“The series ends with Cassandra, aka: Froot Loop, and Gabe's story. Gabe lost his wife and daughter in a car accident, and goes off for on drunken benders for days at a time. He hits the local bars, and the owners call Cassandra to come and take Gabe home. The book starts out with Cass making the decission to extricate herself from Gabe, and quit being his caretaker. Although she loves him, it about does her in to see him not able to move on with his life.
Her and the newly discovered siblings (books 1 & 2) are still debating if they should get in touch with their sperm donor, plastic surgon, father. Cass is turning 30 and wants a reunion, in her quest for family. The sisters do not, so on the sly Cass meets with the doctor's adopted sons. Notably, right after they meet, Cass has some accidents that are dangerous, but she survives, and in the course of this, her and Gabe's friendship moves on to that of lovers.
Added bonus is Marlys and Dean are reunited in this book, which is nicely woven in to the story. Love Marlys' big crazy dog too!
The sisters all get their HEA's, although through out most of this book Nikki and Juliet are pretty wrapped up in their own lives, and at times don't see the desperation in Cassandra to have a family. Their spouse/fiancies at times knew more about the goings on with Bage and Cass than the sisters did.
This was a great series, and wrapped up nicely in this book. One huge plus - an ecellent epilogue, so we do get our last glimpse of what the future holds for the half siblings.

“Good news: It was better than the last one, Unravel Me.
Bad news: It still wasn't as good as the first book, How To Knit A Wild Bikini, in my opinion.
I always thought that Cassandra was too nice, but in this book I found her to be someone more comparable to a doormat. Her relationship between her and her mother, and you don't have to look too far when it comes to her relationship with Gabe. And Gabe's self-pity was a major high in this book. I can understand the guilt of losing loved ones, but he was living his life with the intent of dying, and that I cannot understand.
What I did enjoy was the way the author wrote the book. It was quick, funny with some twists thrown into it. Wonderful.(3.5/5)”
