Claimed

4.5 stars

Best of the 5 books. I liked how this wrapped up the other stories so neatly and tied everything together.

My tears are still flowing as I write this review because I just loved this series so much! I truly truly feel like I've watched these women grow from teenagers into adults, and it's so bittersweet. The epilogues in this book squeezed my heart, and I really think this series will be in my heart for a long time. Claimed in the fifth installment in the Willow Springs series, and it follows Ivy, our final Magic Willow who is still searching for someone to fill a void left by her high school sweetheart, and Ty, Ivy's high school sweetheart who made it big in Nashville but finds himself burnt out. When Ty comes to Willow Springs for his sisters wedding (which Ivy is planning) he is determined to make things right with Ivy. Ivy is resistant at first and neither of them know what their future will hold, but their love is rekindled. This is second-chance romance at its finest. The longing, the emotions, the forgiveness, the tension— all of it, so good! I recommend this series to anyone who like small town romance, especially if you also like coming of age.
