DAVEY
In a list of what’s most important to me, three things are right up there at
the top. My kids, my husband Mack, and my career I’ve spent my life building.
Unfortunately that career has me away from home more than I'd like, and when I
refuse to walk away from it, my husband walks away from me instead.
Living together post-divorce makes sense for us, but it blurs the lines between
what we were and what we have. Now that I’ve scored a big promotion and
negotiated twelve long weeks at home, memories of our life together haunt me.
They make me long for what we had. And now that Mack is moving on with someone
else, I’m being faced with the cold truth. I should never have let Mack go, and
now it might be too late to get him back.
MACK
Twelve weeks. It’s the longest Davey has been home since we had the kids, and
all it does is remind me of everything I wish I still had. So I decide this is
it. I have twelve weeks to remind Davey of everything he lost and hope like
hell when I give him the choice between work and me again, that this time he
chooses me.
None of my friends are on board with my plan, and the new guy in town is trying
his hardest to win me over. But I can ignore cute notes slipped into my
favorite books if it means getting back the man I’ll love forever.
All I need to do is remind him our life together was perfect.
Now if only our kids, our friends, and his work would get the memo…
Prepare for the final book in the Divorced Men's Club series! This low-angst,
M/M romance is between a himbo and his workaholic ex-husband. It has festive
fun, no love triangles or cheating, and a swoony Happily Ever After to end the

This is the sixth and final book in the series – and not only does it give us a
really lovely story to end on, but it also makes sure that the rest of the
couples take part in the mission to give these two guys a second chance.
Mack and Davey divorced mostly because Mack forced Davey to choose between his
career and his family. Davey chose his career, because that is how he believed
he brought value to their family. Neither were happy about it, and when Davey
is not at work, he spends it in the spare room of their family home, so he can
still see their children. This time he also sees Mack go out on a date...
spurring him to think about whether he can really live without him!
With some help, and some non-help from Art in particular, the two men
separately try and get help from their mutual friends to make the other see
that they should be together. It is a square that needs to be circled, and yet
it takes some home truths for them both to understand what changes could be
needed to get a fresh start.
I really enjoyed the humour which is brought by the chat groups, the passion
which spills over even when they are trying to be sensible, and the clear
evidence that they love each other, but communicate poorly.
Very enjoyable end to the series, thank you, Saxon James – already looking
forward to the next one!

I struggle with how many stars to rate this book. I have been soooo excited for
this last book. If you've read previous books in the series, you have been
waiting patiently to see if Mack and Davey get back together. We all know this
is a second-chance book and we all want them to get back together. But what I
personally didn't want was to rehash the same stuff over and over and over
again the first sixty percent of the book. It was tiring, frustrating, and I
just wanted someone in the DMC to stick Mack and Davey in a room and say hash
this out and don't come out until you do.
My heart did break for both Davey and Mack. You can tell they both still love
each other and they both want to be together. But instead of being adults and
talking things out, they both had ideas on how to get the other back and things
just spun in a circle too long in the book. One simple, honest conversation
could have spared them and the reader all the BS.
I did like how Mack was finally able to wake up and figure out he needed to
work on himself. Mack was a mess, who throws out divorce as an option and then
doesn't say wait I really don't want one but I'm serious about things needing
to change? Two years of being miserable for not being able to communicate.
When Davey and Mack both got their heads out of their butts and finally
admitted what each were feeling and wanted, the book got much better. They were
both still not communicating like they should since they were both still
thinking of ways to solve things but not hashing it out with each other.
In the end it all worked out. We got a good epilogue on them and the other DMC
members. I hate that the series is over and that the last book didn't go out
with a bang but I hope a new series is in the works.

Forgotten Romance is the sixth and final installment in the Divorced
Men's Club.
Davey and Mack are ending their marriage in the beginning of the book. They
loved each other more than anything, but at that time in their marriage they
both needed different things that they weren't getting from the other. Davey
was the sole provider and his work had him leaving for two weeks at a time.
Mack was home with two small children alone. Mack felt Davey was putting his
work over their family and Mack just wanted him to be there for the family
more. Davey worked hard to be where he was in his job. He was working so hard
to make a wonderful life for his family, but at what cost? When Mack said they
should divorce, he didn't truly want that and Davey would do anything (but
leave his job) to make Mack happy, so he agreed. Mack needed Davey to choose
the family and when he didn't, Mack was devastated. They agreed that to make it
easier for the kids, they would continue to live together when Davey was home
for those two weeks each month.
Davey and Mack don't want to go on like they are. They each want to show the
other they want their relationship back and enlist the rest of the DMC to help.
Honestly, the book could have been completed with one simple conversation, but
I loved how it all played out. I have been rooting for these two since the
beginning, they so deserved their happily ever after. I enjoyed getting to see
the rest of the DMC and their partners in this final book. I'm sad to see it's
over but I truly enjoyed the ride to get here.
