I have loved all the books in the Ardor Creek series❤❤, and FUTURES ENTWINED holds a special place in my heart. Jeremy the famous author I instantly liked, because who doesn’t like the dad who pretends to be a dork to make his twin daughters laugh? He and his ex, Jen, have a good relationship after their separation, something that is tested through several trying events throughout the novel (this one had lots of drama, which I loved!)

But it was Heather who really made the book magic for me and who I wanted so fiercely to see have that HEA because who among us hasn’t had bad things happen to them by the time they’re at Heather and Jeremy’s ages? Heather has been through it all and then some, with mentally unstable parents (who are now gone, leaving her alone in the world), a bad marriage she got into way too young as a means of escape, a bad reputation that she now recognizes was a defense mechanism for all the terrible things happening to her. She’s frosty at times, and snarky at others, but she wants to make amends and make something different for herself now in Ardor Creek and you can’t help but see the goodness inside that hard exterior, and the possibilities… and I loved devouring every page as she, Jeremy and the twins slowly (over the course of highly dangerous makeup nights and other adventures) grew into something more.

Also, I always love that we get to see all the returning characters from the other Ardor Creek books. They’re really a family and it’s fun seeing them horse around and joke in group scenes. I absolutely loved this book and even though I’m a little sad to see the series is over I can’t wait to see what Ayla Asher has in store for us next!
