OK, this is where the rubber hits the road, so to speak. After of about 10 years of the on and off affair, Jack and Sara have reached their limits.They act like a married couple of the verge of divorce or worse. Most of the time they can be civil, but the minute their attraction comes into play... just close the door and throw away the key! Let them fight it out.By this point, it is obvious what Jack is seeking is the unconditional love he never received as he was growing up. If you have not read House Rules, do yourself a favor and read it right now. It is a novella and it will enlighten you as to where Jack is coming from.Two adults so deeply in love and scared to be vulnerable and give a little, holding on to their pride and their stubbornness is not a healthy situation. They are oil and vinegar... great flavor on a salad and they complement each other, but unable to mix together without an emulsifying third element. I think that third element is Katie. This installment resolves the issues, and along the way, you will be gripping the arms of your chair, so brace up for this bumpy and thrilling ride. Closing Costs is the third book in the Steward Realty series by Liz Crowe. Honestly, what can be said about this love saga?

At times, this story is frustrating but so humanly normal you have to continue reading just to see if it all turns out alright in the end and whether Sara will actually achieve her “Happy Ever After” she is looking for.If you thought Sara and Jack’s relationship was complicated in the previous two instalments, it’s nothing to how complex everything is now.

As the general manager of Stewart Realty, his own level of responsibility for the well-being of others has ramped up. He’s even honed his caretaking skills, now that he has someone who loves him unconditionally. Continuing to invest effort and rebuild their relationship, he and Sara grow close as friends.
