This is the third book in the Of Love and Madness Series and the books need to be read in order.

Kate Donaldson has left her life behind her, except her dog Charlie, and has headed for Maine to figure out her place in life. She is lost and is scared of the world around her and has left everyone in the dark about her whereabouts except for Tom, the lover of her recently deceased best friend Joey.

In Maine Kate struggles with living and is afraid to leave her house and relies on a neighbor's grandson, Shane to buy her groceries. When her cranky neighbor, Harold begins to giver her seafood she begings to find solace in cooking for Harold.

With the help of her therapist, Dr. Elizabeth Crane, Tom, and her new friendship with Harold and his son Jeff, she begins to find strength within herself and the ability to find out what she wants in life and what her role is.

Yet will she open her door to her past, and specifically her family? Will she be able to heal the wounds of the past for a promising future?

I absolutely loved this series!! This series was so full of emotion and one of those stories that can reach out and grab any reader, especially any woman with children who feels lost within their own life. It is honestly one of the best series I have ever read.

I loved Kate through this whole series and I was anxiously waiting to see what would happen when in the end with her. She had been through so much her whole life and it finally got to the point in the last book when she needed to find her place in life. I loved when she finally got up the courage to see Dr. Crane and how much she was able to help Kate through. She truly had to teach Kate that she was not responsible for so much of the bad things in her life and that she couldn't hide behind what others said. This resonated with me so much and I could truly relate with Kate on so many levels. I think I needed Kate to succeed just to show myself that I could get through all of the hurdles that I have been facing in my own life. Fiction or not, it truly stuck with me.

Kate's friendship with Tom was strong based on the relationship that each had with Joey and Joey knew that Kate would need a helping hand through everything. Even though Tom was going through his own grief he continued to help Kate through all of her struggles and was there for her.

I also loved the friendship that Kate had with Harold and Jeff and how simply it started yet it evolved into something that none of them were expecting but that all of them truly needed. Jeff provided Kate with an unbiased ear to talk when she needed to without any pressure and expectations.

I liked how Devin was able to keep what he knew a secret and help his mom through when she needed him but when he knew that she was ok he let Billy know what was happening. One of my favorite things was the counselling sessions between them and Liz and all of the open and honest discussions that took place.

The ending of the book was truly beautiful and peaceful. I loved the way it all ended and how everything seemed to have a sense of calm. I truly loved this series and can't wait for more from this author!!

I absolutely LOVE this series!!  I've re-read the first two books several times already, and book 3 once because honestly that was my least favorite out of the three. I really do wish this could've been a much longer series.  I think hearing more about the guys in Seattle, meeting their friends, meeting Copeland's mom, seeing how the 6 of them adapt to 'normal' life in Seattle when not touring and seeing how Ransom and Paxton's relationship grows over time would have been great to read about.  To me the ending to the series seemed rushed and unfinished; this series, in my opinion, deserved so much more.

A small gripe, however, is that we did not get to see Ran and Pax 'go all the way'.  Most of the characters had thought to themselves 'when is it going to happen' but when it's written into the story we're just told they did it.  I personally was waiting for that because those two went from hating to loving each other and I wanted to witness how those two handled everything that was happening between the two od them.  When it happened with Derek, I thought to myself that it didn't feel like that fit with the story.

However, this very well might be my favorite series of all time!  I thought nothing could top Taryn Elliott/Cari Quinn's series Lost in Oblivion (not to be confused with Found in Oblivion, which I didn't enjoy).  I've re-read most of those books at least 2, sometimes 3 times, and there's ALOT of them! LOL

I'm going back to start re-reading book 1 again. I am definitely not ready to say goodbye to the guys and Lilith!  Maybe Ms. Stunich could put out a novella at some point that's set a few years in the future when LilIth gets married and/or has a baby. I would love to see that!

This is one of my all time favorite series.  I read the first few books so many times I had to rebuy them.  Now with the digital copies I always have them with me when I need a Cassie fix (or Pritkin).  It is well worth the time to read them all!

I have to say that I love this series!!  Damon and Jo are one of my very favorite couples, and Grams has got to be one of my very favorite characters ever!! Oh and I love Brian too!! I enjoyed this final installment of the series but I did find it to be a little short and rushed and would of preferred it to be added on to end of Restore Me.  But that does not stop my love of this series or the characters.  I was not disappointed at all, I guess I just wanted a little more of them.  As always there are some great twists and turns and I was kept on the edge of my seat for a large portion of the book.  This book does wrap everything up and does have a sense of finality to it.  I was HOPING we would see more from Jo and Damon but I am very satisfied with the ending.  All in all this is a must read book/series and would recommend it to everyone! AND it wouldnt hurt my feelings if we got a little more from them.

Accept Me was good but a little rushed to me. I guess it doesnt help that I wasn't ready for this series to end! I love reading about Jo and Damon. On top of bonding with the 2 main characters I loved the majority of the other characters too! Grams, Noni and Brian always made me smile and kept the story rolling. Of course on top of a great love story there was the drama, and oh boy the drama was good! It kept me on my toes and kept me wanting more. You will not regret reading this series. So if you haven't read it yet hurry up and start reading! You won't regret it! I give this book 4.5 stars

Seriously one of my favorite series ever!! This story has the best characters in it!! Andrew the confused straight guy and Christian the adorably good looking flirty bi(but more for the boys then girls). Their journey is interesting and at times intense! I loved reading it and getting lost in this book! Its a shorter read then other books but I don't mind at all! Ive read this series more times then probably healthy lol but cant help it...its that good!! :)

Still one of my favorite series, and one of my favorite authors.  I like how he ties Lost Fleet series together with the Lost Stars series.  Unhappily waiting for the next in both series!

This is one of the absolute best series I have ever read. It's amazing through and through. I was so anxious to get the last book, but now that it's done I'm mortified. I'm already considering a reread!
