Loving Liam
Happily ever after isn’t always easy…
Helen and Liam are engaged to be married and their relationship is stronger than ever. But when Helen encourages the young doctor to mend fences with his estranged family before the wedding, she unintentionally opens a dangerous can of worms.
A devastating secret from Liam’s past emerges, threatening to tear him apart. The horrors of his family skeletons make him feel that it is a huge mistake to try to start a new family with Helen. Unable to cope, he pushes everyone away, including his fiancée and even his best friend Owen.
Now Helen must do all she can to save the man who has saved her so many times. Liam has put himself on the line to help her heal in the past, and she hopes to do the same — if she can even get close enough to try…

This book was the last book in the Clarity series by Loretta Lost! I was sad to read this book, because I wasn't ready for it to end, but this book was absolutely amazing and a wonderful way to end the series.
Book 5 focuses a lot on Liam. We learn a little more about him and his childhood in book 4, but this book is where things get intense. Liam has been having the same dream since he was little. He never knew what it meant but lately he has been having it more and more and he can't sleep. Liam's health is declining and him and Helen trying to have a child and plan a wedding isn't helping. Helen is worried about their future baby's genetics, and steals Liam's DNA to do a test without telling him! You will never guess what life changing information Helen discovers. How will she tell Liam? Will he ever forgive her? Is Liam going to call off the wedding?
This book was super intense and kept me on my toes until the very last word! I couldn't believe all the secrets and Liam's child hood! This book really broke my heart. I have become really fond of Liam and I absolutely love Helen and him together. Those two characters are meant to be! They just constantly have the worlds most craziest obstacles thrown at them. I was speechless after this book! I had absolutely no words.
I have no idea how Loretta thinks of such an amazing story! This book is nothing but tragedy, secrets, love, friendship, betrayal, loyalty, family, and heartbreak. My emotions were flying through the pages! Loretta is capable of really great things! Her books are proof.

I was a little sad that we didn't get to see Liam and Winter get married in the last book, so this book was so wonderful!! We get go back and and see what they go through trying to have a baby and preparing for a small wedding. Clarity 5: Loving Liam contains mystery, suspense, romance and of course what would this story be without Owens quirky humor to keep us giggling?
At the end she slams our heart with an ending so emotional that I went through half a box of tissues. VERY wonderful conclusion to an awesome story!! This book was as amazing as all the others, I got to feel like I know the characters so well, it will be sad to let them go!
Once again a Home Run from one of my favorite authors! Loretta Lost has outdone herself once again!

I can't say this was my favorite installment, but it was an okay read.
The main characters annoyed me a few times in this one, so I didn't like them as much as I did in the previous books.
Despite this being quite short, it dragged in areas for me, and I felt quite bored at points because of it.
Overall, An okay read.

Great story.
It was awesome to revisit Liam and Helen. If you've ever read the other books, then you know that their relationship had a rocky beginning and middle. Now engaged, they just have one more hurdle to overcome and it involves Liam's past.
I was shocked when I found out what he was hiding, but by the end of the book everything was resolved. Good ending to the series.

I loved this book couldn't put it down. Liam was starting to get nightmares about when he was 4 years old and holding a new born baby. These nightmares had started when him and Helen were trying to get pregnant. When Helen with the help from Owen got Liams DNA without him knowing found out something shocking about his family.

A little disappointed
With a heavy heart I must say I was very disappointed with this book. It made Helen seem very weak and unlike herself in the other books.

Enjoyable series
You are taken through the ups and downs of winter and liams relationship. This is the ending this couple deserves

Clarity 5
Helen and Liam are about to get married in a few weeks. They've been trying to get pregnant for a few months now but all test come up negative. Liam is having nightmares about leaving a new born baby girl on the side of the road. When Helen sees her dr, the Dr recommends a genetics DNA test done. Liam disagrees and sadly Helen goes behind his back and gets his DNA. Test results prove that he has a sister. Should Helen hunt her down and invite her to the wedding? Or will Liam walk away because Helen went behind his back? Great read.

Tickly wrapped up
I have to say I was disappointed this author chose to weave this story in with another series so it felt like parts were missing. It was bad enough being somewhat tricked to buy five short books to finish what could've been done in two books. The story itself wrapped up nicely in the last installment.

Why do books have to end?
Some books you read and gall in love with characters you never want their stories to end. Clarity and Eternity were just that ....amazing characters that you didn't want to let go. Can't wait to start reading the next series!

The final book of the Clarity series does a great job in concluding a wonderful series! The scenes are so well written out that one can visualize them while reading it! Loretta is definitely my favourite writer!!

The book was good, but I really would have liked the ending to finish out a bit more than it did. I felt like it just kind of stopped. Paint the picture of what happened.

Not my favourite in the series, but it was a okay read. Even though it was a shorter book, it dragged on in some parts, and I felt quite bored.
