My rating for One Last Chance:
Before we dive into my thoughts, let's go over the tropes. In this book we have friends to lovers, a workplace romance, a second chance of sorts, and an age gap (roughly 7 years).
Okay on to my long winded thoughts...
In all of the Kane Brothers books, I had a feeling that Daisy was a strong woman. One Last Chance proved that she is, and that she can do anything she puts her mind to. Her big brothers were just overprotective, and wanted to support/care for her. If you've read Reclaiming Brave, then you know that Sierra was on Daisy about submitting her resume to the family company. Daisy was against it at first, but ultimately gave in. Thankfully she did, and it allowed her to take on this new journey. Plus she had a pseudo-family waiting for her in Scotland, as Sierra's family considered her one of their own. Also when Daisy accepted the position, and was gearing up to leave, the conversation she had with Jax brought tears to my eyes. He understood what it meant to leave to an unfamiliar setting where you know virtually no one.
I was so glad to finally read Finn and Daisy's story. Especially since it seems so long ago that I read My Christmas Wish. (it wasn't that long ago, but I read so much that it just feels forever ago.) Now though here we are getting to see Daisy move to Scotland, reconnect with Finn, and have this new adventure. She's on her own without her brothers or her best friend, and it's a major change. Thankfully she has Finn, Aaron, Callum, and Lachlan nearby for support.
Things with Daisy and Finn started off slowly. He was fighting it for so long with really no explanation. It was honestly frustrating because you could see their mutual attraction. Yet he was still dealing with his past relationship issues, and perhaps doing a little projection. When it came to the point where I thought things were going to advance, it was actually the demise. I wasn't expecting it quite yet. When all of that went down it was a little much. I was shocked by the response, and how everything was handled.
After all of that went down I was even more grateful that Daisy had found a good group of friends shortly after arriving in Scotland. That sense of community was just what she needed, and she had someone other than Sierra's family. Of course there had to be one creeper in that first year group, and honestly that man was a walking red flag. At first I thought he was just a bit awkward, until the true colors were shown. That part of the book broke my heart, even more so than the break up, and I had tears rolling down my cheeks. Now I'll be honest, I debated how to bring this trigger/content warning to light as it is a bit of a spoiler for the story. I don't feel right though not disclosing it especially if it is something another reader has been affected by. So TW/CW for attempted SA and physical.
The work situation was really interesting to read about. I love the challenge that James came up with as a way to test out the new hires. The passion that these characters put into their work was impressive. I was honestly thankful that the competition didn't work out the way I envisioned.

I want to talk about how Daisy and Finn got back together! I do! But I can't because of spoilers. Just know that he is by her side when she needs him.
One thing I know from reading One Last Chance, as well as all the Kane Brothers books, I am absolutely loving this family! I do wish I had closure for one storyline that took place in Denver's book, but maybe one day Gina Azzi will address that.

Have you read the Kane Brothers trilogy or the Finding Love in Scotland series? These books have been out for a while now, but I just discovered them and really enjoyed the stories.
Happy Reading,
