STANTON BLISS is the final book in Josh and Tash's story. I wasn't sure there was any more drama these two could possibly get into, considering everything they'd been through in the previous books. But TL Swan find a few more things to put this couple through before they got their happily ever after.

The story picks up with Josh and Tash finally getting married. But in their rush to finish what their captors and tormentors tried to stop them from doing, neither one of them bothered to deal with the repercussions of everything they went through. And that brings me to my biggest issue with the characters. Tash is a psychologist, yet she barrels down these paths that had me wondering what she was doing and why. Then there was their friend Nicholas, who is also a psychologist,who often took his own sweet time stepping in to help Josh and Tash. It frustrated me. I understand not dealing with what they'd been through. And even as a professional, not able to deal with it. But I'd think someone close to them would push help on them rather than letting them bob around.

What I loved in this series was the secondary characters. And I was hoping with this last book, we might get a bit of closer on their secondary storylines. Adrian, Bridget, Abbie and Camaren all get a mention in the epilogue, but we don't find out what happened out of those secondary storylines.

A satisfying ending to the series. After everything they'd been through, it was nice to see them settle into their family life. They truly had found their bliss.
