She’s spent eight years coming to terms with the new parameters of her life while resigning herself to the idea that “happily ever afters” are best left to fairytales. Sales manager for her successful real estate office and juggling an added element of responsibility she never thought she’d face, Sara continues to...more

In Closing Costs the years have flown by and both Jack and Sara have moved on with their careers but can seem to move on from or to each other. Sara's family continues to cause friction even when they are just trying to help. The friction caused by Sara's family rubs everyone not just Sara effecting everyone's relationships. Over the course of the years covered in these books Jack has done a lot of growing up and so has Sara but both of them remain stubborn through and through. With the hope of...more
This final book of the Sara & Jack saga, drove me crazy. I really wanted to love the series, but I could not get past their troubled relationship which made me sort of hate "closing costs". Not sure if it really is in tune with today's relationships from all aspects especially as their story and their HEA takes them over 8 years to get.
Both Sara and Jack have their issues, her being immature, selfish and insecure. But then again as much as I hated Sara at times, I could also sympathise with...more

In the final installment in the Stewart Realty Company series, readers will finally a conclusion to Jack Gordan and Sara Thornton's love story. It's not an easy ending and it takes eight years to get there...but we finally do get an ending to their story.
Can I say I could not stand Sara? That's not too harsh is it? She grated on my nerves. She was whiny and bitchy and strung poor Jack around for one year too many. She wanted him, she didn't want him, she strung him along, then pushed hi...more

Closing Costs is the third book in the Steward Realty series by Liz Crowe.
Honestly, what can be said about this love saga? It has everything you are looking for; Angst, passion and lots of sexual tension.
Closing Cost continues the story of Sara and Jack and spans over several years. At times, this story is frustrating but so humanly normal you have to continue reading just to see if it all turns out alright in the end and whether Sara will actually achieve her “Happy Ever After” she is looking...more

Closing Costs is a roller-coaster ride of a story as Jack and Sara navigate their love and pride. Sara and Jack were once engaged and have been in love for years but something always gets in the way of their relationship. Usually it is miscommunication or their own issues, but this time its Katie that gets in the middle of their relationship.
Katie is Sara’s daughter. Sara doesn’t want to find out who the father is. It could be either Jack or Craig but she is determined to raise Katie on her own...more

Though Closing Costs is considered a part of the Stewart Realty series, I am starting to see it more as another chapter in the Jack and Sara saga. Both characters have almost come full circle but there are still a few things in store for both of them. To me, they're a symbol of real people in the real world. No one is ever 100% happy in their life, let alone their relationships. Sometimes those who pretend to be the happiest are the most miserable in li...more

Liz Crowe does another outstanding job keeping us on the emotional roller coaster. I was frustrated all the way to the end and of course it was a great frustration! As the story opens I was wondering what I had missed, but Liz brings you up to speed very quickly on what is happening with Sara and the birth of her daughter. As things progress and regress with Jack and Sara you can't help but cheer them on that they will make the right decisions and when they continue down the same path they alway...more

Final installment of the Stewart Realty series...ups and downs. Emotional roller coaster. I know alot of people were irritated by Sara in this book, and yes, I was at times, but mostly I understood her. Having had a similar relationship (like, intense love, child, then confusion) I could "get"her side of this.
Left me tired, and emotionally drained. Cried towards the end. Signs of a good read. Liz Crowe, can't wait for more

In this epic conclusion to Liz Crowe's The Realtors series, things for Sara Thornton and Jack Gordon are both completely different and exactly the same. Their circumstances are wildly different, something they've both spent a great deal of time coming to terms with. Their feelings, however, remain the same, however much they try to deny it.
Despite their difficulty in getting used to the new things in their lives, they've actually been beneficial in terms of forcing the pair of them together and...more

***A few days later, I re-read this review. I sound angry and snarky, not usually my style. But that bodes well for a book. Obviously I was emotionally involved enough to be angry. So if you like the type of book where there is lots of back and forth and love/hate; way more apart than together, this may be the book for you. I know many who love that. This series was highly recommended, and this review is my opinion.

This book continues Sara and Jacks journey in their lives. This book goes a bit off the track of nothing but passionate sex and the yo-yoing of Sara and Jacks relationship. Sara just had a baby and this book follows Sara, Jack, Craig, and all the other great characters from the other books as they watch Katie grow. Sara makes a bold call when she says that she doesn’t know if Craig or Jack is really the father of Katie, but doesn’t want to find out either....more

3.75 STARS Oh where to begin? Can you say drammmma? yep! because there is lots of it in this book and Jack and Sara are the most stubborn characters I have ever come across. I will say that I liked Jack a whole lot better than Sara in this book.
In Closing Costs we learn that Sara is pregnant and unsure of who the real father is, whether it is Jack, the one she truly deeply loves even though she is the most difficult and stubborn woman he has ever crossed, and will not admit to herself nor anyone

Painful!
The book takes place over what, a decade? It's a decade of mind games, pathetic misunderstandings and immaturity.
I liked books 1 & 2, but this one? Holy hell. It's just too much. How much pain and suffering can two people bring to each other? Over how long a period of time? All the while there is a child that has to deal with two parents that are screwed in the head.
Speaking of which, it seemed so much of the time that to Sara, the child was a pain to be dealt with...until she almo...more

Closing Costs is the third book in Liz Crowe's Realtor's series. I thoroughly enjoyed the first two books, finishing each almost overnight from the need to see what happens next. The intrigue, excitement, the sexual tension and the frustration were enough to have you hurriedly turning the pages, dying for the rest of the story. However, I have to say that Closing Costs was my absolute favourite of the three!

I couldn't even finish...it was more of Sara whiney indecision. I started it...and read a few chapters and seeing her tag the guys along, and play with everyones emotions (Craig, Jack, Suzanne, Blake, etc...)...but refusing to be honest with her own feelings because she "might get hurt". Her "come here" - "stay away" game got old in the first two books...and was down right annoying by this one. And seeing her have temper tantrums one right after another with her parents, the guys, her brother......more
Closing Costs has to be one of my favourite novels in the Stewart Realty series. The on again / off again Jack and Sara saga is pushed to the absolute limit! I found that I became much closer to the characters of Jack and Sara, understanding so much more of what their relationship is and why there is always constant drama. Liz Crowe has done a brilliant job with these characters! Like the rest of this Stewart Realty series, all of the characters from the first two novels are back and we get a li...more
I'm reviewing the final part of the original three books about Jack and Sara. This series (so far, more to read) was quite entertaining and filed with so many emotions I felt like I was spinning. I loved the humor and character interactions. There were intense moments that were good and bad. I felt torn in the third book and felt a few heart palpitations that I wasn't sure I would recover from. In the end my heart was overflowing and I adored Jack and Sara...what a wonderful story...I still love...more
I know, I know... I griped about this book through my entire progression postings & I haven't changed my mind about being frustrated; however, the book was still great. I give books 5 stars that I can't put down... I couldn't put this one down either, but I gave it 4 stars because I think Jack & Sara's relationship should or could have been resolved in the last book. This going back & forth for 3 entire books was a little much & repetitive. However, it still had you coming back f...more
CLOSING COSTS was all I expected and more. Liz Crowe writes characters who are frustratingly human. I found myself wishing I could smack Jack and Sarah upside the head numerous times. Seriously? Can two people make their lives any more difficult? Knowing these two, I'm sure they can. And haven't we all known people just like them? The reader is lucky enough to get an understanding of Jack and see emotions and motivations that Sara seldom has access to. If he would just let Sara see what we see,...more

Perfection. That is the word that best describes Closing Costs, the third installment of Liz Crowe’s Realtors Series. Believe me when I say, when it comes to books and/or series, perfection is not a term that I use very often. There is always some thought, direction, developement or aspect that hangs me up, but there is NOT one thing about this book that I didn’t like or think fit the overall series ARC perfectly. Now I know that everyone’s idea abo...more

Closing Costs
Finally - the conclusion of Jack and Sarah. I REALLY wanted to like the final installment, but it was painful! After 10 years there is still silly misunderstandings and games. Come on...really?!? Way too much sexual tension and angst for me. I wanted to smack the s--t out of Sarah.
The only reason I finished the book was to find out if Jack found his HEA.

I enjoyed this conclusion to Sarah and Jack’s story. Yes there was a lot of back and forth throughout their relationship but for me this was the closure that I needed – their happily ever after. No relationship is perfect or easy – I think that Liz did a great job being realistic and true to the characters and her readers. I loved how Liz built upon the supporting characters. I hope that she writes more so we can find out what happens with them in their lives. Job well done!
Sara, Sara,Sara! With her stubborn mannerism & selfishness did not deserve neither her daughter or Jack. Totally unhealthy triangle here, not to mention NASTY since she didn't know who her baby daddy was. This series totally decline each consecutive book for me :-/. 2 stars for keeping me interested enough to learn the ending of the Craig/Sara/Jack ordeal.
Oh, there's a bit of m/m play in this series (the last book to this series is mostly that)...fair warning..I got burned again dammit!

The beginning of this series was really good. I loved the first book, and the second was pretty good, but by this third installment of the Jack saga, I was pretty much over it. It was difficult to read through til the end because I was tired of this duo not getting their s*it together and realize they were fighting what was inevitable. All in all, I recommend the first and second book which tells the story of Jack. I haven't read the last three of the series but the reviews seem like they are ju...more
OK. I finished this series in one day. Not because they are short (about 3500 locations on kindle each), I just couldn't stop. I had to find out how it would end. I can finally breathe. I was so frustrated with the characters. The author drew me in so much that my poor kids had to eat sandwiches for supper. Liz definitely spins a tale and keeps you in there spinning until the end. I loved it!

Liz is a great writer. There are things I enjoy about this series. I hate to give a bad review but in all honesty, this book was exhausting. Way too much of Jack and Sara avoiding each other, mostly Sara. It seems Sara will be with any guy that is there for the moment. Just read the last couple chapters and move on.

“Look, I'm good okay. I'm her..." he stopped dead. The woman at the desk looked up expectantly, "uncle." His voice faded.
"Katie certainly has a lot of those, " the annoying person chirped before handing his ID back and pointing to a side door. SHe gave him a different sort of look. This one he recognized. He smiled at her. She was sort of good looking, actually. "You gay like her other uncles?" Jack laughed.
"Nope.”
