I haven't read the first two books in this series but decided to pick it up after reading another Karina Halle book last month. This was a quick read that grabs your attention from the beginning and gets you invested in the characters and story right away. It's interesting to read some other reviews and see how those who have read the entire series chronologically have responded to the story and I definitely wish I did that so that I would have been able to track character development. However, I was still able to empathize with the two main characters and overall enjoyed the story.

Pascal is learning his lady has some balls, “where are you going?” I reach out for her, but she steps back out of the way. “You’re just going to grab my crotch, drink my whiskey, and leave?” The man is quite possessive, “I am a snob,” I admit, trying to pull my plate away. “And I told you, I don’t share, whether that means you or potatoes.” I liked this book, I liked Pascal.

This is Pascal's story and I have to say, I was hesitant to read his book, especially since I hated him in book 1 and 2, but I should have known Karina would make me love him. I understand his character much more now, and the way he was with Gabrielle was so sweet and they definitely had some chemistry! Disavow was a great addition to this series and I hope we see more of this family, and if not, I have to say this is the perfect ending.

Great conclusion to the Dumonts trilogy. I was going to be hard pressed to ever be a fan of Paschal! Halle managed to turn me around! Loved Paschal by the half way point and especially loved Gabrielle. So glad for the way the story and family dynamics worked out. Great series!
