Wake #3
Anchor
I believe in love at first sight.
Now I know soulmates exist.
Nothing has ever been easy for us.
Every fight, every struggle, has been worth it.
I’m stubborn, but what woman isn’t?
She’s hard work and I love the overtime.
He’s frustrating and unpredictable. I hope he never changes.
I love driving her crazy. That’s half the fun.
Lou’s sexy curls.
Honeybee’s pink nose.
He still looks at me like I’m precious and unflawed.
She treats me like I’m the center of her world.
Our future will be full of happiness.
Despite everything, we’re two of the lucky ones.
I took the bait.
She was a lucky catch.
He is the wind in my sail.
She’s the anchor that grounds me.
The wake our love made is beautiful.
Every day I thank God for her.
No matter the hurdles, we’ve jumped them side-by-side.
No matter the obstacles, we’ve made it through together.
For better or for worse, I’d do it again.
I’ll love and protect her all the days of my life.
We made it.
We always will.

This book is like one big epilogue. After the enormous amount of angst in Bait, and some drama in Sail, we finally have Casey and Blake's happily ever after. The cover says it all so I don't think I will spoil much if I say that this 3rd installment revolves around their wedding. After all bad that happened to them and between them, after all the hurt and pain they inflicted on each other, after finally waking up and having to fight for the future together, Casey and Blake get their well deserved happiness. This book is the tamest one of the trilogy, no drama, no nervousness, just the tale about them being in a happy relationship. We get a lot of love, some steamy sex and see that main characters are indeed perfect for each other.
One thing that was bothering me though was too little dialogue and too much inner thoughts. And I just can't shake the feeling that everything could have been wrapped up in two books and there was no need to drag the story into book three.
We also get short Reggie's POV, which I liked very much because I'm curious about him and I know he will get his own book, which I admit I will gladly read.
All in all, it was an ok reading and if you liked previous two books in this series and if Casey and Blake stole your hearts than you will enjoy this one too.

You can definitely tell this is the last book and it was everything sweet and romantic that you would hope it would be.
Blake and Casey are moving forward with their lives and taking the next step...or two. The bumblebee box was sooo bittersweet and made me tear up a bit! And how their "parties" came together...that was pretty genius and hot! The event in Oregon was amazing...I loved the empty chair and that Dr. Rex was there. Everything just came together.
And we got some special chapters with other character's POVs. I was especially happy to find out there is a spin off series (Wake Family) about them although it seems like only the first book, Knot, is out. (It's been rereleased into two books now, Twisted Desire and Tethered Love.)
So, that's it for Casey and Blake. It was a long time coming with a few bumps in the road but overall, I really enjoyed their story and I loved how things worked out for them. I will miss Lou and his honeybee! ♥

I literally just finished Anchor and holy hell did Mo Mabie nail it. Like completely knocked it out of the park brilliance. It is THAT good.
If you've read Bait and Sail, you already know the how tough of a journey Blake and Casey have had to endure trying so desperately to get their happily ever after. It was almost torture at times having to read the missed chances, the times apart, the wrong decisions each of them made through the years since they first laid eyes upon each other. And then we had to witness the brutal encounter at the end of Sail that almost felt like the ultimate demise of this love story.
Starting right up where Sail left off, we are treated to one of THE best conclusions to a trilogy ever. Not knowing what the world still had in store for our lovers, the author masterfully leads us through their star-crossed paths beautifully. Hoping for the best, wanting for Blake to survive her attack, there is no foregone conclusion here. I was on the edge of my chair not knowing how it would all play out. But my goodness, the absolute devotion Casey has for his honeybee stole my breath away. He continued to stand by her side no matter what and was gratefully rewarded with a love that he dared only let himself dream about.
The book is written in alternating POV's, which is favorite style of mine, with some thrown in by both Audrey and a possible beau I won't reveal here. Surely something is brewing there and the author gave us a glimpse of what she might have in store for those two in the future. Both Casey and Blake share their deepest thoughts, their lustful dreams and all the joy that each of them give to the other. Getting to witness firsthand how their love continues to bloom was pure bliss. Not only are they extremely passionate about one another, they truly like each other. The author puts us smack dab in the middle of their lives and you can't help but want to stay there indefinitely.
This well-written, sublimely delightful book kept my heart captive and I even shed a tear or two towards the end. If ever there was a couple who deserved true happiness, it is Blake and Casey. Maybe the way they went about things was not always the most honorable but you can't deny for even a second that they were meant to be. She truly is the Betty to his Lou.
You must read Bait and Sail first, in order to fully understand Anchor. It is a series worth reading. And one I won't soon forget.
A huge 5+++ stars.

I could not wait for the final book in the Wake Series. M. Mabie had me hooked with Bait, in love with Sail and I was anxiously waiting to be reunited with my favorite couple in Anchor. When Anchor appeared on my kindle, I dropped everything and dove right in. I knew from the cover that I was in for an emotional ride. ps... The cover gave me the chills!!!
HOLY BOOK HIGH!!! I'm on cloud 9 right now and I never want to get off!
BAM!! NAILED IT! HOMERUN!
We pick up right where Sail leaves off. Casey and Blake have been through Hell and back and God—the beginning of the book had me all wound up. Casey is by Blake's side after we witnessed Grant’s attack on Blake. Casey proves his love for Blake again and again, and WOW, he is at the top of my BBF list!!
“I love you, honeybee. So much. And there were times I thought I’d love you alone for the rest of my life. Loving you forever would have happened whether I got to keep you or not.”
Can I just marry him myself?!!!
Blake is slowly getting better and wants nothing more than to be Casey’s bride. She is so in love, so devoted. You travel with these two and just fall head over heels.
“It’s never the same. Our love startles us and keeps us on our toes. Our love is easy, but we have to work at it. Because its worth it.
“Never perfect. Never expected. Never finished.”
I loved every single second of Anchor. It was just pure perfection. I just want to squeeze Casey. LOVE HIM TO DEATH!!!
This series just got better and better with each book. The feels, the love, the highs, the lows. It has it all.
“Just like a good book, when it’s just right, you never want it to end.”
Casey and Blake, Anchor… I never wanted it to end!!! Phenomenal!!!

Review by Lisa Kane
He could heal me, distract me. Replace hurt with desire. Fear with ecstasy. Hate with love. Greedily, I just couldn't resist him.
Anchor provides soothing to my anxious soul. Bait shattered me, Sail calmed me down and Anchor is the salve to my open wounds. It begins just after Grant has done his worst and attacked Blake. Casey is devoted to making sure she heals both physically and mentally and will do anything to make sure this happens. Although make no mistake, Grant still has a few tricks up his sleeve.
If there was a pill I could take to make him disappear from my memory, I'd take two just in case. My ambivalence to him had changed. Intensified. I didn't just not want him. I hated him.
Once Blake begins the healing process, Casey wants nothing more than to make his honeybee his bride. After so much heartache, happiness is just within their reach. They have fought for it, and no one deserves it more.
"We don't mind work is what I should have said, I suppose. We fell in love. It wasn't the right time. It was inconvenient as f#*k and, at times, it hurt so bad. It would have been much easier to quit."
This is a time for celebration. Their friends and families could not be more supportive. They were not completely blinded to Blake's indifference regarding her first marriage-but when she is with Casey-she is a totally different woman.
There just may be an appearance from our resident beer whore Aly. Just typing this woman's name grates on my nerves. She's like a fly buzzing in my ear that I just want to squash. Will she cause trouble again?
I loved this story-it has a little sour, but every story needs a little angst right? But the sweet-oh, there are so many sweet parts. Blake and Casey could not be more in love and more confidant that the path they are taking together is the one they were meant to take. Read this, savor it and enjoy!
"My love for you owns me. It consumes me. It makes me reckless and sane, with it I'm both weaker and stronger than I'd ever be without it."

Wow...
Just WOW.
This book just absolutely blew my mind in the best possible way. Book 3 of series is usually the book I wish I would have skipped. In most of my FAV. series- book 3 almost killed it for me. I went into Anchor- praying for the best-expecting to be let down like I have in most cases.
BUT this time- the author actually proved to me where assuming gets you. This story was flawless. It was EVERYTHING I would have wanted for Casey and Blake and redemption for *things* that I knew could NEVER be redeemed. But she did it- she actually DID IT. My brain is still reeling and I finished 24 hours ago. The sweet words Casey says... The funny one liners were endless.. The proposal... THE WEDDING.
SWOOOOOOOOOON. Just perfection. All of it. EVERY.SINGLE.WORD.
M.Mabie not only wrote perfect book boyfriend.. She also wrote about a real relationship.. A flawed one. One that started in every way wrong but ended in every way right. NOTHING was easy about it. They fought (literally) every step of the way to get to their happily ever after but when they get there- it's seriously touching. I cried for the last 20% of this book. My heart was so happy and full of Blake and Casey love- my eyes were leaking. The details of the wedding, the surprises, the vows just touched my heart so deeply.
Every girl wants a guy to look at them like Casey looks at Blake. Hearing his voice never gets old.
"I love you, honeybee. So much. And there were times I thought I'd love you alone the rest of my life. Loving you forever would have happened whether I got to keep you or not." <3 <3 <3
I.can't.even.
So do yourself a favor- READ THIS BOOK. All that *chit* that Mabie put us through in Bait- she made up for in Anchor. This book stole a piece of my heart. One of THE BEST wedding scenes/books I've ever read.
HUGE FIVE STAR MUST READ OF 2015!!!!!

In October of 2014, I read the book Bait. I joined the support group, I bitched about Mo and all the pain she put us thru.
Several months later, she followed it up with Sail, and I could almost see where Blake and Casey's salvation was...I could almost smell it.
I "patiently" waited for Anchor...and only asked a few times if it would be released "tomorrow" (I was definitely worse with Sail). Maybe because I was worried about what she would do...what trials would Blake and Casey have to go thru to finally get their ending they needed?
I. Loved. Anchor.
Watching Casey and Blake find their ending, get thru all the troubles Betty and Lou created for themselves, and get to their ending - flawless!
Beautifully written, expect to shed some tears, and prepare to #DropAnchor

I HEART CASEY. For the entire series that was my mantra, he made the series for me from the very beginning. As for Blake, watching her mature and become the honeybee deserving of my Casey was an incredible, frustrating, throw your fucking kindle experience that I enjoyed very much. This finale was calm, filled with love and complete. Smooth sailing into the horizon.

REVIEW
"Love doesn't give a fuck about a piece of paper. When are you going to realize that this isn't just love? There isn't even a word for this."
So, if you read my review of SAIL, you would know that I freaked out and messaged the author asking WHY?? WHAT?? How was there another book??? I got my HEA in SAIL, but was surely convinced that I was missing something. So, I eagerly anticipated this book....I was SO excited it was coming out and I couldn't WAIT to read it!!!
The book came. I started it. Truthfully? I was LOVING Casey and Blake. They are THE perfect couple....problems and all. I have them on my 2015 Favorites List for just that. I love them....beyond reason. This couple puts the smile on my face and the sigh in my heart. They really are perfect.
This book mainly focused on (no surprise) the planning and time leading up to their wedding and all the 'fun' that goes with it. There wasn't the angst we got in Bait, or the drama we got in Sail....but I will say my FAVORITE parts about this whole book were:
◆ The alternating and DIFFERENT points of view; not typical and I LOVED it
◆ The desire and sexiness of these two; never-ending
◆ The epilogue was phenomenal
I loved what Mabie did in the POV's in this book and I seriously got overly excited at the 'possibilities' as to what she will do next. I loved the story within the story. I am anxious for more of that.
The desire these two characters had for each other? I can definitively say, without a doubt, that these two had a magnetism that no other characters have ever had....that I have ever read. It really showed what honest, true, soul-crushing love will do to you/for you/with you.
This epilogue was IT. I loved it. It was literally the frosting on the cake. The be-all and end-all to this amazing story.
Something to note: I found this book somewhat slow in the beginning and I really needed to focus to read and stay engaged, but after I actually got into it more, I couldn't put it down. Even though Sail left off at a completed story for ME, this book was chock full of fluff and love with no expectations. The best part was seeing Casey's emotions take over him. Good and Bad. Also, a little but of some other characters....hmmm????
If I ever felt like a series was done and finished PERFECTLY, this series was it. M Mabie really found a place on my must-reads list and I will continue to read her after what she did with my heart with this series. I will truly miss Casey and Blake....they took me by surprise and wrapped me up in their love.

"Honeybee, all of you belongs to me. Always has. These lips are mine. That bright pink nose. Your mistakes. You smiles. This body. Your heart. Your future. All mine."
Mother e'fing swoon!
Bait broke me, Sail healed me but Anchor made me believe in the promise of true love and soulmates.
Casey and Blake's story comes full circle in the Anchor. It had all the same feels and emotions that M. Mabie is famous for. The banter was light and funny and Betty and Lou were on point.
Casey and Blake struggled to find their way to each other in Bait, set a path for their future in Sail and found their happily ever after in Anchor.
June 17, 2017
Throughout the whole series I'd like to say that Casey and Blake grew up and finally made it happen. There were times that I felt Blake was a bitch but sometimes too damn naive. Overall though, this last book really was short not too overly dragged out with lots of dramas and a sweet and happy ending that I loved which was all in Casey's POV.

Love is not easy...to have or to write about, but Mo Mabie has done it with simplistic passion. Her characters are ordinary people with extraordinary battles to overcome. We all know love is extraordinary.
We first met Casey and Honeybee in Bait and we followed their desire, their intensity and their stuggle to fight what was in their hearts into Sail.
Their discovery, their overwhelming love and Casey’s adoration for Honeybee sails right into Anchor and here, right here is where Mo shines best…
In Anchor, she takes words that are simple, love that is endearing, faith that is solid, and determination that is unwaivering and closes a story of love so strong between two indviduals it makes you believe again. Believe that happily ever after exist, there is nothing stronger than love and nothing ever beats a failure but a try. She renews our faith, ignites a flame and throws caution to the wind while giving Casey and Honeybee everything they deserve and more.
Mo Mabie made me laugh out loud, deal with fear, control anger and then just when I think she is done, she makes me cry the most tears of joy I have shed in years. She writes this with such heartfelt emotion, such compassion the words show this was a labor of love.
Anchor...Mo Mabie has quite simply given a perfect ending to an imperfect beginning.
We first met Casey and Honeybee in Bait and we followed their desire, their intensity and their stuggle to fight what was in their hearts into Sail.
Their discovery, their overwhelming love and Casey’s adoration for Honeybee sails right into Anchor and here, right here is where Mo shines best…
In Anchor, she takes words that are simple, love that is endearing, faith that is solid, and determination that is unwaivering and closes a story of love so strong between two indviduals it makes you believe again. Believe that happily ever after exist, there is nothing stronger than love and nothing ever beats a failure but a try. She renews our faith, ignites a flame and throws caution to the wind while giving Casey and Honeybee everything they deserve and more.

Perfect
Great ending for one of my fave book couples. This was short and sweet but Lou and Betty finally got what they deserved.

How do I even begin to describe my love for Anchor by M. Mabie?
I could say reading Anchor is like having one last weekend, with all the people you love and adore, having the best and most memorable times of your life. I could also say reading this book is like eating a whole jar of Nutella, because it just keeps getting better and better the more you have it, and once you start it, you definitely have to devour the entire glorious thing until you’re practically licking it. I could even say reading this book is like coming home, and realizing what made that home so special, so unforgettable, and so distinctly perfect in the first place.
I could say so many things about what reading Anchor was like, bring out my comparisons until the cows come home, and yet I don’t think I would even come close to capturing how utterly wonderful, amazing, and downright phenomenal this book was.
Anchor follows Blake and Casey as they finally get their well-deserved and extremely hard fought happy ending. While there are so many things you need to know about Anchor, please know this: Anchor gives you the most satisfying, all-feeling, beautiful, and immensely meaningful endings EVER. It is hands down, one of my favorite books ever, and it also gives one of the best endings I have ever read. Seriously. M. Mabie knows how to give you an ending that will literally leave you in awe, and leave your heart, mind, and soul beyond filled with what you get from Blake and Casey in this book.
Now I am an immense lover of endings in general. They’re my jam, and they’re why I love series so much, because I get to go on such a journey with the characters in hopes of getting an ending that does them and their story the justice they warrant. M. Mabie does Blake and Casey, and their emotional rollercoaster of a story justice in every single way possible. I want to live in this book with Blake and Casey, and what M. Mabie so outstandingly creates for them through her exceptionally crafted writing. What she gives them is everything. It’s perfect, it’s wonderful, and it’s them through and through.
Reading Anchor was experiencing pure, unadulterated, swoonworthy literary perfection. It had all the feels. And I mean feels, upon feels, upon give me more of those amazing and heart melting feels. It had some definite twists and turns that had my jaw dropping, my heart soaring, and my mind going crazy with what those twists and turns revealed.
Anchor also had so many of the wonderfully distinctive things that made Blake and Casey them. Their humor and banter, their personalities that never failed to bring a smile to my face, and continued filling my heart over and over again as I read, and most of all their endearing, soul stopping, and awe inspiring love. My heart was bursting with Blake and Casey while reading Anchor, and I loved every incredible moment of it.
Blake’s pink nose? It’s there. Casey’s crazy and seriously touchable curls? Even better than before. Lou & Honeybee? They’re there in all their unforgettable glory. All the love, and feels, and laughs, and meaningful moments that make you want to laugh, cry, cheer, smile, and fist pump in the air all at once? You’ve got that all in spades in Anchor.
When I say Anchor gives you everything, I mean it truly gives you everything. It gives you so many moments that give you so many extraordinarily crafted feelings and emotions and thoughts. It gives you so many moments that make you cry the most meaningful tears because of what Blake and Casey are sharing in their the truly unforgettable, wholly mesmerizing, and completely soul touching moments. It also gives you so many moments that make you think some certain choice expletives in the best possible way, and will have your mind reeling at what you are learning. It’ll also have you chomping at the bit to see what comes next for some of the other seriously fabulous characters that make up these books. (Let’s just say I have no doubt that the books to come from Blake & Casey’s siblings will be nothing short of amazing too!)
You also get so many phenomenal moments in Anchor that reinforce why you love Blake and Casey, and their distinctive and highly wonderful flavor of love. Over and over again while reading, I kept being reminded of why I love these characters so much. They’re two of my favorite literary characters ever, and I know that so much of them will stay with me always. I personally think it’s impossible not to fall for their authentic, flawed, and wonderfully messy and highly endearing characters. They’re just the best, and I love them so fiercely. Anchor gave me one last amazing ride with them, and I basked in everything that I got to experience with them on that wonderful rollercoaster ride.
I think one of my favorite aspects of Anchor has to be that you really feel and see how far these two characters have come since they first met in Bait. You fully experience their evolution and journey, and it makes everything you get in Anchor that much better, and that much more beautifully meaningful.
Over the course of this series I’ve fallen heart first in love with Blake and Casey. Even in those moments when they were being two of the most stubborn characters around, and were making choices that completely broke my heart for them, I loved them. So fiercely. I have loved them every single step of the way on their journey together because through it all they kept fighting and trying and giving it their everything in order to be in the exact place they wanted and so truly deserved to end up at.
They had their missteps, their falls, and their moments that cracked your heart in two, right along with theirs leaving you heaving on the ground with what that gave you. (Taking that Bait never hurt so good!) Then they had their moments when they started to turn it all around, admitted to their wrongdoings, and started doing everything within their power to make themselves better and to fix what they shared. (The wind in those Sails definitely took!) In the end they came together in the most literal and soul connecting way, working together towards an ending they both craved and needed with every ounce of their being, and basking in the power and true awe of the love they shared. (That Anchor goes about as deep as it could ever possibly get!)
And in the end you had Blake and Casey at their absolute best, in the place they fought tooth and nail to get to, and relishing in the true beauty of their love and what it gave them.
Blake and Casey are very real, can be so messy and raw at times, and they don’t always get it right, but going through everything that they did in this series, made what you get from them in Anchor mean that much more. The ending that M. Mabie so perfectly crafts and gives you in Anchor is everything. It gives you the full force impact of Blake and Casey’s deep, heartfelt, and exceptional love. It allows you to realize and get how far these two have come, and all that they did to get to where they end up in this book. It also gives you a plethora of incredible moments that will melt your heart into a gooey pile of swoon and feels.
You get it all in Anchor, and I am telling you now that you will love everything that this book so fantastically gives you. You get every ounce of the unique and whole-hearted love and connection Blake and Casey share, and in the end you will be beyond thrilled with what you get from them both in Anchor. You’ll also never want their story to end, or to say goodbye to Blake and Casey, but even when you reach that ultimate end and have to say that last farewell, you’ll be in true literal awe of everything you’ve just experienced with them along their breathtakingly emotional rollercoaster ride of amazingness. That will make you feel everything under the sun, all at once in the most extraordinary way, and in that moment of pure and real awe as you reach “the end” you will bask in every single thing you got from Blake and Casey and their unforgettable love story.
That is all possible because of what M. Mabie so phenomenally gives you with her thoughtfully crafted and emotionally driven writing. Her writing and storytelling makes this book and this series the fantastic things that they are, and her true writing talent shines in this book. Her writing gives you so much, and you’ll want to take it all because it is so good. So. So. Good.
So what are you waiting for? Go get your Lou and his sweet honeybee. Go get the ending you fought and desired for just as much as they did. Go get your unforgettable and amazing feels. Go get your swoonworthy moments that will have you swooning all over the place. Go get your Blake and Casey. They’re waiting for you, and they’re ready to give you one helluva last ride on that rollercoaster they’re on together.
And you know what?
That ride, and what Blake and Casey so truly give you on it, is nothing short of spectacular.
It’s so distinctly them in the best possible way, because they are the absolute best. Period.

Naughty Rating 3 out of 5 
Anchor was a wonderful conclusion to The Wake Series novels. It tied up loose ends and focused on the characters working to achieve their "happy endings."
Anchor, picks up immediately where Sail ended and we find Blake recovering from the Grant incident. While Blake recovers, Casey has grown close to Blake's family. They didn't get to meet under the best circumstances, but his devotion and love for Blake has give them a good impression of him.
Once recovered, the bond between Blake and Casey only grows deeper. Now that they have the past in the past and Blake has given in to her love for Casey, things only get better between them. This gives the story the finale that the characters deserve.
Now I do have an issue with how they handled the Grant situation. As i read that part of the story, I was like What. The. F*ck? I completely disagree with how that issue was closed. It sort of caused the story to fizzle a bit for me. My anticipation for Anchor deflated a bit with the disappointed that part of the story left me with :(
I do still ♥ Casey. He has always been a favorite of mine. He was always such a gentle man filled with an intense love for Blake...even when she didn't make it easy for him. He stuck it out; which was a testament to his strength and will to fight for what he wants and loves. And the friendship that he and Blake has, was just as strong as ever. Even after everything they went through, they still had the ability to joke, tease and talk to each other in the cutest way. Their shared sense of humor was comical and entertaining.
Anchor was a quick read that provided a subtle and sensual ending to a hero I loved from the beginning and a heroine I learned to love.

*ARC provided by the author in exchange for an honest review
This is the third and final book in The Wake series which has been an epic and emotional rollercoaster for real from start to finish and I have loved every moment of it. The series definitely needs to be read in order and the first books are Bait and Sail.
After all the angst, frustration and agonising, Casey and Blake are finally together and setting up their lives as it always should have been. There is the small issue of Blake’s ex, Grant, to be resolved but this is taken care of relatively early in the read. What I loved about this book was it concentrated purely on Blake and Casey and even though I was on tenterhooks throughout, there were no further curve balls to be thrown in. In fact it was just pure romance, if not one of the most romantic reads I have read. Don’t get me wrong it wasn’t sickly sweet, after all these two could still throw the banter between them but it was the pure bliss of Lou and Betty, Casey and his honeybee. Even now, a few weeks after I had read it and finished the series, I still find myself tearing up because, well because I miss them!
The sexy times, as always with these two were amazingly hot, sensational and scorchingly passionate. This time though it was without all the tension and threats to their love being in the mix. The pure despair of Bait and angst of Sail were a journey that had to be taken in order to reach the superb romance and HEA of Anchor.
If you have not read this series then I highly recommend you do, especially if you love to be captivated in an emotive and entangled love story where no matter what conflicts are thrown in the way, love in the end is the ultimate winner. Beautiful and amazing series and I am so very saddened for it to end. Five plus zillions of stars read for me.

Favorite Quotes:
“If there were a pill I could take to make him disappear from my memory, I’d take two just in case.”
“I don’t ever want my stuff to be separate from your stuff. My stuff likes your stuff. Our toothbrushes are now having an affair. We can’t split them up.”
“And there were times I thought I’d love you alone for the rest of my life. Loving you forever would have happened whether I got to keep you or not.”
“He lay down next to me, but I feared for his health if he got much closer. I was fairly positive my breath could peel paint. I brought the sheet up to my mouth to spare him.”
“I’m a f* salesman. I could sell ketchup popsicles to a nun in white gloves – with a straight face.”
“We were perfectly imperfect.”
My Review:
I can only imagine that M. Mabie is naughty fun to be around, and she has certainly brought her A-game with Anchor. I found this book to be perfection. After torturing her characters with an all-consuming passion and the worst of luck through the first two books, she has finally turned them into united allies and written them a fun and playful love story that is my favorite kind of book - sassy, sweet, and steamy. The writing was crisp, smart, humorous, and sensual. I enjoyed every word on every page and was highly entertained throughout. I doubt I would ever tire of reading about this resilient, mischievous, and vibrant couple. Ms. Mabie’s levity and clever wit kept me smirking, her sensual scenes had me gasping, but she squeezed my heart, stung my eyes, and stole all the breath from my lungs with the very moving letter from Casey’s mother. All the books in this series have been exceptionally well written, but Anchor is by far my favorite.

Home is where your anchor is… 4.5 stars
*Received an ARC for honest review for Wicked Women*
Wow. What an ending to an angsty yet sweet love story. I’m bowled over by the last book. It was beautiful, highly emotional and of the three books, my favorite.
Casey once again stole my heart with his enduring love and adoration for his Honeybee. He was true to his words, they were simply stated, his faith in his love for Blake was unwavering and the perfection of their love was without a doubt beautiful to behold. They were two halves of a whole and they were in it together. But I still wasn’t sure how it would end with what transpired in Sail, not to mention the twists Ms. Mabie will spin to make our hearts beat out of our chests.
And boy was it epic. I looooooved it. Anchor was told in alternating POV and it ran seamlessly into each other. Of all three books, for me this was more emotional and beautiful. I love how beautifully the characters blended with each other. Casey’s family and Blake’s, the interaction, the dynamics made my heart happy and sappy. I sniffled in most parts because I kid you not, this was emotional, with the letter from someone dear to Casey and the sweet, sweet suggestion made by the doctor. OH MY GOD. The feels were afloat and running rampant all around me. So dudettes you better get our 1-clicking fingers ready to read this series because it was worth the wait and worth all the angst in the world.

I can not talk highly enough about Mo's last book with Casey and Blake. It was everything I thought it would be and more. I cried, I bawled, I laughed and my heart was waiting for the other shoe to drop constantly cause that's how Mo rolls lol! It was an amazing and awesome conclusion to Casey and Blake's story. Love isn't easy and you have to fight for what you want and deserve. Mo deserves more then 5 stars for this kick butt series. Bait tore me apart, Sail made my heart hope that fighting for love is all worth it and Anchor sealed their difficult and not easy love story. I could go on and on but really all I have to say was it was freaking awesome and deserves way more then 5 stars!! Oh and I do want to add that she nicely sets it up for spin off stories in the future! Genius this book was just genius!

Nothing has ever been easy for us.
Every fight, every struggle, has been worth it.
What a perfect ending for an angst filled series. It had all the feels. Blake and Casey have been through so much in their relationship since the very beginning. This is not a standalone. You have to read Bait and Sail before you can read Anchor.
Anchor starts off right where Sail left off. Casey is there for Blake during her healing process. She is his honeybee and he’ll do anything and everything for her. They both finally find the love they were looking for and deserved. We get to witness it firsthand. I might have gotten teary eyed at times (happy tears). The ending, the epilogue was just perfect. She was the Betty to his Lou.

Once again M.Mabie has done a fantastic job for giving me the feels with her books. Anchor, blew me outta the water! I've loved Blake and Casey from the beginning, even though there were times I wanted to throat punch Blake over and over. These two have been to hell and back and to see them finally together and happy, it's a wonderful thing. I was blushing at my husband in the middle of the book and a blubbering mess by the end. If you haven't already bought Bait,Sail and Anchor, one click those suckers and get ready for the ride of your life with Blake and Casey!

I was given an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. These are MY thoughts on it!
Holy book hangover.... Thanks for that M.Mabie. You totally owe me a box of tissues and a block of chocolate.
This book had my emotions going 100 miles per hour. Happy, Sad and EVERYTHING in between - I nearly died from all the feels.
Casey and Blake's story was such a beautiful one and I have an epic love for them.
This was a perfect end to this lovely series!
M. Mabie, will you be my BFF? #Serious

I have read everyone of these books and they are all the same, perfect, connection, heated moments, realistic along with ups and downs. I truly love this authors way of writing. I can't wait for her to write another one and I have a feeling it will be about Audrey and Troy. Although, I hope she writes something totally new with the same genre.

This series....it's everything. I don't even know how to go on now that it's over.
It's going to be hard to let go of Blake & Casey, but I'm so thankful I can go back and visit them again and again and again.

An unexpected and really enjoyable series. I was not a fan of Blake in Bait but I have to say I've forgiven her in Anchor. Casey has always been the bomb and I loved his spunk & enthusiasm ... A really great romance that made it through very turbulent waters

LOVEEEEEED. Perfect ending for these beloved characters. I felt like all of the passion and chemistry from book one was back in full force and I just absolutely loved this book.
