Circle Eight: Benjamin Paperback – July 5, 2016

I read all 8 and enjoyed the storyline which ran through all. I just wish the quality of the writing, missing words, wrong words, added words, etc had remained as good as book 1 and mostly, that the author had paid attention to details she provided in the books. For example Ben had been missing for 4 years but she changed that to 5 years. Miscalculated ages of the siblings ending with Matt being in his 40s in this book which takes place 14 years after book 1 in which his age is given as 25 tho he acts like 21.This author seems to have no concept of distance. She says the house is half a mile away and makes it seem like a very long distance. Ben and Caleb would have easily been able to hear the horses of 30 riders and since they were on top of a hill see them. They talked to the house which would have been a ride of about 20 seconds.I did like this book and the ending. Ben's past demons finally dealt with and the re-enforcement of the love from his siblings. The circle once again complete. Ben was only 19 and Grace 23 but that had to be for the plot to work. A few more questions could have been answered but all in all a great series that should be read in order starting with Matthew. This is the kind of series I like best.

While I love this entire series, Benjamín 's story is so poignant. Kid napped as a small child when he's rescued the darkness of his experiences follows follows Ben into adulthood . How does a brutalized soul find its way back to normality? The author does a great job of rounding out the series and showing Ben Graham finally conquering the darkness inside him when he returns to the place where he was imprisoned to help free another victim of a depraved villain.

After such a terrifying experience in his early childhood, it was nearly impossible for Benjamin to relate to anyone outside of his immediate family. Until Grace tracks him to his lonely hideaway and begs him to help recover hers son from the same horrible group that had taken him, Benjamin was completely isolated and shut down. Helping Grace and Henry bring the abusers to justice redeemed Benjamin in his own eyes and allowed him to open his heart to the possibility of love. Grace was so fiery and passionate that there was no way Benjamin could ignore her as he had the rest of the world. This was a really great story and I recommend the ENTIRE Circle Eight series to anyone who loves Romance!

I have never loved a family more than I do the Graham's. I love stories with large families that are protective and loyal to one another and that is exactly what the Graham's are. This series has it all adventure, mystery, heart ache and last but not least love. Usually I read a book and like it or hate it but not this series I feel in love with the entire family. And emotion usually doesn't come easily when I read but at the end of this series and Benjamin's story that is so traumatic, hear wrenching and loving tears were flowing down my face. Sad to see this series end but never have a read a better series. Happy Reading

Good conclusion to a great series. Benjamin's story was hard because the horrors he had endured watching his parents murdered when he was five and being sold as a slave to a pedophile were referred to but with no details. The horror that it was still happening to other children years after Benjamin was rescued and returned causes him to face his worse nightmare and go back to the compound and rescue another child. Author did a wonderful job of telling the story.

This is the last book in the Circle Eight series (8) and if you only want to read this book you will kick your self if you don't read the whole series in order. Not that this book alone is not a great read but to get a real feel for how close this family is and Benjamin's whole story, you need to read the series as one whole story...because it is...and you will love it. It goes to the top of my top ten list for western romance.

After reading Caleb's story, I couldn't wait to read this one. What a letdown. Caleb's story was fast paced and exciting. This one was slow and nearly boring. I never really connected with the heroine in any way. Instead of feeling she was a strong, independent woman I just felt she was..blah. The plot was okay. The execution was lacking. Honestly, I just think the author wanted to wrap up this series and get on with the next one. The best thing I can say about this book is that it didn't have as much offensive language in it as the last one.Language and sexual activity may offend some readers

I read all the books in this series and enjoyed them all. Could not read about one family member without knowing what happened to the next. Good reading! The sentences with puke and vomit could have been left out, they were in all the stories. All the stories! Other than that they were a good read and I would recommend them to anyone.

Having read the previous books in the Citcle Eight series, I expected a lot from this one. Emma Lang did not let me down. Benjamin's story was always going to be the last in the series and would not be easy to write. To recover from his horrific experiences in childhood Ben needed a lot of help. His family always included him in their love and thoughts, both while in capture and once returned to their folds. But that was not enough. His experiences resulted in anguish and anger that remained with him until he met Grace. She persuades him to help recover her own little boy who had also been kidnapped and taken to the compound in Mexico where Ben had been imprisoned for five years. This affords him the chance to atone for his deeds and to try to find redemption from his nightmares. I was so happy to read of his success and the triumph of family love over the years of horror for all the siblings and their families. Thank you Emma for the tears I shed - yes, another bucketful by the end of the book!

Perfect end to a perfect story. I have read and loved all the books in the series and this one brought t he Graham story to a perfect circle. It was wonderful that Benji got his happy ever after Nd that the baddies we're finally vanquished for ever. I have to admit that Matthew is still my favourite Graham.

I enjoyed the story of each sibling
