    I wasn’t sure Ben could ever deserve Cory, and admittedly it took most of book to believe it, but Ben definitely redeemed himself. The best part of this book is Cory. OMG so much strength. I think she’s the best FMC in this series and maybe my favorite of all of the Spearmans. This family is always keeps me hooked. I’m not sure what’s next but I can’t wait!

    🎧AUDIOBOOK REVIEW🎧 Finally! Benedict and Cory have their HEA! I've been waiting for this story for so long. The teasing in all the previous books with angst and unrequited love! Finally we have the answer! This story hurt my heart at points but put it all together at the end. It was so perfect and exactly what I needed! #claudiaburgoareviewteam #claudiaburgoaaudioreviewteam

    Cory and Ben’s story was a long time coming, mostly because of Ben’s inability to be honest with himself, Cory and her overprotective brothers. But it was too short for me, as well. While it was less angsty than many of the books in this series, I kept wishing it would be more so! Strange, I know, because I tend to not connect with overly angst-ridden stories. For as much as Ben needed to grow and deal with his own issues, the way Cory chose to choose herself wasn’t without consequences to others who didn’t deserve the hurt. Like Bernie, which put me at odds with Cory, even as I understood her reasoning. My very favorite thing…their text messages. So much can be lost in translation when texting. I think Claudia did a fantastic job amping up the feelings and chemistry with them. That whole idea brought it all together for me. I’ll miss the Spearman family, even knowing they’ll pop up elsewhere along the line somewhere. Cory and Ben ended their series with a quiet, sweet bang. 4.5 stars

    Back to the bay… This was angsty and kind of a lot of unnecessary drama. Ben keeps breaking Cory’s heart over and over again. He needs to own that and he never quite does. He becomes a father and again when he prevents Cory from getting too close to his kid. She needs to grow up away from Ben. But she definitely has a type. It’s Ben. Recommend. 4.5

    Claudia Burgoa has done it again! I absolutely loved Where We Belong; it is an incredible best friend’s little sister love story. It is the eighth and final book in her Paradise Bay Billionaire Brothers series. Where We Belong was bittersweet for me knowing that it is the final books in the series and saying goodbye to Paradise Bay. Claudia Burgoa continues to show that she is an amazing storyteller and has once again provided her readers with amazing characters. I love that she continues to write the stories that I love to read. I love all the characters in Where We Belong, they feel like family! Where We Belong filled me with a rollercoaster of emotions, it was impossible to put it down, and I loved every moment on every page. My favorite part of Where We Belong is how Claudia Burgoa incorporates the title of the book into the love story. Who does not love hot sexy men, strong females, loving families, and friends, who always support one another? I love how Claudia Burgoa always manages to create the "perfect" heroine, who is a strong woman on her own, to balance out the sexy, swoon worthy men. I really enjoy how the book is told in the first person from the perspective of the main characters. I love getting the insight and feelings from the different characters. Where We Belong is filled with heartbreaking and heartwarming moments that I have come to love and expect in Claudia Burgoa love story, and she did not disappoint, especially with the poignant and bittersweet moments that filled this page turner. Where We Belong is a best friend’s little sister love story between Benedict “Ben” Farrow, physician and single father to Bernadette, and his best friend Heath’s little sister Cordelia “Cory” Spearman. Ben has been warned away from Cory for years by all of her older brothers. Ben had a difficult upbringing and does not trust easily and has never felt that he was worthy of Cory’s love. Ben’s response when his daughter, Bernie calls Cory “Mama” was heartbreaking and caused Cory to flee from Ben, Bernie, and Paradise Bay. I love how Bernie continues to ask about Cory. Cory is dating another man that is emotionally unavailable. With his brother Derek’s help, Ben started therapy and reaches out to Cory. Ben and Cory had plans to build an inn at the vineyard in Paradise Bay, this dream has never become a reality. Ben reaches out to Heath to let him know about his feelings toward Cory, and with Atzi’s help, Ben decides to try to mend Cory’s broken heart. As Cory and Ben begin spending time together without Bernie things change between them. I love all the plans that they have for the inn, a dream come true for Cory. I love the chemistry between Cory and Ben, and everything that Ben does to let Cory know how he feels about her. I love how Ben approaches Lysander about his feelings for Cory. Ben’s proposal and the location of the proposal is another favorite part of the love story. My favorite part is the ending of the love story and Bernie’s reaction when she finds Cory in Ben’s bedroom. One of my favorite parts is the texting that happens between Cory and Ben, I love their playful banter. Cory always felt that Fern was “Daddy’s girl” and was not sure if her father loved her, I love the heart-to-heart texting between Aslan and Cory where he set her straight about her father’s feeling for her. I love the characters and the family dynamic in Where We Belong, the characters feel like family and friends. I enjoyed all the interactions between the Spearman family, the characters feel like family and friends. I enjoyed all the interactions between the Spearman siblings, especially their teasing that made me laugh. I loved all the characters in Where We Belong, it felt like a family reunion and catching up with the other Spearmans and the new little Spearmans. Who does not love family and friends that always have each other’s backs? I thoroughly enjoyed Where We Belong, a final farewell to Paradise Bay with a best friend’s little love story that turns into true love? Highly recommend this incredible love story. I received an advance copy from the author.
