The detailing the author had in every scene was great. The scene of Bryn watching William deliver a baby was touching and am glad as a reader I was able to read about William and what he does on his missions. I am glad Paul was mentioned at the end about what he is doing. Another man in love with Bryn. It did seem like every single man was in love with her but at the end the happy ending was well deserved.

I am now starting Patrick's series and can not wait to see how he plans on moving on past Bryn. I am going to miss William so much. What a hunk of a God!! Ha!(less)

"We’d won the game of life. We were the rulers of our universe. And we’d spend the rest of our eternities settling for nothing less."

In this final installment of The Eternal Eden series Bryn and William are faced with the ultimate battle. As Bryn realizes that her intended is not the right Hayward brother she must learn to accept her fate. She must learn to ignore Patrick’s weird behavior, avoid Paul’s advances and live with not being able to be with William. Of course it is an epic fail. There...more

Happy conclusion to the series! I love William and Bryn definitely has grown so much throughout the series. I will reiterate it’s status as mind-candy, as there were many inconsistencies that I saw throughout the series. Although the choppiness became less of an issue in the second and third books. For instance, I was sure that Bryn would have some sort of power where she could predict future events – based on the two visions she has in the first book. But that is never really discussed in later...more

You know how every now and then there is a book you just can't bring yourself to finish? This was that book for me.

After enduring the first two books, which weren't awful, I just couldn't finish this one. I think what did it in for me was the continual nauseating love between William and Bryn throughout the books to the point that by the third book, I literally just couldn't take it anymore. By the third book, I had had my fill of, "You're amazing and I don't deserve you." FROM BOTH SIDES. Over....more

It was the best in the whole series. I was disappointed in the second one but the author sure did make it up in this one. It was perfect seeing Bryn and William finally getting their happy ending afterall. There was drama in this book but it was worth it. I was on the edge of my bed when reading about the bethroyel ball. I didn't know who the counsil set Bryn with this time and boy I was so surprised when I actually learned it was William because it seemed like they were going to but her with Patrick and I was biting my nails so hard while wishing that they wouldn't. I also hated Patrick for telling Bryn how he loved her even thought he shouldn't since she is his brothers one and only love but he did. He had the nerve to tell her that on the same day as her ball only few minutes early because he thought it would be him that they pair her up with for some reason and he wanted her to know how he felt before they were put together. I hated that it was so sad because I liked Patrick and I was thinking that if Bryn liked him a little and they were actually pair off together in the bethroyel then we were going to get a love triangle which I hate to read about. You can't fall in love with two people at once that for me is wrong and just stupid because you can either love one more than the other never the same. So I was so relaxed when I learned about who she was with and I was back in the middle of my bed :) Moving on then we see them waiting for their wedding to happen and the girls (Bryn, Cora, I forgot the other girls name) having their girls night out before the wedding and it was so much fun to read about that. There we see how close they all get and I just loved all that. But good things end soon and at the end of their day we see them getting kidnapped by John the villian. Then Bryn is tortured and its sad to read about that but Patrick keeps popping up to her to give her courage (awww) then she gets rescued the villian is killed the hero saves the day they get married and go on their honeymoon and live HEA! I also loved the joke they play on Patrick after their wedding night it was hilarious and I loved every bit of it. Overall, this book rocked and I loved it. I hope the author writes more series like this!(less)

What an awesome ending to this trilogy. I loved it! If I wasn't laughing I was crying and if I wasn't doing either of those I was on the edge of my chair.

Can I first start by saying I totally enjoyed the first 2 books and did not wait very patiently. I was left wondering if Bryn would be betrothed to Patrick and stressing about what would happen. Well, I shouldn't have. This book was perfect in every way. It was paced out brilliantly. There wasn't too much action, or too much Townsend, there was...more

WoW! OMG! I loved this book, I didn't even think it was possible to love this book as much as the first two. I read this in a mere of hours, not wanting to put the book down, needing to see the conclusion to the fate of the character's I love so much. And what supriesed me the most in the book was that I really fell in love with Patrick. He was such an asset in this book, he definately stole some limelight now and then. I was very much satisfied with the ending and thought the outcome was what needed to be. The feeling of the book was much lighter than the first two (I even found myself breathing more often in this book than the others). I loved the full transformation of the character and there were many, I really loved the fact that they were slower, more understandable( I mean people don't change over night, am I right?) I really enjoyed how this book was separated, I didn't feel out of sorts, being yanked from one scene to another, it was nice and steady, action here and there and a pause. I absolutely loved the flow of this book, the smoothness of it, it really was something you could sit back and read and be relaxed(though at times I was at the edge of my seat, cringing on the purposed outcome) But in overall view the plot was plucked and perected to the tee and every leaf was unturned.

Summary:

Bryn and William finally think they can have it all; the council has finally granted a union between Byrn and a Hayward. But soon rumors fly that It's Bryn and Patrick that's going to be engaged. While oblivious to the rumors William is on cloud nine but after not only hearing the newest rumors she learned of a secret Patrick has kept from Bryn.

Bryn is on the ride of a lifetime as she races against all odds and finds her way into Union with William. She will stop at nothing to have him with her and while the others are after her she will fight to the death to make what's wrong right. But will Bryn and William see the day they will finally be united? Will they lose it all just to have each other?

Last thoughts:

Really thought out, the ending was perfect, the whole story was beautiful. I hate to let go of this world, just being new to it all but all great things must come to an end; that I do realize. But I do hope to perhaps see a prequel to this series, because the masterful and creative world Nicole has created shouldn't be wasted. I definately wouldn't mind seeing this world again, even if it means being in the perspective of someone else. But in all I loved this entire series, I thought it was amazing and page gripping. It is an eye candy to me, something that will be sitting on my kindle's virtual bookshelf for some time to come. I can't wait to read more from this author because she is new and fresh and I believe her writing can be an asset to the literature world.(less)

I would have liked to have seen a bit more flesh in this final installment. All is resolved, and the skeleton of the story is great, but I feel like some parts were rushed and would have been better with a bit more description and details.

I suggest both since I have always loved Patrick and would love to get inside his head (he's more my type of man.. Sigh.. Patrick..). Patrick so fiercely devoted to those he loves while keeping it real and playful (insert far off dreamy look here). William, of course, is for obvious reasons!

What I do know about NW female characters is that they are bull-headed and ker-ay-zee, and Bryn does not disappoint.
